Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Birthing A Legend

Exceptional as always Pikachu: Return for now. Let's see what Scott pulls out next!? (Scott) Your Pikachu never disappoints Ash Ketchum. Let's see what you do about this one Captain? Latios: Let's Battle! I'm definitely not doing that to Bulbasaur. I thought, as I asked Lexi? Is Gabite ready for competition yet? (Lexi) As a matter of fact he is Captain Ketchum. She handed me his ball, Thank you Lexi. Gabite I need you, don't hold back, even a little bit! His ball wiggled in response, ok Gabite: Defend Battle City! (Rin) The next match will be Gabite versus Latios, Battle Start! (Scott) Latios: use Water Pulse to start this off. Last 2 pokemon, I turned my hat backwards something I do when I mean business.

Gabite: Swift, the speedy stars clashed with Water Pulse until they exploded mid-field. (Scott) *Long Whistle* That's an impressive Gabite, Ash. Latios is no pushover! I've really enjoyed battling you my young friend. I know you will reign for years to come, Captain Ketchum. Latios: Luster Purge! I grinned, thanks Scott, I know he's special. Gabite: Dragon Pulse, that's why he became my family. (Scott) I hear ya' Ash! The moves collided and yet again *BOOM* they were virtually even. (Scott) Ash, that Gabite of yours is something else. To even be able to stand up to Latios at all. Let alone almost break even with him. You have our respect, alright Latios: Telekinesis! Gabite flew back and was crushed against the walls surrounding the battlefield.

I could see him being pushed further into the wall. Latios was just trying with him! Tch! Fine, have it your way! Gabite: Pulse Breath! The fire of Dragon Breath with the Power of Dragon Pulse. Gabite risked burning himself to break through Latios' psychic power. We all heard it crack as the pressure on Gabite gave way. It socked Latios right in the face, sending it flying backwards actually tumbling the ground. As they both got back to their upright positions. (Scott) *Long Whistle* That Gabite is going to be a problem some day. He's well on his way to that now, most impressive. Latios: Hyper Beam! Tch! Gabite: Dig, he came out right under Latios' chin getting another solid hit in. He peaked over his head, I said Dual Chop! Gabite brought down his claws right on Latios' crown.

(Scott) Latios! Are you ok old buddy? (Latios) This child is powerful for his age. I like his spunk! (Scott) Agreed my friend, you ok to keep going? (Latios) *Scoffs* as if this up start is good enough to get the drop on me! I scoffed back, seems to me like we've gotten the drop on you three times now. Gabite: Dragon Twister, Go! (Scott) Alright Latios: Respond in kind! The attacks exploded on contact mid-field. Creating a smoky cloud cover (Scott) Latios: Zen Headbutt! Gabite: Push back with Iron Head! This was a gamble I was willing to take, don't stop Gabite: Dragon Rush! (Scott) Two can play at that game Ash, Latios: Use Giga Impact, the two dragons clashed center field. When the impact cloud cleared, Latios was looking down at an unconscious Gabite. Visibly damaged from the battle, but still ready to go.

I sighed, Gabite: Return, as the crimson flash cleared. Thanks buddy, you're the best, you did more than you think you did. Ok, I reached for his ball, Gyarados: Defend Battle City! *ROARR* Gyarados shook the battlefield with his roar. Latios was not intimidated by the show of aggression. He proceeded to roar right back at Gyarados. (Rin) Gyarados versus Latios, Battle Resume! Gyarados: Hydro Pump, he unleashed a lot of water, I mean a lot. (Scott) Latios: use Water Pulse to defend yourself. The moves clashed and broke even, Woah! That's some insane power for a Water Pulse but, Gyarados isn't going down without something to show for it! Gyarados: Flamethrower (Scott) Latios! Telekinesis, send those flames back. My poor buddy got cooked a bit there, however Scott fell for it.

Alright Gyarados: Facade!

Gyarados landed his first meaningful hit of the match. Latios was sent backwards reeling from Facade. Now! I punched the air in front of us, Hyper Beam, Gyarados! *BOOM* landing his second meaningful strike of the match. Latios felt that one alright, he had to land to catch his breath. We took our shot after the effects of Hyper Beam wore off. Gyarados: get in close and wrap it up! Gyarados was able to constrict the Latios we were facing, squeezing the fight out of him. Now! Ice Fang! My angry fish is a brawler, he relishes in fights with strong opponents. (Gyarados) Ash, this is one tough customer! I think I like him a bit. (Scott) Latios: Ice Beam! He got Gyarados right in the maw with it, freezing his face. Use that ice as part.of your attack! Gyarados: Headbutt.

*Crash* the sound of crushing ice was heard as Gyarados smashes his head against Latios' face. Alright Gyarados! Use Crunch! (Scott) Quick Latios: Zen Headbutt, although Gyarados made contact, Zen Headbutt socked him good. I watched as his grip slacked and he fell unconscious. (Rin) Gyarados is unable to continue. Latios takes the point! *Sigh* you ready buddy? (Pikachu) Always Ash! I punched the air in front of us PIKACHU: DEFEND BATTLE CITY! Just like at Lilly of the Valley, Latios tilted its head and looked down upon Pikachu. (Latios) What are you supposed to do? plush toy! Pikachu stood up and started at Latios. (Pikachu) *Cracked his knuckles* Metagross, Gyarados, Milotic, Regice, and even one of your kind... All under my Thunderbolt! He dropped back down to all fours and sparked his cheeks.

You're no different, you're just the next to fall. Latios narrowed it's eyes to slits (Latios) You dare!? You presumptuous braggart! (Scott) Latios: Dragon Pulse. I grinned at them Pikachu, show them! Introduce yourself to Latios: THUNDERBOLT! The moves clashed mid-field and broke even. Latios was visibly shaken by this (Latios) how? (Scott) Snap out of it Latios, this mouse means business! You're damned right we do! Pikachu: Electroball (Scott) Latios: fight back with Water Pulse! *KABOOM* the powerful attacks blinded the crowd, and left behind a cloud cover. Pikachu: Quick-Tail (Scott) Latios: Take off! Now, use Giga Impact! Pikachu managed to graze Latios' chest as he avoided the worst of it. As he landed, Latios was turning around getting ready to come at Pikachu. Alright buddy, I said through aura bond, Use Volt Tackle to take off, Fly and Use Quick attack to speed it all up. Pikachu: Flying Volt Tackle!

*BOOM* They clashed and were both sent flying backwards. Pikachu was able to correct while Latios smacked the wall. Pikachu: Thunder Wave! Pikachu managed to inflict a status condition on Latios. (Scott) Tch! Latios: Light Screen. Damn, I thought, that's gonna be in effect for a few turns. Alright buddy, time to turn it up to 11! Pikachu: Aura Sphere! (Scott) Woah! Didn't see that one coming. Latios: Use Dragon Pulse to defend yourself!

-Flashback-

(Pikachu) Hey! Why didn't you wake me up!? I don't like missing this training regimen. I want to show you something! He held out his tiny paw and an Aura Sphere began to form slowly. Amazing Pikachu! When did you learn Aura Sphere!? (Pikachu) Some time in the last week the energy started developing. This is as far as I can go with it, for now. Awesome Pikachu! You really are well on your way to being the strongest, aren't ya' buddy!?

-Flashback End-

KABOOM!! Aura Sphere and Dragon Pulse collided setting off another dust cloud obscuring the battlefield. Pikachu: Mega-Thunder Punch! (Scott) Latios: Safeguard! Although Thunder Punch is halved by Light Screen, Mega Punch is not! BOOM! The secondary effect of Thunder Punch activated Latios' Safeguard. Pikachu: show them that means nothing to us! THUNDER! Latios: Fight back with Thunderbolt! It wasn't until Latios pulled on Electric Tae. That he found out just what kind of monster this tiny titan he was facing was. When it came to electric power he was utterly overshadowed! Pikachu unleashed a Thunder that caused the weather to change. As the energy continued to gather in the clouds, Pikachu was kneading power into a new attack. The second stage of the attack was gathering into an Electroball. Pikachu held on to the Electroball as Thunder came down on him.

As the power boosted Thunder struck Pikachu, it formed three rings around it. They separated forming a structure resembling an atom. Latios and Scott were wondering what they were going to try. (Scott) Whatever they're trying don't let them win Latios: Luster Purge! I grinned (Pikachu) you think that's gonna stop this!?! I already told you, I've beaten one of your kind. Just 3 months ago, in Sinnoh! Now, Take This! I interjected, Pikachu: Electro Cannon! (Spencer) Just what kind of monster IS that Pikachu!? The beam met Luster Purge and clashed with it for a few moments. Then Luster Purge began to get pushed back. Inching it's way back to Latios' face BOOM! The explosion sent him flying backwards at an odd angle. He skipped unceremoniously across the battlefield into a wall, cratering it. Visible electrical discharge arcing over his body.

(Rin) Latios is unable to continue, Captain Ketchum and Pikachu take the point. Scott takes a deep breath, and pulls on a necklace he was wearing. He removed the Ultra Ball attached to the chain. (Scott) Well Ash, I really do enjoy any time you're in a battle, even if you're thrashing me. He chuckled at that, he tossed the ball up in his palm. When he caught it (Scott) The real battle begins now! Zapdos: Let's Battle! Tch! This is definitely not the way I saw this going. Pikachu: Return, I'll need you again. Time to finish the battle we started. Tyranitar: Defend Battle City! ROAR! Tyranitar made his presence known on the battlefield again. Zapdos cawed loudly in response to this. (Zapdos) Chosen one, I didn't think I would meet you this soon. From my perspective you appear to be in control at least.

This youngling you battle me with, he was meant to be with you. I will enjoy this battle Ash Ketchum! This legendary bird from another region knows my friggin' name!? (Rin) This is Scott's last pokemon, while Captain Ketchum still has four usable partners. Tyranitar versus Zapdos Battle Start! (Scott) Zapdos: Bulk Up! Then use Close Combat! Tyranitar: Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail don't let them in. They exchanged blows and Zapdos was able to get a good kick in. Tyranitar was sent rolling backwards in a heap. Yo, Tyranitar! You still with me buddy? He jumped up so fast and red in the face. ROAR! That's it buddy! Metal Claw and Iron Tail, Go! They clashed again for a few exchanges until (Scott) Zapdos: Thunderous Kick!

Tyranitar was sent flying and skipped across the battlefield. He grunted as he got up a bit dazed from the kick. (Tyranitar) What the hell is that thing made of!? Really tough stuff, apparently! Through our bond I said, listen closely Tyranitar, we can only do this once! Tyranitar shook the fuzz out of his head (Tyranitar) Ok Ash, I hear you. Metal Claw, Iron Tail, Iron Head, Superpower, now I said out loud, OUTRAGE! (Scott) Zapdos: Brick Break, Rock Smash, and Thunderous Kick: Close Combat! This exchange was something else entirely, Tyranitar was holding his own against the assault. He actually managed to knock it away with a well placed Iron Tail. That took nearly 2 full minutes, I think Tyranitar is starting to see the way Zapdos fights. As their second exchange progressed, it almost looked like Zapdos was training Tyranitar. Zapdos let the impromptu training session go on for just short of 3 minutes this time.

That Thunderous Kick is some move! Poor Tyranitar got socked good. He was sent flying backwards into one of the surrounding walls. *Whiiirrrrr* (Rin) Tyranitar is unable to continue, Scott and Zapdos take the point. Damn it, *sigh* Tyranitar: Return, the crimson ray absorbed the unconscious Tyranitar. Thanks old friend, you did very well today! I won't let your hard work go to waste. His ball wiggled in acknowledgement, alright my brother, I said to his ball. I tapped the release button to expand the ball. Listen Bulbasaur, I know you're one of my oldest and most trusted family members. I know why you stayed where you are now, but if in this battle you should choose to.

Just know you have my blessing to release ALL your restraints today. *Deep Sigh* BULBASAUR: DEFEND BATTLE CITY! I could feel as Bulbasaur's aura expanded. I never noticed that cap he kept on his own power. Until now, when the only remaining restraint on his power was evolution itself. (Rin) Bulbasaur versus Zapdos, Battle Start! Bulbasaur: Grassy Terrain and follow it up with Leaf Storm. I was aware that Bulbasaur the supposed weakest of the team. But! I know my buddy and he's the hardest working, most tenacious pokemon I have ever met, of any species. (Scott) Zapdos use Gust to get rid of it. Bulbasaur: Ingrain, I said through our bond. Bulbasaur: Sunny Day! (Ian) Open the skylight Rin, give Zapdos and Bulbasaur some space. (Scott) Thanks Ian, Zapdos: Ancient Power.

Ok Bulbasaur: Defend yourself with Magical Bomb! Zapdos zigging and zagging through the onslaught of explosive seeds. BULBASAUR! Released your hold and jump: Power Whip! Zapdos was really tall and Bulbasaur used the Power Whip as an uppercut. Zapdos managed to move out of its way. Using Brick Break, he kicked Bulbasaur away from himself. Poor Bulbasaur was getting socked up good, get underneath him and use Poison Bomb. I said via aura bond, Bulbasaur: Magical Leaf Storm! The way Meganium worked her magic with Magical Leaf and it's variants. Bulbasaur spent his time learning his poison type moves. The Magical Leaf Storm is a real move but it's a cover for his actual attack.

Using the cover of the leaves Bulbasaur moved with surprising speed. Making his way under Zapdos, he unleashed Poison Bomb right into its gut. SCREEECHH! Zapdos let out a screech of pain as Bulbasaur connected his attack. Then he got kicked away by a Thunderous Kick. Poor buddy, he flew into the wall! He barely managed to correct so he hit the wall claws first. Still the amount of force it takes to make a crater of that size is not a laughing matter. BULBASAUR!!! NOOO! PLEASE BUDDY BE OK!! Please Bulbasaur, you're one of my strongest friends. This can't be the way we end up! (Bulbasaur) Shut up will ya'? It's just a twinge in the knees, I'm fine. He landed back on the battlefield, shook his bulb out and roared his readiness.

YES! I fist pumped thanking my lucky stars that he's still in the battle. I need him to do more than just poison him. If Bulbasaur is gonna get taken out, he's leaving a mark to remember him by. I ask you guys to do all kinds of things. Things I know that only you can do when I ask them of you. I need you to use Power Whip as a slingshot and hit Zapdos with Skull Bash. (Bulbasaur) Woah dude, this is gonna hurt! *Chuckles* I'm in! He was off, bounding towards Zapdos with speed I wasn't aware he had. NOOW BULBASAUR! Skull Bash. He launched himself at Zapdos using Power Whip. As he approached I said: Sludge Bomb! Bulbasaur mucked up his eye right before socking it to him in the same eye with Skull Bash. SCREEECHH! (Zapdos) You impudent welp! Snatching his neck quickly he pulled Bulbasaur off his feet.

He yanked downward and Bulbasaur slammed on the battlefield Cratering it. Ripping one of his vines out, BULBAASAAUUURRRR! NOOOOO! Rin's motivatior fans whirring as she scanned the battlefield. Why did I send you out there little buddy? What have I done to you? BULBASAUR get up! (Bulbasaur) Fuck! Ugh... What the hell was that!? He tried to move, and a searing pain went up his back on the side the vine was torn from. (Ash) BULBASAUR! (Rin) Bulbasaur is unable to continue.. Saur! (Bulbasaur) That really hurt you oversized pidgey! This... This is important, something of great value and prestige for our entire team. He said this as he struggled back to his feet. I am a founding member of team Ketchum, something I have NEVER taken lightly. Bulbasaur ground out, until today I have never needed anything more than the power I have now.

But you, you look down on me, while praising my brother. How dare you look down on me! The light began to gather at his claws and slowly crept upwards. He began to expand as the light enveloped him. My friend grew to 3/4 the size of a Venusaur, and his bud opened a bit. His claws dug into the ground as his aura expanded. (Oak) Impossible... Have I been sitting on a King class Bulbasaur this entire time!? As Professor Oak was thinking this a bit too loudly (Delia) Mimey? Does he feel like? (Mimey) The Master's Venusaur? (Delia) Mmmhmm (Mimey) yes, it just broke into the King rank, barely. That is more than impressive for ANY pokemon, let alone one in the middle of an evolution. (Delia) Right again Mimey, what an incredible friend my son found himself. (Spencer) How is it possible? This Ivysaur is more powerful than my Venusaur!? At the height of the evolution my brothers vine grew back and two more joined it. (Ivysaur) Have I been sitting on this much power this whole time!?

He shook his head, laughing at himself for waiting this long. He looked up at Zapdos his aura conveying his will. (Scott) That was the Bulbasaur that tied with Brandon's Solrock!? Yikes! What a monster! Well, monster or not Zapdos: Thunderous Kick. Ivysaur: Leech Seed! The seed hit its mark and began sucking away at Zapdos slowly. Ivysaur: Bind it, get it off its feet! Using four of his six whips he yanked Zapdos off its feet, felling it for the first time in the match. Now! Ivysaur: Energy Ball, the ball launched at his blind spot getting another hit in on Zapdos. (Zapdos) Impressive young one, your tenacity, your aura, your power. Well done! It cawed at us. It has been quite some time since I have been forced off of my claws. Said claws lit up in Rock Smash and Brick Break respectively. (Scott) Alright Zapdos: Close Combat! Ivysaur: Swallow one more Energy Ball then use Magical Bomb and Solar Beam.

Ivysaur began collecting sunlight as the Energy Ball formed in his maw. He swallowed it as the Seed was ready to launch. The seed itself took on more power and he launched it in the air. His leaves shining a rainbow hue, as the onslaught of seeker bombs scattered across the battlefield. This time Zapdos took a few shots from the attack. Not enough to hurt it, but definitely enough for Zapdos to feel it. Zapdos still connected the Close Combat and pummeled my Ivysaur good. *Whiirrr* (Rin) Ivysaur is unable to continue, Zapdos takes the match. Ivysaur: Return! As the crimson flash cleared. You did incredible work today Ivysaur, congratulations on the next level. His ball wiggled in response to my words. Damn it! Almost down to the wire huh!? (Pikachu) I'm so stoked! This is gonna be great! Yeah it is buddy, I grabbed up his ball next ok Infernape time for round two! Defend Battle City!

-Infernape's P.O.V-

That's a friggin Zapdos this time! What the hell Ash!? What kind of shit are you getting in to this time!? (Ash) You're looking at it my friend, this is a Galarian Zapdos, he is a fighting type. I grinned at that bit of information, Bulbasaur really let him have it! I see Razor Leaf cuts, Magical Bomb strikes, is that the burn from a Power Whip!? That is definitely an Energy Ball burn, a Dragon Claw strike. An Iron Tail hit, my entire team left me a road map. I grinned even harder at them and beat my chest spitting out a flame in challenge.

-End Infernape's P.O.V-

(Rin) Zapdos versus Infernape, Battle Resume! (Scott) Zapdos: Thunderous Kick, Brick Break, Close Combat! Alright Infernape you really need to bring it! Blaze Kick, Fire Punch, Mach Punch, Iron Tail, Headbutt, Double Kick, and Flame Charge. I said through our aura bond, Scott heard Now Infernape: Flaming Combat! First he landed the Double Kick on the burn mark from Ivysaur's Power Whip. Next he jumped upward landing a fire punch on the spot where Tyranitar struck with that Iron Tail. In a back flip he landed a Blaze Kick on the underside of its beak. As he descended I said Infernape: Assist! A glowing rainbow hued ball appeared in his palm.

He chuckled it at Zapdos' face, it exploded into several seeker spheres bombing Zapdos over and over again. It was Meganium's Magical Bomb, now that Zapdos was a lot slower, he could be hit with it. SCREEECHH!! (Scott) Zapdos: Counter! Infernape was pushed backwards a few feet before he tumbled for a few more. He got up with a grunt of pain and frustration. Let's get creative Infernape: Acrobatic Blitz! Shaking his head out he jumped up and glowed like Acrobatics before Flare Blitz lit up creating a teal colored flame. He got two hits off before he was struck (Scott) Zapdos: Use Reversal then follow it up with Superpower and Blaze Kick! Poor Infernape got hit good! He rocketed into the wall cratering it. He fell out of that crater and landed on all fours.

Hey Infernape, you good? He shook his head out before he looked at me again. (Infernape) I'm fine, we can keep going. Alright Infernape! Use Facade! This time he caught Zapdos in the hip of the favored leg. (Scott) Zapdos: endure it for a bit longer old friend. Use Giga Impact! As Infernape slid to a stop and looked up he witnessed as the Giga Impact gathered around him. Infernape, a little longer, were almost there! I just need one more good hit on him, can you do that for me? (Infernape) I'm game captain! Alright Infernape! Use Bulk Up! Wait for him to come to you, as Zapdos got withing striking distance NOW! INFERNAPE: COUNTER! Successful as the hit might have been, Zapdos also connected his attack. The force plus the counterforce of the abrupt stop knocked Infernape out.

*Whiiirrrrr* (Rin) Infernape is unable to continue Zapdos takes the point. Captain Ketchum is down to his last pokemon. Pikachu versus Zapdos, Battle Resume! (Scott) Zapdos! Light Screen then Ancient Power. Climb it! Pikachu zig-zagged upwards through the Ancient Power. At his apex Pikachu: Thunderbolt! SCREEECHH! (Zapdos) Impossible! How are you anywhere near THAT strong!? (Pikachu) I'm not afraid of you! I too am legendary, among my kind, THE WORLDS STRONGEST!! Pikachu: Quick Attack! He got his attack off and ricochet upwards. At his apex Electroball, Pikachu! Don't let up on them we've almost earned our own turf. Zapdos' Light Screen might be cutting the effects but, Pikachu is extra, extra strength!

(Zapdos) You tiny terror! How do you have a solid Kings nature now!? (Pikachu) Thank the maker! He cracked his little knuckles Thunder Punch coming to life, before Volt Tackle enveloped him. Pikachu: Volt Punch! When Pikachu made contact everyone in the arena had to cover their eyes. Zapdos' now electrified eye was swollen shut. Now Pikachu: Flash! The blinding light taking up all of Zapdos' visual field. Pikachu: Ion Tail hit'em now! (Scott) Zapdos: Reversal Pikachu was caught mid-air and was launched at the far wall. Smacking loudly into it, a spiderweb crack appeared under him. Pikachu! Come on buddy, you can do it! My buddy wiggled himself out of his personal crater. Landed on the ground and shook off the excess dust.

He then took a deep breath and let off a massive Thunderbolt. (Pikachu) Ivysaur was right... COME GET SOME YOU OVERGROWN PIDGEY!! Big guns Pikachu: Electro Sphere! BOOM! SCREEECHH! (Zapdos) What amazing power you possess at such a young age. (Scott) Zapdos: Use Blaze Kick and follow it Throat Chop! Pikachu: Bide! They wanted a show? Today they'd see WHY my Pikachu is the world's strongest! Pikachu skipped across the battlefield taking the hit like a champ. When he stood back up he was glowing red. Alright Pikachu! Way to tank that kick buddy, let'em have it! I punched the air in front of me, and Pikachu released a beam of condensed energy. Giving Zapdos back what he just sent at us. SCREEECHH! Finally Zapdos was breathing heavy, not moving because it was simply to tired to do so. Pikachu was gonna run out of steam soon, we need to end this.

Last one buddy, put it all in to the next attack! Pikachu: Finish this with Electro Cannon! Ash, Pikachu: Catch! He tossed a stone at Pikachu, of all the things that could possibly happen. This is definitely not the thing I expected. I'm not sure if Ian thought he was helping. It all happened so fast it was almost too late from the start. Pikachu caught the thunder stone and began to evolve. PIIKAACHUUU!!! I jumped at him flaring my aura, I scooped him up. Focussing all of myself into reversing the evolution. Pikachu too was fighting the evolution with me. Between his aura and my own, we pushed back. He was expanding when we stopped it, he gained a head in height. The initial thunder stone being sacrificed to birth a Light Ball. Now Pikachu was doubly pissed at this Zapdos for looking down on his team, and this pilot for almost causing a disaster. Ash was holding the Light Ball that was created. Here Pikachu, let's finish this!

Pikachu absorbed the Light Ball making his cheeks turn a dark yellow. His power suddenly matched the aura he can produce now. Electroball began to form on his tail as he gathered Electric Tae. He shot Thunder into the air and waited for the return. As I returned to the trainer's box. The first ring formed around the Electroball. When Thunder struck Pikachu, the ring split into three, gyrating around the sphere. Zapdos was just struggling to its feet, when Pikachu unleashed our current strongest attack. (Scott) You don't need to move any more old friend. Fight back with Hyper Beam! Scott was unaware that Electro Cannon was made specifically to fight Hyper Beam. Pikachu calls it, the electric type answer to it. Hyper Beam and Electro Cannon collided and, little by little Electro Cannon was winning the contest of strength. The attack didn't quite make it back to Zapdos but it blew up close enough to him that he finally succumb to the battle.

*Whiiirrrr* (Rin) Scott's Zapdos is unable to continue. Pikachu takes the match, all of Scott's Pokemon are unable to continue, all of Spencer's, Tucker's, and Brandon's Pokemon have also been eliminated. Captain Ketchum has completed his assigned challenge and has taken command of Battle City as its Frontier Brain. Pikachu falls on his butt and just sighs deeply (Pikachu) that's was too fucking much! Passing out from the battle and pseudo-evolution. (Scott) That was amazing! I have never seen an evolution stopped, nor a light ball formed. This is something I'll remember always, thank you Ash, Pikachu. He handed me a key card with a ring attached to it, it was the main keys to my home turf. I started at the keys for a few moments silently. Then I took a deep breath and punched straight in to the air. YES! I'M A FRONTIER BRAIN!

(Scott) I have to ask you Ash, How were you prepared for this challenge today? I grinned at Scott, I was battling at the last two Battle Clubs doing double battles. Tyranitar came to be a week ago, and I've been catching pokemon since I left Sinnoh with Piplup's egg. Professor Oak! Mom! (Oak) You were beyond amazing out there today, all of you were! Ash! You have two King nature pokemon on your team now. Aside from being a Frontier Brain now, Pikachu and Ivysaur. Emboar and Servine performed like A+ rank pokemon today. Infernape performed like a low S-Rank, everyone was beyond impressive today. I have never been as proud of my team, as I am today. Thank you Scott, Tucker, Spencer, and Brandon. You helped my pokemon in ways I can't begin to explain to you today. I bowed low to thank them (Spencer) please Ash, we're contemporaries now! It was our pleasure to help you cross that threshold.

(Delia) ASH! My baby boy ohhhh, look at you so powerful and the master of your own domain. I am extremely proud of you son.

(Mimey) You really did well Ash! That Darumaka of yours will be a great help to your journey here. Wait til' you see what other surprises await your team. Thanks Mimey! You're the best, keep taking care of Mom you hear me? (Mimey) As you command Captain! He said mock saluting me. (Iris) Ash! What kind of monster are you!? That! She said pointing at the battlefield, my goodness, that was amazing! (Cilan) Ash, yet again you impress the whole audience with your creativity and out of the box style. I feel bad for whoever has to face you in the capacity of Frontier Brain. (Brandon) Young man, you have such a mature grasp of the battlefield. The tactical mind to back up your creativity.

As well as the power to back all of that up. May your journey as a Frontier Brain be fruitful and long. He said this as he shook my hand firmly. I was curious to see what kind of battle you would show us and I have decided that this is the appropriate welcoming gift for you. *Flash* a shiny cobalt blue Beldum was now on the battlefield. This one is powerful Ash! I believe he will become an integral part of your team Captain Ketchum. *Beep*Beep*Beep* the alarm on the Drudigon egg was going off!
