CHAPTER 48 - THE SEMI-FINAL FRONTIER!
Previously in Pokemon Chaos and Order...
The Unova League continues with a bang! As Kevin and Trip advance to the Semi-Finals of the League, there was only one more slot in the Semi-Finals, and Ash and Sawyer battled for it.
Despite appearing to have the advantage, Sawyer lost to Ash's Greninja, even after using his Mega Sceptile. Now, Ash advances to the Semi-Finals and is ready to face Kevin.
.......................................................................
"GARCHOO! DRAGON CLAW!" Remo Louie, one of the Semi-Finalists, commanded his Garchomp, nicknamed Garchoo. Garchomp's talons then glowed green and grew bigger. Garchoo then charged towards its opponent, being Trip's Serperior.
Trip however, didn't appear to be intimidated. He smirked. "Draw it in and use Dragon Tail!" He commanded. Serperior's tail becomes covered in a purple, scale-patterned aura. It then slaps the incoming Garchomp with its tail, sending it flying to the side.
"GARCHOO!" Remo cried out to his Pokemon. When then dust cleared, Garchomp has fallen unconscious. "Garchomp is unable to battle!" Exclaimed the referee. "Serperior wins! Which means the victor, and the first Trainer to reach the League Finals is Trip Shooty!"
"Child's play..." Trip murmured before returning Serperior to its Pokeball before walking away from the Battlefield. "And another incredible performance by Trip!" Exclaimed the announcer. "Being able to eliminate most opponents with just Serperior and Cryogonal!"
Ash was standing on the platform where he was supposed to be for his Semi-Final Battle, watching the footage of Trip's victory over Remo and the announcer praising Trip. 'Either me or Kevin will have to defeat you Trip...' Ash thought to himself. 'And that will be me!'
Ash then stepped up to the light of the Battlefield, ready for his long awaited battle with Kevin. Kevin then walks up to his side to the Battlefield. "So this is going to be our first Battle..." Kevin said. Ash nodded. "So let's make it a good one!" He replied.
The Referee walked up to the Referee stand. "The final battle of the Semi-Final Round of the Unova League, between Ash Ketchum and Kevin Kong, is about to get underway!" He exclaimed. "This will be a six-on-six full battle! The Battle will be over when all six of either side's Pokemon are unable to continue!"
Kevin was the first one to draw out a Pokeball. "GENGAR! LET'S GET GOING!" He exclaimed while hurling his Pokeball forward, releasing his first Pokemon. It was a dark purple, bipedal Pokemon with a roundish body. It has red eyes and a wide mouth that is usually curled into a sinister grin. Multiple spikes cover its back, and it has large pointed ears. Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet. It also has a stubby tail.
"GENGAR!" It cried out in an eerie, almost haunting way. "Oh boy..." Ash said. "I have bad memories from this Pokemon..." he then drew out his first Pokeball as well. "ESPEON! I CHOOSE YOU!" He exclaimed while hurling his Pokeball forward, releasing his Espeon.
"Gengar vs. Espeon!" The referee exclaimed. "LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!" He exclaimed while bringing his arms down, allowing the Battle to officially begin.
"Alright Gengar! Use Shadow Ball!" Kevin commanded. Gengar puts its hands together and creates a purple, black and red shadowy blob between its hands. It then fires the blob at Espeon. "Espeon! Counter it with your own Shadow Ball!" Ash commanded.
Espeon then fired a similar shadowy blob at Gengar. Instead of colliding, the two Shadow Balls phased through each-other and went over to the opposite side of the Battlefield, colliding with their targets. "And we start this battle off with a collision of two Shadow Balls!" The announcer exclaimed.
"Okay then, that won't work..." Kevin murmured. "Then use Sludge Bomb instead!" He commanded. Gengar puts its hands together and creates a blob of dark-purple sludge between them. Gengar then hurls the blob at Espeon, transforming into a wave.
(Like this...)
"Use Psychic!" Ash commanded. Espeon's eyes started to glow light-blue and the gem on its forehead glowed red. Espeon's body then becomes surrounded by purple, swirling aura. The wave of sludge then becomes surrounded by the same purple swirly aura as Espeon, before exploding into a million different blobs of sludge which spread around the battlefield.
"HYPNOSIS LET'S GO!" Kevin commanded. Gengar’s eyes body shine in an ever-changing bright yellow, blue, green and purple light. Espeon's world then becomes full of colors.
(Like this...)
Espeon's eyelids then become heavier and heavier until it can't keep them opened anymore, and it falls asleep in the middle of the Battlefield. "ESPEON NO!" Ash exclaimed in worry. "And Gengar's Hypnosis caused Espeon to fall fast asleep!" Exclaimed the Announcer.
"Now Dream Eater!" Kevin commanded. Gengar's eyes flash red and it creates a shadow-like version of itself. The shadow then goes through Espeon, causing sparkling green orbs of energy fly out of Espeon and into Gengar.
"Gengar healed itself..." Ash murmured to himself. Espeon's body then flashed blue. Gengar's body then also flashed blue, before collapsing into the ground, fast asleep while Espeon woke up. "WHAT THE?!" Kevin exclaimed in confusion. "That's Espeon's ability!" Ash exclaimed in realization. "That's Synchronise!"
"Now's our chance Espeon!" Ash exclaimed. "Use Morning Sun!" He commanded. Espeon's body becomes surrounded by white sparkles and its body glows white. The gem on its forehead then glows brightly. "And Ash took advantage of the fact that Gengar is asleep to heal his Espeon to perfect health!" Exclaimed the referee.
"Now use Psychic! Attack Mode!" Ash commanded. Espeon's eyes glowed cyan and the gem on its forehead glowed red. Its body then becomes surrounded by swirly purple aura. Espeon then jerks its head back and forth (only once), firing a purple blast of energy from it at Gengar which then turns into a sphere of energy that surrounds Gengar, which is then hurled away.
"Gengar!" Kevin cried out, worried for his Pokemon. When the dust cleared, Gengar had woken up and stood up. Gengar's body becomes surrounded by a pinkish aura. Espeon's body shakes and is surrounded by a pinkish aura in the same manner. "Oh no! That's Cursed Body!" Ash exclaimed in worry.
Kevin smirked. "Let's finish this with one attack!" He exclaimed. "SHADOW BALL!" He commanded. "WE'LL USE SHADOW BALL TOO, ESPEON!" Ash commanded. Both Pokemon fired the Shadow Balls at the other, creating two huge explosions. When the dust settled, both Espeon and Gengar were unconscious.
"Both Espeon and Gengar are unable to battle!" Exclaimed the referee. "It's a draw!" "And this battle already starts off with a draw! Showing that both Pokemon are equally matched!" Said the announcer.
"Return..." Kevin and Ash exclaimed in unison as they returned their Pokemon to their Pokeballs. Without wasting a second, Ash and Kevin drew out their second Pokeballs.
"GYARADOS/LYCANROC! LET'S GET GOING/I CHOOSE YOU!" The two of the hurling their Pokeballs forward, releasing their Pokemon. Although most Gyarados are blue, Kevin's Gyarados was red, and golden sparkles surrounded its body when it exited the Pokeball.
Gyarados then glares angrily at Lycanroc, causing Lycanroc to become nervous. "Pull through Lycanroc!" Ash said. "Intimidate might lower your Attack, but your Ability raises it! Let's show Kevin how Tough your Claws are with Accelerock!" He commanded.
Lycanroc surrounds itself in a white aura and then slams itself into Gyarados at a high speed, sending it flying backwards. "Pull through Gyarados and use Hurricane!" Kevin commanded.
Gyarados' tail glows white and it swings its tail, releasing multiple white crescent-shaped energy blades from its tail at Lycanroc. When the energy blades hit it, Lycanroc explodes, causing a powerful wind to come out of it.
Ash gasped. "Oh no Lycanroc!" He cried out in worry for Lycanroc, who was trapped inside a large tornado. Suddenly, an idea came onto Ash's mind. He smirked. "Okay Lycanroc, let's take a page out of Serena's book!" He exclaimed. "Surround yourself with Stone Edge!" He commanded.
An orang aura surrounds Lycanroc's body. The orange aura then comes off Lycanroc's body and forms into two rings of orange pointed energy orbs that orbit around its body. The orange light then fades around the orbs and they form into multiple gray rocks. Lycanroc then shoots the rocks towards the ground, causing multiple jagged light blue spiked stones come out of the ground.
The spiky stones then surround the tornado, before breaking apart into dozens of boulders, which lose their light blue color, turning a dull gray. "Now Accelerock!" Ash commanded. Lycanroc then shot itself towards one of the broken boulders, and then began to hop from boulder to boulder, until escaping the the tornado.
"WHAT?!" Kevin exclaimed in shock. "And Ash once again surprises everyone by escaping Gyarados' powerful Hurricane!" Said the announcer. "That's something I didn't expect!"
"Now use Crunch!" Ash commanded. Lycanroc opens its mouth and creates a white aura shaped like a set of teeth. Lycanroc then begins to fall aiming towards Gyarados. "Use Crunch too!" Kevin commanded.
Gyarados' jaw becomes surrounded by the same white aura as Lycanroc. When Lycanroc bites down on Gyarados' tail, Gyarados bites down on Lycanroc's. "Both Pokemon went for Crunch!" Exclaimed the announcer. "The question is, who will let go first?"
"That'll be Lycanroc!" Kevin said. "ICE FANG!" He commanded. Gyarados' mouth glows light blue and four light blue aura claws form in front its mouth, with two under its head and two above. It then bites down on Lycanroc's and ice starts to form from its mouth and expands outwards around Lycanroc's tail.
Lycanroc then let go of Gyarados' tail, allowing Gyarados to Fling Lycanroc towards the ground. "LYCANROC!" Ash cried out in worry. "Now Aqua Tail!" Kevin commanded. Gyarados' tail becomes surrounded in a light blue aura, with water swirling around the tip, Gyarados then charges at Lycanroc, tail first.
"TAKE THE HIT! THEN USE COUNTER!" Ash commanded. Lycanroc did just that, allowing Gyarados' Aqua Tail to hit. Lycanroc then covers itself with a rainbow-colored aura. Lycanroc then tackled Gyarados in the tail, transferring all of the energy from the moves it got back at Gyarados, and sending it flying backwards with a rainbow-colored shockwave.
Gyarados was sent flying backwards, until it hit the ground unconscious. "Gyarados is unable to battle!" Exclaimed the referee. "Lycanroc wins!" "And as expected, Ash was able to turn around a Battle that seemed to be in his opponent's favor!" Said the announcer.
"Gyarados, return..." Kevin said before returning Gyarados to its Pokeball. Kevin then drew out his third Pokeball. "LUCARIO! LET'S GET GOING!" He exclaimed before hurling his Pokeball forward, releasing his Lucario.
"A Lucario..." Ash murmured. 'Lucario's a Fighting AND a Steel-type Pokemon, so Counter's my only effective move against it... but Lycanroc needs to get hit before using Counter, and that Aqua Tail did so much damage...'
Ash then took a glance at Serena, who was sitting with the audience. 'Serena's always supported me...' he thought. 'No matter where, when or how, I know I can count on her to be there for me... she always gives me strength... but I can't tell her right now... I know she'll help me win here, even without uttering a word! If, no... WHEN I win the Unova League, I'll tell her how I feel...'
Ash then turned his cap around so that the visor was facing his back. "Let's go for broke Lycanroc!" He said. "Use Accelerock!" He commanded. Lycanroc then began charged at Lucario, surrounded by a white aura. "Bone Rush!" Kevin commanded.
Lucario puts its paws together and spreads them apart, creating a light blue bone of energy. As soon as Lycanroc was really close to it, Lycanroc sung the energy bone, like a Baseball bat, at Lycanroc, sending it flying backwards, barely conscious.
"Now Counter let's go!" Ash commanded. While Lycanroc was still in midair, it became covered by rainbow-colored aura. Lycanroc then shot itself like a comet at Lucario. "Don't let it hit you!" Kevin warned. "Aura Sphere!" He commanded.
Lucario puts its hands together and creates a dark blue and gold ball of energy in between them. "DODGE IT!" Ash cried out. As soon as Lucario fired the ball of energy at Lycanroc, it dodged the sphere. Or so Ash thought, because the sphere then changed directions and hit Lycanroc anyways, creating a huge explosion.
"LYCANROC!" Ash cried out in worry. Lycanroc then crashed over to the ground, unconscious. "Lycanroc is unable to battle!" Exclaimed the referee. "Lucario wins!" "And with Lycanroc down, the victory ratio is now equal. With two victories for Ash and two for Kevin..." said the announcer.
"Lycanroc return..." Ash said before returning Lycanroc to its Pokeball. "You battled well, so take a good rest..." he whispered to the Pokeball before putting it in his belt. "You're up next..." Ash said ash he drew out his third Pokeball. "LEAVANNY! I CHOOSE YOU!" He exclaimed before hurling the Pokeball forward, releasing his Leavanny.
"A Bug-type...?" Kevin murmured. "Okay then... USE DRAGON PULSE!" He commanded. Lucario fired a multicolored dragon-shaped beam of energy from its mouth at Leavanny. "And Lucario starts the battle off with a bang!" Said the announcer.
"Use Leaf Blade!" Ash commanded. The leaves on Leavanny's arms become surrounded by a wavy light green aura. Leavanny then rushed towards Lucario's Dragon Pulse and sliced it in half with its leaves.
"WHAT?!" Kevin exclaimed again. "Ash's Leavanny was somehow able to slice Lucario's Dragon Pulse!" Exclaimed the announcer, just as shocked as Kevin. "I didn't even know that was possible!"
"Block Leavanny's attack with Bone Rush!" Kevin commanded. Lucario then created another blue bone of energy, which separated into two bones. Lucario and Leavanny then began to attack each other, as if they were having a sword duel.
The two of them then clashed into each other, struggling to get the upper hand. The two of them then threw themselves off of the other, sending them tumbling backwards.
"Use String Shot!" Ash commanded. Leavanny then fired a thick thread of purple silk at Lucario, wrapping the silk around Lucario's body and limiting its ability to move. "Now use Energy Ball!" Ash commanded again.
Leavanny opens its mouth and its antennae glow light green. They also become surrounded by light green sparkles. A light green orb of energy then forms in front of its mouth and Leavanny fires it at Lucario, using the String Shot as a trail to insure a hit.
"Alright Lucario, shake it off and use Meteor Mash!" Kevin commanded. A silhouette of a golden meteor appears around Lucario's hand. As Lucario charges at Leavanny, the silhouette becomes surrounded by a cyan and pink aura (which extends backwards forming the appearance of a comet), surrounded by multicolored stars with a golden outline, as Lucario punches Leavanny in the stomach, sending it flying backwards.
"Leavanny!" Ash cried out in worry for his Leavanny. "Aura Sphere!" Kevin commanded. Lucario then fires a blue and gold ball of energy at the injured Leavanny. "If we can't dodge it then use Leaf Blade to slice it in half!" Ash commanded.
Leavanny did just that and sliced the Aura Sphere in half. The leaves on Leavanny's arms glow light blue. It then puts its claws together in front of it and a light blue 'X' like energy with a magenta and green outline, appears in front of the leaves. It then spreads its leaves apart before crossing them back together as soon as it reached Lucario, slamming into it while its leaves are crossed.
"Meteor Mash!" "Energy Ball!" Ash and Kevin commanded in unison. Lucario then rushed over at Leavanny with Meteor Mash while Leavanny shot another Energy Ball at Lucario. Lucario however was able to utilize its situation and punched Leavanny's Energy Ball, destroying it.
Lucario then punched Leavanny in the stomach, allowing it to carry Leavanny with its fist towards the air, where Leavanny was flung upwards. "LEAVANNY!" Ash cried out in worry. "Now finish it off with Aura Sphere!" Kevin commanded.
Lucario then fired another blue and gold ball of aura at Leavanny, creating an explosion. Leavanny then drops to the ground, unconscious. "Leavanny is unable to battle!" Exclaimed the referee. "Lucario wins!"
"Return Leavanny..." Ash said as he returned Leavanny to its Pokeball. 'I gotta take that Lucario out as soon as possible!' Ash thought before drawing out his fourth Pokeball. "Talonflame! I choose you!" He exclaimed before hurling his Pokeball forward, releasing his Talonflame.
"And Ash decides to go by the book this time..." said the announcer. "Choosing a Pokemon with a clear type-advantage over Lucario!" "Okay then..." Kevin murmured. "Use Dragon Pulse!" He commanded.
Lucario fired a multi-colored, dragon-shaped beam of energy at Talonflame. "Oh no you don't!" Ash exclaimed. "Use Flame Charge!" He commanded. Talonflame's eyes began to lit up with fire before becoming surrounded by rings of fire. Talonflame's body then absorbs the rings and becomes outlined in red, orange and yellow flames. Talonflame then charges towards Lucario, gaining speed by the second.
Lucario's Dragon Pulse was completely countered by Talonflame's Flame Charge, the fiery envelop that surrounds Talonflame's body protecting it from the Dragon Pulse. Talonflame then slammed itself into Lucario at top speed, creating a huge explosion.
"Lucario!" Kevin cried out in worry for his Lucario. When the dust settled, Lucario was on the ground, unconscious. "Lucario is unable to battle!" Exclaimed the referee. "Talonflame wins!" "You did an awesome job Lucario..." Kevin said before returning Lucario to its Pokeball.
"So now it's an even match..." Kevin murmured as he drew out another Pokeball. "Not for long... GARCHOMP! LET'S GET GOING!" He exclaimed before hurling his Pokeball forward, releasing his Garchomp. "Alright! Use Brave Bird!" Ash commanded. "Dragon Rush!" Kevin counter-commanded.
Talonflame then flew at Garchomp, surrounded by a blue, pixelated aura while Garchomp rushed over at Talonflame, its body surrounded by a blue and purple, dragon-shaped aura.
