Hmm! That's cool!

Thanx, DC.

Chapter 3

Ash and Pikachu were at the pokemon center desk, followed by their friends, Brock, Misty, May, Max, Cassandra, her Gardevoir and Lao Ping.

“Has anyone seen Black Jack this morning?” Cassandra asked.

Everyone shook their heads sideways, indicating that they haven’t seen Black Jack since his first round battle against the loudmouth, Chris Jolteon. “Would’ve been great if he gets to see any one of Ash’s matches,” Misty said. “He would’ve been so impressed.”

They looked at the big screen as it showed Ash’s first opponent. It turned out to be a boy younger than Ash. He had brown hair, a white shirt, blue jeans and brown shoes. The trainer’s name was Wally.

“Wally,” Ash said. “Never heard of him.”
“I’ve heard that he is a gutsy trainer,” Brock said. “I have a feeling that he’ll be just as determined as you, Ash.”
“Haha! Who wouldn’t be?”

Suddenly, a voice was heard from the nearby speaker. “Would Ash Ketchum and Wally walk over to the stadium please?”

“That’s us, Pikachu!” Ash cried excitedly.
“Pika!” Pikachu cried.

They all made their way to the stadium. Ash proved to the security guards that he was there to compete and was told to take a different entrance to the stadium while the others entered at the main entrance. While Ash was getting ready, the others were surprised to see Black Jack already seated as a spectator. They all sat close to him.

“Black Jack?” Lao Ping said. “When did you get here?”
“Early,” Black Jack replied. “I just hate long cues.”
“This guy’s really weird,” May whispered to Misty.
“I second that,” Misty replied.
“He’s got good ears too,” Black Jack warned.
“C’mon you guys,” Cassandra said. “Black Jack’s not all that bad.”
“Gard,” Gardevoir replied.
“Thanks, kids,” Black Jack said.

“Ladies and Gentlemen!” the announcer cried. “We are about moments away from another great pokemon match! Are you ready!?”
“YEAH!” the crowd yelled, everyone except Black Jack.
“I can’t hear you!”
The crowd yelled even louder.

“Okay! First up, from Pallet Town, he is one of the top sixteen top trainers in the Kanto Region League, the Orange League champion, the Johto League semi-finalist, and now he is hoping to become Hoenn League champion and the next pokemon master… ASH KETCHUM!”

As the crowd gave a deafening cheer, Ash nervously walked to his respective part of the field, trying to keep his focus on his upcoming match, along with Pikachu riding on his shoulder. When he reached his part of the field, he let out a small sigh of relief.

“Strange,” Black Jack said. “For a great trainer, he’s very nervous.”
“Don’t worry about that,” Misty said. “When he battles, he’s like an button. Once he starts battling, there’s no way that he’ll back down from anything.”
“I must admit… looks can be deceiving.”

As Ash waited patiently, the announcer announced his first opponent. “And his opponent, from Petalburg city, he is known as the ‘rookie of the millennium’, for the first time ever, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… WALLY!”

As the crowd cheered, a ten-year-old boy was nervously walking down to his respective part of the field. He had green hair and was wearing a white-buttoned shirt, brown jeans and black shoes. “He must be Wally,” Ash thought.

“He’s from Petalburg city?” May said. “That’s where we live Max!”
“I know,” Max said. “I noticed that he was with this guy when they were going into a forest while you were out getting your first pokemon.”
“Oh.”

Black Jack intently looked at both trainers. “Wally must be either strong or lucky getting into this league,” he thought theoretically. “Either way, Ash will beat him easily, thanks to his experience, titles and innovations.”

“The computer will now select which trainer will release his pokemon first,” cried the announcer. The computer began circulating and randomly selected Ash to be the first trainer to pick his pokemon first.

“Sorry, Pikachu,” Ash said as he took out a pokeball off his belt. “I choose you! Sceptile!”

He tossed out his pokeball and Sceptile came out of it. He landed on his feet and placed a small twig in his mouth.

“Okay…” Wally said nervously said as he took out his pokeball and tossed it. A Gardevoir popped out of it.

“Huh!” Black Jack said in a slightly surprised way. “I never thought that a rookie trainer could find a pokemon like that, let alone catch one.”
“Hey!” Cassandra said. “It’s the same species as you, Gardevoir.”

She and her friends turned to her Gardevoir’s direction and noticed that there were sparkles in her eyes. “Uh-oh,” Black Jack teased, noticing that Gardevoir had fallen in love with Wally’s Gardevoir. “We’re losing her.”
“I just hope that she doesn’t act up like Brock does,” Misty said.

“Cassandra’s got a Gardevoir,” Ash thought to himself. “I know stuff about her but I don’t know much about this one, so I have to be careful.”

“Sceptile!” he yelled. “Slam attack!”

Sceptile leapt into the air and aimed his attack on Gardevoir.

“Um… Gardevoir! Psychic attack!” Wally yelled.

As Black Jack looked on, he knew that when a trainer attacks physically he shouldn’t attack head on; he must trick his opponent first.

Wally’s Gardevoir shot out a Psychic blast but missed as Sceptile dodged out of the way and spun his tail to whack Gardevoir across the face. It staggered backwards, trying to regain balance. Cassandra’s Gardevoir was in shock.

Gardevoir tried to regain his senses while Sceptile attempted another Slam attack.

“Gardevoir!” Wally yelled. “We can’t get hit with the same attack twice! Dodge it!”

Gardevoir barely dodged out harm’s way as Sceptile slammed his tail on floor, created a big dent in it. “Way to go!” Wally said. “Now Shadow Ball!”

Gardevoir charged up its powers. “Stand your ground, Sceptile!” Ash instructed. “Don’t move until I say so!”

Gardevoir finished charging up its powers and shot a large black energy ball at him. “Now, Sceptile!” Ash yelled. Sceptile did as he was told and dodged underneath the fireball as he ran towards his opponent.

“Now we got him!” Ash yelled. “Slam attack!”

Sceptile leapt into the air and aimed his tail again towards. His attack was coming quite close to giving it more damage. When suddenly, a black energy ball came zooming in on Sceptile, causing an explosion upon impact. This move has shocked everyone in the entire stadium, including Black Jack himself.

“How did that happen?” Ash said in astonishment as Sceptile fell hard on the floor.

“It looks like that I’ve underestimated the rookie… or more technically the pokemon,” Black Jack said. “Gardevoir must’ve unnoticeably used his psychic ability to control his attack.”
“You noticed that it was a male?” Cassandra asked. “How do you know?”
“Instincts,” Black Jack replied as he looked at Cassandra’s Gardevoir who was clapping with joy, supporting Wally’s Gardevoir.

“I can’t believe it…” Wally said as he sweated heavily. “I never thought that I could win this until Gardevoir taught me a little something. I owe him something.”

He shook his head, trying to get back to his strategy. “Okay…” he continued. “Ash’s Sceptile has been weakened and lying on the floor. And Ash is in panic mode. All I got to do now is attack with Shadow Ball and I would actually beat him!”

“I’m gonna win!!” he yelled excitedly. “Gardevoir! Shadow Ball attack!”

Seeing that there’s no reason to charge up his attack, his Gardevoir shot out a smaller sized Shadow Ball at Sceptile. But suddenly, the wood gecko pokemon glowed vigorously green much to everyone’s surprise, except Ash.

“Sceptile!” Ash yelled. “Knock that Shadow Ball away!”

Sceptile immediately stood up and whacked the attack away with his tail, sending back to Gardevoir! The energy ball was a lot bigger and faster than it was before when Gardevoir shot it out.

Gardevoir was hit by the attack and was knocked down before Wally could react. He was deeply shocked. “What’s going on?” he cried in a confused tone. “How can you attack back when your Sceptile was weakened?”

“Cos he has a special ability called Overgrow,” Ash replied. “If Sceptile is at a losing end, he’ll gain more attack strength.”

Wally looked down on his weakened Gardevoir in a defeated look. “It’s over… I surrender, Ash!” he said.
“Wally surrenders the match!” the referee cried. “Ash Ketchum wins!”
“Wha…” Ash said. “Giving up just like that?”

Gardevoir looked back at Wally with great shock. “I’m sorry, Gardevoir. I don’t want you to get hurt anymore,” Wally said as he looked down in shame. “Plus, I’m not ready for leagues like this.”

Ash walked over to him and placed his hand on his shoulder. “Don’t feel sad, Wally,” he said. “That attack you’ve pulled really had us shocked, and I can tell that you’re a great trainer.”

“Really?” Wally said happily. “You mean that?”
“Sure I do.”

They both shook hands. Every spectator stood and gave out a standing ovation, apart from Black Jack who remained seated and gave some applause.

Gardevoir walked over to Sceptile, who was still glowing, and wanted to shake his paw. Sceptile was about to accept his hand of friendship when suddenly he stopped glowing and fell on the floor holding his injured arm.

Ash turned round to see what’s going on and saw Sceptile on the floor and in pain. He quickly took out his pokeball and got him to return. Wally did the same and they both immediately ran out of the stadium, much to everyone’s worry.

“Well done, Ketchum,” Black Jack thought proudly as he and his acquaintances got off their seats and made their out.

A few hours later, Ash and his friends, apart from Black Jack, were at the pokemon center, where Ash was waiting to get his Sceptile healed. His new friend, Wally was waiting to get his Gardevoir healed. They were waiting outside the operating room.

Cassandra’s Gardevoir had a worried look on her face. Her trainer couldn’t help but notice. “You like Wally’s Gardevoir, don’t you?” she teased.

Her Gardevoir quickly shook her head sideways as she blushed a bright pink. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone if you don’t.”

Gardevoir let out a small sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Ash couldn’t help but worry about Sceptile, remembering that blast Sceptile took was purely damaging. Suddenly, there was a ‘ding’ sound, signalling that the operation was over.

As Nurse Joy came out, Brock quickly zoomed over to her and gently grasped her hands. “Oh, Nurse Joy,” Brock said dreamily. “I’m suffering from a broken heart and you are only person that can fix it for me.”

Brock suddenly felt Misty’s hand tugging his ear and whimpered in pain. “You’re going to be suffering a cracked skull if you carry on like that,” she growled.

Ash and Wally quickly walked over to her, followed by their friends. “Nurse Joy,” Ash said desperately. “How is Sceptile?”
“And Gardevoir?” Wally asked.
“Gardevoir is fine and you can pick him up tomorrow. But Sceptile is in pretty bad shape and would need a long rest.”
“No way!” Ash cried.
“Yes. He has been suffering a lot of damage because of his continuous battling before the tournament. I can tell that he’s never 100% healed after recovery.”

Ash remembered the fact that Sceptile enjoyed battling a lot, but he never wanted Sceptile to be reckless in battle. “Perhaps, I was being reckless when I battle with him,” he said in a down tone as he looked down in shame. “I’m the one to blame.”
“Don’t put it on all on yourself, Ash,” Brock said. “We all make mistakes sometimes.”
“I didn’t make a mistake, Brock. I made a bad choice.”

He looked up at Nurse Joy. “Can I see him?” he asked.
“Of course, you can,” she replied.

Ash and the others entered the room where Sceptile and Wally’s Gardevoir were recovering. Ash walked over to the bed where Sceptile was lying on where while Wally walked over to his Gardevoir.

It didn’t take for Sceptile to slowly open his eyes. “Scept…”
“Sceptile,” Ash whispered. “I’m glad you’re okay.”
“Er, Ash,” Wally said. “If Nurse Joy said that Sceptile wouldn’t be able to fully recover for the next couple days during the tournament, who’s gonna take over?”

Sceptile’s eyes widened with shock. He struggled to get from his bed but he felt the aching pains in his body. “Sceptile! Calm down!” Ash said. “Just listen to me!”

Sceptile did as he was told as he tried to lie comfortably on his bed. “Sceptile,” Ash started. “I know how much you love battling. But I can’t risk your health just to win this competition, cos if I do, chances are you won’t be able to battle again. Besides, you have got to rest sometime.”

Sceptile agreed that he’d relax until he was free to battle again. “They were some strong but smooth things to say, Ash,” Brock said.
“I know,” Ash said. “But who can I think of to take over Sceptile?”

Suddenly, a loud roar was heard from outside, a roar that was familiar to Ash, Brock and Misty. “It’s Charizard!” Ash said happily, as Charizard was flying outside the window. Ash opened the window to let Charizard in and they both gave each other a great big hug. “Are you here to battle with me?” Ash asked. Charizard gave a positive growl and nodded, much to Sceptile’s disgust.

“Hey everyone,” Ash said. “Meet my old buddy, Charizard.”

Charizard let out a small growl. Everyone introduced themselves to him, except Sceptile and Wally’s Gardevoir. “Er… Ash,” May said. “If you’re allowed six pokemon on you, how are you going to get Charizard on your team.”
“Simple,” Ash said. “I’ll ask Prof. Oak to take care of Sceptile for a while and Charizard will be easy to carry. Is that okay, Sceptile?”
“Scept…” Sceptile replied tonelessly.
“Sceptile…” Ash said in a concerned tone.

Nurse Joy walked into the operating room and was shocked to see a Charizard in the operating room. “What is a Charizard doing here?” she cried.
“Nurse Joy,” Ash said. “Does Sceptile need any more medical attention?”
“No. But he needs a long rest.”
“Will it be okay if I sent it to Prof. Oak to rest?”
“You know him?”
“Yeah. Not only that he researches on pokemon, he’s good when it comes to medical stuff.”
“Well, I’ve never been in this situation. But since Prof. Oak knows a thing or two about medicine then it’ll be fine with me.”
“Thanks, Nurse Joy.”

While they were talking, Cassandra’s Gardevoir couldn’t stop staring dreamily at Wally’s Gardevoir while he was asleep.

Outside the Hoenn League village, Black Jack was lying by a tree with a straw in his mouth. He was reflecting on what has happened over the past few months after he left Team Rocket. First, he became Blaziken’s new trainer after his old trainer passed away. Then he helped Cassandra save the children of Rustboro’s Pokemon School. Then he noticed that someone or something was calling for him while he was battling Mewtwo.

He always saw himself as a tough and merciless SOB, but for some reason he always helped others in need. While he thought about it, his Nidoking came into his view. “Finished your dinner already?” Black Jack asked.
Nidoking nodded.
“Nidoking,” Black Jack continued. “Do you think that I have gone soft?”
“Nid?” Nidoking asked. Which meant, “huh?”
“Ah, forget it,” Black Jack replied, realising that Nidoking wouldn’t understand.

Thanx, DC. I just hope everyone else agrees, even if they don't review. But this chapter will knock you off your feet... you'll see what I mean.

Chapter 4

The next day, Black Jack was getting ready for his second round of the tournament. He walked out on the battlefield and waited for his opponent while the announcer introduced Black Jack to the audience. His opponent came out wearing sport and street clothing. He had a radio in one hand and a microphone in the other as he spoke in rhymes, introducing himself. In other words, he was rapping.

“Yo!”
“So you is the famous Black Jack!”
“I is also famous!”
“I is known as the famous Mr. Mack!”
“Now dat I is in the Hoenn League Championship!”
“I’ll go on the attack!”
“And making you go ‘what dat!’”​

“Sad…” Black Jack whispered as he gave Mr. Mack a bored look.

“In the second rounds,” cried the announcer. “Only two pokemon can be used by each trainer! Are you two ready?”
“Yeah! I’m ready, fools!” Mr. Mack yelled.
“Ready to be smashed you mean,” Black Jack replied confidently.
“Well then… LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!”

The huge screen chose Mr. Mack to choose his pokemon first.

“Before we start, fools,” Mr. Mack said. “How about it if I play a little music!”

He placed his radio next to him and played a tape, which played rapping songs.

Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, May, Max, Wally, Cassandra, her Gardevior and Lao Ping sat as part of the audience, watching the match. “Why would he want to play some music?” Ash thought. He then gasped as he remembered. “Wait! I’ve seen that strategy before!” I remember now! It was a couple of years ago while I had a pokemon battle against Rudy back in the Orange Islands!”

“Now I choose Hitmonlee, fools!” Mr. Mack yelled as he threw the pokeball. Hitmonlee popped out of his pokeball and kept on jumping in a single spot while preparing himself for battle.

“Hmph! Metagross!” Black Jack yelled. “I choose you!”

Metagross popped out of his pokeball, getting ready for battle.

“Huh? What’s that?” Ash asked as he checked on a small gadget called a pokedex, which can describe any pokemon.

“Metagross, an Iron Leg pokemon,” the pokedex described. “It has four brains in total. Combined, the four brains can breeze through difficult calculations faster than a supercomputer. This pokemon can float in the air by tucking in its four legs.”
“Hmm,” Ash murmered. “Let’s see what it can do.”

“Metagross!” Black Jack commanded. “Psybeam attack!”

Metagross aimed and shot out two powerful psybeams out his eyes. But Hitmonlee dodged them as he leapt into the air while doing a leg split. As he landed on his feet, he started dancing again.

“Never seen that before, but it’s obvious the reason why he’s dancing.” Black Jack thought as he spotted a radio next to Mr. Mack. “That must be he’s strategy.”

Black Jack took out his pokeball. “Metagross! Return!”

“It looks like he’s got some other plan in mind,” Ash thought.

“Blaziken! Go for it!” Black Jack cried as he tossed another pokeball.

Blaziken popped out of his pokeball. “Blazi…”

Lao Ping nearly got off his seat as he saw his friend on the battlefield. “Blaziken…” he said to himself.

Blaziken stood poised for battle and noticed that Hitmonlee was dancing, meaning that he must be very careful.

“That punk kid’s waiting for me to attack,” Black Jack thought. “But as soon as I do, he might be able to counter it.”

Blaziken’s eyes narrowed, trying to predict what Mr. Mack and his Hitmonlee were planning.

“You’re keeping us waiting, fools!” Mr. Mack shouted.
Black Jack and Blaziken realised Mr. Mack’s weakness. “Well, if you hate waiting,” he replied. “Why don’t you attack first?”
“Hitmonlee! Rolling Kick now!”

Hitmonlee ran forward. Blaziken stood poised, ready to counter. But to his surprise, Hitmonle flipped forward to do a handstand while both his feet grabbed Blaziken’s head.

Hitmolee flipped his body backwards while his feet held Blaziken’s head and dragged it, flipping Blaziken over, and landing on his back. Both pokemon quickly picked themselves up with Blaziken being momentarily hurt as he held his back.

“I meant seismic toss, fool!” Mr. Mack taunted. “Hehe!”

“That punk!” Black Jack thought. “He tricked us!”

“That’s what you get when you face Mr. Mack!” Mr. Mack said. “Don’t forget, He has seen you battle against Chris Jolteon and he knows you’re strategy, sucka!”
“Battles are more than just strategies, weirdo.”
“Yeah! It’s about brawn as well! But judging by your Blaziken, I’d say that he has neither!”

Black Jack’s eyes narrowed. “Brains and brawn, eh?” he thought. “He won’t know what’ll hit him…”

Blaziken looked at both Hitmonlee and his trainer. He motioned Hitmonlee to come and fight him. “I agree!” Mr. Mack shouted as he saw that. “Let’s get back to kicking their butts, Hitmonlee! Jump Kick attack!”

Hitmonlee kept on doing the cartwheels towards Blaziken. Blaziken stepped back a few steps until Hitmonlee leapt into the air.

“He’s gonna come down real fast,” Black Jack warned. “Get ready to dodge!”

Hitmonlee performed a dive kick at Blaziken, who dodged out of the way. “Big mistake!” Mr. Mack taunted. “Mega kick!”

Hitmonlee switched his jump kick attack to a Mega kick attack where he attacked Blaziken’s head with a spin kick. But to Hitmonlee’s surprise, the attack was blocked. “Blaziken!” Black Jack yelled as he saw the attack coming. “Counter attack!”

His fist of the other arm burned an angry red fire as he gave Hitmonlee a hefty punch to the gut. Hitmonlee was sent flying to the end of the field until he fell to the ground.

It took a few seconds for Hitmonlee to slowly pick himself up, who was in immense pain as he held his gut.

“Now do you see why you shouldn’t playing around with other people, let alone me?” Black Jack asked. “This is what you get for annoying us!”

Mr. Mack had a cold sweat on his head, not knowing what to do next. “Don’t feel like dancing now huh?” Black Jack taunted. “Now Blaziken! Blaze Kick attack!”

Blaziken ran like a speeding bullet and aimed his blaze kick attack at Hitmonlee’s gut. “Block that attack, Hitmonlee!” Mr. Mack ordered.

Hitmonlee held one of his hands out, ready to defend while the other held his injured body part. But Blaziken tricked Hitmonlee by jumping on his defensive hand and then both of his feet smashed and bounced off Hitmonlee’s face. Blaziken somersaulted backwards and landed on his feet while the back of the head of Hitmonlee hit the ground hard, knocking him out. “It looks like we’re even,” Black Jack said.

Hitmonlee was no longer able to battle. With frustration in his eyes, Mr. Mack called him back. “Golduck!” he shouted. “Go smash that Blaziken to bits!”

Golduck pooped out of his pokeball. He does his little dance routine because of the music that Mr. Mack’s radio was playing while Blaziken responded by folding his arms and tapping his foot, waiting for Golduck to make his move.

“Golduck!” Mr Mack cried. “Ice Punch attack!”

Golduck began moving towards Blaziken while doing flips and somersaults, trying to confuse him. Black Jack focused on Golduck’s movements, so did Blaziken.

Golduck leapt into the air. “It’s coming from above!” Black Jack warned.
“Blaze!” Blaziken replied.

Golduck went to land his icy fist on Blaziken’s face. Blaziken went to counter the attack with his fire punch attack. Both punches collided; only Goldick’s ice shattered to pieces and his fist took damage at the same time. Golduck landed on his back, holding his injured paw.

As Golduck picked himself up, Blaziken got himself ready to attack again. “Blaziken!” Black Jack yelled. “Comet Punch attack and Rolling Kick!”

Neither Mr. Mack nor Golduck could react when Blaziken leapt forward and performed a series of punches and kicks on different parts of Golduck’s entire body.

“Fury attack and Sky uppercut!” Black Jack ordered. Blaziken continued his attack when he formed his hands into a type of a bird pokemon as he kept on poking viciously at Golduck’s chest, ending the attack when he sent Golduck into the air with an uppercut. Golduck fell hard to the floor.

Having enough of seeing his Golduck getting beaten up by Blaziken, he decided to use his elemental advantages against him. “Golduck!” he cried. “Water gun attack!”

Golduck immediately got up, leapt backwards, breathed in and let out a huge foam of water out of his mouth.

“Blaziken!” Black Jack ordered. “Counter it with your Sky Uppercut and Fire Spin!”

Blaziken’s paw burned an angry red fire. He let out a huge uppercut into the air and a huge fiery whirlwind came from the ground because of his momentum to counter and evaporate Golduck’s attack. Not only that the air was hot, but there were also strong and heavy winds around everyone in the arena, threatening to drag the audience members off their seats.

Everyone held on to their seats, trying not to get sucked into the fiery whirlwind. Some of them covered their eyes so that dusts wouldn’t get into their eyes. Misty lost her grip of her seat and was being sucked in. “Misty!” Ash cried as he grabbed hold of Misty’s hand while he held on to his.

The only person and pokemon was standing confidently was Black Jack and his Blaziken.

The one that was mostly in danger was Golduck as he looked at the whirlwind with fear and took a few steps back while it was coming closer and closer. Mr. Mack was too distracted by the whirlwind’s force, trying to not get sucked in. There was nothing they could do.

Golduck tried to run away but was caught by the whirlwind. The force around him made him spun around and around. Not only that, he was also receiving damage by the heat of the fire.

It took some time for the attack to end. As the whirlwind slowly disappeared everyone looked back on the battlefield. It turned out that Golduck was lying on the floor, unconscious. Mr. Mack and his Golduck lost the battle, and Black Jack and his Blaziken won.

“No! No! No! No! No! NO! NO! NO!” Mr. Mack cried as he fell to his knees. He then got out his pokeball. “Golduck, get back in here…”

Everyone stood up and cheered after seeing an amazing victory that Black Jack and Blaziken pulled. The one that was the most enthusiastic was Lao Ping. “Blaziken! You did it!” he cried.

Black Jack walked close to the spot where Blaziken was standing. Blaziken turned to see his current trainer. “Old man Wong must be very proud of you,” Black Jack said in a caring tone.
“Blaze…” Blaziken replied as he looked up to the skies while a small teardrop ran down his face.

Chapter 5

The next day after Black Jack defeated Mr. Mack in the second round of the Hoenn League, Ash and Pikachu decided to take a walk around the Hoenn League village a few hours before his second round match. Ash held up his pokeball that contained Charizard.

“I’m glad Charizard came back for me,” Ash said. “He must’ve heard that I was participating in the league, so he flew all the way from Charizard Valley to get here.”
“Pika,” Pikachu replied happily, saying that he missed Charizard as well.

A few years back, Ash and his friends visited Charizard Valley where a trainer was training a vast number of Charizards. Ash’s Charizard wanted to train there so much. Knowing that Charizard’s dream was to become the strongest there is, Ash left him there… even though it pained him so much in his heart.

Back at the present, Ash then had a down look on his face. “But what about Sceptile?” he said.
“Pika pika?” Pikachu asked.
“Sceptile also likes to battle a lot… I don’t know if he’ll ever forgive me after what I did.”

Ash remembered that Sceptile was badly hurt after taking a Shadow Ball attack by Wally’s Gardevior during their his first round of the League. Ash had a difficult time choosing which one of his pokemon to replace Sceptile until he was fully recovered. That’s when Charizard returned to help Ash out.

Pikachu leapt onto Ash’s shoulder and patted him on the head. “Pikapi! Pikachu!” Pikachu said, comforting his trainer.
“Thanks, Pikachu,” Ash said.

“How is your training, Ketchum?” a familiar voice asked.

Ash turned to the voice’s direction and it turned out to be Black Jack calling him. “Hey, Black Jack,” Ash said. “I didn’t get the chance to talk to you since walked out of the stadium after you won that match yesterday.”
“What about it?”
“That Sky Uppercut and Fire Spin combo had literally got me off the edge of my seat.”
“Thanks. By the way, how’s Sceptile?”
“Not so good. He has to rest for the rest of the tournament unless he’s fully recovered.”
“So, who’s taking over?”

Ash showed Black Jack the pokeball that contained Charizard. “My Charizard,” he answered.
“Nice choice,” Black jack replied. “Just make sure the rest of your pokemon don’t need any more medical attention.”

Ash smiled at that remark. “Do you know who you’re next opponent is?” Black Jack asked.
“Yeah,” Ash replied. “His name is Brendan Birch. We’ve met at the pokemon center and we wished each other good luck.”
“Hmm… well, I better go in case there would be a long cue at the stadium. See ya.”
“Bye, Black Jack.”
“Good luck.”

Black Jack walked away from Ash as Ash got himself ready for his upcoming battle. As Black Jack walked, he said, “You’ll probably won’t be needing it in the second round but still… a little luck doesn’t hurt anybody.”

A few hours later, the whole stadium was packed with spectators who were looking forward to the next match. Wally was among the group, along with Black Jack and others. Ash was once again introduced to the crowd as he made his entrance. The spectators gave some deafening cheers for him.

Ash waited for his opponent as he walked to his respective part of the battlefield. The announcer then introduced Brendan Birch. He came out wearing a black and red jacket, black jeans and red and white trainers. He has a bandanna with a picture of a red pokeball on it. He also had white hair and a confident look in his eyes.

“He’s the guy who helped me catch Gardevior, when it was a Ralts,” Wally said.
“Did you guys travel together?”
“Yeah, we did. Brendan knows a lot about pokemon, but being a cheeky guy he likes to play tricks on me sometimes, in and outside of pokemon battles.”
“Tricksters tick me off,” Black Jack snarled.

“It’s a good thing Wally told me some stuff about him,” Ash thought to himself. “I know Brendan likes to play tricks so I better beware.”

Brendan gave a cheeky smile with confidence. “Ash may be good, but he has no idea what I have planned.”

The two trainers were reminded that trainers that it was a two-on-two match but one pokemon must be used at a time.

“Gentlemen,” the referee said as the computer circulated to select which one of the two trainers would send out their pokemon first. “Are you ready?”
“Yeah! I’m ready!” Ash yelled.
“Course I am! You had to ask?” Brendan said.

The computer chose Ash to be the first to pick his pokemon. “Alright then!” Ash shouted as he took out his pokeball. “I choose you! Swellow!”

His Swellow came out of his pokeball and landed safely on the ground, ready for his opponent to come out.

“Hehe!” Brendan sniggered as he took out one of his pokeballs off his belt. “Go! Camerupt!”

He tossed out his pokeball and a Camerupt came out of it, ready for battle.

“Go! Camerupt! Flamethrower!” Brendan commanded.
“Swellow!” Ash yelled. “Fly high in the sky now!”

Camerupt shot out his flamethrower attack but missed as Swellow flew high in the sky. “Looks like Swellow has an advantage over you, Brendan!” Ash said.
“Don’t be too sure!” Brendan replied. “Camerupt! Eruption!”

Camerupt yelled out his battle cry as huge fireballs shot out of the small volcanoes of his back. Swellow barely dodged each one of them. “Good job, Swellow!” Ash said. “Now! Aerial Ace!”

Swellow flew directly at Camerupt and struck his face with its wing. Camerupt staggered backwards but regained his senses. “Hang in there, Camerupt!” Brendan yelled. “Now, while it’s flying back, use Eruption again!”

Camerupt let out another bunch of huge fireballs out of the volcanoes. “Swellow!” Ash yelled. “Behind you!”

Swellow looked at the incoming fireballs and dodged them, suddenly a huge flamethrower came and it scorched Swellow’s wing. “No!” Ash yelled. “What happened!?”

“Brendan and his Camerupt got Swellow and Ash distracted when Camerupt was shooting out his Eruption attack, followed by his flamethrower,” Lao Ping said as he was observing the match. “Another distraction or mistake like that and it could be all over.”
“Inexperience is one Ash’s weaknesses,” Black Jack thought deeply. “Brendan’s younger than Ash and is also inexperience but he is more knowledgeable about pokemon since his dad is a pokemon researcher and that he might’ve some clever strategies to trick Ash… but I have a strong instinct that Ash will win this match but not because of having more experience than Brendan.”

Swellow fell hard on the floor. “We got it now, Camerupt!” Brendan yelled. “Body Slam Attack now!”

Camerupt leapt into the air as Swellow struggled to get to his feet. “Swellow! Get out of the way!” Ash cried.

Swellow looked at the incoming Body Slam and instantly rolled out of the way, barely dodging the attack.

“Phew!” May said as she began to sweat. “I almost had a heart attack there.”
“I forgot to breathe myself,” Max said. “And I’m only watching the match.”

“Swellow return!” Ash yelled as he held out his pokeball. The injured Swellow was zapped back into its pokeball.

“Ash has called back Swellow and may use it again as a reserve,” the referee announced. “Ash, choose your second pokemon.”

Ash smiled confidently as he chose his second pokeball. “Go! Charizard!” Ash yelled as he tossed it out.

Charizard materialised out of the pokeball and let out a loud roar.

Black Jack sensed the fire, passion and rage within Charizard. “Hmm. I can tell that Ash has trained him very well,” he thought. “Brendan can try to knock him out but there’s nothing he can do here.”

“A fire type versus fire type,” Brendan said. “Even though you reserved you’re injured Swellow, you shouldn’t make too challenging for yourself, since you’re on your second pokemon!”
“Don’t worry about me, Brendan,” Ash replied. “Just worry about your Camerupt and your second pokemon.”
“I won’t need to,” Brendan thought to himself. “You’ll see why.”

“Charizard!” Ash yelled as he pointed at Camerupt. “Headbutt attack!”
“Camerupt!” Brendan shouted. “Flamethrower attack!”

Camerupt shot out his flamethrower attack but Charizard confidently dodged the attack as he flew towards him. As Ash expected, Charizard headbutted his opponent in the face.

“Way to go, Charizard!” Ash yelled. “Now Mega Punch attack!”

Charizard did as he was instructed and gave a hefty punch to the side of Camerupt’s face sending him flying. “Camerupt! No!” Brendan yelled worringly.

“Now! Body Slam attack!” Ash commanded. Charizard leapt into the air and grabbed Camerupt by the neck and slammed his face on the ground, knocking him out.

Realising this, the ref raised a coloured flag. “Camerupt is no longer able to battle, Charizard wins this round and Brendan is now on his last pokemon.”

“Way to go, Charizard!” Ash yelled happily as Charizard roared triumphantly.
“Don’t get too excited,” Brendan replied as he called back his pokemon. He picked out his second pokemon. “Go Swarmpert!”

A large blue mudfish pokemon came out of his pokeball and yelled out his battle cry. “Hmm,” Ash murmured as he checked his pokedex.

“Swarmpert, the mud fish pokemon,” his pokedex stated. “Swarmpert predicts storms by sensing subtle differences in the sounds of waves and tidal waves with its fins. If a storm is approaching, it piles up boulders to protect itself.”

“I can tell it’s a water type,” Ash thought to himself. “Still, I can’t withdraw Charizard to get Swellow out, cos it’ll get him even more hurt.”

“Why isn’t Ash withdrawing his Charizard?” Max asked. ”I hope he realises that fire types are weaker than water types.”
“He does,” Misty replied. “You saw how injured Swellow was… and knowing Ash, he doesn’t know how to quit.”
“Brendan is being less brave than Ash is,” Black Jack thought. “Water types have an advantage against fire types, not that it matters since Charizard will win in the end.”

“Go for it, Charizard!” Ash yelled. “Fly attack!”
“Swarmpert!” Brendan yelled. “Water gun!”

Swampert shot out a large spray of water out of his mouth. Charizard flew high in the air before Swarmpert’s attack reached him.

“Charizard! Attack Swarmpert with your Mega Punch!” Ash yelled.

Charizard dived down at Swarmpert and aimed his punch at him. “Swarmpert!” Brendan yelled. “Water gun again!”

Swarmpert sprayed another water attack at Charizard but missed as Charizard quickly dodged out of the way. Charizard went to give Swarmpert a punch to the face but Swarmpert grabbed it.

“Use your other paw, Charizard!” Ash yelled.
“Swarmpert! Grab it!” Brendan yelled.

Charizard used his other paw to punch but Swarmpert grabbed that as well. “Charizard! Try to break out of that hold!” Ash yelled.
“Swarmpert! Seismic Toss!” Brendan ordered.

Both pokemon were struggling in their test of strength to gain an upper advantage until…

“Swarmpert! Use water gun!” Brendan yelled.
“What!” Ash yelled in shock.

Swarmpert spat some water out of his mouth and it landed in Charizard’s eyes, making him lose concentration. Swarmpert used the advantage to grab Charizard round the middle and leapt into the sky.

“We got him now,” Brendan thought.

“This is the part of your loss, Brendan,” Black Jack thought as he observed Swarmpert attempting to slam Charizard.

“Charizard!” Ash yelled. “Flip Swarmpert over to counter!”
“Say what!?” Brendan yelled in shock.

Charizard turned Swarmpert around in mid-air and Swarmpert fell hard on his back, letting go of Charizard.

Charizard became free as he flew high in the sky. “Charizard! Finish it off with Flamethrower!”
“No way!” Brendan said still in shock as Swarmpert to get up. “Swarmpert move out of the way!”

Charizard shot out a huge and powerful lick of flame, Swarmpert wasn’t able to move out of the way because of how much damage he took thanks to Charizard’s counter.

After catching the flamethrower attack, Swarmpert became dizzy and was covered with burnt marks. Swarmpert fell to the floor once again but this time he was knocked out. “Swarmpert! No!” Brendan cried as he ran over to him.

“Swarmpert is no longer able to battle,” the referee cried. “Charizard wins the round and Ash Ketchum wins the battle!”

“We did it!” Ash cried.
“Pikachu!” Pikachu squealed happily.
Charizard roared loudly in triumph.

The crowd went wild as the stood up and gave a deafening cheer. “As I suspected,” Black Jack thought, as he remained seated while clapping his hands.

Ash walked over to Brendan. “Great match,” Ash said.
“It really was,” Brendan replied as he smiled while calling back his Swarmpert.

Ash offered his hand of friendship and sportsmanship to Brendan and he proudly accepted it. “I thought that water pokemon can take fire attacks,” Brendan said. “I guess life is full of surprises.”
“You certainly surprised me a couple of times,” Ash replied. “If you can come up with tricks as good as that, you’ll do well.”
“Thanks, Ash.”

Black Jack was the first person to leave the stadium as usual. Cassandra couldn’t help but wonder why he was always the first person to leave…

A few hours later, Wally had a backpack over his shoulder was about to leave. But first he had a visit from Ash and friends, including Black Jack. “Leaving so soon?” Ash asked.
“Yeah,” Wally replied. “Sorry I can’t stay for the rest of the league but I had a call from my parents asking me for my help back home in Petalburg city.”
“Say hi to my mom and dad for me and Max,” May said.
“Aren’t you gonna wait until the officials give you a badge for participating?” Brock asked.
“Nah… I think I’ll leave it,” Wally replied.
“Suppose I can help you out,” Cassandra said as her Gardevior walked beside her.
“Gard, Gard Gardevior,” Gardevior said while blushing.
“I think Gardevior wants to talk to yours,” Balck Jack said.
“Er… okay,” Wally replied as he let his Gardevior out of his pokeball.

Cassandra’s Gardevior walked over to Wally’s, who was also blushing when he looked at her, and took his paw and they walked over to a corner where they won’t be disturbed.

“I think my Gardevior has got a crush on yours,” Cassandra said while giving Wally a wink.
“Really?” Wally asked in a surprised tone.
“Yeah, and if things work, I bet Gardevior would want to see him again.”
“I have all the time in the world,” Black Jack continued. “After this tournament’s done, I’ll take the badge to you by motorbike. Along the way, I’ll pick Cassandra up and so that her Gardevior will visit yours.”
“Sounds great,” Wally replied.
“I never knew you’d be thoughtful,” Misty said.
“Well, I try my best,” Black Jack replied.

When they walked to the exit of village, the Gardevior were still holding paws while Wally and Cassandra looked at their pokemon happily. “C’mon, Gardevior,” Wally said. “Let’s go.”

The two gardevior looked into each other’s eyes and nuzzled each other one more time before they departed. As Wally and his Gardevior left they waved goodbye to their friends. “To tell you something, Cassandra,” Black Jack said. “I think we should come up with a nickname for your Gardevior.”
“Hmm… I don’t know”, Cassandra said. “Why don’t we let Gardevior decide?”

Gardevior shrugged, meaning that she didn’t mind. The gang walked back to the pokemon center discussing ideal names for Gardevior.

“How about Jenny?” Brock suggested.
“You’re not naming her after Officer Jenny are you?” Misty said nastily.
“Er… no,” Brock responded nervously.
“How about Kelly?” May suggested.
Gardevior shook her head.
“How about Snow White?” Max suggested.
Gardevior shook her head again.
“Well, we can’t name her after me,” Cassandra said. “Jesse?”
Everyone shivered at that name (apart from Lao Ping and Gardevior) as Gardevior shook her head again.

“Sandy? No?”
“How about Gardy? Not that either?”
“How about this, Shelly?”
“No? How about Joy?”
“Brock!”
“Oh, sorry.”

“Oh man,” Black Jack moaned, wishing that he had never started this in the first place.

Chapter 6

The next morning at the pokemon center of Hoenn League village, Black Jack was checking to see who was his next opponent. He was looking at the big screen as it showed him his next opponent. It turned out to be a twenty-year-old woman dressed in traditional yet beautiful Chinese dress. The screen stated that her name was Cecilia Stansfield

“I never heard of her,” he replied.
“But I have heard of you,” said a girl’s voice.

Black Jack turned around to see the person that was identical to the picture on the screen. “It’s an honour and pleasure to finally meet you, Mr. Black Jack.”

She politely bowed to him while Black Jack smiled. “Likewise,” he replied.
“I have heard many and great deeds you have done, sir.”
“… And I haven’t heard anything about you. But getting this far, you must be good.”
“I look forward to our battle. And I hope that it’ll be a great one.”
“You can count on it.”

They both shook hands.

“And may the best trainer win.”
“I plan to.”

Cecilia giggled at that remark as she turned to exit the center. “Finally,” Black Jack thought as he shrugged. “A trainer who isn’t a freak!”

The next day, Black Jack got himself ready for his semi-final round as he walked into the battlefield waiting for his next opponent, Cecilia. Black Jack’s ‘acquaintances’ sat as part of the audience.

“So who’s this Cecilia?” Ash asked.
“I heard that she came from Mossdeep city,” Max replied. “She trained at Mossdeep City gym to learn about psychic pokemon, but she likes to learn other styles too and she trains her pokemon in different ways.”
“What kind of ways?”
“Well for example, she might’ve taught a Scyther to use a poison type attack, like Toxic.”

As Cecilia came out, Brock immediately fell for her and blushed. “She’s beautiful as well!” he cried. “She can train me anytime!”

Both Misty and Max pulled each one of Brock’s ears to make him snap out of his daydream.

“In this round,” The announcer cried. “Both trainer’s are allowed to use three pokemon each but only one at a time! The screen will now show who will be the trainer to start first!”

The big screen had chosen Black Jack to select his first pokemon. “I think I’ll use the pokemon that I haven’t used yet,” he thought. He remembered using Tyranitar in the first round, and he also used Blaziken and Metagross in the second round. That meant that he had Feraligatr, Nidoking and Salamence left. He picked out a pokeball out of his trainer belt. “Feraligatr!” he cried as he tossed it out. “Go for it!”

He tossed out the pokeball and Feraligatr popped out, giving a loud roar. Cecilia picked out one of her pokeballs and tossed it out. “Scyther!” she cried. “I choose you!”

Scyther popped and got into his battle stance as he prepared himself for battle.

“Scyther!” Cecilia shouted. “Slash attack!”
“Feraligatr!” Black Jack shouted. “Dodge it now!”

Scyther’s slash attack was coming down on Feraligatr like a falling tree, only Feraligatr barely dodged out of the way. Scyther kept on slashing at Feraligatr but it kept on missing each time. Suddenly Black Jack noticed the moment when Scyther’s movement slowed as Scyther leapt into the air.

“Feraligatr!” Black Jack shouted. “Grab the scythes!”
Feraligatr quickly grabbed Scyther’s scythe as soon as they were coming down on him.

Scyther landed on his feet as his scythes were caught, and he wasn’t able to struggle free. Cecilia had a shocked look on her face.

“Now feraligatr!” Black Jack ordered. “Headbutt attack.”

Feraligatr opened Scyther’s arms apart and headbutted him in the head, knocking Scyther down. “Now Feraligatr!” Black Jack commanded. “Finish him off with your slash attack!”

Feraligatr leapt into the air and was about to defeat Scyther. “Scyther!” Cecilia cried. “Toxic attack!”

Scyther opened his mouth and spat a huge poisonous vomit at Feraligatr. Feraligatr fell down hard on the ground as his entire body suddenly felt weak.

“See?” Max said. “I told ya!”

“Shoot!” Black Jack thought. “Feraligatr’s hit!”

Feraligatr struggled to get to his feet, as did Scyther since he vomited out the poisonous sludge. Both pokemon were feeling quite weak. Ash noticed that Black Jack isn’t calling back his weakened pokemon.

“Why isn’t he calling back his weakened pokemon?” Ash asked. “Doesn’t he care about his pokemon?”
“Pika?” Pikachu.
“Of course he does,” Cassandra replied. “I’ve seen how the way he treats his pokemon. From what I saw, they are more than just a trainer training his pokemon. One time, Black Jack and his pokemon fought together as a team against those thugs, the Rocket Revengers.”
“I remembered reading about that,” Brock replied. “Black Jack’s way of training must be very different to everybody else’s.”
“True,” Max replied. “I heard that he trains them by battling them himself. And judging by the way Black Jack look, I’d say that he must’ve trained them very well.”

“Even though Feraligatr’s hurt, I know that he won’t give in,” Black Jack thought, feeling Feraligatr’s determination, his will to fight and his will to win.

“Scyther!” Cecilia cried. “Now that Feraligatr’s weakened, finish it off with your Slash attack!”

Scyther leapt into the air. “Jumping with swords again, eh?” Black Jack said confidently. “Feraligatr! Grab Scyther’s neck!”

As Scyther’s cutting edges were coming down on Feraligatr’s head, he instantly grabbed his neck, stopping the attack. “What?” Cecilia said in shock.

“Slam him now!” Black Jack commanded. Feraligatr lifted Scyther up the neck and then slammed him on the ground, knocking him out. Scyther was no longer able to battle.

Feraligatr was no longer able to battle either as he fainted due to the poisonous effect of Scyther’s Toxic. It turned out to be a draw. Both Black Jack and Cecilia called back their pokemon.

“Nice work, Feraligatr,” Black Jack said to Feraligatr’s pokeball.

“Since this is a draw, ladies and gents,” cried the announcer. “The computer will now select who’ll be the first to pick their next pokemon.”

This time, the screen chose Cecilia to choose. “Mysterio!” she cried as she picked out another pokeball. “I choose you!”

Another Scyther came out as he gave out a battle cry. “Another Scyther huh?” Black Jack asked. “I think you made a bit of mistake, using the same pokemon type for this battle.”
“I’m afraid not,” Cecilia replied confidently. “This Scyther’s different from the one you’ve defeated.”
“Okay then… Nidoking! Your turn!”

Black Jack chucked out another pokeball, which contained Nidoking. He popped out of his pokeball and gave a loud roar as he prepared for battle.

“You think that roar would scare us?” Cecilia taunted. “Mystrerio! Sword Dance and Cut attack!”

Mysterio spun round as he dashed towards Nidoking like a small tornado. “Nidoking!” Black Jack yelled. “Jump over it!”

Nidoking attempted to jump over Mysterio's Sword Dance and Cut combo, Cecilia had another attack in her mind. “Mysterio!” she cried. “Sandstorm now!”

Mysterio spun faster and faster a huge tornado was picked up and caught Nidoking. He was taken by surprise as he spun round and round. “Shoot!” Black Jack thought as he was surprised by that move as well.

Nidoking’s face turned from being surprised to being dizzy and nauseous. “Mysterio!” Cecilia ordered. “Stop the attack!”

Mysterio stopped spinning and looked up. As Nidoking fell down, everyone thought that Nidoking was knocked out by the Sandstorm. “It looks like Nidoking’s out,” Cassandra said sadly.

But to everyone’s surprise, Nidoking retaliated from his dizziness as he spun round and instinctively aimed his stomp move on Mysterio. “Mysterio! Dodge!” Cecilia ordered. Scar Maker barely moved out of harm’s way as Nidoking’s feet landed on the ground, making a huge crack.

“Look’s like Nidoking’s not out yet,” Black Jack said confidently. Nidoking gave a nasty growl to his opponent.
“Mysterio! Swift attack!” Cecilia commanded.

Mysterio leapt into the air and quickly spread out his scythes as he shot out tens of energy fireballs that looked like stars.

“A swift attack,” Black Jack commented confidently. “A move that never misses… and neither does this! Nidoking! Counter attack!”

Nidoking swung his tail round to bounce the Swift attack back at Mysterio. He tried to dodge the attack but it was no use.

As Mysterio fell to the ground, Nidoking gave a loud roar. Black Jack noticed what his pokemon wanted to do at that very moment. “Now Nidoking!” he shouted. “Thrash attack!”

Nidoking tackled Mysterio to the floor and began his trademark pummelling. “Now finish it off with your Mega Punch attack!”

Nidoking lifted his right arm and punched his opponent right in the face, knocking him out. The punch was so hard, that it made most of the audience hurt.

“Mysterio is no longer able to battle,” the referee announced.
“Mysterio!” Cecilia cried. “Return!”

Scar Maker went back into his pokeball. Cecilia took out her third and final pokeball. “Edge!” she cried. “I choose you!”

A Scizor popped out of his pokeball. “Scizor…”

“Hmm…” Cassandra thought. “Her battling tactics seems strangely familiar to me…”

“Take a breather, Nidoking!” Black Jack said as he took out his pokeball. Nidoking was sent back into the pokeball. Black Jack took out another pokeball. “Salamence! Go for it!”

Salamence popped out of his pokeball and gave a loud roar as he prepared for battle. “Edge! Metal Claw!” Cecilia commanded.

Edge charged up the power of his claws and Black Jack noticed the weakness of that move, so did his ‘acquaintances’.

“Hmm, normally, anytime a fighter charges up his power,” Brock said, informing the others. “They wouldn’t be able to move because they are focusing on their energy, just so they can unleash their attack.”
“And Black Jack isn’t going to take any chances waiting for Scizor to attack,” Ash replied as he had noticed in Black Jack’s previous rounds that not only he’s got strong and powerful pokemon, he and his pokemon have an unorthodox ability of being unpredictable.
“Wait a minute!” Cassandra thought. “I’ve seen that move before! I wonder if she knows…”

“Salamence!” Black Jack yelled. “Fire Blast attack!”
“Edge! Attack now!” Cecilia yelled.

Salamence blasted out a huge fire in a form of a giant symbol. Edge ran towards and dodged underneath the attack and smashed him in the face with his closed pincers, knocking him down.

Salamence slowly picked himself up, shaking off the dizziness. Edge was about to attack Salamence again, but missed as Salamence dodged the attack and flew up high. “Salamence!” Black Jack shouted. “Flamethrower attack!”

Salamence shot out multiple flames but Edge dodged each and every one of them. “Edge!” Cecilia cried. “Metal Claw again!”

Edge leapt into the air in front of Salamence and slammed his pincers on his head, sending him crashing to the ground, making a huge crack in it.

Scizor safely landed on his feet after the attack. Black Jack began to snigger. “Is that the only move you know?” he asked in a confident tone.
“Edge!” Cecilia cried, ignoring Black Jack’s criticism. “Finish it off now! Slash attack!”

Scizor charged at Salamence. Salamence and Black Jack noticed the weak point of that strategy straight away as Black Jack stood their ground and Salamence struggled to get to his feet.

They waited, and waited until…

“Now Salamence!” Black Jack commanded. Salamence lifted up his front legs and grabbed Edge by the waist. He lifted him up and slammed him on his back. Edge tried to pick himself up but Salamence stopped the recovery as he jumped a small height and slammed his front on Edge, using his weight to squash him!

Salamence picked himself up to see Edge squashed. “Scizor…” Edge moaned. “Scizor is no longer able to battle!” the ref cried. “Salamence wins the battle and Black Jack wins the match.”

The crowd went wild as they once again gave a deafening cheer as they stood up.

“Edge,” Cecilia said. “I’m very proud of you… return.”

As Edge returned to his pokeball she looked at Black Jack. “Hmm,” she thought. “I better keep an eye on him.”

“Nicely done, Salamence,” Black Jack said with a proud and praised tone. Salamence responded as he gave a triumphant roar.

Ash looked at Black Jack with determination, as he knew that Black Jack was now in the grand final. He predicted that if he gets into the grand final with him, it would be a heavy and great battle.

Chapter 7

A few moments after Black Jack defeated Cecilia in his semi-final match, he and his acquaintances waited patiently for Ash and his next opponent.

“So, who is Ash’s next opponent?” Black Jack asked.
“It’s Steven Stone,” May replied. “He won last year’s Hoenn League championship.”
“I know.”
“I hear that steel-type pokemon are his specialty,” Brock replied. “So Ash has to be very careful in this one.”
“Just a couple of Ground and Fire attacks should do the trick,” Max said.
“It takes more than that to beat strong steel type pokemon,” Black Jack said. “You’ve been with Ash for a long time, Max. You should know how he battles.”

The announcer introduced Ash to the crowd as they gave him a deafening cheer. Ash smiled as he waved to them. The announcer then introduced the Hoenn League Champion, Steven Stone.

Steven came out wearing a smart suit but his arm sleeves were each wrapped by small belts. His hair was grey but the sun made it shiny.

“Nice to see you again, Steven,” Ash said as he smiled. “I was surprised that you would be my opponent in the semi-final.”
“I, too, was surprised, Ash,” Steven replied. “I just hope that you’ve trained well, for I do not plan to lose anyway.”

They both met on separate occasions. In particular, they first met in Granite Cave just outside Dewford city where Steven was looking for some rare stones, but they were attacked Team Rocket. Luckily, Steven’s Aggron sent them flying with his Hyper Beam attack.

Everyone was anxious as they waited for the computer to select which trainer would choose his pokemon out first. It chose Steven to pick first, possibly giving Ash and advantage.

Steven took out one of his pokeballs and tossed it out. “Skarmory!” he yelled. “Go!”

The metal bird pokemon popped out and gave a loud screech, as it readied for battle. “Good thing Brock gave me some details about Steven’s pokemon,” Ash thought. He pointed his finger at Skarmory.

“I choose Pikachu!” he yelled.
“Pika!” Pikachu cried as he ran onto the battlefield.
“BEGIN!” the referee cried as he raised the two different coloured flags.

“Pikachu! Thunderbolt attack!” Ash cried.
“Skarmory! Take flight!” Steven yelled.

Pikachu charged up his electric powers and shot out his attack, but missed as Skarmory flew high in the air.

“Pikachu! Thunderbolt again!” Ash yelled.

Pikachu shot out his attack again, but missed again as Skarmory flew sideways. “This isn’t working!” Ash snarled.

“Skarmory!” Steven yelled. “Drill Peck attack!”

Skarmory dived down at Pikachu while spinning like a drill, the attack missed as Pikachu barely dodged out of the way. Skarmory used the attack repeatedly but missed each time. “Skarmory is too fast for Pikachu,” Ash thought in a frustrated tone. “Wait! I know!”

Skarmory dived his beak at Pikachu again. “Pikachu!” Ash yelled. “Jump on Skarmory!”

The metal bird’s attack missed as the little yellow rodent leapt into the air and landed on the back of Skarmory.

“Enjoy the shocking experience, Skarmory… up close,” Black Jack thought as he smiled sinisterly.

“No!” Steven yelled. “Skarmory! Shake it off!”

Skarmory flew high in the air as he attempted to shake Pikachu away. “Pikachu! Thunder attack!” Ash yelled.

“Pika… CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!” Pikachu cried as he let out his strongest electric attack. Skarmory screeched loudly in pain.

After feeling the pain of Pikachu’s Thunder attack, Skarmory fainted as he crashed on the ground. Before it did, Pikachu jumped off Skarmory and landed safely on his feet. “Skarmory is no longer able to battle,” the referee announced. “Pikachu wins the match!”

“Good going, Pikachu!” Ash said, congratulating his pokemon and friend.
“Pika Pikachu!” Pikachu squealed happily.

“You did your best, Skarmory,” Steven said as he called back his unocnoscious Skarmory. He took out another pokeball and tossed it out. “Go! Aggron!”

A huge Aggron came out of his pokeball and gave out a loud roar, attempting to intimidate little Pikachu but to no avail.

“Pikachu! You need to rest!” Ash yelled. “Return!”

Pikachu did as he was instructed and ran back to his trainer. Ash took out another pokeball. “Torkoal! I choose you!”

He threw a pokeball and Torkoal came out of his pokeball. Puffs of smoke came out from different parts of his rocky shell as he prepared for battle.

“Aggron! Tackle attack!” Steven cried.
“Torkoal! Flamethrower attack!”

As Aggron ran towards Torkoal, Torkoal shot a lick of flamethrower out of his mouth and was coming straight at Aggron.

“Ash might be in luck,” Brock said. “Both Torkoal and Aggron have high physical defence stats but they are low on elemental defence. We all know that Torkoal is a fire type and Aggron is a dual rock and steel type.”
“That means that if Torkoal can hit Aggron with his flamethrower attack, Aggron would be knocked out straight away because Steel type pokemon are weak against fire attacks,” Max continued.
“Good thinking,” Brock replied.

Black Jack let out a small sigh. “If they want to be smart, they should say things in every little detail,” he thought.

Back on the battlefield, the flamethrower attack was straight at the charging Aggron. “Aggron! Jump to dodge the attack!” Steven yelled.

Aggron did as he was instructed and leapt into the air, dodging the flamethrower attack at the same time. Aggron landed on top of Torkoal’s shell, attempting to cause damage but to no avail. Noticing this, Aggron immediately jumped of his shell.

“Hmm, that didn’t work,” Steven thought to himself.
“Aggron didn’t have much chance against Torkoal’s defences,” Ash thought as he smiled confidently.

“Aggron! Thunder attack!” Steven commanded.
“Thunder!?” Ash yelled in shock.

Aggron let out a small growl as electricity surrounded his body. He then let out a huge roar as a huge spark of electricity was flying at Torkoal. “Torkoal!” Ash yelled. “Dodge out of the way!”

Torkoal barely dodged out of harm’s way. “Aggron! Take down attack!” Steven yelled. But Aggron wasn’t able to attack as he felt the recoil of his electric attack as he became paralysed, much to Steven’s shock.

“I don’t get it,” May said. “Why can’t Aggron attack?”
“He used up too much electricity,” Black Jack replied. “Ever heard of power overload?”
“No. I’ve never watched Star Wars.”

Ash took his chance to make his attack. “Torkoal! Flamethrower!”

Torkoal shot out another lick of flame at Aggron. This time the move connected as Aggron felt even more pain in and out of his body, passing out in the process.

“Aggron is no longer able to battle,” the referee announced. “Torkoal wins the round and Steven Stone has one pokemon left at his disposal.”

“That was great Torkoal!” Ash yelled triumphantly. “One more pokemon to knock out and we’re in the grand final!”

Both Pikachu and Torkoal cheered happily at the announcement.

“Maybe,” Steven replied as he took out another pokeball. “But this battle is far from over, Ash.”

He tossed out his third and final pokeball. “Go! Metagross!”

Metagross came out of his pokeball.

“Steven has a Metagross too!” Ash said as his eyes widened.
“You’re my last hope, Metagross,” Steven thought to himself. “But with you, the battle has just begun.

“Things are about to get interesting,” Black Jack said as he closely observed the match.

“Let’s see,” Ash thought deeply. “Black Jack used his Metagross against Mr. Mack’s Hitmonlee in the previous round. His Metagross’s kept on missing of Hitmonlee’s dancing techniques. A lack of speed might be Steven’s Metagross’s weakness.”

“Torkoal, return!” Ash yelled as he took out his pokeball. Torkoal went back inside it. Ash took out his other pokeball and tossed it out. “Charizard! Go!”

Charizard came out of his pokeball and let out a loud roar. “Alright, Charizard!” Ash yelled. “Flamethrower attack!”

Charizard aimed and shot out a lick of flame out of his mouth at the Iron Leg pokemon. “Metagross!” Steven yelled. “Counter with Mirror Coat!”

Metagross glowed vigorously and the fire attack bounced away from and was coming back at Charizard. “Charizard! Dodge!” Ash yelled.

Charizard barely dodged out of the way as it flew high into the air.

“Ash, look out!” Misty cried as the flame attack was coming at Ash. Luckily, he dodged out of the way.

“Phew!” Max said as he wiped away some sweats off his forehead. “I thought Ash was a goner there.”
“I was worried too,” Misty said. “Ash got himself seriously hurt at times.”
“So have I,” Black Jack thought as he continued to watch the match.

“Charizard!” Ash yelled. “Knock Metagross down with your headbutt attack!”

Charizard did as he was instructed and dived straight down at Metagross like a speeding bullet that was shot out like a gun. “Why would Ash command his Charizard to use an attack that wouldn’t do much to Metagross? Black Jack thought. “Unless…”

“Aim for the leg!” Ash yelled.
“Dodge to your right, Metagross!” Steven yelled.

Charizard barely missed one of Metagross’s legs as it dodged out of the way. “Now Metagross!” Steven yelled. “Give that Charizard a headbutt of your own!”

Charizard turned around in mid-air and attempted another headbutt. But as he dived down, Metagross leapt into the air and headbutted him in the face. “Great job!” Steven yelled. “Finish with Psybeam attack!”

“No!” Ash yelled.

Metagross safely landed on the ground, which caused a small earthquake. It then aimed its eyes at Charizard and shot his two Psybeams out of them. The attack hit Charizard, knocking him out.

Charizard fell hard on the floor. Ash ran over to his defeated pokemon. “Charizard! No!” Ash cried worryingly. “Are you okay?”

Charizard let out a small growl but wasn’t able to move because of the damage Metagross caused. “Charizard is no longer able to battle!” the ref cried. “Metagross wins the round.

Ash took out his pokeball and got Charizard to return. He now has two pokemon remaining, Torkoal and Pikachu.

Ash took out the pokeball that contained Torkoal. “Torkoal! Go!” Ash cried.

Torkoal came out prepared for battle as puffs of smoke came out of different parts of his shell. “Okay, Torkoal! Tackle attack!” Ash yelled.
“Metagross! Headbutt attack!” Steven yelled.

Metagross and Torkoal ran at each at their highest speed. Metagross lowered its head, attempting to give Torkoal his attack. But the fiery tortoise ducked and tackled on of Metagross’s legs, tripping him over.

Metagross landed on his back, unable to move physically. “Metagross!” Steven yelled. “Use your psychic powers to get back on your feet!”

Metagross summoned up his psychic powers and slowly floated into the air. It turned itself sideways and landed on its feet. “I oughta catch me a Metagross,” Ash thought.

“Torkoal!” He yelled. “Tackle it again!”

Torkoal leapt into the air and tackled Metagross in the face with its shell. Metagross staggered backwards. “Metagross!” Steven yelled. “Shoot out your Psybeams!”

Metagross shot out two psybeams out of his eyes at Torkoal. “Torkoal!” Ash yelled. “Flamethrower attack!”

Torkoal shot out a lick of flame out of his mouth. The attacks collided and both pokemon had to push their powers to their limits. It was quite a struggle for both pokemon but Torkoal lost it as the two psybeams caught him, causing static around his body and knocking him out. “No!” Ash cried in a desperate tone.

“Torkoal is no longer able to battle,” the referee announced. “Metagross won the round and Ash Ketchum has one last pokemon left.”

Ash called back his knocked out Torkoal and sent out his last standing pokemon, Pikachu. Black Jack unfolded his arms and pressed his hands on his knees, he leaned slightly forward and smiled.

“What is it, Black Jack?” Lao Ping asked.
“I think Mother Nature has something planned for Steven,” Black Jack replied.

A small drop of rain fell on the field. Suddenly, it began to rain. Some people in the audience opened up their umbrellas while others covered their heads with books, bags, newspapers or hands, etc. Black Jack took no notice of the rain as he continued focusing on the match.

The rain also surprised Ash, Steven and their respective pokemon. Regardless of the bad weather, they decided to continue.

“Metagross!” Steven yelled. “Meteor Mash!”

Metagross quickly glowed vigorously as he started floating into the air. Its front legs aimed at Pikachu as he charged like a Rhydon.

“Pikachu! Dodge!” Ash yelled. Pikachu leapt into the air to dodge the attack and landed on top of Metagross.

“No!” Steven thought in shock. “If Pikachu uses an electric attack, Metagross will be knocked out because of the rain!”

“Pikachu!” Ash yelled. “Thunder now!”
“Metagross!” Steven yelled. “Shake it off!”

Metagross, still airborne, was zipping through the skies trying to shake off Pikachu while the yellow rodent was hanging on to it for dear life. Metagross finally to shake off Pikachu and Pikachu was now falling at a great height.

“PIKACHU!” Ash cried in shock.

Pikachu retaliated as he charged up his powers and shot out his Thunder attack at Metagross, shocking it until it fainted. Pikachu safely landed on his feet while Metagross fell hard on the floor. As Pikachu landed, he was breathing heavily, feeling worn out after giving out his most powerful attack, which was enough to knock Metagross out.

“Metagross is no longer able to battle!” the referee announced. “Pikachu wins the round and Ash wins the match!”

With that announced, the crowd went wild as they got off their seats and on their feet.

“He… beat me,” Steven said in a surprised tone.
“Pikachu! We did it!” Ash yelled triumphantly.
“Pi Pikachu!” Pikachu squealed happily as he held up a ‘V’ sign on his paw.

“Impressive,” Black Jack said as he stood up applauding calmingly. “Very impressive. Even I would have a difficult time battling Steven.”

Steven called back his Metagross and looked at it. “We have lost the title, Metagross,” he said with a smile. “But I am so proud of you and the others.”

Ash walked over to him. “Steven,” he said as he offered to shake his hand. “This was one great match.”
“I agree,” Steven replied as he shook Ash’s hand. “I will never ever forget this match. And I wish you and your pokemon good luck in the grand final against Black Jack.”
“Thanks.”

Dark clouds began to float away as the sun started to shine. “Looks like the future is looking bright for you, Ash,” Steven said.

“Now!” cried the announcer with excitement. “The places for the grand final have been decided! It’ll be Black Jack versus Ash Ketchum!”

Everyone in the audience gave another deafening cheer.

“The grand final will begin in two days! So finalists either rest up or train hard! Everyone wants you guys in top form for your battle!”

Black Jack started walking out of the stadium while the others continued cheering. “You may have helped me saw the error of my ways, Ketchum,” Black Jack thought deeply. “Sure, you deserve to be the champion. But just make sure your pokemon don’t get their heads smashed.”

With that in mind, Black Jack sniggered evilly.

Episode 6: An unpredicted reunion

Thanks again, DC.

Chapter 1:

It was nighttime, Black Jack was sitting next to a window in a pokemon center of the Hoenn League stadium looking outside of the window, arms folded. A clock on one of the walls says that it was one o’clock in the morning. Everyone was asleep, except him. He always suspected that someone or something might come out of nowhere and attack him.

When morning came, Ash and the others visited the pokemon center; they were also with Cecilia, who acquainted with them after her battle with Black Jack. To their surprise, Black Jack and his pokemon were there, eating breakfast, which were a share of pancakes. Black Jack also had coffee; his Blaziken had small cups of Chinese tea while the others were drinking water.

“Black Jack?” Cassandra said. “When did you get here?”
“I stayed here all night,” Black Jack replied.

Feraligatr and Nidoking were guzzling quickly and noisily through a lot of pancakes while the rest of Black Jack’s pokemon looked on as they had small anime sweat drops on the side of their heads. Feraligatr gave a small burp, hoping no one heard or noticed.

“Pancakes?” Black Jack offered. “They’re all right.”
“Sure,” everyone replied.

Black Jack snapped his fingers. A waiter came by. “Yes sir?”
“More pancakes,” Black Jack replied.
“Yes sir.”

In no time, pancakes were delivered to Ash and the others. Ash took a bite of one of the pancakes and quickly recognised the taste. “My mom’s here!” he yelled.

“Ash!” a woman’s voice yelled.
“Mrs Ketchum?” the others called (except, Black, Cassandra and Lao Ping).

A woman with a red pony tail, pink jacket, yellow shirt, purple skirt, white apron and white high heeled shoes came out of the kitchen.

“Mom!” Ash cried happily as he rushed over to her.
“Oh, Ash,” Mrs Ketchum replied. “How’s my little pokemon master?”
“Things are going great, mom. What are you doing here?”
“You think that I would miss your matches, hmm, even if you didn’t even contact me? You naughty boy!”
“Sorry, mom…”

Ash placed his hand at the back of his head in embarrassment. “Pika pika!” Pikachu said.
Mrs Ketchum looked down at Pikachu. “I haven’t forgot about you either, Pikachu,” she replied as she picked him up.
“Pikachu!” Pikachu said happily.

Black Jack had just finished off his last pancake. His pokemon hadn’t finished theirs yet. “I’ll be out for a sec,” he said as he got up from his seat. “I’ll be back for you guys.”
“Wait, Black Jack,” Ash called. “You haven’t met my mom yet.”
“Hi,” Mrs Ketchum said. “My name’s Delia.”
“Hi,” Black Jack replied as he continued walking away, hands in his jacket pockets.

“Why is he being like this?” Misty asked.
“It must be because of his parents,” Cassandra replied theoretically. “Either they never treated him right, or worse.”

Black Jack walked outside the pokemon center. He was deep in thought about someone important in his life. A relative. A brother. “John,” he said quietly to himself. “Should I call you?”

Black Jack gave a small smile to himself while he scratched his head. Suddenly, a woman’s voice called out to him. “Mr. Black Jack.”

Black Jack turned round to see the nurse of the Pokemon center, Nurse Joy.

“What?” Black Jack asked in a rude tone.
“A message for you,” she replied.

She handed the message over to him; he opened it and read it. At some point, his eyes widened with shock. His pocketed the message and hurried off.

“Where are you going?” Nurse Joy cried.
“None of your business!” Black Jack shouted back as he ran.

Ash, Cecilia, Delia, Misty, Brock, May, Max, Cassandra and Lao Ping came running out of the pokemon center after they heard Black Jack’s shouting. Black Jack’s pokemon followed behind.

“Nurse Joy!” Brock called.
“What happened?” asked Misty. “We heard a shout from Black Jack.”
“I have no idea where he’s going,” Joy replied. “I got a feeling that something bad is about to happen.”
“Do you know where he’s heading to?” Lao Ping asked.
“I haven’t a clue.”
“I have an idea,” Cassandra said as she took out her pokeball. “Go! Spearow!”

Spearow popped out of his pokeball. “Spear!”

“Spearow!” Cassandra cried. “See if you can find out where Black Jack is!”
“Spear!” Spearow replied as she flew away.

As she flew around the Hoenn League village, she spotted Black Jack outside the arena talking to a man in a black suit. The man in the black suit allowed Black Jack to enter. Spearow flew back to the others.

Back at Cassandra’s location, she spotted her Spearow flying back. “Spearow, did you find him?” Cassandra asked loudly, because Spearow was still in the air.
“Spearow!” Spearow cried as she pointed at Black Jack’s direction.
“Great!” Ash replied. “Let’s go!”

Everyone, except Nurse Joy, ran to the stadium. Brock suddenly stopped and ran back to her. “If it’s nothing,” Brock said, while blushing and gently holding Joy’s hands. “Will you date me tonight?”
“Huh?” Nurse Joy replied with confusion on her face.
“Brock!” snarled Misty as she ran back to pull Brock’s ear. “This IS something and something tells me it’s something bad!!”

She ran towards the stadium again while pulling Brock’s ear. All Brock could do was moan in pain.

The man in the black suit spotted them coming. “What do you brats want?” he rudely asked.
“We want to know what’s going on in there,” Ash demanded. “We saw Black Jack going in there!”
“Black Jack was told to come here,” the man answered. “The reason is none of your concern.”
“I don’t think he’s going to budge,” Lao Ping said.

Feraligatr, Nidoking and Tyranitar looked at each other and nodded. They decided to gang up and beat the heck out of that man. The man in the suit couldn’t even defend himself against three of Black Jack’s strongest pokemon as he lay on the floor with swirly eyes.

“I was mistaken,” Lao Ping said looking at damage that the pokemon caused.

Ash and co. ran inside the stadium and looked round to see Black Jack standing in the audience balcony with shocked eyes.

“Black Jack!” Cassandra shouted. “What are you doing here?”

Black Jack looked at a medium built man in with brown short hair and beard with blue determined eyes. He was a wearing a blue shirt, black trousers and brown shoes. He was holding a black briefcase.

“I asked myself the same question,” Black Jack replied still with the shocked look. “With a slight difference… what is my brother doing here??”

Haha! You ain't seen nothing yet!

Chapter 2

Black Jack and co. were at the arena watching as audience members. On the battlefield stands a medium built man in with brown short hair and beard with blue determined eyes. He was a wearing a blue-buttoned shirt, black trousers and brown shoes. He was also holding a black briefcase.

“John…” Black Jack said to himself.
“You know him?” Cassandra asked, hearing what Black Jack said.
“He’s my brother.”

That shocked everyone and the pokemon, except his Tyranitar. Nidoking couldn’t help but notice.

Ash ran up Black Jack, “You have got to be kidding!” he said.
“Do you see me joking about?” Black Jack replied.

Before anyone could say another word, a man in a red suit came out of the entranceway. A man in a black suit followed behind, holding a briefcase. “That guy looks familiar,” Black Jack thought to himself.

“Mane!” John yelled. “Where’s my family!?”

“John has a family of his own??” Black Jack asked in a shocked tone.

“Calm down, my dear opponent,” Mane replied in a calm tone and a posh accent. “We don’t want to make a scene in front of our audience now, do we?”

He turned his head to his right to see Black Jack and the others. John did the same. To his shock, he saw Black Jack. “Jack!?” he said in a shocked tone. “I thought this would be a private battle, Mane!”

“I wanted it to be a surprise, my friend,” Mane replied. “We have both seen Black Jack and Ash Ketchum get into the grand final, so I decided to give them a little treat.”

John growled at Mane. “Calm now, Hummingburg,” Mane said. “If you want your family back, all you have to do is beat me in a pokemon battle. But if you fail, not only will they remain in their cells, but you’ll also be joining them and you’re company will be mine!”
“That’s not gonna happen!” John shouted in response. “Not only am I gonna win this battle, but I’ll also smash your head in!”
“Then let the game begin.”

Elsewhere in a stadium, a man with short light purple hair, a woman with long dark purple hair and a Meowth were cleaning out lavatories, they were all in cleaners uniform. “Of all da jobs that we coulda chosen,” said the Meowth. “We had to choose dis? Why’s dat?”
“Because this is the only job we can find available!” complained the woman. “And also because of those twerps that keep on ruining our plans to capture that Pikachu, there would be no way that the boss would be paying us! And if you two would stop fooling about when we did catch Pikachu, we would’ve gotten away with it! And…”
“Yes, yes alright!” the man moaned. “Gosh, there was no need to be so harsh, Jesse.”
“Of course there is, James! We’re bad guys! And it’s a good thing that we finished cleaning this dump!”
“Where do we clean next, Jess? Meowth asked.
“That stupid stadium!”

Back at the battlefield, John and Mane walked to their respective parts of the battlefield. The man that was accompanying Mane opened the brifcase and it revealed six pokeballs, each containing a pokemon. Mane picked out one of them, while John got one of his pokeballs out from his own briefcase.

“Well, Black Jack,” Max said. “What do you think John’s chances are?”

Black Jack clenched his fist, his eyes turned from shock to determination. “I don’t know, kid” he replied. “But no matter what, I won’t hold anything back to help him.”

He leaned forward. “John!” he cried. “You have to believe in your pokemon!” John turned to look at his brother as he continued encouraging him. “It takes more than shouting out attacks and strong pokemon to win! Everything is at stake here! If Mane wins, you won’t be the only person losing something important! Cos I’ll be losing you as well! And I don’t want that to…”

“Black Jack!” Ash interrupted. “Just calm down, okay?”

Black Jack breathed deeply in and out.

“It’s alright, Jack,” John thought to himself. “I won’t be needing help in this one.”

Mane took out a coin out of his pocket. “Ready, Hummingburg? I will flip a coin to decide who call out their pokemon first. Heads, I’ll go first. Tails, you’ll go first.”
“Just flip it,” John replied.

“If John has to go first,” Black Jack said. “Then Mane would have the advantage, and that could be a big problem for him.”

Mane flipped a coin. As it landed on the ground, it showed the tail symbol. The man standing near Mane went to pick up the coin for him. “Shoot!” Black Jack cursed.

“I go first then!” John shouted. “So what? You still won’t beat me! I choose you! Machoke!”

A Machoke popped out of his pokeball. It showed some muscle poses.

“A Machoke?” Mane replied with a confident smile. “This is going to be such fun. Go! Pokeball!”

Mane tossed out a pokeball and out popped… A Suicune!!

Shock appeared on everyone’s faces. “Mane does have a big advantage!!” Max shouted.
“I can’t believe it!” Ash said. “How is anyone gonna beat that?”

Black Jack’s eyes narrowed with suspicion. “Mane must be a tough trainer to catch a pokemon as rare as Suicune,” he thought. “Unless…”

He then spotted a very small microchip on Suicune’s back. “Wait a minute,” he thought. “What’s that microchip for?”

“I don’t care if you have the rarest pokemon around! I’ll still beat you!” John shouted with determination. Having heard that, Black Jack took his eyes off the microchip. “Machoke! John ordered. “Karate Chop!”
“Suicune!” Mane ordered. “Counter with Water Gun!”

Suicune opened its mouth and shot out a huge and powerful foam of water at Machoke. Machoke got caught and was shoved by the attack until his back got smashed into the stadium wall. He was no longer able to battle as everyone watched in horror and shock.

“That looked more like a Hydro Pump than a Water Gun!” Max cried.
“This stinks!” Black Jack cursed as he pounded his fist into his hand.
“That Machoke didn’t even land a finger,” May said.

Jesse, James and Meowth were coming up the stairs of the stadium to clean out the rubbish. To their surprise, they found Black Jack and the others staring down at the field. “It’s the twerps!” James moaned.
“What are they doing here?” Jesse moaned.
“Never mind dat,” Meowth said in an interested tone. “Come ‘n’ look at dis!”

Jesse and James looked at what Meowth was looking at they both gasped in amazement. “It’s so beautiful!” Jesse said. “Just like me!”
“Hey, guys!” Meowth said. “Are you guys tinkin’ what I’m tinkin’?”
“I’m sure am!” Jesse replied in a determined tone.
“I’m not,” James replied. “What is it? Lunch?”
“We’re going to bring that Suicune back to the boss, you moron!”
“Oh, yes…”
“And I got a plan for it.”
“Wot? We’re not gonna catch Suicune in front of dose twerps are we?”
“Of course, you’re right. Those brats always mess things up! I have a better idea…”

The three ducked down, keeping out of sight to make a plan.

“Machoke!” John ordered. “Return!”
Machoke returned to his pokeball and John picked out another one. “Venusaur! I choose you!”

Venusaur popped out of his pokeball and gave out a loud roar, as he prepared for battle.

“This should be a good move,” Lao Ping said. “Grass types are an advantage against water types.”
“Let’s hope so,” Brock replied. “Otherwise, Suicune will do more damage.”

Black Jack sat down with his arms folded, concentrating on the match. “C’mon, John!” he thought deeply in a desperate tone. “Beat that creep!”

“Venusaur!” John ordered. “Leech Seed and Toxic!”

Venusaur spat out a huge purple goo out of his mouth and sent out three small seeds out of the flower on his back.

“Suicune!” Mane commanded confidently. “Right Guard… I mean Safeguard!”
“What?!” John shouted in shock. “No way!”

An aura surrounded Suicune, blocking the attacks that Venusaur sent out. “Oh dear,” Mane said. “I should stop remembering the name of that deodorant, today isn’t my shopping day. Now Suicune! Aurora Beam!”

Suicune shot out a shining beam out of its mouth and it hit Venusaur, knocking him out. John growled with frustration. “I cannot be defeated…” he said to himself.

“This is bad…” Black Jack said with desperate eyes. “The battle has just started and John lost two of his pokemon already.”

“Hmhm,” Mane thought evilly. “If everyone is surprised to see a Suicune in a trainer battle, they haven’t seen anything yet… hahahaha… HAHAHAHA!”

[Brian Random]

Weee! Think I'm gonna complain 'bout a legendary? No! Anyway, keep it up!

I just hope others would keep up with this, I'm placing another chapter today. Why? I'll explain tomorrow.

Chapter 3

At that moment, Mane was in the lead with two wins to zero. He had one of the legendary pokemon called Suicune on the battlefield, waiting for the next pokemon to defeat.

Black Jack noticed that Suicune was behaving rather strangely. He also noticed that a microchip is attached to the back of Suicune. “A microchip,” he said, catching his acquaintances’ attention. “That must the reason why that pokemon is acting so strangely.”
“Are you really sure about that?” May asked, also noticing the microchip. “Are you sure that they are not robots or something?”
“I’ve been with pokemon more than you have, kid. That Suicune is definitely real… and tough to beat. But still, don’t count out my brother out yet. He’s got the same toughness that I have.”

On the battlefield, Mane had a confident look in his eyes. John’s eyes turned from determination to frustration. He took out another pokeball out of his briefcase. “Haunter!” he cried. “I choose you!”

Haunter popped out of his pokeball and gave a battle cry.

“Suicune, return,” he ordered, as Suicune returned. “Perhaps I have been a bit rough on you my dear fellow. Maybe I should use a pokemon that I have less experience with. That way, you’ll have a bit of advantage.”
“Bad move, Mane!” John warned. “You’re gonna regret that! Not only for choosing a pokemon you’re weaker with, but also for kidnapping my wife and daughter! If you laid one finger on them, I’ll…”
“Calm down, Johnny. Keep your focus on the game if you want to win. Saving your family would be a bonus as well, wouldn’t it? Haha!”

Elsewhere, behind the audience seats, Jesse, James and Meowth were peeping out to see what was happening. “Hey,” Meowth said. “Where’s dat Suicune?”
“Has someone lost already?” James asked.
“I just hate that word!” Jesse complained. “What’s going on now?”

Mane placed Suicune’s pokeball back into the briefcase and picked out another one. John still had that frustration in his eyes. “Go! Pokeball!” Mane cried as he tossed out another pokeball. This time it was… Zapdos!

The shock expression appeared on everyone’s faces again. “You have got to be kidding me!” Black Jack yelled.
“How’s that an advantage!?” Max cried. “How can anyone beat Mane if he has Zapdos and Suicune?”

“Oh look, Jesse!” James said with glee. “Imagine what the boss would think if we brought that pokemon to him too.”
“Oooooooohhhhh!” Meowth replied. “I can picture it now. We would become Team Rocket executives, we would get lots ‘a’ money, we would be getting a luxury house, we…”
“Stop imagining things, Meowth!” Jesse complained. “To get all that, we’ll need to get them for the boss!”
Suddenly a Wobbuffet appeared. “Wobbuffet!”
“This doesn’t include you! Get back inside!” Jesse complained as she held out her pokeball.

“Haunter!” John commanded. “Night Shade attack!”
“Zapdos!” Mane cried. “Thunder shock attack!”

Haunter shot out a dark beam while Zapdos shot out a bolt of lightning. Both attacks collided and both pokemon were pushing their limits to inflict damage against each other. Haunter began losing his strength and the Zapdos’ thundershock zapped him, making him dazed.

“Now Zapdos!” Mane ordered. “Drill Peck attack!”

Zapdos dived directly at Haunter while spinning like a whirlwind. It swooped upwards as soon as he hit Haunter, sending him flying and knocking him out. As John have noticed was floating down motionlessly from the sky he got him to return. “Haunter return!” he cried.

“Hmhmhm! Three down,” Mane said. “Three to go!”

“This is the one pokemon that has never been defeated after a hundred matches!” John snarled as he picked out another pokeball.

“A hundred matches, huh?” Black Jack thought.
“You better get ready to release my family!” John shouted. “Go! Pokeball!”

John tossed out another pokeball, which turned out to be… Tyranitar! Black Jack had a surprise look in his eyes. His Tyranitar looked at John’s Tyranitar and gave a loud roar to him. John’s Tyranitar looked at Black Jack’s Tyranitar and roared back.

“You had an advantage until now!” John shouted. “Because now my Tyranitar is out and ready to smash your head in, and all of your pokemon will fail you!”

“I beg to differ,” Mane replied. “I think you have just made your final mistake. You should’ve saved the best until last. Zapdos! Thundershock attack!”

Zapdos shot out a bolt of lightning at Tyranitar. But he dodged the attack as he leapt into the air, making the lightning attack hit the ground instead. Tyranitar leapt as high as Zapdos was flying.

“Tyranitar!” John commanded. “Body Slam attack!”

Tyranitar quickly grabbed Zapdos and brought down to the ground, slamming him in the process.

“How dare Johnny hurt such a beautiful bird,” muttered Mane in his thoughts.

“Now Tyranitar!” John cried. “Finish it off with Body Slam and Earthquake attack!”

“That’s our move!” Black Jack said to Tyranitar. “Let’s see if his Tyranitar’s move is more damaging.”

The Tyranitar on the field lifted Zapdos up to his head’s height and then slammed him on ground, almost making a hole in it. The impact was so hard that it would seriously damage an army tank if slammed on.

Zapdos was knocked out, no longer able to battle.

“Just the same,” Black Jack commented with a happy smile. “At least Zapdos is knocked out.”
“Looks like your brother does have a chance!” Misty said.

“Johnny,” Mane said. “I’m impressed by the strength of your Tyranitar. But strength alone isn’t enough.”
“Even though I hate you so much, I couldn’t agree more!” John replied with a frustrated tone. “It also takes heart and spirit to beat the likes of you!”
“I hope that Tyranitar’s ‘heart and spirit’ is higher than his strength,’ Mane said has took out another pokeball. “Because this pokemon I have in my hand is guaranteed to make things even more interesting!”

[Giga Groudon]

Sorry I didn't post in a while, I was playing the GBA game Fire Emblem and not reading fan fiction for some time. I read all the chapters that you've written on Pokecommunity as a non-member (but I won't spoil, I promise) and they're absolutely awesome. This story kicks butt.

 

[Brian Random]

Dark Charizard: Thanx, DC
Double G: Yep, these games can get really addictive, huh? Don't spoil anything after this story, because I have an announcement after this chapter. Thanx for d review by d way.

Chapter 4:

Mane stood in the battlefield holding a pokeball. “Things are getting interesting,” he said. “You’ve just taken out Zapdos, one of my favourite pokemon. Now I’m going to give you a surprise for your effort.”

Black Jack and the others were observing the match as spectators, desperately hoping that John would win this match. Jesse, James and Meowth were also watching the match but from somewhere else in the stadium.

“A Zapdos knocked out by a Tyranitar?” Meowth exclaimed. “Anuder pokemon dat we can catch!”
“I can imagine the boss giving us more than just a raise!” James said happily.
“Not now James!” Jesse complained. “Let’s just see what that Mane guy has in store.”

“Go! Pokeball!” Mane cried as he tossed out another pokeball. This time it was… Mewtwo!!

Shock expressions came onto the faces of Misty, Brock, Ash and Black Jack. How can a pokemon trainer catch Mewtwo!?
“Huh?” May asked. “I never seen or heard of that pokemon before.”

Realising that the others have seen the genetic pokemon on the field, Black Jack had to give some information about him. “That pokemon’s name is Mewtwo. One of the most rarest and one of the most powerful pokemon.”
“What?” Ash asked in a surprised tone. “You know him?”
“Yeah… we met on a couple of occasions and battling him wasn’t pleasant… but I liked it. And judging by your tone, you seem to know him as well.”
“Yeah, we met him at one time when he was in trouble and…”

Black Jack stopped him by raising his hand as he noticed another microchip. This time it was on the back of Mewtwo’s neck.

“I knew it!” Black Jack snarled angrily. “It IS the microchip! Mane must’ve used some annoying gadgets to not only to capture them but to control them as well!”
“Wait a minute!” Ash said. “If Mane captured Mewtwo, what happened to the other pokemon?”
“He must’ve captured them too,” Black Jack replied. “Let’s concentrate on the match. John needs all the help he can get.”

Everyone agreed as they watched the match again with high hopes for John.

Team Rocket also saw with their mouths wide open. “I can’t believe it!” Meowth cried. “Dat guy’s either used some special gadget, or he’s got some other method of catching and using pokemon!”
“The boss would give us a big promotion if we get that thing!” James said excitedly.
“Not only that!” Jesse continued. “He’d give us a big raise, a paid holiday, a very big house…”
“Dis could go on forever…” Meowth mumbled.
Suddenly, Wobbuffet appeared again. “Wobbuffet!”

“Mewtwo!” Mane cried. “Hyper Beam attack!”

Mewtwo raised his hand and shot out a huge beam of light at Tyranitar, who barely dodged the attack.

“That was close!” John commented. “Tyranitar! Tackle attack!”
“Mewtwo! Barrier!” Mane commanded.

Tyranitar ran at Mewtwo to take him down, but Mewtwo’s eyes glowed as he stood. John and Tyranitar thought that they got him, but to their surprise, Tyranitar bounced away from Mewtwo. “The barrier that Mewtwo used must be invisible!” Black Jack thought.

“Gotta use a long range attack!” John said in frustration. “Tyranitar! Hyper Beam attack!”

Tyranitar leaned backwards as he breathed in. Mane and Mewtwo just stood where they were. “What’s the matter, Mane?” John taunted. “Scared?”
“Well, this is hardly a horror movie,” Mane replied.

Tyranitar shot out a huge hyper beam of his own. “Mewtwo! Mirror Coat attack!” Mane yelled.

Mewtwo raised his arm as his eyes glowed again. The beam bounced right off his hand and it hit Tyranitar instead in the gut, knocking him out!

After seeing that knockout, John had disbelief on his face. “No…” he whispered “NO!”
“I told you that you should’ve save the best for last, didn’t I Johnny?” Mane taunted.
“Tyranitar is only one of my best,” John replied, getting back his determination. “Magmar! Go!”

Magmar popped out of his pokeball. “Magmar…”

“Magmar!” John shouted. “Flamethrower attack!”

Magmar spat out a huge flame out of his mouth, aiming for Mewtwo. Mewtwo easily dodged out of the way, making the flame going for Mane.

“That’s it!” John cried. “Scorch him good!”

“John must’ve wanted Magmar to hurt Mane instead of Mewtwo!” Ash said.
“I bet you would do the same if Mane hurt your family as well,” Black Jack replied.

Mane stood calm as the flame was reaching for him. But all of the sudden, Mewtwo stopped the attack with his psychic powers. He formed the flame into a ball and tossed it back at Magmar, causing an explosion on impact.

Magmar fell to the floor, heavily damaged. He slowly picked himself. “Magmar!” John cried. “Are you alright?”

Magmar nodded in response, as he knew what was on the line.

“Alright then!” John said. “Magmar! Fire punch attack!”

Magmar quickly ran at Mewtwo as fireballs appeared on his fist. “What a bore!” Mane commented. “Mewtwo! Psychic attack!” he ordered as he snapped his fingers.

Mewtwo’s eyes glowed again as he stopped Magmar in his tracks. Magmar was lifted into the air; he was then slammed down on the ground numerous times. “Now Mewtwo!” Mane commanded. “Mega Punch attack!”

Mewtwo, still using his psychic powers he brought Magmar close to him and he punched him in the gut sending him flying, unconscious.

“Someone tell me I didn’t see that!” Brock said.
“That Magmar…” Misty said, feeling sorry for it.
“Things are looking really bad now,” Cecilia said.

“Five of my pokemon gone…” John said after calling back Magmar. “Rattata, you’re my only hope now.”

John sent out his Rattata. The pokemon stood his ground, waiting to receive orders.

“A Rattata?” Mane replied with a smirk. “It’s your last pokemon and it’s a Rattata? Well, I guess the truth is that you spend more time with your products than you spend time training. Guess you didn’t see this battle coming, didn’t you? Mewtwo return!”
“Huh? Why are you returning your Mewtwo?”
“I just felt there’s one more surprise I need to show you and our dearly beloved audience.”

“Great,” thought Black Jack in a down tone. “What’s next?”

“Go! Pokeball!” Mane cried as he threw out another pokeball, containing a… Rayquaza!

Shock expressions came on to everyone’s faces again. Only Black Jack snarled in frustration.

“Rayquaza!” Mane shouted. “Hyper Beam attack!”
“Sandra… Alice… I lost,” John said, losing all hope after seeing Rayquaza. “I’m so sorry…”

Rayquaza leaned his head backwards as he breathed in and then he let out a huge Hyper Beam. John shut his eyes slowly as it hit Rattata, causing a huge explosion on impact. After Rattata lay on the ground unconscious, John looked down in defeated manner as he called back his last defeated pokemon.

“There are no more pokemon you can use,” Mane said. “That means you lose, my stout fellow. You have also lost your only chance of saving your dear wife and child. But don’t worry, I do have a proposition for you.”

He snapped his fingers and another man in a suit came out carrying another briefcase. The man held out the briefcase to Mane and opened it. Mane took out a contract and a pen.

“If you want to be with your family, all you need to do is sign here,” he said in joyful tone.
“What’s the catch?” John asked.
“Nothing much, you just have to hand over your company to me. And you and your family will be employed as my servants. If not, you’ll have to spend the rest of your life wallowing in sadness as you sit by your desk”

As much as John hated to do this, he wanted to be with his family even more, so he had no choice. He took the pen out of Mane’s hand and his hand shook, as he was about to sign. Suddenly, a hand knocked off the pen off John’s hand. “I pick door number three!” Black Jack shouted. It was him who knocked down the pen.

“Mane,” Black Jack snarled. “Just because you used those rare pokemon, it doesn’t mean you are the strongest. I challenge you to a battle and if I win, you’ll release John and his family and never hurt them again!”
“This is certainly interesting,” Mane replied.

Before he could say another word, Ash interrupted. “Hold it!”

He jumped down from the audience stands and walked over to them. “You can’t use mind control on the pokemon!” he yelled. “You can’t treat them this way! Either you release those pokemon or you can have a real taste of a trainer!”

“Even more interesting,” Mane replied. “Okay then, how about this? Tomorrow is the grand final, isn’t it? I suggest that the better trainer can challenge me. If Black Jack wins and defeat me, John’s family will be released. If Ketchum wins, then he can challenge me to gain the pokemon’s freedom.”

Ash and Black Jack’s eyes turned from anger to shock. “Wait a minute!” Ash demanded. “How about it if one of us beats you, you’ll release the pokemon AND John’s family?”
“Nice try,” Mane replied. “But I’d be losing everything at once.”
“You were born to lose,” Black Jack muttered.

Mane turned to John. “My dear fellow, Johnny,” he said. “Why don’t you spend more time with your brother.”
“What?” John replied in shock. “How did you know?”
“It doesn’t matter,” he replied as he turned around to leave the stadium.

“Mane, wait a minute!” John cried. “What about my wife and child?”
“Oh, they’ll be fine, I assure you,” Mane replied as he continued to walk away. “hahahaha… HAHAHAHA!”

“No! Wait!” John cried as he tried to go after Mane. Mane ‘s men stepped in front of him and were about to beat him up.

“Lay one finger on him,” Black Jack warned, clenching his fist. “And you’re dead.”

The men took a few steps back, scared of Black Jack. “Hold it right there!” Ash demanded. But Black Jack stopped him.

“No kid,” he replied. “You shouldn’t. If we go after Mane and his men, who knows what he will do to John’s family. For now, we have no choice but to play his game.”

John fell to his knees with tears flowing coming down his eyes. Black Jack walked over to him.

Elsewhere in the stadium, Jesse, James and Meowth had seen and heard everything. “Now what, Jess?” Meowth asked.
“Well, whether it’s Black Jack or the little brat that wins the battle, we can follow them to where Mane’s hiding the pokemon and himself. Finding the pokemon’s exact location will be the most difficult.”
“Nice one, Jesse,” James said as the three sneaky trio sneaked away from the stadium while sniggering.

“Why?” John sobbed as he looked down on the ground. “Why is this happening to me?”
“I’m sorry, brother,” Black Jack as he kneeled down and took out a photo, containing two kids and two adults, which turned out to be John and Black Jack’s family when they were children. “We have lost one family, but I won’t let you lose another.”

John looked up to Black Jack. “Thank you… I’ll never forget this.”

John hugged his missed brother and sobbed like no one has sobbed before. Black Jack’s head turned to look at Ash.

“I guess we can’t hold it any longer,” Ash thought.
“Just a couple more fights,” Black Jack thought. “Just a couple more.”

Next episode: It’s Black Jack Vs Ash Ketchum! And the championship isn’t the only thing on the line!

I spent all morning reading the first page of the thread. It's very good; a good turn from all those clichèd trainer fics I see.

The only problems I see is there isn't much description. Instead if "Black Jack sent out his Nidoking." you could put "Black Jack threw the bi-colored ball and out of the crimson light came out his purple goliath, Nidoking."

Also, some Pokemon names where misspelled, Sneasel (as Charizard said), Kirlia (Kirla), and Gardevoir (Gardevior).

Other then that, keep it up! ;327;

Hiya, folks! I'm just taking time out from my busy schedule *Reads review*.

Thanx, Housyasei-sen for the review.

Wow! Takes you all morning to read the first page? I think I might've made the chapters too long.

About the descriptions, you're probably right. I think I'm putting in more descriptions about the battle scenes rather than the other parts of the fic.

And the misspelling of the names, I got those names from some other guy. I'm not gonna mention anyone, cos I don't want to embarrass him.

I'll change them when I have the time. Thanx again!
