Ashlyn and the gang were now riding Lapras on their way to Pummelo Island.
"I can't believe that I'm finally on my way to the Orange League." Ashlyn said.
"How do you feel about it Ashlyn?" Misty asked.
"Nervous and excited." Ashlyn admitted.
"Since you told me that you entered the Indigo League a while back Ashlyn, I take it this league will be your second one?" Tracey said.
"That's right Tracey, it is." Ashlyn stated.
Raichu looked to the side and saw something, "Raichu? (What's that?)" He asked.
"Rai?" Tesla looked and saw a silhouette of a Pokémon flying across the ocean water, fast.
Ashlyn pulled out her phone and pointedly the silhouette Pokémon that took off into the sky, it scanned the Pokémon.
The image of the Pokémon appeared in full color, "Pokémon Identified; Dragonite, the Dragon Pokémon. Type; Dragon and Flying-type." The female mechanical voice said.
"A Dragonite huh?" Tracey awed at the Pokémon.
"Must belong to Drake. From what I heard, he's the only one on Pummelo Island that has a Dragonite." Volkner said.
========================================
The gang then moved on to Pummelo Island. When the gang finally got to Pummelo Island, the first thing they did was go to the building where Ashlyn had to register to enter the Orange League. The receptionist scanned Ashlyn's phone and four gym badges and soon Ashlyn was registered.
"Okay, Ashlyn Ketchum, your match is scheduled at ten o'clock in the morning at the Pummelo Stadium tomorrow." The receptionist informed.
Ashlyn asked the receptionist where the Pummelo Stadium was. The receptionist showed the gang the way to the Pummelo Stadium. The Pummelo Stadium stood on the top of a big hill, and it looked Roman coliseum style.
There was a domed shape building next to the Pummelo Stadium. The receptionist explained that the dome shaped building was the Orange League's hall of fame. Inside there were stone statues of some Pokémon, pictures of trainers with their six Pokémon and stone slates of prints from Pokémon.
"If a trainer wins the Orange League, not only would you win the winner's trophy but a photo you and your six Pokémon get to be placed in the hall of fame." The receptionist told them.
Ashlyn got really excited of thinking about being placed in the hall of fame.
"To win the Orange League, you have to defeat our head leader, Drake, in a six on six Pokémon battle." The receptionist added.
Just then Tracey noticed a lot of statue of a dragon in the building.
"That's a Dragonite." Ashlyn said.
"That's right and I must warn you, Drake owns a Dragonite." The receptionist warned.
Misty and Tracey were surprised by that. Ashlyn and Volkner already knew.
"And because of Dragonite, Drake hasn't been defeated for quite a while. So Ashlyn I wish you good luck." The receptionist said.
===============================================
That evening, Ashlyn had picked which six Pokémon she would use in her battle against Drake. She switched her Persian for Chrystal. All of her Pokémon were checked up and healed. Flint had shown up earlier and came just in time to come see her upcoming battle. The gang was at the Pokémon Center at the moment, talking to Prof. Oak about the Pokémon she had captured on Rinelo Island. Let's just he was shocked at first. Then he soon calmed down.
"The Pokémon you've found is Type: Null." Prof. Oak told her.
"Type: Null?" Volkner asked.
"What kind of Pokémon is that?" Misty asked.
"I've never heard of this kind of Pokémon before." Tracey added.
"Me neither." Flint agreed.
"That's because Type: Null was created." Prof. Oak stated.
"Created?" Ashlyn's eyes widened.
Everyone was shocked to hear that.
"Type: Null was created by the Aether Foundation to be an "Anti-UB Fighting life-form". Codenamed "Beast Killer". It was developed with cells taken from all known Pokémon types. This was done to give it the ability to shift between types by holding a corresponding memory. This ability led the Aether Foundation to give it the name Type: Full." Prof. Oak paused, "Three known models of Type: Full were created, but all three rejected the RKS System and went berserk. After being subdued, the three Type: Full were given limiter helmets to lessen the effects of the RKS System's rejection and were put into permanent cryogenic stasis. Because of that, the project was deemed a failure, and the creature's name was changed to Type: Null."
"It looks like one of them was successful." Volkner commented.
"What's the RKS System, Prof. Oak?" Ashlyn asked.
"They're memory discs that can change Type: Null's type." Pro. Oak replied.
Ashlyn took off her backpack and took out the metal box with discs. She took out one and held it in front of the screen, "Is this it?"
"It is!" Prof. Oak confirmed with shock, "I'm surprised you have it though."
"Talos must have grabbed it before it escaped." Ashlyn said.
"Talos?" Prof. Oak blinked.
"That's the name I gave to Type: Null." Ashlyn responded.
"I see. Well, I'll notify the Aether Foundation about the missing Type: Null. Take good care of Talos." Prof. Oak said, "Good luck in your battle tomorrow, my dear."
Then the screen went black.
"Wow, I didn't think that Talos was a Pokémon created by science." Flint commented.
"Yeah. But how did Talos get captured in the first place?" Tracey asked.
"Someone must have stolen Talos from one of Aether's labs or something like that." Volkner said.
"It's a good thing that we saved Talos before more poachers showed up." Ashlyn said.
"Yeah." Volkner agreed.
"Well, we'll think about that later. You have a match tomorrow, Ashlyn." Misty remembered.
"Right." Ashlyn said, "I'm going to train with my Pokémon before I go to bed, okay?"
"Okay." Tracey understood.
"But don't stay up too late." Volkner warned.
"Don't worry, I won't." Ashlyn assured her friends.
=====================================
The next day, it was finally time for Ashlyn to face off against Drake. Lots of people had turned up to watch the battle and all the seats of Pummelo Stadium were all full. Volkner, Flint, Misty and Tracey were in the seats as well.
"Welcome Pokémon fans! Pummelo Stadium is pulsing with excitement, as we get set for the first Orange League Competition season!"
Drake Yuuji entered the stadium.
"And here is Drake Yuuji, the Leader of the Orange Crew and undefeated Pummelo Island Gym Leader!"
The crowd cheered.
Ashlyn entered the stadium with Tesla on her shoulder, she walked towards the center of the stadium.
"Opposing him from Pallet Town, Ashlyn Ketchum, for those who don't know her, Ashlyn is the Champion of the Indigo Plateau and consider the youngest champion winner at the age of 11."
The crowd cheered again.
"And she hopes to end Drake's winning streak, so she can earn herself the winner's trophy and place herself in the Orange League, Hall of Fame!"
Both Drake and Ashlyn were at the center of the stadium, facing one of another.
Both Gym Leader and Challenger shook hands.
"The trainers begin with a traditional hand shake."
"Welcome to the Pummelo Gym Ashlyn and the Orange League Winners Trophy Competition." Drake greeted.
"Pleasure to meet you, Drake." Ashlyn greeted back.
"You must be a very strong trainer to have gotten this far. Are you ready for this battle?" Drake asked.
"Yes I am." Ashlyn replied.
"This is a full 6-on-6 full Pokémon Battle, when three of either Pokémon trainers are unable to battle, their will be a Field Change." The referee explained the rules.
Ashlyn nodded, then she heard some mechanisms noise coming from behind her, she turned around and spotted the field changing. The battle arena had lots of rocks and a small pool.
"The battle will begin on a Rock and Water field."
"This winner trophy match is about to begin. So choose your Pokémon and good luck to you both." The referee said.
"And now we'll see which Pokémon the trainers shall choose, an important decision should give us an idea what their opponents are planning."
DING! The crowd cheered.
"I hope this one makes a good impression." Drake sent out his first Pokémon.
"Ditto Ditto." The transform Pokémon said, appearing on the field.
Ashlyn knew about Ditto and its ability to transform into any Pokémon and copying their attacks.
"Orange Crew, Drake has made Ditto his first choice. Transform is one Ditto's technique but this Pokémon turns its opponent strength into it's own. Which can be devastating."
"This may be tricky," Ashlyn said, "but even this won't get me down. Romulus, let's go!" She released her Dusk Form Lyncanroc onto the battle arena, ready to fight.
"And Ashlyn has chosen her Dusk Form Lycanroc. This form is a newly discovered form of Lycanroc. This is going to be an interesting battle to see!"
"Ditto Transform." Drake commanded.
Ditto transformed into a Dusk form Lycanroc.
"Ditto has transformed in Lycanroc is its Dusk Form."
"Romulus, Scary Face." Ashlyn commanded.
Romulus made a scary face which frightened Ditto from moving.
"Now use Sword Edge!"
Romulus howled and multiple light-blue swords circle around him. The swords stopped and point towards him, end first, before disappearing. A red aura then burst from the ground underneath him, before a lighter-colored red aura goes upwards along his body, boosting his attack power. Then he stood up on his hind legs and an orange aura surrounds his body. He then slammed its front paws onto the ground, causing multiple jagged light blue stones to come out of the ground, moving toward Ditto.
The attack slammed into Ditto which sent it flying across the field.
"Roc!" Ditto cried out.
"Ditto!" Drake called out.
Ditto then stood back up, ready for Drake's next attack.
"Okay Ditto, use Agility!" Drake ordered.
Ditto ran towards Romulus.
"Romulus, Storm Drill!" Ashlyn countered.
Romulus spun his tail around and summoned a whirl wind of sand around himself, blinding Ditto. Then Romulus burst out of the sand and rammed Ditto. Romulus had used the Drill Run attack which sent Ditto flying across the field. Ditto tried to get up.
"Don't let Ditto recover! Use Agility Combat!"
Romulus ran fast towards Ditto who was still trying to get up and then started to use various of kicks combo and the final kick, sent the transform Pokémon flying backwards, crashing into the ground.
"Ditto..." Copy Lycanroc glowed before reconverting back to the transform Pokémon, who is unconscious with swirling eyes, "Di-Ditt-o..."
"Ditto is unable to battle!" The referee raised the green flag, "Lycanroc is the winner!" He declared.
"The first battle goes to the challenger, Ashlyn Ketchum and Lycanroc."
Romulus howled at his victory.
====================================
"That was amazing," Tracey awed, "I've never seen combo moves like that before."
"Neither have I." Misty said
"Ashlyn is full of surprises." Flint stated.
"It was a real clever way to defeat Ditto." Volkner commented.
"I bet Drake didn't see that coming." Tracey added.
======================================
Drake recalled back his Ditto, "Thanks Ditto." He said, he held out another Pokéball, "Hope your ready for the next Pokémon. Because this next one is going to rock you!" He sent out the rock snake Pokémon.
"Roarrr!" Onix roared out.
"For his second Pokémon, Drake has chosen Onix. Now how will Ketchum response?"
"Romulus return." Ashlyn recalled back her male Wolf Pokémon, "Well, this one is going to surprise everyone. Chrystal, I choose you!" She sent out the crystal snake Pokémon.
"Roar!" Chrystal roared as she appeared on the field.
Everyone who was watching this froze in shock and jaw dropped.
"Wow! Are you seeing what I'm seeing folks! That is an Onix and that Onix is made out of Crystal! Unbelievable!"
Even Onix was surprise to see another Onix made out of Crystal.
Both Onix's roared at each other, ready to battle.
"A real live Crystal Onix." Drake said, amazed, "Onix use Rock Throw."
Onix summoned rocks around itself and threw them towards the other Onix.
"Water Gun." Ashlyn countered.
Chrystal drew in her breath.
"What?" Drake's eyes widened.
Chrystal fired Water Gun hits each of the Rock Throw, hitting it away and the water continued and it hit the rock snake Pokémon, who roared out in pain.
"Unbelievable folks! Crystal Onix just used a Water-type attack is that even possible?"
"Seems like this is going to be even more difficult now, were at a disadvantage." Drake said, after hearing that, "Onix use Iron Tail!"
"Chrystal, Iron Tail as well." Ashlyn said.
Both rock and crystal snake Pokémon tails glowed metallic color and slammed against each other like sword, either is backing down.
"Look at them go! Iron Tail against Iron Tail!"
Both Onix's roared at each other and then slammed one more Iron Tail, making both Pokémon skated backwards, they continued to glare at each other.
"Hydro Pump!" Chrystal launched a Hydro Pump attack towards the rock snake Pokémon.
"Dig!" Onix drove into the ground, avoiding the Hydro Pump attack.
"Another, into the hole." The crystal snake Pokémon immediately launched another Hydro Pump into the hole where the rock snake went.
"Onix get out!" Drake exclaimed.
But it was too late, the Hydro Pump hit Onix that was underground, forcing it out and cried out in pain.
"Roar!" Onix growled one more time before it collapsed onto the ground with swirling eyes.
"Onix is unable to battle!" The referee raised the green flag, "Crystal Onix is the winner!"
"And that's the second defeat for Drake."
"Onix return now." Drake recalled back his fallen rock snake Pokémon, to its Pokéball. "Well Ashlyn, so far you've been two of my Pokémon." Drake said and held up a Pokéball, "But this time you don't stand a ghost of a chance." Then he released the Pokémon which turned out to be a Gengar.
"Gengar." The shadow Pokémon grinned.
"A Gengar." Ashlyn said.
"Drake has chosen the Ghost and Poison-type Pokémon, Gengar."
"Thanks Chrystal, return." Ashlyn recalled back her crystal snake Pokémon. "Mani, I choose you!"
"Umbreon!" Mani appeared, glittering and ready to battle.
"Wow! Ketchum has chosen a Shiny Umbreon, a Dark-Type Eeveelution for her third Pokémon. This Pokémon can only be found in the Johto Region."
"Gengar use Shadow Ball!"
"Intercepted that with your own, Mani."
Both Pokémon launched a Shadow Ball at each other and the attack, canceled each other out.
"Gengar, Shadow Sneak."
"Gengengen!" The shadow Pokémon snickers and then fades into the rocky ground, disappearing.
Mani kept his guard up as he waited for Gengar to reappear.
"Use Brick Break." Drake called out.
Gengar laughed as it reappeared behind Mani with its claws glowing.
"Use Iron Tail to intercept it." Ashlyn countered.
Mani's tail glowed metallic color immediately and then slammed it against the Brick Break attack, he put more power into the attack, he spun, deflecting the Brick Break and then slammed an Iron Tail on Gengar's stomach.
"GENGAR!" It cried out in pain.
Drake's eyes widened, "Gengar, Focus Blast!" He called out.
"Hidden Power."
The shadow Pokémon fired a white blast towards the shiny moonlight Pokémon who destroyed the blast with Hidden Power.
"Look at these two Pokémon go! Either are giving an inch up!"
Both Pokémon glared at each other with their red eyes.
"Mani, Psychic and then Snarl!" Ashlyn ordered.
Mani's eyes turned blue and a blue outline appeared around the shadow Pokémon and it was pulled down.
Gengar panicked as it was pulled to the ground.
"Oh no." Drake said, "Gengar try and break free."
The shadow Pokémon struggled to break free of the Psychic attack.
"Uh oh, this could be trouble for Drake's Gengar. It's trapped by Umbreon's Psychic attack."
Mani formed a black ball of energy with black sparks on it in his mouth and hurls it at Gengar.
"Gen? GENGAR!" Gengar cried in pain when the attack hit it.
"Gengar!" Drake called out.
Gengar slowly got up. It slightly winced as it tried to stand.
"Quick use Dark Pulse!" Ashlyn ordered.
Mani fired multiple black orbs of energy with a purple outline from in front of his head at Gengar with rainbow rings surrounding the black orbs as he fired.
"GENGAR!" Gengar cried out in pain as the attack hit and it collapsed on the ground with swirling eyes.
"Gengar is unable to battle!" The referee raised the green flag, "Umbreon is the winner!"
"Gengar return." Drake recalled back his fallen Pokémon back to his Pokéball, "Great work. You deserve a good rest." He looked at Ashlyn who was petting the shiny moonlight Pokémon, "You're quite the unpredictable trainer, Ashlyn."
"Thank you." Ashlyn smiled.
"This is the first time that a challenger has knocked out three of Drake's Pokémon in a row."
The referee crossed his arms, "Time out for the field change." He announced.
"In the winner's trophy competition, whenever three of either trainers Pokémon are defeated, the field is changed." The field moved, "Now both these trainers will have to adapt, come up with new battle strategies."
==========================================
Ashlyn was having a breather on the bench with Volkner, Flint, Misty and Tracey.
"You're doing great, Ashlyn." Volkner handed Ashlyn a bottle of water. Then she took a long sip of it.
"I agree with Volkner." Tracey agreed.
"Only another three Pokémon to beat." Flint said.
"How are you feeling?" Misty asked.
"Well a six on six Pokémon battle is more hard work than I thought." Ashlyn replied.
"Don't forget, Drake still has his ace." Volkner warned.
"Dragonite." Ashlyn said.
"It'll be tough to beat. But I know you have your ace up your sleeve, right?" Flint asked.
"Yup." Ashlyn replied.
=======================================
"The new field is moving into place and the trainers are set for action."
"This time, the opponents will be dueling on a sandy desert-like field."
DING!
The crowd cheered.
"There's the bell to start the second half of the full six-on-six winner trophy's battle!"
Drake had a Pokéball in his hand, ready.
"Drake the undefeated Orange League Champion, has just three Pokémon left."
"I choose you, Venusaur." Drake sent out the seed Pokémon.
"Venusaur." The seed Pokémon said.
"Drake has chosen Venusaur, who has won many battles here in the past."
"I'll go with Toucannon. Let's go!" She released her cannon Pokémon.
"Toucannon!" Toucannon screeched out when he came out, flapping his wings.
"Ketchum's fourth Pokémon is Toucannon. A Pokémon you can only find in the Alola Region."
"Venusaur use Leaf Storm!" The seed Pokémon sent a storm, tornado of leaves towards the bird Pokémon.
"Use Heat Wave and then Flame Charge!" Ashlyn ordered.
Toucannon flapped his wings, creating an orange gust of heat that headed towards Leaf Storm. The heat made the leaves turn to ashes. Then Toucannon's shape was outlined in red flames and he tackled Venusaur to the side.
"Saur!" Venusaur cried out in pain.
"Venusaur!" Drake called out.
Venusaur shook his head, trying to shake off the effects.
"Sludge Bomb!" The seed Pokémon released blob of sludges from its back.
"Aerial Ace!" Toucannon flew into the air, avoiding the Sludge Bomb attack, he flew at the seed Pokémon and flips in the air, then he became engulfed in streaks of white light, he disappeared before reappearing and hits Venusaur.
"Venusauuurrrr!" It cried out in pain, losing his feet ground as well.
"Venusaur!" Drake exclaimed.
"Don't let Venusaur recover! Toucannon, Brave Bird now!" Ashlyn commanded.
"Touuuu!" The cannon Pokémon flew into the air once more and he flew down towards the panting Venusaur like a missile, his body bursting into flames, he opened up his wings and his body became surround in blue aura and he slammed into the seed Pokémon.
"VENUSAURR!" The seed Pokémon cried out in pain and then collapsed on the ground with swirling eyes. "Saur..."
"Venusaur is unable to battle!" The referee raised the green, "Toucannon is the winner!"
"You heard it fans. The challenger makes a quick defeat of Venusaur and has now defeated four of the Champion's Pokémon."
The crowd cheered.
"Great job, Toucannon." Ashlyn praised her cannon Pokémon.
"Toucannon." Toucannon smiled, he felt the recoil damage from the Brave Bird but ignored it.
Drake recalled Venusaur back to its Pokéball, "You put up a fine battle. Toucannon was too fast." He said, he held out another Pokéball, "Now I choose Electabuzz."
"Electaaa!" The electric Pokémon appeared, with electrical static around its body.
"The atmosphere here is charged and Electabuzz is Drake's fifth Pokémon."
"Toucannon return." Ashlyn returned back her cannon Pokémon to his Pokéball.
"The challenger is changing Pokémon."
"Rai?" Tesla said.
Ashlyn looked down at her partner, "So Tesla, up for a battle?" She asked.
Tesla's ears perked up, "Rai! Rai!" She smiled and jumped to the field. "Raichu!" Her cheeks sparks.
"And Ketchum's fifth Pokémon is Raichu. An Electric-type against Electric-type. Who will win in this match?"
"Electabuzz, Iron Tail!"
"Dodge it and then Iron Tail."
"Electabuzz!" The electric Pokémon's tail glowed metallic color has it ran across the sandy field towards the mouse Pokémon.
"Rai-Rai!" Tesla dodged the Iron Tail before it could hit her and her tail glowed metallic color, she jumped and slammed an Iron Tail onto Electabuzz stomach, making the electric Pokémon slid backwards.
"Elect!" Electabuzz got up and glared at the mouse Pokémon.
"Electabuzz use Fire Punch!" The electric Pokémon charged towards Light with its fist, blazing with flames.
"Dig." Tesla dug into the sandy field, escaping the Fire Punch.
"And Raichu uses Dig a Ground-type move to avoid the Fire Punch. Shocking!?"
Drake's eyes widened in disbelief, "An Electric-type using a Ground-type attack. Electabuzz, stay on guard!" He called out.
"Where is Raichu?"
"Elect?" Electabuzz looked around, everywhere.
"Focus Punch and Iron Tail!" Ashlyn called out.
"Rai-Raichu!" Tesla appeared from below the electric Pokémon and punched it on the chin and she spun her body with her tail glowing metallic color, she slammed her tail onto the stomach of Electabuzz.
"Electabuzzz!" The electric Pokémon slid backwards and it stopped, panting from the attack.
"Electabuzz, you okay?" Drake asked his Pokémon.
Electabuzz nodded, barely, "Elect!" It still able to battle.
"Raichu." Tesla landed in the center of the field.
"Tesla, Electro Ball." Ashlyn said.
Tesla's body becomes surrounded in yellow electricity and multiple yellow sparks come off her body, "Rairairairai Raichu!" All electricity forms a orange-yellow orb of electricity and sparks at the top of her tail, she jumped and flung the orb at the electric Pokémon.
"Focus Blast!" Electabuzz brought its arms together and formed a white blast orb into the center and launched it at the Electro Ball.
"Oho, looks at these two Electric-types go, either are giving an inch up! Attacks against attacks, though Electabuzz is getting tiredly from all the attacks from the Iron Tail."
"Ice Punch!" Electabuzz charged into towards the mouse Pokémon with its fist encased in ice.
"Volt Tackle." Tesla's eyes narrowed and she charged towards the electric Pokémon with her body surrounded in golden electricity, her body looked black and white.
"Electabuzz!" The electric Pokémon reels its fist back and punched the mouse Pokémon.
"Raichu!" Tesla hits head into the Ice Punch.
BOOM!
A massive explosion occurred in the field, dust clouds appeared around the field.
"Oh! And the Volt Tackle from Raichu heads into the Ice Punch from the Electabuzz! We can't see who is still standing from the dust cloud, we'll have to wait."
Drake and Ashlyn both stared at the dust cloud.
Everyone saw two silhouette standing into the dust clouds and as it began to slowly disappear, they saw Electabuzz standing, breathing heavily and sweating, Tesla who stood on her legs and staring at the electric Pokémon, calmly, ignoring the electric sparks appearing before disappearing.
"Elec- Electabuzz." Electabuzz collapsed onto the ground with swirling eyes.
"Electabuzz is unable to battle!" The referee raised the green flag, "Raichu is the winner!"
The crowd cheered.
Drake returned his fainted Electabuzz back to its Pokéball, "Good work Electabuzz." He said.
"Raichu Rai!" Tesla jumped onto her partner's shoulder and nuzzled her, "Raichu!"
Ashlyn smiled, "Good job, Tesla." She said.
"Now Challenger Ashlyn Ketchum is one victory away from the winner's trophy."
=====================================
"Dragonite is the last Pokémon she'll have to face." Volkner stated.
"Yeah." Tracey said.
"But what will she choose?" Flint asked.
"I'm sure that she has the right one." Misty replied.
====================================
"But as we've seen it before, Drake saves the best for last."
Drake pulled the Pokéball off his necklace.
Everyone was silent and eager to see Drake's ace Pokémon.
The Orange League Champion, enlarged the Pokéball, "My last hope." He said, "I choose you..." He tossed the Pokéball in the air.
"Nite." The dragon Pokémon appeared.
"Drake's last Pokémon the Legendary Pokémon Dragonite and if Dragonite goes down, this battle is over."
"Dragonite, huh?" Ashlyn said.
"And now the challenger, which Pokémon will she call out to battle against Dragonite?"
Ashlyn took out a Pokéball and enlarged it, "Natsu, I choose you!" She tossed the Pokéball into the air.
"Char!" The flame Pokémon roared, as he appeared.
"A Shiny Charizard." Drake gasped, surprised to see another shiny Pokémon.
Dragonite and Natsu stared down at each other both growling, ready to fight.
"And it's a shiny Charizard against Dragonite! You can feel the intense pressure coming from both Pokémon folks!"
"Dragonite use Hydro Pump!" Drake started off.
"Overheat." Ashlyn countered.
Both attacks clashed against each other and turned into steam.
"Now, Dragon Pulse!" Natsu launched a blueish/ green orb from his mouth.
"Dodge it!" The dragon Pokémon flew up, avoiding the Dragon Pulse attack, "Now, Ice Beam!" It fires a icy blue beam towards the flame Pokémon on the ground still.
"Absorb the ice with Dragon Claw!" Natsu roared as he took off into the air, charging straight into the Ice Beam and he used his Dragon Claw, absorbing the attack, his greenish claw became blueish white and he charged forwards with it.
"Dragon Claw!" Dragonite roared out as well, he charged in with his greenish claws.
Both claws struck each other and they flew in the air, attacking non-stop.
"Incredible! Just look at those two Pokémon go! Claw against Claw!"
Drake started to smile, "Finally. Dragonite, Dragon Dance and Dragon Rush!" He shouted.
The dragon Pokémon attack and speed was increased, it flew backwards and its body was surrounded in blueish flame aura, it charged towards Natsu.
"Dragon Dance as well and Flame Charge!" Ashlyn countered.
The flame Pokémon attack and speed increased, he charged towards Dragonite with his body covered in flames.
"This is going to huge folks!"
And like the announcer said, both attack hits each other, causing a massive explosion.
BOOM!
Two growls were heard from the smoke. As the smoke began to disappear, showed Dragonite and Natsu, in mid-air, growling and snarling at each other.
"Iron Tail!" Both trainer shouted out.
Both Pokémon tail glowed metallic and against each other, like swords.
"And they're both at it again! No one is giving up!"
Both Dragonite and Natsu slammed one more Iron Tail before, landing back on their trainers' side, glaring and fangs.
"Hey Drake!" Ashlyn called out, "Do you want to make this match more interesting?"
"Interesting?" Drake called back.
"Have you ever gone against a Mega Evolve Charizard?" Ashlyn asked.
"No. I would be honored to go against one." Drake replied.
"Alright then, wish granted," Ashlyn pulled out her Key Stone necklace from under her shirt. Then she placed two fingers on the Key Stone as it glowed.
The Mega Stone on Ashlyn's Shiny Charizard's necklace glowed.
"Key Stone, let our hearts become one," Ashlyn said, "Go beyond evolution. Mega Evolve!"
Ashlyn's shiny Charizard Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X.
"Mega Evolution." Drake whispered with wide eyes.
"THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING FOLKS! Drake will be going against a Mega Evolved Pokémon! Will Drake's Dragonite be able to defeat Ketchum's Mega Evolved Charizard?"
The crowd roared in cheers.
Both Pokémon prepared themselves to attack each other once again.
"Natsu, Flamethrower!"
"Dragonite, Hydro Pump!"
Both Pokémon launched their attack and the flames were dowse by the water.
"Dragonite, Thunderbolt!"
"Rarghhh!" The dragon Pokémon fired a bolt of electricity towards the mega flame Pokémon.
"Steel Wing!" Ashlyn countered.
"Gragh." Natsu growled as he was hit but quickly Steel Wing and flew down, digging his wing into the ground and the electricity was redirect into the ground.
"Water Pulse!" Dragonite launched a pulse of water towards the mega flame Pokémon.
"Air Slash and use Dragon Rush." Natsu flapped his wings, releasing clear spinning disc towards the rushing Water Pulse, slicing it in half and he drove through the cut water with his body surrounded blue aura.
"Rargh!" Dragonite cried out in pain when the attack hit.
"Dragonite! Quick Dragonite, Thunder Punch!" Drake ordered, quickly.
"Dragon Pulse, close range!" Ashlyn shouted.
The dragon Pokémon grunted and lifted its fist with electricity around it to punch Natsu, but the mega flame Pokémon launches a close range Dragon Pulse from his mouth, hitting Dragonite on the stomach directly.
"Rarghhh!" The mega dragon Pokémon cried out in pain, panting and it was on one knee.
"Dragonite! Dragonite, you oaky?" Drake asked his Pokémon.
"Dragonite use Roost." Drake said.
Dragonite nodded, it closed its eyes and its body began to glow brightly. The mega dragon Pokémon body was slowly healing some of its strengths and after a few seconds, it's eyes snapped opened. Ready to continue battling.
"Nice, Natsu use- What in the world?" Ashlyn looked up immediately, seeing a shadow.
"Hey, wait! What's that up there?!" Drake yelled out.
Everyone else looked up in the air, seeing a Meowth head, hot air balloon flying above the stadium.
"Oh great." Ashlyn muttered.
"Wahahahahahaha!" Team Rocket laughed and in a quick flash, they flung a net over Dragonite and Mega Charizard. "Whahahahahaha!"
"Prepare for trouble!" Jessie started, their motto.
"Make it double." James continued.
"To protect the world from devastation."
"Natsu Flamethrower." Ashlyn cut in.
Natsu fired an orange/red flame, the Flamethrower at Team Rocket's balloon.
"Uh oh!" Meowth paled.
"We should've gotten a attack type proof net!" James said.
"NOW, you say it!" Jessie exclaimed.
BLAST! BOOM!
"TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" Team Rocket shouted, in the distance.
"Well, that was completely out of the ordinary and unexpected event of today... Let the exciting match continue!!"
The crowd cheered loudly.
Ashlyn nodded, "Let's continue of were we left from... Natsu, Fire Dragon Pulse!" She started off.
Charizard growled and his mouth revealed a Dragon Pulse but it was reddish/ orange color with flames flicking around it, he launched the combined attack towards the dragon Pokémon.
Ashlyn remembered reading a fanfic from her previous life that involved Pokémon learning to fuse elements with the Dragon Pulse. It was a real pain, especially learning to controlling your own types when you're in Mega Form because the flames are currently blue. But the effort was well worth it.
"Dragonite use Water Pulse!" Drake countered.
Dragonite launched a Water Pulse towards the Fire Dragon Pulse and both attacks colloid, creating a explosion.
"Dragon Blast!" Natsu roared and launched a blue Fire Blast kanji-like symbol through the smoke.
"RARGHH!" Dragonite roared out in pain, as the super effective attack hits it mark.
"Dragonite!" Drake shouted out as his Pokémon was on one knee and it was panting heavily, breathing fast, "Dragonite, it's now or never. Full power, Hyper Beam!" He shouted.
"Lets end this! Natsu, Blast Burn!" Ashlyn shouted.
"ROAR!" Natsu roared, as his power rose up even more and the temperature rise higher, he punched the ground, causing cracks to stretch all the way to Dragonite Hyper Beam and a explosion, behind it, erupted from bellow.
Both attacks colloid but Blast Burn overpowered the Hyper Beam and headed directly towards the exhausted Dragonite.
BOOM! Creating a massive explosion.
The referee, Drake and Ashlyn stood their ground as the shockwave occurred.
"INCREDIBLE! The attack from Hyper Beam and Blast Burn collided, creating a massive explosion and we can't see which Pokémon is still standing! We have to wait and see folks!"
The dust cloud started to fade away, slowly.
The clear dust cloud reveals two Pokémon glaring at each other.
Dragonite had burn marks on its body, it was panting and breathing heavily.
Mega Charizard X growled at the dragon Pokémon in front of him.
"A stare down... Who will collapse first?"
"... Owwrrr..." Dragonite closed its eyes and collapsed onto the ground with swirling eyes.
The referee raised the green flag, "Dragonite is unable to battle!" He pointed the flag in the challenger direction, "The winner of this competition is Ashlyn Ketchum!"
The crowed cheered.
"The challenger wins the match! The challenger wins the match! The challenger wins the match!" The announcer repeated.

"Hooray! Ashlyn!" Flint shouted out.
"Way to go!" Tracey yelled.
"Another Competition won." Volkner smiled.
"Raichu!!" Raichu smiled, clapping with his paws.
====================================
"Raichu!" Tesla smiled.
"ROARRRR!" Natsu blew out flames, happily before he converted back to his original form.
"Way to go! We won!" Ashlyn cheered.
Ashlyn and Tesla ran over to Natsu and hugged him as he returned the hug.
"Dragonite, return." Drake recalled back his fallen Pokémon, "We found a worthy opponent. I'm very proud of you." He smiled at the Pokéball.
====================================
Ashlyn and all six of her Pokémon she used in the Orange League battle were all out and standing around her on a platform.
"Ashlyn Ketchum has beaten the undefeated Orange Crew Champion! Earning herself a place of honor in the Orange Island, Hall of Fame and the winner's trophy!"
Drake handed over the Orange League Trophy and Ashlyn took it.
"You really deserve that trophy Ashlyn, congratulations. You're a excellent Pokémon trainer." Drake praised.
"Thanks a lot Drake. I have great Pokémon." Ashlyn smiled.
"Roar!" Natsu roared out.
"Roc!" Romulus barked.
"Umbreon." Mani nodded.

"Rai!" Tesla smiled.
Ashlyn laughed, "You're right."
Drake smiled.
