Chương 163: Youth cup-7
Author note:
I am losing motivation to continue this arc so I am going to end this by the next chapter and continue with Aoki's adventures.
***********
A few days later, it was time for the semi-finals of the youth cup.
Just like the last rounds, the friends Steven and Diantha made in the last few days helped them to train against the monsters they would face.
Cynthia didn't need anyone to help her as she was busy finding out the limits of her newly reached champion, Garchomp.
Aoki, Misty, and Sabrina had disappeared, making everyone think that the two girls were helping him train, but he was enjoying a vacation at the beach with the two beauties.
All of his Pokemon got a three-day break from training for relaxing too.
The hatred of Axew for Aoki decreased a bit after knowing that if he impressed Aoki, he could visit his family with Darkrai's ability.
Gyarados wanted to fly in the oceans of Unova so he let him be while Salamence, Charizard, Pidgeot, and Aerodactyl went on a flying trip all over Unova.
Aoki didn't think they would be in any danger so he was not worried.
Nidoking and Victreebel stayed in the White forest for brawling with wild Pokemon and understanding nature respectively.
********
Aoki stepped into the battlefield with a relaxed smile on his face while Steven stood opposite to him with a confident smile.
"We are finally having a fight, Steven.
Don't hate me if you lose" Aoki said, taking out a Pokeball.
"Sure, I would not hate you…if you win that is" Steven replied.
"Confident are we? Let's see if you hold up to that confidence in battle" Aoki said, releasing his lineup.
Pidgeot, Charizard, Aerodactyl, Salamence, Celfable, and Nidoking appeared on the battlefield and took their stance.
The appearance of a rare Pokemon like Aerodactyl made the audience reach a new level of excitement.
Although Steven cursed inside his head he still didn't change his expression and released his team; Claydol, Aggron, Cradily, Elite rank Skarmory, Elite rank Armaldo, and his ace Shiny Metagross.
Steven was at a huge disadvantage against Aoki's Pokemon as most of them were capable of using fire-type moves.
Moreover, four of them could fly making it very difficult for everyone except Skarmory to attack the opponent.
Steven knew that he could not win against Aoki but he had to at least take down a few Pokemon of Aoki or else all the hard work he put in would be for nothing.
The match began with Nidoking immediately dashing toward Aggron as he was in the front.
All of Steven's Pokemon could use earthquakes but Clefable used Gravity to lift up Nidoking as he smashed Aggron with Fire Blast.
Aoki's Pokemon who were in the sky dived down one by one selecting one of Steven's Pokemon as their target.
Although Aoki could command his Pokemon to use fire-type moves to end quickly, he wants to show Steven that he would defeat him without using type advantage moves.
Not even a minute passed and Claydol, Cradily, and Aggron were eliminated by Clefable, Aerodactyl, and Nidoking.
The battle went on for another minute with Steven trying his best but unable to do anything as Aoki's Pokemon kept thrashing his Pokemon.
Teamwork, power, speed….in almost every aspect Aoki's Pokemon were superior to him.
His Skarory lost to the rematch with Pidgeot while his Armaldo lost to the combination of Charizard and Clefable.
Aoki throughout the match had blocked every single strategy he had thought of.
Sandstorm strategy? Aoki's Pokemon would just blow it away.
Mass earthquake strategy, none of Aoki's Pokemon would touch the ground.
Defensive play? Aoki's Pokemon had too much destruction power for that to work.
"I was saving this for the finals but whatever…..
Since I am losing here, I would at least take one of your Pokemon down. " Steven said as his armband started to glow in a golden light that spread to his entire body.
Metagross too started glowing in a golden light as Steven moved his hand to do a weird posture.
Some elite four and professors had the idea of what Steven was trying to do but were surprised to see it here nonetheless.
The stadium went quiet as almost no one had any idea of what Steven was doing.
Steven was about to use a Z-move. It was something completely unexpected to Aoki since the Alola region was recently added to the league alliance.
"Z MOVE!!
METAGROSS USES SHATTERED PSYCHE"
A purple energy blast of psychic energy shot out of Metagross towards Aoki's Pokemon.
The power of the energy reached champion rank and could potentially take out any of Aoki's Pokemon if it hits.
"Salamence stop holding back and use Hyper beam " Aoki commanded as Salamence's champion-level energy covered the entire field.
The league office Alfred and Agatha had a smile sensing Salamence's Champion-level energy.
"Hah! This guy is a menace!" Alfred commented.
Boom!
Hyper beam of Salamence and Metagross's Z move- Shattered Psyche clashed resulting in an ear-shattering explosion and shockwave.
The audience closed their eyes and ears to protect themselves from the bright light and sound.
Clefable used her powers to create a barrier to protect everyone while Aoki created a barrier made of Dark Aura for himself.
Agatha's Gengar immediately dragged Steven to its Shadows as the ground developed deep cracks destroying the battlefield.
Steven could be harmed if he stayed there.
As everything calmed down, Metagross could be seen lying outside the field fainted while smoke was still rising from the champion rank Salamence's mouth who was still unharmed.
Steven was extremely disappointed in finding that he could not even take down at least one of Aoki's Pokemon even after using Z-move.
One thing was confirmed, for his future and status, Steven had to get Aoki on his side.
Aoki Gunhildr won the round without losing a single Pokemon yet again and now would be competing in the finals.
Cynthia from the audience clenched her fists seeing Aoki too having a champion-level Pokemon.
************
Due to his battlefield being destroyed, everyone had to be shifted to the next stadium for the match between Cynthia and Diantha to happen.
Although it was an inconvenience, the excitement from the last battle made people forget about the problem.
Z-move
Something so fascinating appeared in the world and made people cheerful more than ever.
A lot of trainers now wanted to perform a Z move too.
Another thing that set up a storm was Aoki's champion-level Salamence.
Cynthia was no longer the only trainer to have a champion-level Pokemon.
After three hours when everyone had adjusted themselves the match between Cynthia and Diantha started.
Just as most people thought Cynthia with her Champion level Garchomp won the match by only losing three of her Pokeom to Diantha.
Now only the last match remains…
The Finals
Aoki Gunhildr vs Cynthia Shirona for the title of the winner of the youth cup.
