Chapter 81 - Clash of Dragons!

"The unexpected have happened! Shigeru's Alakazam have been eliminated as well! And here I thought that Shigeru could have made a clean victory with a score of 3-0 against this unknown Trainer named Rize! It looks like Rize is not your everyday ordinary Trainer after all! What an interesting round 1!"

"Your luck ends now you Hoenn boy! You've made me serious now!" Shigeru took out an Ultra Ball ready to send out his next Pokemon to battle. "Meet my Ace! Dragonite! Go!" Shigeru threw the Ultra Ball into the air and a harmless looking Dragon Pokemon came out. Its size was about as big as Rize's Charizard.

"Dragonite the Dragon Pokemon. It is a Dragon and Flying type Pokemon and the evolved form of Dragonair.

It is said to make its home somewhere in the sea. It guides crews of shipwrecks to shore."

"It looks harmless from its expression but somehow I can feel that it possesses dangerous mystical power in it. Furthermore this is Shigeru's special Pokemon! Charizard we gotta be on our extra cautious guard!"

"Charizard use your Dragon Breath!" Rize attacked first before they are attacked.

But Shigeru once again didn't give any command to his Pokemon and Dragonite was hit by Dragon Breath. Oops, it's true that the attack was successful but it didn't actually hit Dragonite with clean hit as Light Screen was effect was still on and protected it from the Charizard's attack.

"What?!"
"Hahaha! You're hopeless! Our turn now! Dragonite use Dragon Claw!

Dragonite flapped its wing and dashed to strike Charizard with its shining puny little claws but Rize commanded Charizard to dodge and Charizard, being faster in speed than Dragonite was able to avoid the attack.

"You got Light Screen I got Speed! Doesn't matter the Light Screen it will wore out soon! Another Dragon Breath!"

Once again Dragonite was being protected by the Light Screen but of course it still took damage by half of it.

"Speed eh? I wonder about that.." Shigeru smiled sarcastically towards Rize. "Dragon Dance now!"

Dragonite started to perform some kind of dance like ritual and it began to glow in strength as it continued its dance.

"What is it doing? Dancing?" Rize have no idea what was Dragonite doing, dancing like a fool.

"Dragon Dance is a move that increased a Pokemon's attack and speed! But just knowing about it won't help you a thing tough!" As he speaks, Dragonite finished its dance moves and Shigeru commanded it to attack.

"Thunder Punch! Go!"

Dragonite charged electricity power on its right palm and dashed with incredible speed much faster than it was before and flew towards Charizard to land its attack. Rize, being shocked with Dragonite's speed quickly commanded Charizard to intercept the attack with Dragon Breath but as Light Screen was still in effect, the Dragon Breath was held by it and Dragonite was still able to move forward and hit Charizard with a super-effective Thunder Punch on Charizard's face.

Charizard lost its balance and fell down from the sky falling down to the pool of water that Rize have created himself.

"Charizard! Snap out of it! Fly up back!!" Rize screamed, fright of his Charizard fell to the water and knocked out.

Charizard listened and very close before it entered the water, it flatten its wing and hold itself in mid-air, flapped its wing and flew back up to the sky battle arena.

"Oh yeah, I just figured out a very suited way to crush you. That is to burry you on the very grave you've made on your own! Hahaha! Dragonite go and charged Charizard and drag it to the water pool below!"

"Oh no you don't! Intercept with Dragon Breath!"

Charizard fire another breath of dreadful dragon power to the charging Dragonite and this time it successfully hit Dragonite and inflicted much damage that pushed Dragonite back and even fell to the water as the Light Screen effect have finally wore out.

"What a splendid Dragon Breath from Charizard! Now that Light Screen's effect is no longer in effect, how will Shigeru responded to this situation?!" The commentator still not forgetting his role to comment on the battle and made the battle lively.

"Dragonite! Stay in the water until I command you to attack! Observe Charizard from below the water and aim on it well and prepare to strike when you heard my command!"

Dragonite stayed under water while Charizard was clueless as it didn't know when will its attack coming from.

"Calm down Rize! Relax, stay focus!" Rize reminding himself to stay calm on the situation.

"Thunder Punch!"

Immediately after Shigeru shouted its command, Dragonite came out from the water surface with a big splash and attack Charizard with Thunder Punch with a great speed. However, Charizard saw through it and dodged the punch with a few inches away and distanced itself from Dragonite to a safer zone.

"Dive back to the water Dragonite!"

Dragonite then dived back to the water and hide there and wait for its next command.

"You coward! Come out from there and fight like a man!"
"Huhuhu, as long as I win I don't care what you say. My Dragonite surely have the advantage here as it can fly on the air and dive in the water while your Charizard can only stay on the air as there is no land to set foot on. Thunder Punch! Go!"

Dragonite flew out from the water and punched Charizard directly on its face with Thunder Punch.

"Grab it and carry it to the water!"
"Dragon Breath!"

Dragonite grabbed Charizard's arm and intended to carry it together with it inside the water but Charizard fired a close range Dragon Breath to its face and it hid itself back in the water.

"That was close.."
"Tch! This is bad. Charizard have been taking too much damage, it won't survive another couple of attacks from Dragonite!"
"Your Charizard's not looking good, it looks like it will fell down by itself to the pool of water by its own anytime hahaha."
"We gotta get him out from the water!"
"How will Trainer Rize deal with Shigeru's trick of hiding inside the water that Rize created by himself?"

Just then, Rize thought of something that might work on to drag Dragonite out of the water.
"I don't know if this will work but I just have to try! Charizard use Blast Burn to the water pool!"

Charizard gathered fire power and store it on its mouth, its whole body glowed flashing with crimson colour and the fire on its tail tip grew gigantically and burns extremely hot. It fired its most powerful fire attack to the water pool and created a huge explosion on the pool.

"What the! That move again! What is that crazy move?!"

Water vapors and steam was produced as a result from the explosion and..

"What happened to Dragonite?? Did Charizard's attack managed to score some point??"

When the smokes and steams have cleared up and vanished to the sky, the pool of water was gone. The water have all evaporated to the sky and Dragonite was found standing on the land with its foot with some bruises.

"What! The Water's gone!"
"What a surprise! Rize once again changed the whole battlefield and not only that, it looks like Dragonite took quite an amount of damage from that previous attack. If it is not from the protection of the water, Dragonite might be instantly knocked out!! Now that the water's clear, Charizard can give its wing some rest and land on its foots"

Charizard came down from the sky and landed on the ground and took some rest as it cannot move for a moment due to the side effect from Blast Burn.

"Heh! It works better than I expected. How's that! The water's clear and you have nowhere to hide anymore coward!"

"Fool! You only make me mad! Dragonite go Thunder Punch!"

As Charizard was not able to move, Dragonite successfully landed its Thunder Punch attack on its belly and it fell down haplessly laying on the ground.

"Stand up Charizard! Get back up!"
"Don't give mercy! Dragonite fly up high!"

Dragonite flew up high to the sky and stopped mid-air, leaving Rize with wonder and curiosity of what it's going to do. He thought that he would not give Charizard a chance to recover and keep attacking but what is it doing on the sky making itself far away from Charizard.

"Huhuhu, finish it. Draco Meteor!!"
"Oh no!!"

Dragonite charged and fired a ball of energy out from its mouth towards the battle arena below. The energy ball burst and countless energy blasts began showering from the sky like meteors.

"Charizard try your best to dodge!"

Charizard just got enough energy to got back up on its feet and saw that a rain of energy blasts of Draco Meteor came upon to shower him and was shocked and could not move its body due to the pressure it felt and it was hit terribly by the Draco Meteor as the energy blasts showered upon it and great was the explosion.

"What a tragic things for Charizard! Is it knocked out or can it still continue to battle?!"

The crowd was curious and was silent upon waiting for the smokes and dirt from the explosion to clear up. Dragonite landed back to the ground and the smokes from the explosion was cleared. Charizard was found
to be laying down on the ground unconscious, thus making it out from the battle as the referee made its call and Charizard's picture on the battle board was turned off and marked with a red cross.

"Charizard no!" Rize was shocked to find that his trump card was defeated.
"Hahaha! Go cry to your mama Hoenn boy! Hahaha!"

Shigeru kept laughing over his victory and the whole stadium shouted and cheered for him as well.

"Its finish.. it was such a bad fortune to meet Shigeru on the first round." Satoshi spoke to himself as he watched the battle from the TV in his room.

"Now Trainer Rize have only one Pokemon left! What Pokemon will he summon next?! And do he still have a chance to win this first round from Shigeru?!"

Chapter 80 - Battle Field

"Wow! Look at that dear Pokemon fans! Rize's Gyarados got up and still in the match! We gotta admit it must be so well trained that it could survive such powerful Electric attack!" said the commentator after checking on Gyarados's condition.

"Not bad for surviving that Thunder Bolt." Shigeru said in a teasing tone.

"Good job Gyarados!" Rize complimented his Gyarados for getting back up in the match, however, he's still not in a good situation and need to think of something fast to deal with Shigeru and his seemingly untouchable Alakazam.


"What should I do?! None of our attacks will ever reach them like this!" Rize started to shake and spinned his head, trying to come out with something for a counter attack. "If only I got some more time to think!"

"If you're not going to attack, I'm going to finish you."

"Tch! Gyarados Hyper Beam!"

Gyarados charged an amount of energy in its mouth and launched a scarlet coloured flash beam attack towards Alakazam in an incredible speed. However, just like before, Shigeru commanded his Alakazam to dodge with its Teleport and so it did. Gyarados' Hyper Beam attack landed on the battlefield destroying the smooth surface of the battlefield become a mess with cracks and wholes.

"Fool! Your Gyarados now need to recharge for a moment and can't move! It will be like a sitting duck waiting to be persecuted! Alakazam Thunder Bolt finish it go!"

"Crap! I won't let you! Gyarados get back!" Rize quickly took Gyarados' Pokeball from his belt, enlarged it, and put Gyarados back into its ball safely before Alakazam could attack with its dangerous Thunder Bolt attack. Rize knew that if Gyarados took another hit of that Thunder Bolt, it won't survive.

"Get a quick rest in there. I will be needing you again later." Rize talked to Gyarados while grabbing its Pokeball infront of him.

"What a wise decision by Rize to switch Pokemon! Now what will he brings out against Shigeru's superior Alakazam??"

"Come on! I'm confident that I can finish all three of your Pokemon with just my Alakazam." Shigeru boasted once more.

"Change of plan! Time for attacks from above, aerial attacks!" Rize reached to his belt and took one of the Pokeballs attached to it, enlarged it and threw it to the battlefield releasing his next Pokemon. "Charizard, go! Into the air!"

"So it's Charizard, eh? It won't do you any difference.."

Charizard immediately flapped its wing and float on the sky just as Rize have commanded it to.

"I gotta think out of the box and do something unusual if I would to win against an opponent as strong as he is! Charizard, use Dragon Breath!"

Charizard exhaled a terrific breath of heat consist of mystical dragon power in it that is going towards Alakazam. But ofcourse, as usual, Shigeru commanded to dodge every single attack with Teleport and so does Alakazam do as he commanded.

"Kept firing your Dragon Breath till I told you to stop!"

Charizard, not knowing what's his Trainer's objective could only to trust on his master and do as he commanded. Alakazam then dodged every single one of Charizard's Dragon Breath.

"It looks like Trainer Rize have no plan or strategy at all and just mindlessly attack straight forward hoping that he will hit the jackpot one day!"

"Is he mad? I guess he's just a desperate no brainer!" Claimed Shigeru. But little do he know what is Rize was up to all these times, until..

After countless attacks of Dragon Breath from Charizard from the air, the battlefield have been torn and messed up in that there are holes and cracks everywhere. The battlefield is no longer clean and smooth. The wholes was already as big as the battlefield itself  that the whole battlefield was a big hole arena.

Charizard still continue on its assaults and suddenly Alakazam tripped after it landed on a new ground after its Teleportation, thus making it lost focus by a split second to dodge Charizard's continuous attacks. However..

"What?! Crap! Alakazam Light Screen quick!" Shigeru responded to the situation as fast as lightning and thus Alakazam successfully used Light Screen and reduced Dragon Breath's damage to half.

"Whoops!! By a slight effect of the destroyed and rocky surfaced battlefield, Charizard's Dragon Breath attack finally succeeded onto making impact to Alakazam but sadly there is Light Screen and thus Alakazam barely felt anything from it! Shigeru is indeed a prodigy in battle!" The crowds get even more excited and heated up and the cheer gets even louder.

"Hahaha! Even tough your attack can finally reach me by luck, I still have more ways to protect Alakazam from you! How are you going to deal with me now that Light Screen have come into effect? Hahaha!"

"Light Screen huh?" Rize grinned. "Alright Charizard stop! Return to your ball now!" Rize put back his Charizard into its Pokeball.

"Woooaaa!! Just when he finally made some progress, Rize put his Charizard back into its Pokeball! What kind of Pokemon will he switch out next?!" The commentator is heating up the battle with his comments.

"What is he up to now?" Shigeru started to be curious, wondering of what is Rize's intention and next step.

"Gyarados get back!" Rize sent forth his Gyarados into battle once again.

"Ohhh Gyarados made its second appearance! It looks like it is slightly better in shape now that it have rested for a while in that comfy Pokeball."

"Your Alakazam is very impressive! It have been avoiding all of my attacks using Teleport all these time and it is not even showing any sign of lost of breath! You must have trained it extremely well!"

"Ha! Ofcourse! All of my Pokemon go through a very harsh trainings every day! Ohh I see now, your strategy was to make my Alakazam tired and out of energy, then you can attack us all you want is it?! Well sorry! That crappy strategy won't work on us!"

"Is that so? Let's see how long that endurance you're so proud of can last then! Gyarados use Ice Beam!"

Gyarados fired a breath of freezing ice rays to Alakazam and as usual it missed due to Alakazam's Teleport and instead froze the land of the battlefield that was hit by the Ice Beam.

"Keep firing Ice Beam!"
"Fool! It will always be the same no matter how much you try!"

Alakazam dodged every single shot of Ice Beam but little do Shigeru knew what was actually happening before his eyes until it was very obvious to everyone in watching the battle.

"Woow!! What is this!! The whole battle field have turned into an Ice battle field! Rize have changed the battle field using his Ice Beam attack! What a strategy! Alakazam can barely stand on the slippery ice now!"

"What?! Impossible! He turned the whole battlefield into Ice!"

"Gyarados return!" Rize returned his Gyarados back into its ball.

"Trainer Rize once again substituted his Pokemon! What do he have in mind now?! Stay alert all Pokemon fans!"

"What now?!" Shigeru started to feel some pressure.

"Charizard back into the air!" Rize sent forth his Charizard and it straight away flew and float on the air following his command.

"Blast Burn from the air into and aim onto the Ice battlefield!"

"Charizard blasted its most powerful fire attack and probably the most powerful Fire type attack there is in the whole world and directed it to the battlefield thus melted the ice into water. Once again the battlefield have changed and this time from ice field to a water field like a swimming pool.

"What an incredible sight we've just saw! The battlefield have now turned from ice skating arena into a swimming pool! Alakazam is drowning!"

"You cheater! Are you out of your mind?!" Shigeru complained to Rize but was totally ignored.

Charizard need to recharge its energy and was unable to move but Rize put it back into its Pokeball to rest.

"Chance! In water Gyarados will have the upper hand! Gyarados! I need you once more! Go finish it now!"

Once again the giant blue dragon looking fish entered the battlefield and this time it can freely move and maximised its agility movement in water.

"Fufufu.. indeed, Gyarados would have the upper hand in water combat. However, do you forgot that water conducts electricity?! Your Gyarados is now a dead duck with no where to escape! Alakazam use Thunder Bolt maximum power!"

"Oh no! Gyarados watch out!"

Alakazam discharged its dangerous electric attack onto the water and the electric current instantly run to the whole water and electrocuted Gyarados. Gyarados screamed in extreme pain and knocked out instantly from the battle.

"Gyarados is unable to battle! Alakazam wins!" The referee made its call and on the score board, Gyarados picture was mark by red cross thus indicating that it is no longer usable in the battle.

"Alakazam use Psychic to levitate yourself and float above the water!"
Alakazam used Psychic and levitated its own body thus it is no longer struggling on water anymore.

"Just when things we thought were going according to Rize's plan, Shigeru again came out having the upper hand with eliminating Rize's Gyarados. And by using its psychic power, Alakazam have no difficulty with the water field. What's Rize next move going to be now?!"

"Am sorry Gyarados. I should have realized such things to come, but you did all you can!" Rize minimized Gyarados' Pokeball and attached it back to his belt and took another Pokeball, enlarged it, ready to send out his next Pokemon.

"Charizard into the air one more time!" Charizard came out and float on the air due to there are no ground to land as the battlefield have turned into a water pool.

"You won't be able to beat us! Light Screen is still in effect and your attack won't be as effective! Hahaha~"

"Is that so? With your Alakazam holding its Psychic attack just to levitate its body the whole time, its energy is being drained every second. Further more it can't attack nor move anywhere now, it have become a delicious duck waiting to be persecuted!"

"Crap!"
"Aerial Ace!"

Charizard flapped its wing and dived gracefully on the air just inches above the water that made the water to splash like a jetboat trail striking the defenseless Alakazam with lightning speed.

Alakazam was hit and fell onto the water knocked out unconscious. The referee called that Alakazam was knocked out and thus the score was even now with each having two Pokemon left. However, Charizard have used up quite alot of its energy and was not in its full power anymore.
