Heyy all, sorry for the break but I'm ready to kick off the final fight before the new stories!

Bold is the commentator, italics is inside the trainers heads and underlined is me oh and the pokedex is bold and italics.

Without further adieu, let's gooo!

A tall, thin young man with ice-blue hair and sky blue eyes stood on the opposite end of the battlefield, he wore a smug grin on his face.

Steven wore a charcoal jacket with two black zig-zag stripes, a white undershirt and a red tie. Steven wore skinny black pants and black shoes with low heels, as well as metallic jewellery on both of his sleeves and his index and ring fingers. A pin with a multicoloured stone residing in it rested on his jacket.

"You're assistance is needed, Aggron!" He broke the silence and threw his first pokeball into the air. The second it opened, his opponent, a girl in her early 20's, threw out her first pokemon too.

Her emerald green eyes sparkled elegantly as her first pokemon practically tore the pokeball open, eager to fight.

"Aggrooon!" Aggron stood battle ready, the pokemon was primarily black with plates of silver-colored armor. The armor on its head had two pairs of holes with horns protruding from the front holes.

Megan held up her pokedex, allowing the monotone voice to tell her something new.

"Aggron, the thick iron pokemon and the final form of aaron. It claims an entire mountain as its own territory. It mercilessly beats up anything that violates its environment. This Pokémon vigilantly patrols its territory at all times"

Fighting heavy metal with heavy metal Megan though to herself quietly. Her Bastiodon looked back at her and then back towards Aggron.

Its dark gray, square head resembled a castle wall, complete with four cream yellow, window-like spots with a black outline, three dark gray spikes on the top, and two larger gray spikes in the upper corners. Behind its large, flat head was a small, thick body which was further protected by a gray ridge and dark gray plates on its back, jagged growths on its legs, and a plated tail.

"Two pokemon who're good at defense and offence but slow in speed! How fast will they fall? Get it?"

The arena remained silence

The commentator cleared his throat,"fine then. Commence" He then whispered under his breath

The crowd cheered, mixed messages flew above the heads of the two competing trainers, some cheered for Steven, some cheered for Megan whilst others consumed food and drinks, not paying any attention to the fight at hand.

"Start this off, metal burst!" Steven cut off the commentator. The second he finished speaking, Aggron practically came to life and pushed his neck back before spitting a large, gooey lump of melted metal towards Bastiodon.

Megan contemplated for a second but quickly came to a conclusion. She pushed her purple glasses on top of her short red hair and commanded Jessica to dodge the hit. Bastiodon slowly dodged the attack, the silver sludge melting into the ground behind her.

"Flash cannon!" Megan quickly countered. Bastiodon opened her flat mouth to reveal a small ball of silver energy rapidly growing. After a few seconds, Bastiodon launched the ball as a beam of thick, silver energy.

Steven watched the move make direct contact with Aggron, dust erupted the second it landed. Half the crowd cheered and booed, the other half coughed and wiped their eyes from the rising dust.

"Erm...Steven...why didn't you dodge?"

Steven turned his head towards Megan, looked her dead in the eye and smiled at her. "That was a powerful attack but you'll have to do better if you want to defeat me!"

"Grrr" Megan replied, thinking of how to play the fight out.

"Head smash!" Steven quickly called out whilst Megan was thought tracking.

"Gron!" Aggron started off by slowly walking towards his opponent. His walk became a jog which quickly became an all out sprint. Even though it wasn't very fast, the ground beneath Aggron trembled with every step. His whole body lit up orange as he lowered his head and held his arms back like how naruto ran.

"Jessica, flash cannon!"

"Baaaaaaastiodon! She called as her mouth launched a thick beam of silver energy. Aggron leaned to the left to dodge it. The attack dented the wall behind Steven which scared some of the crowd.

"How can such a slow pokemon dodge such a fast attack!? Somebody please explain!" The commentator sarcastically called out which struck up conversation in the crowd.

"You can do this darling...I believe in you" sat in the crowd, unknown to her, was Megan's mum with a Stoutland she stroked every now and then. Her daughter had the same features as her, the emerald green eyes, short red hair...even her Green fedora.

"Pressure him! Don't stop until you land a hit!" Megan hesitated secretively. Bastiodon sweat dropped but obeyed her order.

"Bassssstiodon! Don! Don! Don!" She repeated as he launched multiple flash cannons towards her opponent.

"Keep it up!" Steven and Megan shouted simultaneously to their pokemon but for different reasons. Bastiodon kept launching attacks whilst Aggron closed the gap.

"Bastio-h" He released a very small attack before frantically gasping for air. Aggron dived head first into Bastiodon, the castle pokemon lowering her head to try and protect herself. Aggron had driven his horn straight into Bastiodons mouth without noticing.

"Aaaagron!" He roared as he stepped forwards, forcing Bastiodon back into the corner of the stage.

"Come on Bastiodon!"

"Shove her into a corner Aggron!"

Bastiodon is low on energy meaning that aimlessly attacking won't help...as I saw earlier." Megan began to think which became hard due to all the screaming in the background.

She can't hold on for long...Earthquake would just swallow both of them up, no. I'll save that as a last resort...what's super effective...ground, water...fire...fire!

"Hold on Jessica! Flamethrower!" Megan raised her fedora so they wouldn't knock down her glasses. Bastiodons mouth lit up in flames as she unleashed a searing hot blast of flaming power on Aggron. The attack heated up his horn and spread to his body, burning the pokemon and sending it staggering backwards which opened a gap for another attack.

"Nice thinking Megan! A supereffective attack is sure to shove any pokemon out of your little circle!" Her mum shouted out but she couldn't be heard over the roaring crowd.

"Nice! Now earthquake whilst he's dazed!" Megan saw an opportunity and took it, not realising it was a trap.

"Just what I wanted! Avalanche!" Steven crossed his arms with a smile.

"Steven is the king of last second plans! This is why he's a champion folks! Avalanche is double the power when the user gets hit first!"

Aggrons body glowed bright blue, and a dark cloud appeared above the opponent. Chunks of white and clear ice then rained down from the cloud and struck Bastiodon repeatedly.

Jessica couldn't look up or defend the attack so she stood and took it. Jessica fell to her knees, struggling to stand.

"Again, head smash!" Steven finally seemed alive again. Whilst Bastiodon shivered and struggled to stand, Aggron rushed towards her, once again veiled in a red aura.

"Flamethrower!"

"Why is Megan attempting this tactic again!? Last time it worked out in Stevens favour!"

"Well if you'd shut up and let me finish speaking, you'd see!"

"Wow! A feisty one we have here!"

"Whatever" Megan murmured under her breath. She looked up to see Aggron about 100m away from victory, she quickly shouted out. "Crap, aim for the feet! Flamethrower go!"

"Bastiodon!" The flaming stream burnt Aggrons feet, causing him to faceplant into the ground infront of her.

"Kehehe. Earthquake." She smiled. Bastiodon raised her first two legs, and then slammed them down into the ground. A large fissure opened and swallowed Aggron whole, exploding afterwards. As the smoke rose, a large, dark figure shot up into the sky and slammed into the ground behind Steven, his eyes open in shock.

The whole arena went silent for a second. So quiet that you could hear the wind breeze through.

"There we have to folks! The first battle of the 6! Bastiodon wins!"

As soon as the silence was broken, the crowd roared louder than Aggron ever could. Steven, after realising his pokemon had fallen, returned it and thanked him for his effort. He drew out his second pokeball and threw it sky high

"Don't let me down, Aerodactly!"

"Grrroah! Dacctyl!" He roared as he opened his huge mouth to reveal a row of sharp, white, serrated fangs. It had sharply pointed ears and a fierce expression with intense eyes. Its body was covered in light violet-gray skin with violet wings.

"The second of champion Stevens pokemon, Aerodactly! This prehistoric predator was revived from an old amber and used to roam the world, preying on anything smaller than it."

Aerodactly looked around and beared his fangs at Bastiodon.

"Look daddy, a dinosaur! A real life dinosaur!" A small child from the crowd shouted out, pointing his index finger towards Aerodactly. The large violet pokemon turned his head slowly towards the kid and opened his mouth to reveal his teeth. The kid quickly retracted his arm and turned his head in fright which resulted in a chuckle from the large pokemon.

Before any further movement, Megan pulled out her pokedex and opened it to the monotone voice once again.

"Aerodactyl, the prehistoric pokemon. Aerodactyl is a ferocious, prehistoric Pokémon that goes for the enemy's throat with its serrated saw-like fangs."

"Rock slide!" Megan shouted out with a small grin, unknown to the audience. Without a second to spare, Jessica roared as her body lit up brown. Large slabs of rock materialise in the sky and plummeted down around Aerodactyl.

"Fire fang." Steven calmly spoke out to his pokemon.

"Daactyl!" She cried out in excitement as she flew forwards into the air, picking up speed. Aerodactyl agilly dodged the rock slide by flying around them, under then and at one point, curling in her wings and spinning past one. Her serrated saw like fangs set ablaze as she flew behind Bastiodon and sunk them into her back. The area around them erupted in smoke as Aerodactyl flew out unscathed.

"What A powerful, super effective hit from Steven's Aerodactyl! How will Megan comeback from that?"

"Bastiodon is unable to battle, Steven and aerodactyl win." The referee held up his green flag towards Steven's side.

"You were great, thank you Jessica" Megan whispered as she returned her unconsious pokemon.

Now...who do I choose next? Kangaskhan is too slow and so is Tyranitar. Drapion won't be much help...I'll use my ace.

"Blastoise, you're up next!" Megan threw her second pokemon into the air. A large dark blue tortoise covered in a thick, brown shell stands with stubby, open legs. Two powerful water cannons reside on the top side of the shell.

"TOOOISE!" She roared with excitement as she looked back at her trainer and nodded, signalising to go a step further.

"I hear you girl. Break the bonds of evolution and show me true power!" Megan screamed out as she help up her purple glasses. Long bonds of power linked and turned from a white-ish colour to gold. The aura surrounded Blastoise as she evolved once again.

As Mega Blastoise, it'd developed two smaller shells over its arms, each with their own water cannon. The two cannons on its back were replaced by a single, central water cannon of greater size.

The crowd cheered wildly as they saw Blastoise mega evolve. Some questioned why Steven didn't use Metagross but none of that concerned him.

"And straight off the bat Megan mega evolves! Steven, how will you deal with this powerhouse!?"

"Simple." Steven smiled and nodded at his pokemon. Aerodactyl flew high into the sky and turned around to face mega Blastoise.

"Ice beam!" Megan shouted out, moving her fedora out of her face once again.

Three small sky blue coloured balls form, one at the end of each blaster. They all shot a clear blue zigzagged beam towards the opponent who flapped his wings powerfully.

"Thunder fang!" Steven commanded with a calm expression on his ace. Aerodactyl pulled in her wings and dived down, rapidly spinning as her serrated fangs became electrically charged. Aerodactyl practically free fell past the ice beams before making direct contact with Mega Blastoises left arm. The large blue pokemon slide back but quickly shook off the attack.

"Aerodactyl, again. Thunder fang!" Steven gave his pokemon no time to rest

"So Steven seems to be playing offensively, trying to take down this mega Pokémon with the super effective Thunder fang. I don't think this is going to work but let's wait and see!"

"Surf!" Megan retaliated. The large cannon on Mega Blastoises back moved to the centre and charged up a powerful water orb. As Aerodactyl flew closer to the ground with sparked fangs, Blastoise launched the attack. The orb smashed the floor infront of her, sending a giant water wave forwards.

"Daactwlwlwlw" The prehistoric pokemons shriek became washed out with the attack. Aerodactyl struggled to stand back up. One she did, she shook herself off and flew up once again.

That should've taken her out...this is Steven I guess...all champions have strangely powerful pokemon...

"End this, thunder fang!" Steven shouted loudly with a faint grin emerging. He threw his arm forwards as Aerodactyl hurtled past him and towards Blastoise, once again fangs that sparked yellow. Her mouth lit up as she widened her jaws like she was trying to swallow a beach ball whole.

Alright then. Approach two, head on since clearly my Surf failed...

"Now, skull bash!" Megan had finally gotten fed up and threw off her fedora. The hat swayed left and right before delicately hitting the floor besides it's owners feet.

"Toise!" Mega Blastoise practically flew forwards, her body veiled in a faint red and white aura. She kept her arms by her side and her legs together as she charged headfirst towards Aerodactyl. The gap between the two attacking pokemon slowly closed. The crowd all held their breath as they became roughly 100m away.

"Now!" Both trainers screamed out, breaking the thick tension like cutting cake with a knife. Aerodactyl flapped her large wings and back flipped in mid air before sending down a powerful stone edge.

Bridget span in mid air and held her arms facing up, aiming all three blasters towards Aerodactyl.

"Hydro pump!"

As if time had slowed down, Bridget shot three powerful blasts of water, one from each blaster. The power of the attacks sent Bridget crashing into the floor but she didn't seem to mind. The two smaller attacks collided with the stone edge, cancelling each other out. The collision went up in smoke, as Aerodactyl cried out, the final blast of water hit her straight in her lower torso, sending the prehistoric pokemon flying up.

Half the crowd cheered as Aerodactly hit the floor and Bridget stood up, dusting herself off.

"What. A. Match! I wouldn't have seen that happen even in a million years! This is to be expected from two amazing trainers!"

"Aerodactyl cannot continue. Please send out your next pokemon Steven."

"Thank you. You did well" Steven returned his unconscious pokemon and pulled out his next.

"Standby for battle, Metagross!"

"MeTA!" Metagross loudly roared as he burst out of his pokeball. The Shiny metal pokemon had a large, metallic cross situated in the centre of its face. On either side of the cross, a red eye peers out from a space in Metagross's metallic armour. Its four legs were joined to the main body by ball-and-socket joints. Each leg had three short claws on the end.

"Here it is Folks! Stevens best pokemon, his partner in crime shiny Metagross!"

The crowd cheered. Scratch that. The crowd screamed, applauded AND cheered as well as praised Metagross which flattered the pokemon.

"Ready?" Steven looked at his partner which looked back and nodded.

"Tagross"

"Great. Surpass the bonds of evolution and show strength and courage! Dominate. Metagross, Mega evolve!" Steven ripped the pin from his jacket and held it towards the heavens. The long bonds that tied Steven and Metagross together shattered as long gold chains surrounded Metagross. He flashed white as he mega evolved.

"METAGROSS!" He vehemently roared as he levitated. Its legs become arms. The cross on its face turned pale gold, and it gained two small holes and a spike immediately below the cross, giving the impression of a goatee.

The multicoloured mega evolution symbol flashed and then disappeared.

"Alright then, Bullet punch!" Steven started off. Metagross practically teleported in front of Mega Blastoise. Megan's eyes peeled at the blinding speed, Mega Blastoises eyes did too.

The shiny mega pokemon punched Mega Blastoise with all four arms before quickly retreating.

"Check out the speed! It seems that Mega blastoise-"

"Just say bridget" Megan rolled her eyes as she cut the commentator off

"Fine. Bridget is no match for the speedy Metagross!"

"Meteor mash!" Steven shouted excitedly. Mega Metagross' body lit up blue as he tucked in his four arms and pointed them at the opponent. It then charged full speed at the opponent whilst he span clockwise, surrounded in a blue aura.

"Head on, baby! Bridget use power-up punch!" Shouted an excited Megan.

Simple. I can't take down mega Metagross normally...or easily for that matter so I guess my best bet is to power up Bridget the best I can and one shot him. Hopefully he doesn't realise too soon...

Mega Blastoises right launcher retracted into its shell as she clenched her fist. Her fist lit up red as she pulled it back and quickly thrusted it forwards against the meteor mash.

"Powerful stuff! Anyones guess who'll win!"

The two attacks clashed head on, bursting into smoke once again. Mega Blastoise slid back and fell onto all fours only to shake her head and stand back up.

Mega Metagross spun back but quickly regained control and hovered infront of Steven.

"Hydro pump Bridget!" Megan called out, breaking the silence between the two trainers.

She took aim at Metagross and blasted three powerful streams of water that jetted forwards.

"Psychic then use flash cannon!" Steven threw his arm forwards.

Deflecting this attack and then striking back with something powerful. Depending on what she uses next, I can easily evade it with a bullet punch or even use meteor mash again to break through. We can win this.

The three streams merged into one deadly stream that would've hit Mega Metagross right in the middle of the X on his face if it weren't for psychic. The attack got about 40m away from his face before psychic redirected the attack upwards into the air. The stream pumped straight up, taking the shape of the letter L. It continued upwards until weakening and exploding into a short burst of rain. The water droplets fell around the stadium, wetting Steven, Megan, the commentator and both Pokémon as well as some of the audience which caused them to moan in annoyance.

The flash cannon shot forwards towards Bridget but she power up punched it and retaliated with a smart ice beam.

The ice should freeze the rain and turn it into sharp ice, creating my own blizzard. No way Steven can counter that!

Hm. Ice beam. It isn't heading towards me which is peculiar. Maybe...no! Steven's eyes peeled open as he realised what she was doing. She's going to create a blizzard and whilst that's happening, try and finish me off. I know what to do! If I use psychic to gather the ice into a shield, I can Persevere with an attack!

"Wait for it..."

"Both trainers seem to be thinking of their next move! Think aloud dammit, don't forget we're here watching!"

"Hahaha sorry" Both trainers awkwardly laugh and reply together.

The ice beam froze the rain, just as Steven predicted, creating a mini blizzard.

"Surf!" Megan quickly added on. The large tidal wave surged forwards.

"Psychic! Create an ice shield." Metagross quickly obeyed and used his psychic powers to gather the small ice shards into a large shield. The ice beam made the shield bigger and stronger. The Surf got closer and Metagross kept the shield just infront of his face.

"Push the shield Forwards into the attack." Steven grinned faintly.

The shield thrusted Forwards, shattering under the pressure of the surf BUT also dispersing the surf into waterworks.

No Way! He saw through my strategy! Damn it.

"End this. Meteor mash."

Bridget is out of breath, I'm not sure she'll be able to dodge this...

"Guard!" Megan called out.

"Seems like she's playing the defensive card after the offence failed."

Blastoise crossed her arms but failed to block the powerful attack. She shot backwards, unfolding her arms and crashing powerfully into the wall.

Bridget de-mega evolved and couldn't move.

"Blastoise is unable to continue, Mega Metagross is victorious!"

"Thank you Bridget. Return" Megan smiled sympathetically.

"Great job Metagross!" Steven patted his mega partner who smiled happily whilst he waited for his next challenge.

Poison doesn't effect steel but dark does. Hm. I know who's up next!

"I'm impressed that you realised my ice beam plan and countered it so effectively!" Megan shouted from the other side of the field.

"Thanks. It took me a minute or two but without psychic, it wouldn't have worked ahaha" Steven replied happily.

"Erm...could we continue the battle now?" The commentator rudely interrupted the little chit-chat.

"Yeah..." Megan muttered under her breath before she sent out her next pokemon.

"Tori, standby for battle!" She called out.

A very large pokemon, covered in a green, armour-like hide stood powerfully infront of Megan. It had Several spikes of varying size protruding from the back of its head, neck, and shoulders. Both sides of its chest, the center of its back, and its knees had two triangular holes. There was a grey, diamond-shaped patch of scales that covered its belly, and a smaller one on its back. It had three claws on its feet and hands. A ring of spikes surrounds the tip of its tail.

"Grrraaaaah!" Tyranitar roared ferociously as she took a well balanced battle stance and stared at Metagross.

This fight will be very hard as she's weak to steel but then Metagross is weak to Dark so I think we might just pull this off...just about

"Bullet punch!" Steven smirked at the typing. Mega Metagross, though slightly worn out from the previous fight, still practically teleported forwards.

It's a long shot but I still have to try...

"Alright, spin and dark pulse!" Megan cautiously commanded her pokemon. Tori questioned her trainer but as she saw the speed of Metagross, she quickly pivoted towards Steven and then rapidly span, unleashing the spinning purple attack. The attack luckily hit Metagross, shooting him back. Without a second to spare;

"Alright, dark pulse again!"

"Ranitar!" She roared and attacked again. Mega Metagross shot backwards, crashing into the wall behind.

"Metagross is unable to ba-"

"Gross..." Metagross cut off the referee, slowly standing up from the dented wall. He slowly but surely levitated back to Steven.

"Well...that sure is a shock! After a long battle AND two super effective dark pulses, Metagross manages to stand again! What even is this Pokémon!?"

"Thank you. Bullet punch, Beta!"

Steven commanded. The word Beta confused everybody but Metagross.

"Spin and dark pulse again!" Megan foolishly fell into the trap.

Mega Metagross dashed forwards and agilely dodged the dark pulses, he descended and smashed Tyranitar on the head before leaping back.

"Tori! Can you stand!?" Megan worryingly shouted out. She started to run up to her pokemon but stopped as she eventually stood up.

"Guess her defence isn't as good as some I've faced" Steven whispered under his breath.

"Grrr...rock slide!" Megan angrily shouted to her pokemon. Tyranitar roared and summoned large slabs of rock to fall around the battlefield.

"Dodge and use meteor mash!" Steven retaliated.

"MeTA!" Metagross quickly and efficiently danced around the battlefield, dodging the plummeting rocks.

"Look at him go! Dodging them like a pro!"

"How is he doing that!?" Megan questioned herself out loud in which Steven answered.

"Simple. He's had practise. When I was with Alain and we accidentally angered mega Rayquaza, he had to dodge draco-Meteor or we wouldn't have lasted. He also had to dodge a powerful origin pulse from Primal Kyogre when he had woken up. I think we've had enough training in terms of dodging."

He got a little too cocky.

Metagross also did until one slab stopped him dead in his tracks. He panicked for a second as it startled him. He turned back, left then right. He even tried to fly up but the stabs tombed him in.

"Clearly someone hasn't had enough training" Megan smirked. She placed her bag on the floor, cracked her knuckles and commanded a dark pulse in which Tori broke through the slabs and directly hits mega Metagross. The heavy steel pokemon flew back, smashing through the back slabs and carving a long line on the floor as he flew back. He landed infront of Steven, unable to battle. After he de-mega evolved, the referee announced him as being defeated.

The whole stadium fell silent as if they'd seen a murder take place before their very eyes. (ghosts are pokemon too so saying as if they've seen a ghost is out of the question)

"What A shocking sight! Tell me when's the last time you saw Stevens Metagross fall!? Tori really pulled through despite the disadvantage!"

"Return partner. You did great" Steven smiled as he returned his partner and called his next pokemon forth.

That may not have worked in my favour but I know for a fact that this next fight is mine! Scizor and her bullet punch should do the trick. If not, then I'll swords it up!

"Scizor, fight for me!" Steven threw his next pokeball into the air only for it to explode into a Scizor.

She had grey, retractable forewings and hind wings with simple, curved venation. Its head was kite-shaped with three blunt horns that extended above its forehead. Scizor had broad shoulders and thin, segmented arms ending in large, round pincers. Scizors legs were defined by large hip joints, thin thighs, and wide calves, its feet ending in one clawed toe in front and another in the back.

"I'm too hyped up for scanning! Let's go! Rock slide!"

'Tyyyranitar!" She unleashed a mighty roar as the slabs materialised once again and then plummeted at a rapid pace. The rock slide varied in size and actually fell in a pattern, oblivious to Steven and Megan. The largest slab fell first. After that, the slabs progressively got smaller until the attack stopped with a maximum of 22 slabs falling.

"Dodge and use bullet punch!" Steven thought about it and acted upon his plan. Scizor dashed left and right at a speed the crowd dreamt of keeping up with towards Tori. She pulled back and then repeatedly punched Tyranitars torso, sending the large pokemon falling onto her back.

"Tori the Tyranitar cannot continue, Scizor wins!" The referee held up his green flag towards Steven in which the champion smiled and nodded his head at his pokemon.

"Thank you, Tori. Take a nice, long rest." Megan returned her defeated pokemon and picked up her next pokeball.

I know that poison is useless against steel so I guess that Kingdra will have to do the trick...

"Kayla, your assistance is needed!" Megan threw her next pokemon out.

The large blue and yellow seahorse with a tightly curled tail. It was covered in blue scales except for its yellow, compact belly scales. There were thin spines with a single branch atop its head and thin, white fins under its cheeks.

"Dra!" She roared as she stood on her tail. Scizor and Kingdra glared at each other for roughly a minute before both nodding to their respected trainers, ready for a command.

"X-scissor!" Steven, once again, broke the silence, and commanded first.

The crowd cheered loudly, the left side chanting Stevens name and half the right side chanting for Scizor. The two middle sections chanted for Megan and her pokemon.

"Surf!" Megan replied, not sure on how to play the fight out. Kingdra shot an orb of water down into the ground. The orb quickly exploded into a large tidal wave that surged towards Scizor.

"Why would anyone use Surf knowing that it could easily be cut through!? What is Megan planning?"

Just as the commentator expected, the X-scissor ripped through the wave with ease, scattering the water droplets.

Could she possibly be planning to use that strategy again? No way. She can't think that I wouldn't realise that...could she?

"Scizor, before she uses ice beam, counter with metal claw!" Steven hesitated for a second. Scizor nodded and flapped her wings allowing her to fly high up above the water droplets.

Scizors left claw lit up a metallic white/Grey and she dived down, claw first.

"Perfect. Dragon pulse!" Megan smirked. This all played out as she had planned.

"You see, I wanted you to think I was going to use ice beam and then hesitate, trying to counteract it. You even told me earlier that without psychic, you'd struggle. I wanted you to charge in recklessly so my dragon rush could consume you"

"Seems like Megan was playing one step ahead all along! How did Steven not see this counter!?"

The purple dragon pulse launched forwards and took the shape of a mighty dragon (that resembled Rayquaza) with an open mouth. The attack consumed Scizor with ease, throwing the metal bug back into the air.

Whilst Scizor was falling, Megan commanded Kayla to attack again.

"Kayla, use Hydro pump!" Megan smirked slightly. Kayla retracted then thrusted her head as the powerful, compact water stream dashed forwards towards a falling Scizor. Scizor opened her eyes but couldn't move due to exhaustion so she took the hit which shot her back into the top wall above the crowd. A few small stones fell as the crowd gasped at how close they were to the fallen pokemon.

"And how the hell an I meant to see that!? I don't have super sight you know!" The referee shouted as he stared to see if Scizor could go on or not.

"Can anyone even see that high up? Wait...she's moving. Don't worry people, Scizor can go on!" The commentator cheered with excitement. Scizor struggled to stand but with a standing ovation from the crowd and kids cheering her on, she found the strength to carry on the fight. Scizor fell forwards out of the body shaped hole she made and quickly flapped her wings before she hit the ground, elevating her back into the sky.

"Great going! Now let's beef this up! Swords dance!" Steven shouted, knowing that he couldn't win this fight easily.

Scizor hasn't got enough strength to win BUT I can make this a draw with a swords dance or two and then X-scissor.

"Hydro pump again!" Megan didn't see the plan yet so she attacked normally.

"Dodge and use swords dance again!" Steven stayed on the defence.

"Clearly Steven is going to either try and win this with the next attack or he'll try and end this with a draw! Which on is it champion?" The loud mouthed, idiotic commentator spoiled his plan. Megan's eyes shot open as she realised and quickly changed her tactic too.

Steven face palmed as soon as his plan was foiled.

"Well then...Scizor. fly high and rush down below with X-scissor!"

"Kayla, creating ice walls with ice beam!" Megan planned her next trick.

If I can use walls of ice beam to slow down Scizor, then by the time she reaches me she'll be tired and her attack won't be strong. Let's make as many as we can.

The thick, blue ice walls materialised on the battlefield infront of Scizor. She quickly dodged them the second they erected which wasn't to plan but her speed eventually got slower resulting in her just smashing through the last couple.

"Dragon pulse upwards quickly!" After realising her plan had semi failed, she opted for a draw, just like Steven.

The Rayquaza resembling attack launched upwards and spread its powerful wings before diving back down towards Scizor and Kingdra with an open mouth. The second X-scissor hit, the dragon pulse consumed them both and exploded.

The crowd gasped as the smoke cleared. Both pokemon were laying down in a bite shaped ditch, unable to battle.

"The battle at hand is a draw, please return your pokemon and call out your penultimate team member."

The crowd gasped and children cheered and peered into the seemingly bottomless hole where the two Pokémon were.

"Return. You were great Kayla."

"Thanks for the fight Scizor. Relax and watch me win this"

"Both trainers ready?" The referee started the penultimate fight.

"Armaldo, front and centre!" Steven threw out his fifth pokemon.

I was hoping to have won this with those four but oh well.

"Drapion, you're up next!" Megan reluctantly threw her next pokemon.

"Dddrapion!" She waved her tail around and repeatedly opened and closed her claws to try and intimidate Armaldo who just blankly stared.

"Why does she have a drapion with her? She knows she's versing steel types right?" The commentator whispered loudly before saying something else. "Anyway, smart choose saving drapion till last! Let the fight beginnn!"

"Delaney, X-scissor!" Megan started off. Drapion crossed her claws and they started to glow light blue. She then puts her claws together in front of it and a light blue 'X' like energy with a magenta outline appears in front of her. She pushed her arms forwards, uncrossing her arms which resulted in the X being pushed forwards.

"Match it" Steven quickly retaliated.

I clearly have the advantage. X scissor won't do that much damage and neither will any of her poison type moves which I doubt she'll use.

I'm not sure what to do with Delaney. My poison moves won't do anything so I guess Dark pulse and aerial ace will have to do. And X scissor.

Armaldo pulled its claws into its shell and when they came back out, the claws were light blue. It then pushed forwards a slash towards the opponent in an 'X'-like fashion.

"Two X scissors facing off!"

The two X scissors clashed, Armaldos pushing Drapions back slightly before both exploding.

Through the smoke, Armaldos X Scissor hit Delaney square on. The opposing pokemon slid back a few cm before shaking off the bug type attack.

Just great. That Armaldo is stronger too. Well...I'm not going down, I'm standing my ground. (Beyblade song reference anyone?)

"Delaney, dark pulse!" Megan cut off her thinking. Drapion held her purple claws together before thrusting forwards a spiralling black and purple blast towards his opponent.

"Rock blast! Then strike with earthquake!" Steven quickly counteracted.

If I can put her off, earthquake may finish her quickly.

Armaldo shot three large balls of rock which clashed with the dark pulse. Just as Steven had hoped, the smoke covered both Pokémon with allowed Armaldo to stomp the ground with his left foot and send forwards a small crack that quickly split and swallowed up Delaney.

A loud, ear-splitting cry cut the smoke. The audience covered their ears at the startled scream from Delaney. The high pitch noise quickly snapped Megan's attention, making her charge forwards into the battlefield.

As the eyes of the commentator and audience opened (and Steven), they all saw that Megan was missing. All eyes quickly diverted to the battlefield where Megan was crouched down, stroking her injured pokemon. Delaney attempted to stand but couldn't put any pressure on her badly injured leg.

"Is she alright?" Questioned the commentator with a worried tone. He pittied the trainer and the pokemon as did the crowd.

Steven hastily apologised.

"It's fine." Replied Megan before standing up and returning to her side of the field. She returned her Drapion before commenting "she's done" afterwards.

After clearing her throat and wiping her left eye, she called out her final pokemon

"Fight for me, my final Pokémon, I choose you May!" Megan threw her final luxury ball into the air only for a Kangaskhan to break free.

A brown pokemon with a thick, swinging tail stood powerfully, spreading her two legs to retain balance.. It had a brown hide with several raised patches, and a cream-coloured belly. On top of its head was a black patch, and it had large cream-coloured ears and red eyes. Its snout was short and rounded with two pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. In the pouch on its belly, it carried a baby Kangaskhan which had was light purple and had smooth skin.

"A normal type...versus six steel pokemon!? What could this training be thinking? What's her plan?"

"Wait and see! May, Ice beam!'' Screamed a very excited Megan. Almost immediately, May unleashed three sky blue, zig-zagged beams towards the opposing Armaldo who stood proudly and soaked up the attack.

With His high defences, i'm sure he can take a couple attacks proudly. I can't rely on hi to dodge with such low speed so endurance is key.

''That attack didn't seem to phase Armaldo whatsoever! What amazing defensive capability!''

''Alright then, Armaldo use rock blast!'' Steven threw an arm forwards. Armaldo jumped forwards as the red and white plates on Armaldos neck glow white. Three light blue rings surround its body. The rings then form into large, glowing white rocks that circle around its body. Armaldo then pulls up its claws and the three rocks launch forwards at a high speed towards May.

This should be easy to block. ''May, dodge it and use ice beam once again!''

''Kan!'' She pivoted and span in a circle on her left foot, the three large rocks narrowly bypassed her. Another three, thin beams of ice shot towards Armaldo but instead of dealing normal damage, it quickly froze Armaldo in place. A thick layer of ice solidified around Armaldo, turning him into a statue.

''I bet nobody expected that to happen! This could potentially change the tide of the battle, could May defeat Armaldo and Steven's final pokemon?''

''Return. Excadrill, Standby for battle!'' Steven returned his frozen, penultimate pokemon and threw out his final member...Excadrill.

Excadrill had a dark brown body with diagonal, red splotches. She had short legs with small, narrow feet, each containing three toes. Its small white face is long and thin, tipped by its pink nose. A large blade roughly twice as large as its face extended from its forehead. The top of the blade contains two smaller blades, resembling fins. Its arms are thick and had three large blades instead of fingers, with two smaller blades on top of the middle ones.

''Excadrill! DRILL!''She roared, showing off her sharp, shiny metal claws.

''I did not expect you to switch out'' Megan said in utter shock. It had thrown off her plan but little did Steven know that she already had another one brewing.

''My apologies then.'' Steven politely apologised before attacking.

''Excadrill!''

''Sandstorm!'' Steven quickly replied to the shout of his pokemon. Excadrill puts her arms up to her head and forms her body into a drill. It then jumps into the air and rotates its body at a high speed, resulting in a storm of sand revolving around her. After dashing forwards, Excadrill opened up and threw both arms forwards, commanding the Sandstorm to surge forwards towards Kangaskhan.

Megan told May to block by covering her eyes but to no avail. Kangaskhan spent a few seconds wiping her eyes whilst the sandstorm raged on.

''A weather conditioning move, does this mean that Stevens Excadrill has the ability Sand Rush?''

''You guessed it! Sandstorm doubles her speed during this weather condition! Let's speed it up! Excadrill, X-scissor!'' Steven exclaimed as his pokemon disappeared and reappeared to the other side of the arena with a glowing green X infront of her.

I can hardly see through this sandstorm, I can't imagine what May must be seeing. I need to find a way to bypass it. Maybe an ice wall could help. I could then burn it down when she gets close bearing in mind Excadrill is a physical attacker.

Kangaskhan, in the mean time, was holding her arms against her face, trying to guard the incoming onslaught of X-scissors from every direction possible. She patiently awaited her command, resisting the urge to attack out of turn.

''Sorry for the wait May! Hang in there! Spin and use ice beam, surround yourself in a wall!''

Just as she was ordered, May span around using ice beam, enclosing herself in an ice cocoon.

This cocoon should protect May from the sandstorm and then we can counterattack the second Excadrill gets close enough.

"Stay on the defensive!"

"Alright Excadrill, confuse her and then use iron Head!" Commanded Steven.

With the additional speed, iron head should land a hit, if not I'll try and end with focus blast...but that's for later on, since she's playing on the defensive, I'll have to look out.

Excadrill circled around Kangaskhan before using the momentum to leap Into the air and dive down headfirst. Excadrill straightened her body to resemble a drill before lighting up grey and plummeting down.

"Execute strategy one, ice burn!" (Black & white 2 reference anyone?) Screamed out Megan as May unleashed flamethrower. The scorching stream of fire quickly shattered and melted the ice and hit Excadrill smack bang in the middle of her hood.

Excadrill, despite the super effective attack dealing damage, continued to pitch, splitting the flamethrower into four smaller streams that diverted, launching into four different directions in an X shape. She struck Kangaskhan head on before leaping back and falling to one knee.

"Great job! Keep it up! Circle her and use focus blast!" Smiled Steven. He whispered the word 'checkmate' as his arm was extended.

"Again, flamethrower! She can't possibly take another head on hit!" Megan screamed out.

"Khan!" She launched the flamethrower forwards but Excadrill agilely dodged to the left before leaping up and putting her claws together in front; forming a light blue orb of energy in between them. It then pulls one of its claws back whilst holding the ball of energy and tossed it towards the opponent.

Kangaskhans eyes widened as the attack edged closer to her. The second it struck, the whole area went up in dust which added to the sandstorm.

A few seconds later, the sandstorm subsided and the dust cleared, hundreds of gasps could be heard from around the audience as Megan's final pokemon was lying in a shallow ditch unconscious.

"May the Kangaskhan is unable to continue, Excadrill wins meaning that the victor is Steven Stone!" The referee waved his flag around as the crowd roared.

Megan returned her pokemon and picked up her stuff before running towards Steven and shaking his hand. "That was amazing, thank you for battling me but next time we face off, I'll win for sure!"

"I'll look forwards to it then" replied Steven with a light chuckle.

I'll have to end it there! This wraps up the final request guys! My phone is currently being fixed so I cannot properly plan the tournament as I normally do it on the go BUT I'll do what I can! Until then, see you soon xxx
