Mega Evolved Ending

Lucario had achieved Mega Evolution and Cody was completely taken by surprise.

"So this is Mega Evolution, the result of a strong bond between Pokémon and trainer. Lucario, let's show just how strong our bond is to everyone. You and me to the end, Lucario!" Cody encouraged.

Lucario nodded in agreement and turned to face Charizard. He spun the bones in his hands to show he meant business.

'This power, i've never knew it was inside of me. This sudden burst makes me feel even mightier than I ever could've imagined, and now i'll show him what I can do.' Lucario thought to himself.

'The kid's really determined now, especially in his Mega Evolved state. I don't remember having this much fun with a newbie before. Let's see where this fight takes us.' Charizard said and prepared himself for whatever was coming.

"Come on sport. Show him what you're made of." Machamp cheered

"This is gonna be so much fun."

'I know you can do it kid.' Blaziken thought.

Lucario took off to Charizard and he was faster than before. He managed to dodge Charizard's claws at his newfound speed and got behind him. Then, he used Bone Rush in a high-speed barrage of blows.

"See how you like this!"

The final blow was to the head and smashed Charizard into the ground. Lucario then pinned him down and used Aura Sphere on him as well.

"A little brutal Lucario, dial it back." Cody said. Lucario then backed off and Charizard took to the sky.

"Okay, that actually hurt! You just made yourself an enemy pal!"

"Sorry, couldn't help wrecking you a little bit. This power is just exhilarating!"

Charizard chuckled a bit and dove down right at Lucario with Dragon Claw. Lucario used Close Combat and both Pokémon traded blows until Charizard dealt a low blow and knocked Lucario into the barrier.

"All right, no Mr. Nice Guy!" Lucario said and pulled a new move. He channeled his aura into both his hands and fired a beam of energy. Charizard managed to block it, but with Lucario's strength he was being pushed back a bit. Lucario then applied a burst of power and blast Charizard into the barrier and then some more damage was dealt.

"I'm just getting started!" He dashed over to Charizard and dealt an uppercut. He followed up with multiple bursts of aura energy and when Charizard came back down, he fired aura which resulted in an explosion.

"(pants) I'm burning up with all this power running through me."

"All right," Lucario heard and turned to see Charizard rising up from the impact. "You've been quite a challenge kid, but now it ends here."

"Guess so."

Charizard summoned all the strength he could muster and fired a Flamethrower max force. Lucario did the same thing and unleashed a beam of aura full strength. The two attacks collided with each other and neither side gave an inch. In everyone's head on the field...

Cody: 'Oh my god, this can't be happening! We made it this far, and now we'll end this with our best. Win or Lose, me and Lucario gave it our all'

Lucario: '(grunts) I can't lose, I have to win for Cody! We may have gotten this far, but I intend to see this to the end.'

Memories flooded into his head at once: the ones when Lucario was a Riolu, the days he trained with Cody, nights by himself, when the battle against a Simisear made him evolve into Lucario and coming here to the Ferrum League. Everything they worked for has brought them to this moment.

'I won't give up!'

Derrick: 'This kid and his Pokémon have guts, lots of it. I've never had a much more fun opponent, and i'm sure Charizard feels the same way.'

Charizard: 'Lucario's not backing down from this one bit. Having a strong opponent like this reminds of why I chose to fight here in the first place. Let's see if the kid and I got what it takes to make it to the top.'

With everyone's minds set on the fight, Lucario and Charizard poured and pushed every ounce of Mega-Evolved strength they had left into the energy blast. The blast were both so intense, a big explosion covered up the arena. The barrier prevented the blast from spreading, but nobody in the audience could see past all the smoke and dust in the air.

"Lucario!"

"Charizard!"

When the dust settled, both Pokémon were still standing, but their trainers could see the bruises.

"How could they survive all that and still be standing straight up?" Braixen asked astonished

"Charizard maybe, but the new kid couldn't handle that without getting hurt." Sceptile spoke

"Not unless his guts have anything to say about it."

It looked like the fight was getting nowhere until both Pokémon started leaning forward and were about to fall.

"Lucario, don't fall!"

"Stand strong, Charizard!"

They were both falling, but only one hit the ground and laid there in defeat. Everyone watching gasped in fear and the audience was silent until a deafening roar broke the silence for the winner. It was Lucario who the victor by stopping his fall with his hands so he was on all fours. Both he and Charizard reverted back to their original forms and the barrier was lowered.

"(Gasp) We... won. We actually won!" Cody ran onto the field in joyful tears and hugged Lucario. "We did it Lucario, we won our first tournament together."

Seeing Cody smile, Lucario collapsed in his arms exhausted.

'We did,' he chuckled in his head. 'We sure did.'

"Get up Charizard, you got nothing to be ashamed of. We had a great fight, and now we're gonna work hard to beat them in a hard fought battle." Derrick encouraged. Charizard got up and took a good look at them before looking back at Derrick.

'He's right. I'll be looking forward to many strong-willed fights in the future from that kid.'

Charizard nodded in agreement, and the two of them looked over at Cody and Lucario. Lucario saw them looking their way and pointed it out to Cody. They looked up and were greeted with a thumbs up from both of them. Cody gave them a thumbs up back.
