Pokémon: Battle For Redemption

Set after Ash's battle against Olympia in XY

"With Ash now only needing one badge to enter the Kalos League, he and his friends eagerly set their sites on Snowbelle city and the final gym battle"

Ash kept running with Pikachu barely able to hold onto his trainer's shoulder. With Serena, Bonnie and Clemont running after their friend. The raven haired boy just couldn't wait to get to Snowbelle and challenge the final gym leader, he was so close to the Kalos League now 'Just a little further and then I'll win the Kalos League and finally get a chance to be a Pokémon Master' Ash thought.

"Ash! You mind slowing down, we can't run like this forever!" Serena called, stopping Ash's thoughts. They had been running for about ten minutes and still Ash kept running. Serena couldn't believe how fast the young trainer could run, he was as fast as Pikachu's Quick Attack.

Ash stopped and saw just how worn out his friends were. He scratched the back of his head and smiled "Sorry; I just really want to win my next gym badge!" which was true the young trainer really wanted to get his last badge and win the Kalos League. This time Ash would win for sure, with every Pokémon he's collected over his many adventures.

"Well maybe next time don't run" Bonnie said, panting "we'll get there by walking, no running for me"

"Don't worry Ash, we know how much it means to you" Clemont smiled, panting a little "But yes, please don't run, I'm a inventor not a athlete"

"Pikachu" The electric mouse nodded, with his ears flopped down.

Ash awkwardly smiled at his electric type starter "Sorry Pikachu" Ash then looked at Clemont "So how far away is the nearest Pokémon centre?"

Clemont thought about it for a moment before answering "Well, I'd say not too far considering we haven't seen one for awhile" Ash nodded and four continued down the path, this time walking. So close to the League so close to finally make his dream come true.

Two hours later

By the time the four friends reached the Pokémon centre it was only midday. The Pokémon

Centre was just like any other, it had the giant 'P' on the building and was shaped like a house. It also had a giant dirt battlefield with big stone stands. The four walked in, only to see the whole place was packed with news reporters.

Serena looked around confused "What's going on?" Never before had she seen so many people in one Pokémon Centre.

Bonnie tried to squeeze through the pack of news reporters and see what they were all swarming around, but she couldn't get through "Whatever it is it must be important" Clemont said, trying to see past the reporters heads.

"Guys, where's Ash?" Bonnie asked. The trio looked around to see the trainer was gone and was pushing past the reporters, trying to see what they were all so excited about. Ash finally got through and saw a whole bunch of reporters surround a greyish long haired man. The man had his back turned towards Ash, so he couldn't see his face. But from what Ash could tell the man was wearing a dark red cloak, that covered his upper body 'wait; he looks a lot like..' Ash's thoughts were interrupted as the cloaked man turned around and saw the raven haired trainer.

"Hello Ash," the man greeted "it's been a long time"

"Tobias!" Ash said in shock. Ash hadn't seen Tobias since the Sinnoh League, since Tobias wiped the floor with Ash's team in the semi-finals with his Darkrai and Latios. Suddenly the young trainer's thoughts turned to Dawn, the girl who he travelled with all across Sinnoh. He remembered her sparkling blue eyes and her amazing blue hair, Ash always sighed thinking about her. Sure he never told the coordinator how he felt in Sinnoh or in Unova, mainly because he was too afraid. But he wanted to so bad, but it didn't matter now she was in Sinnoh doing modelling with her Buneary.

The cloaked trainer smiled "Surprised to see me?" Ash finally woke up from his daydream about Dawn and focused on Tobias.

"Pikachuuuu" Pikachu growled. Ever since Latios tied with the electric mouse, Pikachu wanted to have another shot at Tobias and take down his Pokémon.

"I see your Pikachu, still holds a grudge" Tobias said, in a cool tone.

"What are you doing here?" Ash asked. Pikachu kept his guard up, still sparking yellow electricity.

Tobias looked at the young trainer with a smile "Ever since my Pokémon were defeated by Cynthia, I have been travelling different regions training," Tobias was strong before, but if he's been training then he must be almost unstoppable "what about you Ash? Have you gotten stronger?"

Ash smiled and pumped his fist "Of course I have, every time I battle I get ten times stronger"

That peaked Tobias's curiosity "Oh really, then how about we have that rematch and I'll see how strong you are"

Ash thought about it, the chance to rectify the loss that cost him winning the Sinnoh League. Ash remembered the look of disappointment on his Pokémon, the look of sadness on Brock, Barry and...Dawn. The young boy's thoughts then clogged with the the thoughts of Dawn again, man was it tough when Ash saw her face after he lost. He wouldn't loose again, he wanted to battle, for his Pokémon, for his friends, for Dawn. The raven haired boy looked at Pikachu "What do you think buddy?"

Pikachu pumped his yellow fist and smiled "Pika!"

Ash smiled and looked back at Tobias "Give me a week to train and you've got that rematch"

Tobias nodded "Of course, we'll battle here, on the dirt battlefield and we'll see how much better you have gotten" the news reporters were eagerly whispering amongst themselves, gossiping about the match that will happen. Tobias then walked out of the Pokémon centre with the news reporters following. Ash continued smiling to himself 'I won't make the same mistake, I'll win for my Pokémon and you Dawn'.

Serena, Bonnie and Clemont all walked up to their friend in confusion "Ummm, who was THAT?" Serena asked, curious. Serena and the gang had come across a lot of people but this one seemed very important to Ash.

"Its a long story, I'll tell you guys when we give our Pokémon to Nurse Joy" Ash answered. The raven haired boy was already walking to Nurse Joy before anyone could say anything.

Little did the four know they were being watched by some familiar villains, who were hiding behind a corridor. And had just listened to the entire conversation "Did you hear that, the Twerp is planning to try and one up the trainer with the Darkrai!" James said, revealing the obvious.

Meowth looked at his two cohorts "There's no way the Twerp can beat dat guy, he even beat the Elite Four and almost the Champ"

Jessie nodded "Yes, but the Twerp has surprised us more than once," Jessie thought for a moment "perhaps we should watch this battle and see how it turns out"

James clapped his hands together and began rubbing them together "It will be a great battle, no doubt!"

Ash just finished giving Nurse Joy his Pokémon but when he turned around he was faced with a very confused Clemont, Bonnie and Serena "So, are you going to tell us who that trainer was?" Bonnie questioned, with her arms crossed. Ash nodded and the three friends followed him to a table. Ash was sitting with Pikachu on one side, while Clemont, Bonnie and Serena sat on the other side.

Well here goes nothing. Ash sighed "It started back when I was in the Sinnoh League, I had just beaten my rival Paul in the quarter-finals in an intense battle" The raven haired boy looked down "I was then scheduled to face Tobias in the semi-finals, he had won all his battles using only his Darkrai"

"He has a Darkrai?!" Clemont yelled, shocked. Darkrai was a very well known Pokemon to many gym leaders, but most thought that was impossible to catch one.

Bonnie only looked at his brother with confusion "What's a Darkrai?"

"Darkrai is a legendary Pokemon from the Sinnoh region, it has the power to give people nightmares" Clemont answered.

Serena gasped and looked at Ash "He used a legendary Pokemon? Isn't that cheating?"

Ash shook his head "Obviously not, otherwise he would've been disqualified from the tournament" Ash then continued "anyway, I chose my team and I tried coming up with a strategy to beat Darkrai" Ash looked out the window "Darkrai took out three of my Pokemon before Sceptile managed to finally take him down"

"YOU BATTLED A DARKRAI AND WON?!" Clemont almost fainted hearing that. Another thing most thought impossible was to even beat a Darkrai, to even battle it and survive as long as Ash was impressive.

Ash then looked back at his friends and nodded "Yeah, but Tobias had a Latios and easily took out Sceptile and my Swellow" Ash remembered that Latios, its power, its speed and it carved up his Pokemon like it was nothing.

Okay that was it Clemont was dying "HE HAD A LATIOS TOO?!"

Bonnie face palmed at his brother's antics "What happened next Ash?"

Ash scratched Pikachu, making the yellow Pokemon grin "Pikachu was my last Pokemon, he put up a good fight against Latios and the battle between those two ended in a draw" Ash sighed "but in the end I lost, since he still had four Pokemon left. After that he won the Sinnoh League and had a chance to challenge the Elite Four and the champion Cynthia"

Serena eyes softened "Wow, I'm sorry Ash that's really sad"

Ash then stood up and smiled "Don't be, because this time I'm going to win!"

"Pika!" Pikachu cheered from his partner's shoulder.

Bonnie looked at Ash with doubt "But how? Darkrai and Latios sound tough?"

Clemont nodded grasping his glasses "Yes they do, and I don't think you can beat this 'Tobias' with the Pokemon you have" The young gym leader wasn't trying to offend his Pokemon, but they're not a high enough level, yet.

"I know" Ash then smiled again "which is why I'm using my best team of Pokemon!"

"Wait, do you mean..." Serena knew the raven haired trainer had powerful Pokemon from the other regions and she knew that they were strong. But the question was, were they strong enough to take on Darkrai, Latios and whatever else Tobias has.

"Yup, I'll call Professor Oak and start training" Ash said, enthusiastically.

Clemont couldn't help but raise his eyebrow "But which Pokemon are you going to use?"

Ash looked at Clemont with a smile still plastered to his face "You'll see" and with that Ash raced to the Video Phone's to call the Professor.

"...and that's why I need the Pokemon on the list" Ash said, explaining to Professor Oak about what just happened.

Professor Oak nodded at Ash "I see, it sounds like it will be a great battle," the Professor looked at the list with a frown on his face "but there might be a problem with getting the last one"

"I know Professor, but when I thought about my team, that one immediately came to my mind" Ash said, with a hint of excitement in his voice. The young trainer hadn't seen this Pokemon for awhile but Ash knew that he needed this Pokemon to battle Tobias.

Oak nodded, this Pokemon would definitely help Ash but the problem was finding it "I'll see what I can do, but I can give you the other four now if you want?"

"Yeah that sound good, I'll send my Kalos team over," Ash replied, putting four Pokéballs on the transporter. Within seconds the four Pokéballs disappeared in a yellow light and then made four other Pokéballs appear in the same yellow light. Ash picked up the four Pokéballs and placed them on the back of his belt and looked back at the screen with Professor Oak on it "Okay Professor I got them"

Professor Oak smiled "And I have your Kalos Pokemon, I'll immediately send Tracey to find that Pokemon"

Ash smiled back "Great, thanks Professor"

"No problem Ash, good luck in your battle and have fun" Oak beamed, as the screen turned black. But Ash wasn't finished making phone calls. The young trainer began dialling numbers on the video phone with Pikachu watching him with a confused look on his face.

"Pika?" The yellow mouse squeaked.

Ash simply grinned at his partner "Just one more call Pikachu," Ash finished dialling and saw a good friend appear on the screen "Hey, just wanted to let you know about something"

Five days later

Ash had been rigorously training his team, every day and night, every dusk and dawn and almost every hour he could get. Ash couldn't loose again, he can't loose and he won't. Serena had been worried sick about Ash, she had never seen the Kanto trainer act this driven. Ash didn't tell anyone about what Pokemon he was going to use, he just kept saying "You'll see" but everyone knew that Pikachu was on that team. And by 'everyone knew' the whole Kalos region and possibly the world were talking about this battle, after all Tobias was a pretty big celebrity. But a call came from Professor Oak, a call which Ash had been waiting five days for.

"Yes I have it right here," Professor Oak said, showing the Pokéball that was in his hand "I'll start the transfer now" now the Pokéball appeared in a yellow light, right before Ash's eyes.

Ash smiled, as did Pikachu "Finally," Ash picked the Pokéball up and looked at it "wait until they see how powerful you are"

Two day later

Ash was waiting, waiting for the sun to rise. The trainer couldn't sleep, how could anyone. He was about to face the same guy who destroyed his Pokemon in the Sinnoh League. The same guy who took down the Elite Four and almost took down the champion of Sinnoh. And the same guy who literally has caught two legendaries and maybe more. Ash had been sitting on the edge of a cliff, for almost four hours. He continued to look on the horizon as Ash gripped on his red and white cap 'I have the Pokemon, the strategy and the experience; why do I still feel like there's something missing?" the young trainer asked himself.

But suddenly two hands covered the trainer's eyes "Who there? Bonnie? Clemont? Serena?"

"Nope, you gotta guess harder Ash" A familiar voice giggled.

Wait that voice Ash knew it "Dawn?!" Oh Arceus, the trainer felt his heart beating a hundred times a minute. Ash had a serious case of Butterfree in his stomach and he felt his hands getting sweaty under his gloves. Of course it was Dawn, she always had perfect timing, perfect everything actually.

Dawn let go of Ash's eyes, still giggling like crazy. Ash turned to see Dawn, she was even more beautiful than he remembered. She was still wearing her usual Sinnoh attire, her hair had stayed the same, the only thing that had changed was Piplup wasn't with her. "Had a feeling I'd find you here, you always can't sleep before a big match" Dawn giggled.

'Man her laugh is so adorable' the trainer sighed in his head. Ash smiled and brought the coordinator in for a hug, one which Dawn didn't see coming "I missed you Dawn" The coordinator had to admit having Ash's strong arms wrapped around her felt pretty good.

Dawn gladly returned the hug "I missed you too Ash," Ash wanted to stay in the hug forever, staying in that one place until the end of time, but sadly they couldn't. When the two let go of the hug, the sun came up from the horizon. But all Ash could see was how bright Dawn looked and how the sun's light perfectly illuminated off her skin 'she looks so...so...beautiful' Ash thought. Dawn could see that Ash was just staring at her "Umm, Ash?"

Ash was knocked out of his thoughts "Oh, sorry just started daydreaming" Ash said, laughing nervously 'I really have to stop doing that' the trainer thought.

Dawn looked at the trainer confused "About what?" Not many things distracted Ash, well at least when they talked anyway.

"About how beautiful you are" Ash then immediately covered his mouth as a huge blush appeared on his face 'Idiot!' Ash scolded himself. The Raven haired trainer couldn't believe he just said that, his heart was pumping faster and faster every moment he thought about it

Dawn had also grown a blush, which was probably bigger than Ash's "R-really?" Ash was a little surprised at Dawn's reaction, he figured she would've laughed at him or run away but she was BLUSHING.

Ash blush became even redder, as he nervously scratched the back of his head "Well, yeah who wouldn't," Ash knew there was no way out of this, he had been wanting to tell Dawn this for a long time, way too long "Your smart, funny, supportive, nice and the most beautiful girl I've ever met ," Ash couldn't help but grab her hands and interlock them with his "I wish I told you sooner but I didn't know if you felt the same, but I-I..really like you," Ash didn't know what to do except look into her gorgeous eyes "Everyday I think about you, every time I dream you're there and every time I battle you're right there beside me," Ash smiled, starting to feel the Butterfree in his stomach go away, but his heart didn't slow down "You're the reason I made it so far in Sinnoh and you're the reason I keep going," Ash smiled looking at her with confident eyes "Dawn, I choose you" the two slowly leaned forward and closed their eyes, as they felt their lips meet in a passionate kiss. Ash wished it could never end, as he grabbed her waist and deepened the kiss. Dawn almost on instinct responded by wrapping her arms around the back of Ash's neck.

The two finally took a break for air, panting slow and hard, as their heads were resting on each other "Ash, you don't know how long I've waited to do that" Dawn said, still gasping for air.

Ash simply smiled, also panting for air "Too long I bet"

Dawn looked at Ash with a giggle "Way too long" Ash and Dawn fell into another hug, but this one was more caring, more special, more loving. The two let go of the hug and Dawn pecked him on the cheek while pulling him by the hand "Now, lets get ready for your match"

On the way back to the Pokemon centre, Ash and Dawn were holding hands. The raven haired boy couldn't help wonder what his friends think of him going out with a girl they've never met before. The two arrived at the centre and Ash couldn't help but see more than one familiar face "Ash!" Brock waved.

Ash let go of Dawn's hand and ran over to his oldest travelling companion "Brock, you made it!"Ash said, giving him a handshake. Brock was probably one of Ash's oldest and best friends and their friendship has grown through all their adventures.

Brock smiled "Of course, when you called I knew I needed to come"

Ash then looked behind Brock and saw "Barry? Paul?" Ash's two rivals from Sinnoh, Barry he was slightly annoying but he was strong. Paul, was Ash's main rival they were polar opposites and until the Sinnoh League Ash had never won a match against him.

Barry smiled and waved frantically "Hey Ash, good to see you"

Ash smiled back "Yeah you too" The young trainer's eyes landed on Paul, as Ash smiled "Hey Paul"

Paul surprisingly smirked "Ash"

Brock appeared next to Ash "I called Dawn and told her about the match, but I never expected these two to show up"

Dawn then suddenly caught up with everyone and sighed "Well Barry insisted on coming" Dawn then looked at the purple haired trainer "Paul, well let's just say he was just there"

Ash smiled "Thanks everyone for coming, it means a lot" Everyone nodded, but suddenly the Pokemon centre doors opened and Pikachu was frantically running and hid behind Ash's leg "What's wrong Pikachu?"

Pikachu pointed to a small figure coming straight for the yellow mouse "Buneary!" Suddenly Dawn's Buneary appeared and waved at everyone.

Ash laughed "Well, no wonder Pikachu's so scared" Buneary had always had a crush on the yellow mouse, even before Dawn caught it Buneary always had a thing for Pikachu.

"Pikachu" Pikachu said, with fear in his voice.

Dawn giggled before returning Buneary into her Pokéball "Sorry Pikachu, she just gets really excited"

Pikachu sighed in relief. Bonnie, Clemont and Serena came out the Pokemon Centre "Morning Ash; you ready for-" Clemont stopped in his sentence when he saw the amount of people surrounding Ash.

Bonnie looked around too and was very confused "Um, is this your new fan club?"

Paul looked at the girl with a scowl "Fan club? Really?"

Serena looked at Ash "Umm, who are these guys?

Ash looked at Serena and the two siblings and smiled "Guys, this is Barry and Paul two of my rivals from Sinnoh" Ash said, pointing to the two trainers. Barry smiled and waved, while Paul just didn't pay any interest "This is Brock he travelled with me in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh" Ash continued, pointing to his good friend.

Brock smiled and nodded "Nice to meet you all"

Ash smiled when he pointed to Dawn "And this is Dawn, she travelled with me in Sinnoh and is a Pokemon Coordinator" Ash continued smiling 'and she's also the most amazing girl I've ever met' he said in his head.

"Hi, nice to meet you all" Dawn said, smiling warmly. The coordinator then looked around for a bit before turning back to the others "By the way have you seen Pip-huh?" Just as Dawn was about to ask, Piplup appeared running from a very angry Dedenne.

"PIP-PLUP!" The penguin Pokemon screamed as Dedenne tried hitting Piplup with a Thunder Shock.

Bonnie quickly picked up the Antenna Pokemon before it could release another Thunder Shock "Dedenne stop being mean!" Dedenne ears plucked down in shame, saying in his own way that he was sorry "Sorry, Dedenne usually doesn't attack unless protecting us"

Dawn then sighed, looking at her starter Pokemon "What did you do?" Of course Piplup was always the starter of trouble and Dawn knew that the Penguin Pokemon had done something to provoke the Electric type.

Piplup sweat dropped a little and nervously scratched the back of his head "Pip-plup" the water type said, nervously.

Dawn face palmed at her Pokemon "Ugh, it doesn't matter" The coordinator turned to Bonnie "sorry, Piplup can be quite the trouble maker"

"Its ok, I'm Bonnie by the way and you've already met Dedenne" Bonnie smiled.

Clemont then stepped in and waved "My name is Clemont"

"And I'm Serena, nice to meet you" Serena said kindly.

After everyone got acquainted with one another, the Kanto realised he forgot something "Okay, I'm going to my room to get changed" Ash said, running inside the Pokemon Centre with Pikachu running after him.

Serena looked at the rest of the group in confusion "But he's already in his usual clothes, why is he changing?"

Brock thought for a moment before looking up and smiling "I think I know why" everyone turned to look at Brock, while he headed in to the Pokemon Centre as well "I'll be back"

Ash put on his black and yellow jacket that covered his white shirt. The Kanto trainer, next put on his black and green gloves, his old jeans, sneakers and of course his old red and black hat with a blue Pokéball on it. Ash looked at himself in the mirror and smiled "What do you think Pikachu?" Ash asked, now looking at his yellow partner.

"Pika-Pi!" Pikachu screeched happily. Ash continued to look at himself in the mirror, wearing his old Sinnoh clothes brought back many great memories. Memories like meeting Arceus, catching his Sinnoh Pokemon, making it to the Sinnoh League and meeting Dawn of course.

A knock was heard on Ash's door "Ash, its Brock," the trainer from Pallet was hoping that it was Dawn. He really wanted to talk to her about what happened on the cliff "Can I come in?"

"Yeah, sure Brock" Ash answered.

Brock opened the door and he smiled when he saw what Ash was wearing "So, you did have it" the Pokemon Doctor had a suspicion that he brought his old Sinnoh clothes with him.

Ash smiled back at his long time friend "Of course, if I'm going to battle Tobias then I'm going to do it with this"

"But that's not the only reason you still have it" Brock said with a humorous smirk on his face.

Ash's face went from smiling to shocked "Y-You know?" Brock was always very perceptive on when two people liked one another, after all he's an expert (sort of).

"It was pretty obvious, even in Sinnoh," Brock explained "but it took you a long time"

Ash nervously laughed "I know, it just happened"

The rock gym leader smiled at his friend "So I take it you haven't talked to Dawn about what happened"

"Yeah," The Kanto trainer sighed, while rubbing the back of his neck "Brock, what should I do?"

Brock walked to the young trainer and put a hand on his shoulder "Focus on the match first, you won't win if you have all these thoughts in your head," Ash nodded, understanding his friend's words "once the match is done. Go get her!"

Ash smiled and pulled up his right glove "You ready Pikachu?"

"PIKA!" The yellow mouse cried; he was ready.

"Then let's go win this!"

Ash walked out the Pokemon Centre with Brock and Pikachu following. The Kanto trainer looked around to see news reporters everywhere "Wow, there's so many people here" Ash breathed.

"Pikachu" the electric type nodded in agreement.

"Well, Tobias is a big celebrity now. I'm not surprised that this many people came out," Brock said, in a serious tone "You do know what Pokemon he uses right?"

Ash nodded "Yeah, I've spent all week memorising all the Pokemon he has" It was probably the most training he's done for any opponent.

Tobias appeared from a crowd of reporters swarming him and approached the young trainer "Ash, I hope you're ready for our battle"

"You know it!" Ash retorted, confidence welling in his voice.

Tobias smiled "Good, so shall we head to the battlefield?"

Ash was about to say yes but he realised he needed to see where his friends were "I'll meet you there, there's something I got to do first"

Tobias nodded, still smiling "Of course, I'll see you soon" Tobias then walked to the dirt battlefield that was just beside the Pokemon Centre, which was now packed with people in large stone stands.

Ash ran over to one of the stone stands with Brock and Pikachu still following. Ash looked around the stand and saw all of his friends, waving and smiling at the Kanto trainer (except Paul). Ash looked at Brock and smiled "Thanks Brock"

Brock smiled back "No problem Ash; good luck and remember what I said" Ash nodded, as Brock went up the stairs to the stand and went to the aisle everyone was in. Once in the aisle Brock took a seat next to Clemont, who looked quite excited for this match.

"This will be quite an exciting match" Clemont announced, excitedly.

Bonnie, who was sitting next to her older brother nodded "Yeah, it'll be great"

"I just hope Ash's training pays off" Serena said, clutching her hands together. With Bonnie, who was sitting to her left looked at her worryingly.

"It will, Ash is strong he knows what he's doing" Dawn said, confidently. The bluenette couldn't help but keep staring at Ash as he was talking with Pikachu 'at least I hope so'.

Barry, who was sitting next to Dawn quickly got out of his seat "YOU BETTER NOT LOSE ASH OR I'M GOING TO FINE YOU BIG TIME!" Barry yelled, with everyone looking at him weirdly.

Paul just scoffed as he sat next to Barry "If he doesn't win, it's his own fault" Dawn after hearing that wanted nothing more than to pounce on the Sinnoh trainer, but she just tried to ignore it.

Brock looked at Ash, as the young trainer approached his side of the battlefield with Pikachu on his shoulder "Come on Ash, you can beat him"

Ash looked around at the stone stands, there must've been at least ten thousand people and millions watching on TV. Ash then looked at the giant screen in between the stands, it had Tobias's and Ash's faces on it with six black circles on each side.

The trainer looked across the field to see a referee with a green and red flag in each hand "Representing Kanto, is Ash from Pallet town. Representing Sinnoh is Tobias from umm an unknown city"" Tobias was still a mystery to everyone, there were many theories but none seemed to make sense "This will be a six on six battle, there is no time limit and both trainers may switch their Pokemon as much as they choose" Ash clutched his fists 'I can't loose again, if I do then nothing I've done will have mattered' the trainer thought in his head "The battle will be over when all six Pokemon on one side are unable to continue" Tobias knew that this battle will be much closer than last times and Tobias hoped that it will be the best battle that he's ever had "Trainers; present your Pokemon"

Tobias simply threw a Pokéball that he had concealed in his red cloak onto the battlefield, it popped opened blinding everyone with a blue light. Latios who appeared, already flew up in the air and flew back down, levitating in front of his trainer.

"Pika!" Pikachu growled, he wanted to face Latios so badly and finally get some revenge for knocking him out in Sinnoh.

Ash looked at Pikachu with a smile "You ready Pikachu?"

Pikachu smiled back at his trainer "Pikachu!"

"Alright, then Pikachu I choose you!" Pikachu jumped onto the battlefield letting the sparks fly from his red cheeks.

Ash looked up to see Dawn cheering him on with the rest of his friends "I'm going to win this, that I promise"

Hope you all enjoyed this, took me awhile but I thought it turned out alright. Please Fav and Review and I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as I can.
