32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 99 Fiore Mansion Gym Battle

Ash walks outside to find Titania, who is standing on the balcony with a frown.

Titania: So that's how it is. I finally said what I needed to. And it only took you dying. Maybe she kills herself. I couldn't stop her anyway. Maybe Lin comes here after all. I guess that's up to you. I'm washing my hands off her. After that stunt, there's no point in playing make-believe anymore. And there's no point in staying here.

Ash: To be honest, I can't say anything in Amaria's defense...I just hope that one day, you'll be able to forgive her.

Titania nods as she flies away with her Skarmory, and Ash also brings Pikachu as they teleported to the battlefield, where Amaria is waiting for them.

Amaria: I'm sorry... "The voice of the sea is seductive; never-ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude." But there's no sea here. There's no soul. And even solitude is too good for me. That's why you're here, right? You're standing there thinking, "She's unforgivable, just give me my Badge already, stop whining for attention, there's nothing really wrong with you." Right?

Ash: Of course not, you might have done something unforgivable, but it is all in the past.

Amaria: But you don't get it! Even if there were nobody here at all, there's still someone there saying those things. It's the part of me that only shuts up when she's around. It's the part of me that I can't kill. You know I've tried. And the worst part is... I don't know who I am without it. There's a part of me still livid with you, too. Maybe you've done nothing wrong. But it's because of you that she's gone. So in the end, one of us is going to have to hold the other under.

Ash: Listen Amaria, I didn't make her leave. I know how Titania cares for you, but you need to wake up!

Amaria: (Sighs) When I battle challengers, I ask them as a formality: Do you prefer Double or Single Battles? I can do either one.

Ash: I prefer the Single Battle, but it is your choice to pick the one suited for you.

Amaria: Singles, huh? Too bad. After all, I never promised to listen. (Sends out Vaporeon named Cirrus and Seismitoad named Cumulus)

Ash: I can also do Doubles. I actually don't mind. (Sending out Sceptile and Lanturn)

Ash has Sceptile goes for Leaf Blade on the Seismitoad, but it dodges the attack, and both Amaria's Pokemon go for Surf, dealing heavily amount of damage to both Pokemon. But Lanturn goes for Thunderbolt, hitting Vaporeon. Seismitoad goes for Sludge Bomb, causing Sceptile to deal a lot of damage. And in the end, Vaporeon is defeated by Leaf Storm and Discharge at the same time. So Amaria goes for her third Pokemon: Primarina named LaReine.

Seismitoad takes a hit from Sceptile's Bullet Seed as it is also knocked out, so Amaria sends out Lanturn named Nimbus. Ash notices that Amaria is going for the Z Move, Oceanic Operetta, and it causes Sceptile to faint, so Ash goes for Tropius next. Amaria has Lanturn goes for Dive, causing the field to be underwater, and then the Electric attack causes Tropius to take a lot of damage because it is being underwater, as for Lanturn, because of Volt Absorb, it heals some more, and it also defeats Primarina in the end.

The fifth Pokemon for Amaria is Blastoise named Shellebelle, and it goes for Mega Evolution and knocks out Lanturn with Aura Sphere. Ash goes for Greninja as his fourth Pokemon, and Lanturn is also knocked out by Tropius' Leaf Storm, but it is also knocked out by the Whirlpool. Ash goes for Pikachu as his fifth Pokemon, while Amaria sends out her final Pokemon: Lapras the Deliverance.
