They thought they were terrorizing a kid in hope for him to break up into pieces.. In reality, they merely poked a predator unaware till it bared its fangs at them to devour them out... Calem never hated Ash, he despised him.. There is a subtle but a massive difference between the two words...

Calem never said anyone to bully him.. He never asked kids to blame everything on him.. All he did was stand in the shadows and watch Ash.. Sometime indirectly help him... People are stupid.. If there is someone they idolize, everything the person will do will be a order or trend for them to follow... Calem was a celebrity, at least on school level...

The smartest one among second year..

A person feared by strongest of trainers for battling skills..

The guy who everyone idolized.. It was expected what he would do shall be followed.. Despite knowing way to people's heart Calem never used it to his own advantage ever because he knew how far he needed to push Ash... Now that all four of them, the trainers and pokemon on their knees they wondered who won...

"Guess my calculations were wrong..." Calem stood up supporting his limp biceps which wasn't moving up from cramps.. He looked at Ash who was on his knees... He clicked his tongue at the outcome dragging his body toward Chesnaught who was burnt down with hundreds of third degrees burn and bruises while Ash's Charizard was down with a broken horn, massive hole on its stomach, broken wings, melted wax, torn under wings and in simple words almost dead...

"Calem, you okay?" A medic stood next to him checking him moving his arm slowly looking for any fracture which didn't seemed the case.. Just a few splinters tore down his skin and nothing else...

"Go look at Ash and pokemons.. They are more important than me..." He bumped on the ground with a thud laying down looking at the sky trying to straighten his arm which was difficult.. So a tie then? No... He wouldn't allow such ridiculous outcome at any rate.. The medics dashed toward the two pokemon picking them up and placed them on stretchers treating their wounds grimacing at the injuries the two pokemon had...

They should have been dead by now... 

Huge wound were gaped onto the body of the two pokemons.. The Chesnaught's fist was thrusted right into the stomach of the fire type 4 inches deep into his skin.. The medic leaned over to his body hearing for his heartbeat... He nodded his head as all of them sighed in relief and picked the pokemon up in the strecher dashing toward the ICU for their treatment..

Extracting the poison, healing the wounds, reattaching the broken bones and wrist, applying wax on its wings and filling all the holes.. There was a lot of work they needed to do.. The two machamps picked it up as the two people turned their attention to the trainer...
