Ash has arrived at the next room. Once the boy enters, he found an old lady waiting.
"So, you're the boy Gary and Samuel have mentioned..." She mentioned, before Ash could respond back, "Don't bother, I got one of my Gengar to look at your face."
".... They must have told you a lot about me." Ash stated.
"Well yes. You have me intrigued, the boy who never evolved his Pokémon at first and got far in leagues. Even with just your Pikachu, it reminds me of your father." She told him, making him shocked.
"You knew my father?" Ash asked.
She nodded, "20 years ago, your father came and me and the others, and then beat Gary's in a battle... He was champion until his disappearance..."
"You know why?" The boy asked.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Agatha, the Ghost Elite four, if you want to know more and continue this challenge," She revealed one of her pokeballs. "You must beat me in a battle."
"Nidoqueen, let's go!" Nidoqueen(56) was sent out and get ready to battle.
"Arbok(53), stand by!" She tosses it up and reveal the Cobra Pokémon.
"Use Earthquake!" Ash told his partner. Arbok tempted to dodge it but failed and easily fainted.
"Arbok, return." Agatha returns her and get ready her second Pokemon, "Gengar(53), lets battle!"
"Gar!" Gengar comes out.
"Use Shadow Ball!" Nidoqueen charges the attack but, Agatha quickly counters, "Go into the ground!" Gengar fades into the ground to dodge, causing them to look for it. But Genger was secretly hiding.
"Will- o- Wisp." Before Nidoqueen can react, Gengar fires a Will-o-Wisp, hitting Nidoqueen as fire sor, (Nidoqueen- 95, Flame).
"Nidoqueen, use-" Agatha quickly counters, "Sucker Punch." Gengar appear front of Nidoqueen and punches him, sending him off the ground. (Nidoqueen- 77, Flame).
"Think..." Ash started to think and thought a way to hold him. "Nidoqueen!" Nidoqueen looked at him as Ash done sign language, making her nodded, leaving Agatha confused but interested on the plan the two thoughts. "Shadow Ball!"
"Sucker Punch." Gengar was about to punch until the Drill Pokémon quickly dodge by ducking.
"Now Poison Fang!" Pikachu launches the web, making it flincch the Shadow Pokémon. "Now hit 'em hard with Thunderbolt!" Pikachu quickly fires one, causing the Gengar to faint. (Nidoqueen- 67, Flame)
"Impressive. Was that sign language?" Agatha asked.
Ash nods, "I met a new friend and she can't speak, so it's easier for us to communicate like this." She laughed.
"Now for my last Pokémon, I've been saving this if I ever join the tournament." Agatha reveal a Marowak(63), but in its Alolan form.
"No way, you got a Alolan Marowak?!" Ash asked.
"Last year, we went to Alola for a vacation and happened to stumble upon him." Agatha explained.
"If I remember right, It's a fire/ghost... I can still use Earthquake... But... Nidoqueen, how about you rest for the rest of the battle."
"Nido?" Nidoqueen asked.
"You're tired, and I want to keep you for the Champion just in case." Ash explained to one of his partners.
"Queen..." Nidoqueen gave a quick thought, after a moment, she nodded and went back in her pokeball.
"Alright, Nidokind, let's show your royalty!" Nidoking(54) roars and get into battle stance.
"Use Ice Beam!" Making in shocked but he quickly snaps out of it.
"Protect!" Ash quickly said, Nidoking quickly made a barrier and barely block it.
"Swagger!" Nidoking's attack was raised, but left him confused. (Nidoking- Attack x2, Confused)
"Nidoking!" Ash said with a worried tone as the male Drill Pokémon started to attack itself(Nidoking- 92). "I gotta let him take it... I can't allow other's take more and waste more resources..." Ash than remembers what Gladion has done. "Hope this works... Nidoking, I know it's hard, but hear me out! Use Rock Tomb on yourself, right on the head!" This made Agatha widen her eyes as Nidoking grabbed a boulder and slam his head, breaking it and that snap him out, but did a lot of damage. (Nidoking- 75)
"Confuse Ray!" Agatha said.
"Dodge it and use Earthquake!" The male Drill Pokémon causes one, and as it got increase damage, it almost made it fainted. (Marowak- 34)
"Use Iron Head!" Marowak starts charging but Ash ordered Nidoking to use Rock Tomb, making him faint.
"Well done boy..." Agatha smiles. "Your father was one of the best trainers. He was sure unbeatable. But something always fears him."
"What makes him afraid?" Ash asked.
"Giovanni. Like you, your father defeated Team Rocket. I don't know what brings the organization back. But you must be careful." She explained. "Now, time to fight the last Elite 4."
---------------------------------------------------*Meanwhile*-------------------------------------------
Gary has made it pass a door that was the exit towards the rooms Ash is right now battling in. He saw his father, Blue, who is the champion of Kanto, waiting for him.
"I'm here, what do you need?" Gary asked.
