Ash's Story (Part 6: Unova)

Chapter 43

The next day, Cameron and I are facing each other. "Now this is my secret weapon! Let's go!" Cameron takes out the Pokemon, much to my shock.

"So that's your secret weapon. But you have to know that Iris has one, so I've been practicing with it a lot." I smile. "Now it's my turn! Gigalith!"

When I send out Gigalith, Hydreigon starts out with Tri Attack, and I command Gigalith to dodge, but it doesn't do it fast enough and takes damage. Hydreigon then follows up with Dragon Pulse, and Gigalith takes damage from that as well.

Gigalith recovers and I have it use Rock Blast, but Hydreigon dodges the attack. Gigalith then goes in for a super effective Rock Smash, which is commanded by Cameron to be dodged by Hydreigon. However, Hydreigon doesn't do it in time and takes super effective damage.

"The real battle's just getting started! Dragon Rush! Let's go!" Hydreigon quickly recovers and fires back with a ground-shaking Dragon Rush, and follows up with a second Tri Attack. After this, I command Gigalith to use Flash Cannon, while Cameron commands Hydreigon to counter with Dragon Pulse. Hydreigon's attack overpowers Gigalith's and knocks it out.

"No wonder you call Hydreigon your secret weapon." I say. "That's a pretty cool Pokemon."

"So are you having a good time?" Cameron asks.

"You bet. I'm excited to see how powerful your Hydreigon is." I say while sending out Darmanitan as my second Pokemon.

"Go for it, Darmanitan! Use Brick Break!" The move lands and causes Hydreigon super effective damage. However, Darmanitan is then hit by Hydreigon's powerful Dragon Pulse attack, but he recovers and plants a Flamethrower on Hydreigon. Directly after, Darmanitan takes two big blows from Hydreigon's Tri Attack and Dragon Rush.

Darmanitan manages to survive and fires right back with a combination of Brick Break and Fire Punches, and everyone in the stands continues to cheer us on. "You're doing great, Darmanitan!"

Hydreigon then goes in for a Double Hit, but Darmanitan dodges and uses Incinerate, which Hydreigon flies up in the air to dodge. This was a mistake, however, because it made Hydreigon vulnerable to Darmanitan's even more powerful Flamethrower attack. Just as Hydreigon is beginning to look weak, I command Darmanitan to use a final Brick Break while Hydreigon is commanded by Cameron to use a final Double Hit. Both Pokémon approach each other with their attacks ready, then Darmanitan's attack dominates Hydreigon's, and finally knocks it out.

"You were great, Darmanitan." I say, then I realize that now Darmanitan is in its Zen mode now.

"Cameron, which Pokemon are you going to use next?" I ask.

"Don't rush me." Cameron strikes his headband and then sends out Ferrothorn.

Ferrothorn's first attack is Metal Claw, which Darmanitan dodges while floating in the air. Its next attack is Pin Missile, which lands but causes Darmanitan minor damage. Darmanitan fires right back with Flamethrower, causing Ferrothorn a lot of damage. However, Ferrothorn fires right back with a Mirror Shot, but Darmanitan dodges and I say, "It's time!"

Just then, the Future Sight attack arrives and crashes Ferrothorn, knocking him out.

Samurott is his third Pokemon, Darmanitan is commanded by me to set up Future Sight and also use his Flamethrower, while Samurott is commanded by Cameron to use her Hydro Cannon. Samurott's attack completely overpowers Darmanitan's and causes him massive damage. However, he is still standing and goes right in for a Brick Break, but Samurott easily dodges. Samurott then uses a super effective Aqua Jet, which knocks Darmanitan out. But at least the Future Sight still hit.

"Well, I can't win all the time, huh? Pikachu! I choose you!"

"Yeah, I get to battle." Pikachu says as he jumps into the field.
