Chapter 100

Battle Pyramid 1and

The Berry forest

The time for Ash to face Brandon was now here. After witnessing Regirock battling the tomb robber's Victreebel yesterday, Ash had a good think about what pokemon he should use against Regirock. Ash had also asked Brandon if he had Registeel and Regice, but Brandon didn't yet and he was searching for them.

Now everyone was in the Battle Pyramid and Ash and Brandon had taken their places on the battlefield. Scott and the others were in the audience seats. "I wonder what  pokemon Ash is going to use?" said May. "Probably one of his legendary  pokemon" said Max. "Actually he isn't;" said Brock "Ash told me that using a legendary pokemon would make this battle too easy for him to win. Ash wants to have a real challenge against Regirock so he will be using a non-legendary pokemon". "That makes sense," said Scott "Ash's Lugia was equally matched with Articuno when he faced Nolan, and his Celebi easily took down Spencer's Claydol in just a few minutes. So I understand what Ash is feeling". Samuel explained that the challenge was a one on one  pokemon and declared it to begin.

After Brandon tossed out his Regirock, Ash tossed out his Gyarados. "Gyarados is a good choice because its water attacks would defeat a rock type  pokemon like Regirock" said Max. "Yes but that tomb robber's Victreebel was easily defeated without Regirock breaking a sweat" said Brock. Ash started off by telling his Gyarados to use dragon breath, but Regirock dodged it and fought back with stone edge. "Use iron tail to break the stones Gyarados and then move in with aqua tail" said Ash. Gyarados broke the stones like a sword and then she moved towards Regirock and hit it with aqua tail. "Hey Gyarados is doing well" said May. "Yes but look, Regirock is still standing strong like the aqua tail didn't do a thing" said Max. "Well it is a legendary  pokemon" Tomo pointed out. Brandon ordered his Regirock to use sandstorm, which spread sand everywhere. Ash had an idea; he ordered Gyarados to use rain dance. When it started to rain the sand storm vanished. Max pointed out that rain dance would power up Gyarados' water type moves. Ash ordered Gyarados to use hydro pump next and Regirock got hit by it. "Bullseye!" said Tomo "Regirock will be in trouble now". Regirock did get weakened a lot from that attack, but it was still not beaten yet. Brandon told Regirock to use lock on. Ash warned Gyarados to be careful because the next attack would be a direct hit. The next attack was a surprise; Regirock knew zap cannon. Thanks to the move lock on, Gyarados got hit by the zap cannon. "Oh no Gyarados is in trouble now;" said Max "since its part water and flying zap cannon is really effective". Ash called out to Gyarados and asked her if she was okay. Gyarados was hurt from the zap cannon attack, but she was still hanging on a bit. "If Gyarados gets hit one more time it will be over" said Brock. Ash told Gyarados to use hydro pump one more time. Brandon told his Regirock to dodge and use stone edge. Regirock dodged the hydro pump and tossed stone edge at Gyarados. Gyarados didn't have the chance to dodge the stones and got hit by them. She couldn't take anymore after that attack and fainted. So Ash lost the challenge.

Ash went over to Gyarados and asked her if she was okay. She was fine, but she was disappointed that she lost the battle. "Don't worry Gyarados, Regirock was just stronger than us that's all" said Ash, kindly. Ash figured that Regirock would be very tough to beat despite the advantage type. Brandon returned his Regirock and spoke to Ash. "That was a fine battle you gave me young man, despite the lost," he said "and I could see the trust between you and Gyarados". "I've had Gyarados ever since I started becoming a  pokemon trainer; I caught her as a Magikarp on the first day" said Ash. "That explains it and it proves you are connected with your  pokemon" said Brandon. "Is it alright for me to ask you for a rematch?" asked Ash. "Yes but you will have to wait a while, because I have ruins to visit" said Brandon. "I understand and I can wait," said Ash "and I will train myself and my pokemon more for the rematch".
