Chapter 103

Battle Pyramid 3 and

The Terracotta contest

Now Ash and Brandon were ready for their third challenge. Ash knew this would be a tough one especially since Brandon had found Regice and he didn't know what other three pokemon Brandon was going to use. But Ash had faith in his Pikachu, Venasaur and Charizard and Blastoise and he believed he could do it this time. Prof Oak was going to watch the battle as well as Nurse Joy, Scott and the others. The Battle Pyramid's top was open; it was so Ash's Charizard would have the space to fly. Samuel did the usual introductions and explained the battle being a four on four pokemon battle.

Brandon's first pokemon was a Dusclops. Ash sent out his Charizard to battle first. "Charizard let's start with flamethrower" said Ash. "Dusclops will o wisp" said Brandon. The flamethrower and will o wisp collided with each other and caused a small explosion. This meant Brandon's Dusclops was strong as Charizard. "Okay Charizard use air slash" said Ash. Charizard fired air slash attack from his wings. Dusclops got hit by the attack, but then it used shadow punch and punched Charizard. "Whoa that Dusclops packs a punch" said Tomo. "Yeah I think its strength matches Charizard" said Max. Brandon told his Dusclops to use mean look; with mean look Ash wouldn't be able to switch out Charizard. "Charizard it's time to use shadow claw" said Ash. Charizard flew to Dusclops and scratched it with shadow claw. "Shadow claw is a ghost type move," said Prof Oak "an excellent move to use against a ghost type". "I'm impressed with this" said Nurse Joy. "Okay then Dusclops use confuse ray" said Brandon. Poor Charizard got confused by the confuse ray attack, and then Dusclops punched him with shadow claw. "We can do this Charizard," said Ash "we have fought against lots of tough opponents like this in the past. We even faced difficulties like this too, but we never gave up and we are certainly not going to give up now are we?" In his confused state Charizard heard Ash and he started remembering all the battles he had been in ever since he was a Charmander. He even remembered the times he battled when in a paralyzed, frozen confused or a sleepy state. At that moment Charizard snapped out of his confusion and he fired flamethrower at Dusclops, which scored a direct hit. "Well done Charizard," said Ash "now let's show them your strongest move, blast burn". Charizard's body became engulfed in blue flames and then he punched the ground very hard. Energy from the punch went all the way to Dusclops, and then an explosion of red-orange flames burst out of the ground and hit Dusclops. That made Dusclops really hurt now. "Wow what a move" said Max. "What was that?" asked May. "That was blast burn, the strongest fire type move of all," said Prof Oak "Ash's Typhlosion and Blaziken know this move too because only the fire type starter pokemon can learn this move when they have evolved into their final forms". "So when May's Combusken evolves to Blaziken it can learn it too" finished Brock. May thought blast burn was an excellent move indeed. At that moment Brandon told his Dusclops to use shadow ball, which scored a direct hit on Charizard. Now both Charizard and Dusclops were exhausted. "Charizard shadow claw" said Ash. "Dusclops use shadow punch" said Brandon. Charizard and Dusclops struck each other with their attacks. As soon as they did that both Charizard and Dusclops got knocked out, so the first match was a draw. "Those last two attacks were too much for them to carry on" said Brock. "It was a close match between two strong pokemon" said Prof Oak.

Brandon and Ash returned their Dusclops and Charizard and sent out their next pokemon. Brandon's second pokemon was a Ninjask and Ash's second pokemon was Blastoise. Ninjask started off with aerial ace, but Blastoise used rapid spin and Ninjask was bounced off when it tried to tackle Blastoise. "Bubble beam Blastoise" said Ash. Blastoise stopped spinning and sprout bubbles from his mouth and they hit Ninjask. "Ash and his pokemon are putting on such good fights, I can't take my eyes off them" said Nurse Joy. Ninjask fought back using sand storm, making sand fly everywhere. Then Ninjask used sand attack, and the sand got into Blastoise's eyes and blinded him. And then Ninjask tackled it with aerial ace. "Use rain dance Blastoise" said Ash. Blastoise made it rain and the rain washed the sand storm away, and the rain got into Blastoise's eyes and cleaned the sand out. So now Blastoise could see and get back to fighting. "Show them your special move Blastoise, use hydro cannon" said Ash. Blastoise fired two big orbs of water from his cannons and one of them hit Ninjask. Thanks to rain dance the water attack was strong and Ninjask fainted. "I know that move," said Max "the final evolved forms of the water starter pokemon learn that move. I saw a Feraligatr do it on TV once". "Now Brandon is down to two pokemon, while Ash has three" said May.
