Ash x Serena Rise of the forgotten hero

The Champions' Battle

"Aurorus, let's go!" Diantha called out, her voice clear and commanding.

Ash grinned, gripping his Poké Ball tightly. "Tyranitar, I choose you!"

In two brilliant flashes of light, the battlefield came alive. Aurorus materialized first, its shimmering, icy form gleaming under the stadium lights. It let out a melodious cry, mist curling off its frigid body as snow began to gently fall. Opposite it, Tyranitar emerged with a ground-shaking roar, its massive form exuding raw, unyielding power. The crowd erupted, the anticipation crackling like electricity through the stadium.

"Aurorus versus Tyranitar!" the referee announced, raising both flags high. "Let the battle begin!"

Almost immediately, the weather shifted. The snow intensified, the battlefield blanketed in a shimmering frost as Aurorus' hidden ability, Snow Warning, activated. The crowd marvelled as the icy conditions took hold, the arena now resembling a winter wonderland.

Diantha made the first move. "Aurorus, use Blizzard!"

Aurorus roared, summoning a furious gust of icy winds and snow that barrelled toward Tyranitar with incredible force.

Ash's eyes narrowed. "Flamethrower, counter it!"

Tyranitar inhaled deeply before unleashing a searing stream of flames. The blazing fire clashed against the raging snowstorm mid-air, sparks and frost flying everywhere. Though the flames nullified much of the Blizzard, icy shards still broke through, slamming into Tyranitar and coating parts of its body in frost.

"Tyranitar, don't let it slow you down! Use Crunch!" Ash commanded.

With a thunderous roar, Tyranitar charged forward, its jaw glowing ominously dark as it prepared to sink its teeth into Aurorus.

"Thunderbolt, now!" Diantha countered.

Aurorus shot a bolt of electric energy, the crackling lightning streaking through the snowstorm. Tyranitar roared in pain as the bolt struck, but Ash clenched his fist.

"Push through it, Tyranitar!" he shouted.

The crowd gasped as Tyranitar, shaking off the lingering electricity, lunged forward and sank its teeth into Aurorus with devastating force. Aurorus reeled, letting out a pained cry as the attack landed, but it wasn't down yet.

"Blizzard again!" Diantha ordered.

Aurorus summoned another ferocious storm, the icy winds blasting toward Tyranitar with relentless force.

"Stone Edge, surround yourself!" Ash countered swiftly.

Tyranitar stomped the ground, summoning jagged stones that shot up and encircled it like a protective barrier. The Blizzard collided with the stones, breaking apart harmlessly.

"Now! Flamethrower!"

Emerging from behind its stone shield, Tyranitar unleashed another fiery blast. The flames surged forward, slamming into Aurorus and dealing a clean hit. The icy Pokémon staggered but quickly recovered, shaking itself off.

"Flash Cannon!" Diantha called out, her voice sharp and precise.

Aurorus' body glowed momentarily before it unleashed a silvery beam of light. The Flash Cannon struck Tyranitar squarely, sending it skidding back with a pained roar.

Diantha saw her moment. "Finish this with Dragon Tail!"

Aurorus' tail shimmered with a brilliant green light as it charged forward, cutting through the icy terrain with precision.

Ash's eyes blazed with determination. "We're not backing down! Tyranitar, use Iron Tail!"

Tyranitar's massive tail gleamed metallic silver as it met Aurorus' glowing tail mid-air. The clash was explosive, the two titanic forces vying for dominance. The crowd was on the edge of their seats, their cheers deafening as sparks flew from the collision.
