Don't Give Up... Until The End - An Amourshipping Story

Chapter 28

It is now the final day of an eventful academic year for Ash. Right now, he is about to start his battle against Calem for the title of a Kalos Elite 4.

Ash won the very first battle they had while Calem won the second one. For this third battle, both sides wanted to do their best.

We rejoin the action as Calem's Chesnaught and Ash's Pikachu are about to go against each other.

No one's POV

"Alright, this battle will be between Chesnaught and Pikachu. Battle begin!" yelled the referee.

As soon as the referee said that, Ash glanced at Serena to find her smiling back at him. He knew that he had to win this battle for her. He knew that he had her support and that's exactly what he needed. Ash then looked back at the battlefield and started.

"Alright Pikachu, let's start things off with Volt Tackle!" commanded Ash.

"Pika!" replied the Pokemon as it started charging towards Chesnaught with a thick veil of electricity surrounding it.

Calem, however, was ready. He had been thinking about all the moves Pikachu had in its arsenal. He knew that Ash would start with Pikachu... he always does. That's why he chose Chesnaught. Calem knew that he could have chosen one of his other Pokemon, however, he knew Chesnaught was his best Pokemon. Chesnaught had been with Calem since it was just a tiny little Chespin. They worked together and grew together. Calem knew that him and Chesnaught had a very special bond... and that that bond would be very important if they were to stand a chance against Ash and Pikachu.

"Chesnaught, Wood Hammer!" yelled Calem.

Chesnaught grunted as a green, holographic log appeared on his arm. The Pokemon charged towards Pikachu while getting ready to swing the arm at it.

Ash's eyes immediately widened as he realised that this was the exact situation they were in during their previous battle. He knew both Pikachu and Chesnaught were going too fast to stop. He needed to think of a way to dodge it somehow... and that's when he remembered something he learnt during his time in Sinnoh.

"Pikachu, spin and dodge!" yelled Ash.

Pikachu understood exactly what Ash meant. Pikachu got as close to Chesnaught as possible, and as Chesnaught started swinging, Pikachu quickly span to the right thus dodging Chesnaught's attack.

This surprised both Chesnaught and Calem. This was something Ash had never shown before as he didn't see the need to use it. Chesnaught stopped in his tracks and turned around to face Pikachu.

After dodging, Pikachu quickly found his footing again turned around to face Chesnaught.

"Pikachu, use Thunder!" commanded Ash.

Pikachu immediately jumped into the air and shot a bolt of lightning into the air. Moments later, a much more powerful bolt of lightning shot back down from the heavens towards Chesnaught.

"Chesnaught, use Frenzy Plant to cover youself!" yelled Calem with panic evident in his voice.

The Thunder was speeding down. Chesnaught slammed his fists into the ground and giant vines shot out of the ground and started surrounding Chesnaught in a protective dome.

The Thunder finally landed, and as it hit the dome, it exploded causing both attacks to cancel each other out. Chesnaught stood there completely unharmed.

Ash gasped at the sight. It was a clever idea and it worked winders for Calem.

"Now, Earthquake!" instructed Calem.
