Pokémon Legacy: Come Back to Me

Chapter Forty-Seven

"Pikachu, Quick Attack!" Pikachu raced towards Bisharp with a speed making him invisible.

"Iron Head!" Alain barely had time to call the move, and Bisharp wasn't even able to move, it just braced itself with it's head down in a head-butting position and waits for Pikachu to collide with it. A split second later, there was a burst of smoke and Pikachu suddenly appeared back on his side.

"Pikachu got a lot faster!" Alain complimented. Ash grinned, but didn't respond.

"Guillotine!" Bisharp raced towards Pikachu, ready to release the attack.

"Iron Tail!" Pikachu's tail glowed silver and hardened. He jumped up and flipped around, bringing his tail down on the slashing claws of Bisharp. The moves hit together with a metallic clang, both Pokémon seemingly unhurt.

"Electro Ball!" Pikachu charged up the move and flung the electric ball at Bisharp, who couldn't dodge in time. Bisharp yelled as the electricity shocked him.

"Snarl!"

"Dodge it Pikachu!" Pikachu jumped out of the way, the dark type move sailing past him harmlessly. "Thunderbolt!" Pikachu was still in the air when it opened its body to charge the move. With a defiant yell, Pikachu curled up and released the stored electricity, the move striking Bisharp in a critical place. Bisharp went skidding back as Pikachu landed on the ground gracefully.

"Iron Head!"

"Quick Attack! Finish it off!" Pikachu took off, speeding towards Bisharp. This time, Pikachu's move overpowered Bisharp's and sent the steel type flying into the wall. Alain called his fainted Pokémon back and smirked.

"Weavile let's go!" The dark and ice type appeared with a shrill cry.

"Pikachu come back and take a rest." Pikachu nodded and went back to Ash without complaint. He understood that if his trainer won today, he would need Pikachu at his strongest for the champion battle tomorrow.

Lucario it's your turn. Ash sent to his beloved fighting type. Lucario left her trainer's side and stepped into the battlefield, ready to go.

"Battle Begin!"

"Aura Sphere!" Ash called the first move. Lucario growled and charged up the powerful fighting type move, sending the blue sphere speeding for Weavile.

"Dodge!" Weavile sprang to the side, rolling over its hands and standing back up.

"Ice Beam!"

"Counter with Ice Punch!" A jagged blue stream of light sped towards Lucario, who's fist glowed blue as she punched out, colliding with the opposing move and disintegrating it.

"Dark Pulse!"

"Dodge, then use Aura Sphere once more!" Lucario jumped up, avoiding Weavile's move, and charging her move, releasing it downwards, where gravity would help give it extra power. The attack hit, and since it was doubly effective, Weavile fainted.

"Return!" Alain called. "Thank you friend." Alain looked up with a smile.

"Thank you for giving me such an enjoyable battle! This is more fun than the last time we battled Ash!"

"Same!" Ash called back, grinning at his old friend.

"Charizard, let's go!" Alain's strongest Pokémon appeared with a roar. It got bigger! It's almost half a foot bigger than it was 6 years ago!

"Lucario, I'll stay with you for now." Ash said. Lucario growled in agreement, getting into a battle stance.

"Battle Begin!"
