Tryst with Destiny: The Beginning of the End (Main Story)

80 : A Prehistoric Dust Bout

< AUTHOR NOTE BEGINS >

Now before we begin this chapter we see that the results of the previous poll are :-

1) Ash will win : This has the most number of votes. The main reasoning is not only the fact that he has got an early lead but also because he has more experience.

2) Tied Result : This is on the 2nd spot. And why shouldn't it be. All the battle which are being fought are so tight I imagine for some of you it is sending chills down your spines.

3) Interruption by a criminal organization : This is the 3rd most popular option selected. My readers know that the last thing to expect from me is the UNEXPECTED. So I guess this makes sense.

4) Serena Winning : Only 1 person has voted for this. Interesting. Curious. Very Curious.

Now without further ado enjoy this chapter.

(In the Battlefield)

"Looks like you won one round at least. Took you long enough. I was beginning to get worried, thinking that you had lost your touch." Ash says.

"Careful what you poke with a stick. It might just come back and bite you later." Serena says.

"This round goes to Serena Yvonne. Trainers send out your next Pokemon." Referee says.

"Alright then. Time to come out my speedy grass type. Sceptile. I choose you." Ash says as he tosses his Pokemon.

"Scep Sceptile." Sceptile says as he puts a twig in his mouth as a cigar.

"Prepare for some yourself for some prehistoric might. Aerodactyl tame the sky with a fright." Serena says as she tosses her Poke-ball which receives a massive Aerodactyl which starts flying everywhere while baring its teeth at the spectators.

"Here." Serena says in a firm tone as Aerodactyl continues giving blood curling growls. On hearing Serena's voice Aerodactyl lands in front of Serena. It pauses for a moment to everyone's confusion except Ash and Serena's. Then it suddenly gives a growl while baring its teeth as it charges at Serena to everyone's shock. A moment before Aerodactyl is about to pounce on Serena she raises her foot and stomps it out the ground firmly which causes Aerodactyl to come to a stop mere centimeters from Serena's face while both intensely look into one another's eyes. After a few moments Aerodactyl closes its jaws and then bows his head in front of Serena who relaxes her facial expression.

"Oh come here you big prehistoric goof." Serena say while smiling as she scratches Aerodactyl's chin who responds by affectionately nuzzling his beak with Serena's body.

(In the VIP Box)

"I don't believe it." Byron says in a tone of disbelief.

"Yeah. Me neither." Roark replies in an equally dazed tone.

"What are you all so shocked about. I thought you two would be the last people to be shocked about a prehistoric Pokemon given the fact that you spend all your time digging up fossils of prehistoric Pokemon all the time." Cynthia says.

"While it's true that we have seen many an Aerodactyl in our lives we have never seen one like that." Roark says.

"So it's bigger. What's the big deal. Even I have one." Lance says.

"It's size is not why we are surprised." Roark replies.

"Then why are you surprised?" Diantha asks.
