KALOS REGION; ALAIN'S KALOS LEAGUE, PRELIMINARY BATTLES! PART.1

Before arriving a Kinnow Island, the gang went through some interesting adventure on different Islands.

Such as...

PINKAN ISLAND; It was an island surrounded by whirlpools and there are also tons of high steep cliffs. Apparently very few people have explored the islands and thus hardly anyone knows what kind of Pokémon are on the island.

The gang accidentally got washed up on Pikan Island due to getting caught in a whirlpool and so they immediately when to find Officer Jenny who apparently works here because this island is highly protected by the Pokémon Reserve.

The gang also found out that all the Pokémon on this island are all the colour PINK! A special type of berry grows on this island, known as; Pikan Berries and any Pokémon who eat the berries turned pink, also the Pokémon only stay pink if they eat the berry all the time.

Then suddenly an alarm alert rings loudly to tell Officer Jenny that someone else was on this island.

The gang came along and saw thieves trying to steal all the Pikan Berries and sell them to people to get money.

Lucky they didn't get any, why? Because Nidoking stopped the thieves before they could run off with the berries, it froze them with an Ice Beam attack and Officer Jenny immediately went to unfreeze them with Growlithe's Flamethrower and then tied them all up.

The gang were amazed by the Nidoking quick thinking.

Apparently this Nidoking is a protector of the Pikan Island known as the Guardian Nidoking.

After the thieves where all tied up and then Officer Jenny told them that she can get them off the island on her boat, which they agreed and they also promise to keep this Pikan Island a secret.

[A/N: Okay, I know there are no thieves involved with Pikan Island, so I added it, instead of Team Rocket appearing. Nidoking is a protector of the Pikan Island, being the strongest Pokémon there.]

• • • • •

Next our heroes passed through a town and heard an announcement from the announcer telling people in town about a show on a boat.

On the boat was a show called the Pokémon Showboat, a wonderful carnival where Pokémon can speak and perform plays.

Of course Pokémon couldn't really talk unless your Team Rocket's Meowth and a powerful Pokémon. It was all human actors acting out their own voices from the back stage, while the Pokémon in the performance mimed the voices.

But a there was a problem with one of the performers, a young actress from the performance named Kay, told them that she has been having problems with her Raichu ever since it shocked her early in their relationship and since then she was afraid of her Raichu and her Raichu was afraid of her.

But all in the end the problem of solved, Kay and her Raichu relationship was back to normal and now they are back to performing with the others actors and Pokémon.

Also the gang all promise to not say anything about the secret of the Pokémon Act.

✿ ---- ⇒ [Break Scene] ⇐ ---- ✿

And now the gang were on Kinnow Island and they are getting ready to go to the Kalos Region, for Alain's Lumiose Conference League.

[A/N: They are on Kinnow Island for a week before continuing their journey.]

"Alright! Everyone ready?" ash asked, everyone.

"Mew~" Yuffie giggled as she floated around her trainer.

Yuffie was out her Pokéball, getting ready to use Teleport, teleporting the gang to Lumiose City.

"Ready!" Both Mairin and Takato replied.

"Pikapi!"

"Rai Rai!"

"Arf!"

"Ches!"

Alain and Volkner nodded.

Yuffie being a mythical Pokémon and one of the strongest Psychic is able to teleport from region to another region, so she ready to use her powers to teleport them.

"Yuffie, Teleport." ash said.

"Okay!" The new species Pokémon chirped, with a nod and used her powers to teleport everyone, they all vanished or teleported to Lumiose City.

✿ ---- ⇒ [Break Scene] ⇐ ---- ✿

The gang and Pokémon all appeared away from the Lumiose City, they didn't want to cause a scene.

"Thanks Yuffie." ash smiled at her Pokémon.

"Mew~ Your very welcome!" Yuffie giggled and than was returned back to her Pokéball.

Alain ran his hand through his hair, "We better get going." He sighs.

"Eevui!" Eevee left himself out of his Pokéball and looked around, "Eevui? (Where are we?)" He asked.

"Pikachu. (Kalos.)" Light said.

"Eevee, come on." Alain said, he wasn't surprise by his evolution Pokémon, letting himself out.

"Eevui! (Okay!)" Eevee smiled, he had a Black Belt tied around his waist and jumped onto his trainer shoulder.

The gang walked out of the woods, entering the path and started to head to the Lumiose Stadium to sign up, Alain went inside will the others waited outside for him.

The monitor around the city, showed a image of young woman with pink hair, gold eyes and glasses, holding a microphone in front of the Lumiose City Stadium.

"The entire city of Lumiose is celebrating the Kalos League. The city is blossoming with excitement and the fan are eagerly waiting for it to being." The reporter announced, "I'm Malva Pachira and I'll be covering the Kalos League and all of it excitement."

Volkner looked seeing a familiar face from the distance, "Malva Pachira? I forget that she's a news reporter as well." He said.

The two kids looked at the Sunyshore Gym Leader, "You know her?" They both asked.

"I've meet her three times because of Flint. Malva Pachira, she's one of the Elite Four in the Kalos Region, who specialises in Fire-type." Volkner explained, as he crossed his arms, "And if I remember, her Houndoom and Female Pyroar give Flint quite a challenge."

"Who won?" ash asked, curiously.

"The score is even. Flint won the first time and than the second was a draw, but the third time battle Malva won. Her Houndoom Mega Evolved to take Flint's Infernape out."

ash smiled, "So the scores are a even still, one scores each." She said.

Volkner nodded.

"How about we interview some trainers who are competing in the tournament? Let's go." Malva walked off to the crowd of trainers.

ash winces, she can't deal with reporters, she made sure to stay behind Volkner.

"Big brother/ Alain will avoid this." Mairin and Takato both deadpanned.

Volkner chuckled, "Knowing Alain, he will." He said.

ash giggled, "But even me." She added.

"But still... This place is huge." Takato awed, looking around.

Zack barked agreeing.

"It's Kalos." Volkner said.

"Hmm." ash agreed.

Alain came back outside, he was just finished signing up for the Lumiose Conference.

"Where are going next?" Takato asked.

Before anyone could answer, a voice called out to the Sycamore siblings.

"Alain! Mairin! Over here!" A male voice called out.

Alain and Mairin looked to the side seeing someone that they haven't seen in awhile, "Grandfather." They said.

Alain's and Mairin's grandfather, Augustine Sycamore; the Professor of Kalos Region who studies about Mega Evolution, was here at the Lumiose Conference as well.

Professor Sycamore smiled at his grandson and granddaughter, "How are you and Mairin?" He asked.

"Great!" Mairin smiled.

"We're doing great." Alain replied.

"Chespin!" Chespie called out towards the Kalos Professor.

Professor Sycamore looked down and smiled at the spiny nut Pokémon, "Good to see you too Chespie." He patted his head, "Keeping my trouble magnet granddaughter out of trouble?"

Chespie nodded, "Chespin! (I am!)"

Mairin scowled, "I'm not a trouble magnet."

Alain gave his little sister a blank look, he lost count how many times he saved her from falling in weird situations.

Volkner raised an eyebrow at that.

"Yes you are, yes you are." Takato chimed in.

"(Definitely.)" Zack barked.

"Pikachu. (I'll say.)" Light said.

"Raichu Rai Raichu. (I find it hard to believe your not.)" Raichu said.

ash giggles, as she heard what the Pokémon said.

Mairin pouted, facing away from them, "So mean~"

Professor Sycamore chuckled and notice the others, "Well, it's nice to meet all of Alain's friends." He greeted them. "ash, Takato, Volkner and I can't forget the Pokémon as well, Lightning, Zackary and Raichu."

"Nice to meet you too Professor Sycamore." ash greeted back.

"Pika!" Light gave a paw.

"Nice to meet ya!" Takato said.

Zack barked.

"Nice to meet you." Volkner said.

"Rai." Raichu smiled.

"What are you doing here grandfather?" Mairin asked, curiously.

Professor Sycamore grinned, "Well you see, I'll be here observing the entire competition with Diantha Carnet, the Kalos Champion." He said.

Alain nodded, it makes sense with him being here now.

"So tell me about your Orange Islands Adventure so far?" Professor Sycamore asked.

The gang walked off, with the two excited kids telling the Kalos Professor all about their journey, what has happened so far .

Professor Sycamore chuckled at the two kids, excitement faced and voices.

After talking to Professor Sycamore, he left, telling them he got a schedule, the gang said goodbye and they all headed off the room.

The gang got settled in their rooms, ash and Mairin shared one room and the boys shared another room, next door to each other.

• • • • •

In the afternoon at Lumiose City, held all the trainers who are competing in the league at a location where there was tables set up and had plates of all different food on them.

The gang stood away from the crowd, Midday Lycanroc laying down beside Alain's feet, eating with Eevee, Light, Zack, Helioptile and Chespie. Though, Lycanroc was getting some stares from others trainers, which he easily ignored.

"It's different to the Kanto League." ash said, munching on some sandwiches.

"Totally." Takato and Mairin agreed.

"Looks like it's starting." Volkner commented.

The gang turned to looked at the front of the area, where a middle age man, stepped up to the microphone stand.

"Ladies and gentlemen! We will now announce the match up for the first round!" The male announcer announced on the microphone.

Every trainer looked at the large monitor in front of them.

"Up on the monitor!" The announcer raised his right arm to the monitor, "... There you have them!"

The screen showed all 64 trainers competing and then it shuffled all the trainers, then in a few second the screen showed who was battling against who.

Alain saw that he was in the first round against a trainer with shoulder length, spiky orange hair and green eyes.

"Interesting." The spiky orange hair teen smiled, seeing his first opponent.

"Big brother is up first." Mairin said.

"Whose that?" Takato asked.

"Who knows..."

The three older laughed silently.

• • • • •

The next day came for the Kalos League to begin.

ash and the others were sitting in the stands, getting ready to cheer for their friend/ boyfriend and brother.

[A/N: There might not be a lot of switching between the gang and the battle.]

The opening ceremony started in the stadium with two girls opening up a large Pokéball and released multiple Fletchling.

"A beautiful clear blue sky hearts the beginning of this much anticipating event, the Kalos League is on!" A male announcer announced to everyone.

The crowd loudly cheers.

Diantha Garnet and Professor Augustine Sycamore was sitting in the VIP area.

"First up our opening ceremony. Kalos Champion, Diantha Garnet will deliver the opening speech!"

The crowd cheered, as the Kalos Champion stood up and stepped forward.

"To all the trainers, your efforts and experiences are treasured that will always be with you." Diantha spoked as her voice was echoed throughout the entire stadium, "And now it is the time to put all of this to the test, the Kalos League demands that you give it everything you've got and demonstrate all your hard work and dedication. It's my great honour to declare this year Kalos League... Open!"

The crowd went wild and the fireworks of glittering flakes [What are they called again?] was exploded.

"The two trainers competing in this opening battle is... Joe Tomaru!"

A teen around Alain's age with spiky orange hair and green eyes, walked until the end of the platform. He wore a black, white collar shirt with long brown pants and black sneakers, also wearing a pair of brown fingerless gloves.

"And Alain Sycamore!"

Alain walked across the platform till the end, he stopped looking at his opponent.

"The battle format will be 3-on-3 until the semi-finals!" In the centre of the stadium the field was raising up, revealing a top of a rock? "In addition the battle fields will be randomly selected! So the field for our opening battle is..."

"A Water and Rock battle field!"

A judge with greenish/brown hair and blue/green eyes walked onto the field, wearing a suit with the Pokémon League logo on it.

"Trainers, please bring out your Pokémon!" The judge said, as his voice was echoed throughout the stadium.

Joe looked at his opponent, he took out a Pokéball, "Well... Diggersby! Go!" He sent out the digging Pokémon.

"Diggersby!" It said.

Alain took out a Pokéball, "Gallade, let's go." He sent out the blade Pokémon.

"Gallade Gallade. (Prepare yourself.)" Gallade said, eyeing his opponent.

"A Mega Stone." Joe whispered, he saw the stone that was engraved on a red and black sash, tied around the blade Pokémon waist. "Good thing I have one of my own."

• • • • •

"Eh? Gallade is up first?" Mairin said, confused.

"Already?" Takato said.

ash looked at the Pokémon, she pulled out her Pokédex and scanned the large rabbit like Pokémon.

[Diggersby, the Digging Pokémon. The evolved form of Bunnelby. Diggersby can easily lift a boulder weighting over a ton with its powerful ears.]

"Alain is using one of his strongest Pokémon first huh. This is going to be interesting round." Volkner commented, amused, slightly. "Wonder how Joe Tomaru will handle this round?"

• • • • •

"It's Diggersby VS Gallade. Who will win?"

"Let the match begin!" The judge announced.

"Diggersby use Gunk Shot!" Joe attacked first.

"Gallade use Agility, then double Leaf Blade." Alain countered.

The digging Pokémon fired larger hunk of poisonous blob at the blade Pokémon, who disappeared from his spot and reappeared behind Diggersby with both arms having a glowing green blade, he slashed twice making the opponent cry out in pain.

"DIGGERSBY!" It cried out in pain, from the super effective attacks.

"Diggersby!" Joe watched as his Pokémon was sent into the air.

"Incredible! Gallade has the first strike in attack! Also what a fast Gallade?! I didn't see it move at all."

"Once more." Gallade used Teleport and slashed two more Leaf Blade attacks, directly at the digging Pokémon that sent it back down, crashing into the rock field.

• • • • •

Diantha observed, "Your grandson trained his Gallade very well. The only one I've been able to see a Pokémon move that fast is ashley Mew Ketchum Pokémon's." She complimented.

Professor Sycamore chuckled, "You'll be surprise, who he trains with."

• • • • •

"Achoo." ash sneezed, slight, "Huh..."

"Pikachu?" Light looked up seeing her trainers face, she tilted her head, "Pikapi."

Volkner looks at his girlfriend, "You okay?"

"Yeah. Someone is talking about me."

• • • • •

"Gallade." The blade Pokémon appeared in front of his trainer.

Diggersby was on the ground with swirling eyes, "... Dig... Diggersby..." It said, unconsciously.

The judge raised his right arm, "Diggersby is unable to battle! Gallade wins!"

The crowd cheered loudly.

"Joe Tomaru, please call out your next Pokémon!" The judge ordered.

Joe returned back his fallen Pokémon, "Trevenant, Go!" He sent out his seconded Pokémon.

"Tre Trevenant!" It said.

• • • • •

"Yikes!" Takato yelped.

Zack barked, surprised.

"Chespin!" Chespie blinked.

"What a scary looking Pokémon." Mairin said.

"Pikachu Pikachu Pika. (That Pokémon reminds me of a old tree.)" Light said.

ash scanned the tree-like ghost Pokémon.

[Trevenant, the Elder Tree Pokémon. The evolved form of Phantump. Trevenant is able to control trees. It traps this who cause harm to the forest and never let them escape.]

ash pushed a button on the Pokédex to learn more about the Pokémon.

[Note: Trevenant is a Ghost and Grass Type Pokémon.

Second Note: Trevenant is the only known Pokémon capable of learning Forest's Curse.]

"Raichu Rai Raichu. (That explains the appearance of a ghost tree and old tree together.)" Raichu commented.

"Fascinating Pokémon." Volkner commented, "So Trevenant is like a guardian of the forest it claims."

ash agreed, "I wonder if I can catch one for mum's garden, it is like a forest." She thought, loudly.

• • • • •

"It's Trevenant VS Gallade now! Will Trevenant be able to land a hit on Gallade?!"

"Let the battle begin!" The judge announced.

"Trevenant use-" Joe was cut off.

"Gallade use Aerial Ace." Alain interrupted.

"Gallade!" Gallade jumped and disappeared from his spot, striking the elder tree Pokémon in the stomach as he reappeared.

"Leech Seed while it's close!" Joe shouted out, quickly.

"Will-O-Wisp!" Alain countered, automatically.

The elder tree Pokémon stood its ground from the effective attack and fired seeds towards the blade Pokémon, who countered by summoning mini flames around himself and then sent them towards the Leech Seed attack.

Both Leech Seed and Will-O-Wisp hit each other causing a explosion.

Joe cursed, "Where is it!" He couldn't see from the smoke.

"Night Slash!" Gallade ran out of the

smoke and hit Trevenant directly with two Night Slash attacks.

"TREVENANT!!" The elder tree Pokémon got hit directly and it couldn't take any more of the attacks, it fainted.

The judge raised his right arm, "Trevenant is unable to battle! Gallade wins the round!" He announced.

The crowed cheered.

"Incredible! Alain's Gallade was able to use the smoke from the explosion to its advantage and strike down Joe's Trevenant! And now Gallade has taken out two of Joe's Pokémon! Joe is down to his last! What will it be?"

"Joe Tomaru called out your last Pokémon." The judge ordered.

"Your my last! Alakazam, go!" Joe sent out his final Pokémon, the psi Pokémon but this one has a Mega Stone on it.

"Gallade." The blade Pokémon eyed the Alakazam, carefully.

"Alakazam use Teleport then Shadow Ball!" Joe commanded.

"Use Cut." Alain said.

Alakazam fires six Shadow Ball at the blade Pokémon, who cut them in half as he dodges the Shadow Ball and attacking.

"Psychic!" Alakazam eyed glowed blue outline to control the blade Pokémon but...

"Shadow Sneak." Gallade disappears into the rocky floor, avoiding the Psychic attack.

"Where is it." Joe looked around.

Alakazam was also looking around the area.

"Well well, it seems like Gallade was able to avoid Alakazam's Psychic attack by using Shadow Sneak. Now question is... Where is Gallade?"

"Now Gallade, use X-Scissor." Alain called out.

Gallade snuck out of the shadow from behind Alakazam's and struck it with a X-Scissor, a super effective attack.

"Alakazammmmm!" It cried out in pain.

Gallade used Teleport and returned back to his trainer side of the field.

"Alakazam! We can't even get an attack on that Gallade. Alakazam, use Recover!" Joe commanded.

Alakazam closed his eyes and had a yellow outline around it.

"Recovering itself. He must be going for a Mega Evolution." Alain observed.

"Gallade?" The Blade Pokémon looked at his trainer.

"We'll wait. Beside you always wanted to battle against a Mega Evolution Pokémon."

Gallade nodded and watched his opponent carefully.

Alakazam injuries were all healed, "Alakazam."

"Alakazam get ready! Mega Evolve!" Joe pressed the Key Stone that was on the bracelet.

Alakazam Mega Evolved into Mega Alakazam.

"Mega Alakazam use Dazzling Gleam!" Joe ordered.

Gallade dodge the pink beam by using Teleport and then he continued to dodge with Agility, avoiding the Dazzling Gleam attacks. He kicked the psi Pokémon away from him when he saw the chance.

Joe got frustrated, "How fast is that Gallade!" He shouted out, annoyed.

"INCREDIBLE! Gallade is holding its ground, even against a Mega Evolution Pokémon! Truely amazing!"

The crowd cheered loudly.

"Gallade." The blade Pokémon gave his trainer a look. "Gallade..."

Alain nodded, "I think that's enough as well. Never battle against an Mega Alakazam before." Alain smirked, he revealed his Key Stone, "Keystone, respond to my heart!" He pressed his middle and index fingers against his own Keystone before raising his wrist with the Mega Ring into the air. "Beyond evolution, Mega Evolve!"

Gallade appeared changed, as he evolution into his Mega form.

"Mega Alakazam VS Mega Gallade! A Mega Battle! Also Gallade doesn't even look tired from all those battles!"

The crowd went wild because of the Mega Evolution battle that is going to start now.

"Double Team then Shadow Ball!" Joe commanded.

Alakazam made ten copies of itself, surround the blade Pokémon and all of them launched a Shadow Ball all at once.

"Gallade!" Gallade eyed all the copies and jumped, avoiding all the Shadow Ball, doing flips in midair.

"End this. Use Signal Beam and Night Slash." Alain said.

Gallade pulled back, fired a Signal Beam at the Mega psi Pokémon.

"Quickly use Dazzling Gleam to counter it!" Alakazam fired a Dazzling Gleam attack.

Both Signal Beam and Dazzling Gleam hit each other, causing a explosion in the centre of the field.

Gallade teleported behind the psi Pokémon who was surprise and then struck it with two Night Slash attacks.

"ALAKAZZAMMM!" It cried out in pain and it collapsed after, it couldn't handle anymore attacks.

"No Alakazam!" Joe cried out.

Mega Alakazam reconverted back to its original form with swirling eyes.

Th judge looked at the fallen Pokémon, checking it, "Alakazam is unable to battle! Gallade wins." He announced. "Which means the winner is Alain Sycamore!"

"And Alain Sycamore grabs the first win in the league!"

The crowd cheered loudly.

• • • • •

ash got up from her seat, "Alright!" She exclaimed.

"WOHOOO!" Takato shouted, cheering.

"Way to go big brother!" Mairin shouted out.

Volkner clapped with a small smile on his face.

• • • • •

Professor Sycamore smiled from his seat, "Excellent battle Alain."

"Your grandson is truely an impressive trainer." Diantha commented.

"He is."

• • • • •

"Excellent work Gallade." Alain praised his Pokémon, who was back to his original form.

Gallade nodded.

"Take a good rest." Alain returned back his Pokémon.

✿ ---- ⇒ [Break Scene] ⇐ ---- ✿

The next day of the Kalos League, the second round of the elimination rounds begin.

"The two trainers competing in the second battle round is... Hana Yamato!"

Hana Yamato was a young girl with short brown hair, with a black headband that has a Key Stone handle from the side and brown eyes, with glasses. She wore dark magenta shirt with black shorts, white socks and dark magenta sneakers.

"And Alain Sycamore!"

Alain entered the field.

"The field for this round is..."

"It a Grass and Rock battlefield."

The judge appeared in the field, "Trainers, please call out your first Pokémon." He said.

"Come on out, Furfrou!" Hana sent out the marton style.

"Furfrou!" The poodle-like dog Pokémon barked.

"Eevee, lets go." Alain sent out his evolution Pokémon.

"Eevui!" Eevee cried out.

• • • • •

"Eevee you can win this!" Mairin cheered.

"Pikachu!" Light cheered.

"Chespin!" Chespie cheered.

Zack barked, cheering.

"Raichu!" Raichu cheered.

"Eevee is up." ash smiled, as she took out her Pokédex and scanned the poodle Pokémon.

[Furfrou, the Poodle Pokémon. Furfrou were assigned the task of protecting kings who ruled the Kalos Region in ancient times.

Note: Furfur and Alolan Persian are the only Pokémon who has the ability, Fur Coat.]

"Oh, that's interesting." ash said.

• • • • •

Hana blinked, "An Eevee. Most trainers would've evolved their Eevee's by now... Unless it's recently caught." She said.

"It's Furfrou VS Eevee both Normal-types Pokémon! Who would win?"

"Furfrou, lets wash them! Used Surf!" Hana started.

"Furrrr!" The poodle Pokémon summoned a large waved as it rode on it.

"We can't avoid the Surf, but... Eevee, you know want to do. Use Shadow Ball." Alain said.

"Eevuiii!" The evolution Pokémon gathering energy and a black, purplish ball appeared in front of Eevee's mouth and it's keeps getting larger.

Hana eyes widen at the size of the attack, "How big is that!" She has ever seen one that big and it was made from a small Pokémon.

"Eevui!" Eevee threw the oversize Shadow Ball at the Surf.

Both Shadow Ball and Surf colloid with each other, cancelling each other out.

"Furrrfrou!" Furfrou fallen off the water and Eevee used Agility to appear below the Pokémon.

"Use Iron Tail." Alain commanded, he knows it won't do much damage because of Furfrou's ability; Fur Coat.

"Eevui!" Eevee's tail glowed metallic colour and he slammed it into the stomach of the Furfrou, sending it back to their other size.

"Furfrou!" Hana exclaimed, worriedly as her Pokémon crash onto the grassy ground. "Furfrou are you alright?"

"Fur!" The poodle Pokémon nodded, as it got up, slowly.

"Eevee you ready?" Alain asked.

"Eevuuiiii!" Eevee nodded and he froze, he glowed and started to evolve.

"Wow! Alain's Eevee is starting to evolved and into what type?!"

The crowd got more excited.

"... Eevee..." Alain stared at his Pokémon changing shape.

• • • • •

ash blinked and looked at her boyfriend, "Wasn't Eevee always wearing a Black Belt..." She said.

"Yes." Volkner said.

"Like Misteon and Brezeon, you don't think..."

"Could be. You've always went with instinct."

The two kids looked at each and blinked with a question mark above their heads, "Huh?"

• • • • •

As the light died down, revealing either Eeveelution forms or the two newly discovered forms, it was completely different.

The Pokémon eyes opened his revealing black eyes with tint of red in them, "Haiteon!" He stomped his legs on the ground.

"WHAT!! WHAT POKÉMON IS THAT?!"

"WHAT!! WHAT TYPE OF EEVEELUTION IS THIS?!"

The crowd and announcer exclaimed.

"Haiteon..." Alain questioned himself, if he hear correctly of the Pokémon cry.

• • • • •

"Oh! This is an exciting discovery." Professor Sycamore exclaimed, excitedly, "Another new Eevee evolution!"

"I've heard about the newly Eevee's evolution, a Ghost and Water-type and a Flying-type. Now what type is this one?" Diantha questioned.

• • • • •

"It's a Fighting-type this time." Volkner crosses his arms, "Eevee was wearing a Black Belt."

ash nodded and took a photo of the newly Pokémon.

"Sooo coooolll~~!" Takato exclaimed.

• • • • •

The Pokémon known as Haiteon nodded, when his trainer said his name, "Haiteon."

Alain look carefully at his new Pokémon, 'A Black Belt are meant for Fighting-type to wear but Eevee wanted to wear one... Fighting-type! Of course.' He thought, "Let's see. Haiteon use... Brick Break." He guessed a Fighting-type attack.

Haiteon dashes across the field, as his paws glowed with a brown aura around its front paws, he jumped above Furfrou and slammed his paw at the poodle Pokémon head.

Hana snapped out of her thoughts, "Furfrou!" She exclaimed, "Furfrou, quick use Charge Beam!"

Furfrou struggled to get up, from the super effective attack, "Fur.. Fu-Fur!" It fired a yellow beam.

"Dark Pulse." Alain countered.

"Haiteon!" The new evolution fires a Dark Pulse attack.

Both Haiteon and Furfrou attacks cancelled each other out and a explosion was caused.

Haiteon immediately charged up another attack, he attacked the poodle Pokémon with a close range blast and it sent the Pokémon crashing into the water area.

"Focus Blast." Alain said, recognising the attack.

As the water large splash is disappearing, it revealed the poodle Pokémon knocked out, with swirling eyes.

The judge looked at the Pokémon, "Furfrou is unable to battle! ... Erm-"

"Haiteon." Alain offered.

"Right." The judge cleared his throat, "Haiteon is the winner!"

The crowd cheered.

"Well there you have it folks. The Pokémon is known as Haiteon and it's seems to be a Fighting-type. For more information about the Pokémon has to wait."

"Hana Yamato, please bring out your next Pokémon." The judge requested.

Hana returns her fallen Pokémon, "Alright, Audino!" She sent out the hearing Pokémon. She is at a disadvantage now because of the Fighting-type Eeveelution.

"Audino~" The hearing Pokémon said, softly. A Mega Stone was around its neck.

• • • • •

"This time a Mega Audino is going to appear." ash said and she scanned the Pokémon.

[Audino, the Hearing Pokémon. Audino can assess a Pokémon overall physical condition and mood using its ears. It also has incredible sensitive bearing, using its ears like radar to pick up even the faintest sounds.]

"I want one!" Mairin declared.

"It's should be fine on finding a wild Audino. I wouldn't mind getting one myself." ash said, "We'll catch one before heading back to Kanto."

"Yay!" Mairin cheered with hands up.

• • • • •

'When Audino Mega Evolves, it becomes a Normal and Fairy-type.' Alain observed with a thought, "Haiteon, Focus Blast."

"Counter that with Ice Beam and than Thunder!" Hana said.

"Dodge." Alain said.

Audino launched an Ice Beam, cancelling the Focus Blast and then fired a Thunder attack.

Haiteon saw his attack was cancelled out and then saw the Thunder attack, he jumped flipping backwards.

"Fire Punch!" The Hearing Pokémon charged towards Haiteon, with a fist of fire.

Alain didn't say anything this time, but Haiteon knew what to do and dodge all the punches.

"Audino use Thunder Punch." Audino charged with a electric fist, "Argh! Ice Punch!" A fist in ice.

Haiteon easily dodged them all.

Hana was getting frustrated, "Why is that Pokémon so fast?! It just evolved!" She exclaimed, to one in particular. "Audino stop!"

"Audino~" It said, as it stopped.

Haiteon smirked as he was on his side of the field, getting ready to attack.

Let's go." Hana held out a Key Stone that was attached to a pin in her hair, "Audino, Mega Evolved!"

Audino evolved into its Mega form.

"Audino!" It said.

The crowd went wild.

"There it is! A Mega Audino! Let's see if it can turn the event!"

"Mega Audino use Thunder!" Hana ordered.

"Grab that Thunder with Iron Tail." Alain countered, he is using one of his girlfriend own creation attack.

Haiteon jumped and used his Iron Tail to absorb the Thunder attack, his tail was crackling with electricity, he ran towards the hearing Pokémon as soon as he landed on the ground.

Hana gasped, shocked, "No way!"

"Haiiiteoonn!" Haiteon slammed the two combine attacks onto the Mega Audino head.

"AUDINO!" The hearing Pokémon cried out in pain.

"Haiteon, Iron Tail once more!" Alain called out, seeing his chance.

Haiteon flipped backwards, landing on the grassy field and then slammed another Iron Tail onto the hearing Pokémon stomach area twice.

"Audino! No!" Hana cried out.

"Au.. Audino..." It said, before collapsing onto the ground, it changed back into its original form with swirling eyes.

"Audino is unable to battle! Haiteon takes the match!" The judge announced.

"Incredible! Truely incredible! Alain's Haiteon was able to take out a Mega Evolution Pokémon!"

The crowd went wild and cheered.

Hana returned her fallen hearing Pokémon back, "H-H-How... How can..." She muttered, lost.

"Hana Yamato please call out your last Pokémon!" The judge said.

Hana sighs, "He has three Pokémon still. Even if I could take out that Haiteon Pokémon, he'll have two full Pokémon... Braviary!" She sent out her valiant Pokémon.

"Braviary!" It screeched out.

"Haiteon be careful." Alain warned, Flying-Type is a his weakness.

Haiteon nodded, eyeing the valiant Pokémon that is in the air.

"The final battle! Haiteon VS Braviary!"

"Let the match begin!" The judge announced.

"Aerial Ace Braviary!" Hana commanded.

"Dig." Alain said.

Haiteon avoided the Aerial Ace by digging the grassy field.

"Use Air Slash!" Braviary sent slashes of attack towards Haiteon.

"Safeguard." Haiteon brought up a shield, defending him from the attack.

"Maybe we can trap it!" Hana thought, "Rock Tomb!"

"Use Iron Tail." Alain countered, he knows what his opponent is thinking.

Braviary had rocks of tombs around the new Pokémon, but Haiteon spun around with his tail glowing metallic colour and he destroyed all the Rock Tomb attacks.

"Wha-! No way!" Hana gasped.

Haiteon tried something of his own, his collar glowed white for a split second and the red orb glowed red, the white and black strings, extended towards the valiant Pokémon grabbing it and wrapping around the Pokémon, pulling it and holding it in place on the ground.

"Braviary!" Braviary screeched out as it was pulled to the ground, knocking it on.

Alain was surprise by this, but he needed to end this, "Hyper Beam pin point!" He ordered.

Haiteon started to gather up energy in his mouth as a orange ball was in front of him.

Hana was panicking, "Braviary tried to get yourself free! Quickly!" She shouted.

Braviary was struggling to get its wings free but the sash tighten its hold on the valiant Pokémon.

Haiteon fires the Hyper Beam attack directly at the valiant Pokémon who was still struggling against the bind but the attack hit, causing a dust cloud around the Pokémon.

"Braviary no!" Hana exclaimed out, worriedly.

As the dust begin to clear, everyone saw the valiant Pokémon, there not moving.

Haiteon retracted his collar, back to their original length.

"Braviary is unable to battle! The winner of this round is Alain Sycamore and Haiteon!" The judge announced.

The crowd cheered loudly.

"And there you go folks! Alain Sycamore wins his second match!"

✿ ---- ⇒ [Break Scene] ⇐ ---- ✿

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to our next round of the preliminary match ups! The third match is about to be underway!"

The crowd cheered loudly.

"Now for the two trainers competing is... Ren Blake!"

A teen boy with spiky brown hair and green eyes, wearing a long sleeve dark shirt with short brown pants, green and black sneakers with black fingerless gloves.

"And... Alain Sycamore!"

The crowd went wild.

"Now let's see today's field! And... it's a... Ice and Rock Field!"

There were rock ground and ice covered the others side like mountains shape.

"Trainers, please bring out your first Pokémon." The judge ordered.

"Alright! Come on out, Weavile!" Ren called out the sharp claw Pokémon.

"Weavile." It said, with its claws out.

• • • • •

"A Weavile." ash scanned the Pokémon.

[Weavile, the Sharp Claw Pokémon. The evolved form of Sneasel. It is said to be extremely intelligent and it's sharp eyes see everything.]

"How cool..." Takato awed at the Pokémon.

• • • • •

"Let's do this, Fraxure." Alain sent out the axe jaw Pokémon.

"Fraxure!" The axe jaw Pokémon roared out, ignoring the half ice field.

"And... we have Weavile against Fraxure! Now Fraxure might have a disadvantage in this field, seeing it's a Dragon-type and weak against Ice-types, Weavile who is part Ice-type has the advantage."

• • • • •

ash slightly snorted when she heard the announcer comment, "Don't underestimate Alain's Pokémon." She muttered.

Volkner cracked a smile at what he heard.

"Type advantage isn't everything."

• • • • •

"Let the battle begin!" The judge announced.

The crowd went wild.

Ren smirked, "This will be easy. Weavile lets knock out that Pokémon with an Ice Beam attack!" He exclaimed.

"Dragon Claw." Alain said.

Weavile fired an Ice Beam attack and Fraxure stood his ground with his Dragon Claw ready, he used the Dragon Claw to absorb the attack.

"Smash it." Fraxure smashed the Ice Dragon Claw onto the rock side and sent a shockwave towards the sharp claw Pokémon.

"Weavile? Weavile!" The sharp claw Pokémon cried out as it was hit from the shockwave.

"Weavile! Quick, Weavile use Blizzard!" Weavile blew, sending a Blizzard attack.

"Double Team and Iron Tail." Fraxure creates multiple copies surrounding the sharp claw Pokémon and than all copies slammed an Iron Tail at Weavile who was sent crashing into the icy rocks.

"Weavile!" Ren exclaimed.

As the small smoke or ice cloud begins to disappear, it revealed a unconscious sharp claw Pokémon.

"Weavile is unable to battle! Fraxure wins!" The judge announced.

"Wow! What a move of counter!? Fraxure has attacked Weavile with a powerful Iron Tail, knocking the Pokémon out!"

The crowd cheered.

"Ren Blake, please call out your next Pokémon." The judge said.

Ren returned back his fallen Pokémon, "Unbelievable. We have the advantage and that Fraxure was ignoring all the conditions around it. Vanilluxe!" He sent out snowstorm Pokémon.

"Vanil Vanilluxe." It sent as it floated.

• • • • •

"Wah, its a Pokémon that looks like an Ice-cream~" Mairin squealed.

"A Vanilluxe." Volkner said.

ash scanned the Pokémon.

[Vanilluxe, the Snowstorm Pokémon. The final evolved form of Vanillite. Vanilluxe produces snow clouds by swallowing great quantities of water. It emits a blizzard when both heads are angry]

"How cute~~" Mairin looked at the image of Vanillite that appeared on the Pokédex. "It's a mini ice-cream~"

"Is ice-cream the only dessert you can think off right now?" Takato gave her a blank look.

Mairin pouted, "No! It's the Pokémon shape and appearance, you can't blame me for thinking like that." She said.

Takato snorted, "Sure..."

ash and Volkner shook their heads.

• • • • •

Alain eyed the Pokémon, "Um, it seems like this time my opponent an Ice-type user." He said.

"Let the battle begin!" The judge announced.

"Vanilluxe use Icicle Spear!" Ren commanded.

"Use Dragon Claw to destroy them." Alain countered.

Vanilluxe had spears of ice around it and then sent it towards the axe jaw Pokémon, who had his claws out and destroyed each of the Icicle Spear attacks to nothing.

Ren eyed widen in shock, "It can do that to!" He shouted.

Fraxure than summoned Rock Tomb attacks around itself.

Ren blinked, "Whats he thinking?" He muttered.

Alain gave a small smirk, "Dragon Tail!" He said.

"Fraxure!" Fraxure roared out as he spun with his tail and destroying each tombs of rock, than he flings the rock towards the snowstorm Pokémon.

"Van- Vanilluxe!!" Vanilluxe started to panick as it was trying to avoid the rocks thrown as it.

Unknown the both trainer and Pokémon, Alain had Fraxure use Dragon Tail to jump.

• • • • •

"Incredible strategy. Alain knows that they can't hit Vanilluxe while it's floating, using Rock Tomb, then destroying it." Diantha observers, "And while both trainer and Pokémon are distracted by the shards of rock aiming towards it, Alain and his Pokémon will deliver the attack."

• • • • •

Ren was also worried for his Pokémon when one of the Rock Tomb hits Vanilluxe, "I've should've done this since the start! But it wouldn't do much if it doesn't hit... Vanilluxe use She-"

"Iron Tail!" Alain cut his opponent off.

"WHAT!!" Ren shouted, as he turned to look into the sky seeing a silhouette.

Fraxure appeared from the sky with its tail glowing metallic colour and he slammed an Iron Tail directly at the surprised snowstorm Pokémon and both Pokémon was sent crashing down into the icy floor.

"Oh and Vanilluxe gets a direct hit from an Iron Tail attack, just like Weavile!"

"Fraxure!" A roared came from the small mist.

As the mist cleared, revealing the axe jaw Pokémon standing beside the unconscious snowstorm Pokémon with swirling eyes.

Fraxure moves away from Vanilluxe as the judge came to look at it.

"Vanilluxe is unable to battle! Fraxure wins!" The judge announced.

The crowd cheered loudly.

"And Fraxure takes another round win! Alain used the distraction from the Rock Tomb, to land a direct hit from its Iron Tail!"

"Ren Blake, please call out your last Pokémon." The judge ordered.

Ren recalled back his knocked out Pokémon, "Go, Sealeo!" He sent out the ball roll Pokémon.

"Sealeo~" It said.

"And... Ren Blake's last Pokémon is a Sealeo! But will Sealeo be strong enough to take out Alain's Fraxure, who has taken out two of his Ice-type Pokémon like it was nothing?!"

"I'll be taking one of your Pokémon with this! Sealeo use Sheer Cold!" Ren ordered.

"Seaaalleooo!" Sealeo's body glows light blue and releases the wave of light blue energy, freezing everything around it.

Alain was surprise that his opponent is going for it, Sheer Cold has the accuracy of 30%. "Fraxure use Protect."

Fraxure brought up a green barrier around himself, protecting him from the Sheer Cold effects.

"No way..." Ren said.

"And Fraxure uses Protect to protect itself from the attack, Sheer Cold!"

"It's our turn now." Alain said, knowing what is going to happen next.

Fraxure stomped his feet, "FRAXURE!" He roared out and froze, he began to glow.

Everyone watched as the axe jaw Pokémon evolving, as the light die down, revealing a newly evolved Pokémon, "HAXORUS!" The Pokémon roared out.

"Incredible! Fraxure has evolved into Haxorus!"

The crowd burst into loudly cheers.

"Oh crap." Ren said, knowing that this is bad. A semi-pseudo Legendary Pokémon, just great. Just Arceus great.

"Haxorus, Focus Blast!" Alain said.

"Counter that with Ice Beam!" Ren countered quickly.

Both Focus Blast and Ice Beam colloid against each other, causing a explosion in the centre of the field.

Alain eyes narrowed, "Use Rock Tomb then Low Kick."

"Haxorus!" The newly evolved Pokémon stomped his feet and tombs of rock appeared, surround the ball roll Pokémon and then ran towards the Pokémon.

"Seal Sealeo!!" Sealeo panicked, being trapped.

"Sealeo!" Ren cried out.

Then the axe jaw Pokémon jumped and delivered a kick towards the trapped Pokémon who cried out in pain.

"Come on Sealeo, try and use Ice Beam!" Ren encouraged, his Pokémon.

"S-seal Sealeoooo!" The ball roll Pokémon managed to launched an Ice Beam attack.

But the Ice Beam attack was countered with a Dragon Rage attack.

"No way..." Ren said.

Sealeo couldn't handle the pain on its body and soon it collapsed onto the icy floor with swirling eyes.

The judge looked at the fallen Pokémon, "Sealeo is unable to battle! The winner of this round is Alain Sycamore and Haxorus!" He declared.

The crowd went wild and cheered.

"And that's it! Alain Sycamore moves onto the final round of the Preliminary!"

✿ ---- ⇒ [Break Scene] ⇐ ---- ✿

"Welcome! To the fourth round of the preliminary rounds! This the last round and whoever wins this round moves onto the Semi-Finals!"

The crowd cheered.

"Let's meet the final round trainers!"

The crowd cheered louder.

"First we have, a trainer who has been going towards the winning matches with poisonous Pokémon..."

A trainer around Volkner's age with black hair and blue eyes, wearing a black shirt with a white jacket hoodie and blue jeans, a pair of black sneakers. Attached to the hoodie was a Key Stone pinned on its.

"Zane Campbell!"

The crowd cheered.

• • • • •

"Poisonous Pokémon huh?" ash smiled, amused by the comment.

"He must've used Poison-type throughout the the Preliminary Rounds." Volkner said.

• • • • •

"And the trainer who been only using one Pokémon for each round and hasn't even lost one Pokémon is..."

Alain appeared on the field with arms crossed.

"Alain Sycamore!"

The crowd went wild.

"And now, today's field is..."

"A Grass and Rock battle field!"

The judged stepped into the field, "Trainers, please call out your first Pokémon!" He said.

"Toxicroak, go!" Zane sent out the toxic mouth Pokémon.

"Toxicroak." It croaked.

"A Poison and Fighting-type. He might have a slight disadvantage but... " Alain said and pulled out a Pokéball, "Let's do this Absol!" He sent out the disaster Pokémon.

"Absol Sol." He said as he enters the field.

"And the first match is Toxicroak VS Absol! Absol might have a disadvantage but like Alain's previous round battle, his Haxorus has proven to be a power house and defeated all three Ice-type Pokémon. Let's see how this battle turns out!"

"Let the match begin!" The judge announced.

The crowd went wild.

"Toxicroak use Sludge Bomb!" Zane commanded.

"Absol destroy that Sludge Bomb with Razor Wind." Alain said.

Toxicroak sent a large purple sludge towards the disaster Pokémon who destroyed it with a sharp wind attack.

"Thunder Wave." Absol sent a blast of electricity towards the toxic mouth Pokémon who was caught and now paralysis.

Zane cursed, "Toxicroak, try a Cross Chop!" He called out.

Toxicroak tried to move its arm but the paralysis effect kicked in, "Toxicroak..."

"Freeze it!" Alain said.

"Absooollll!" The disaster Pokémon fired an Ice Beam attack towards the paralysis Pokémon.

"Toxicroak move!" Zane yelled out.

Toxicroak looked ahead and saw the Ice Beam attack heading towards it but it couldn't move because of the Thunder Wave effect and the attacks hit, freezing it.

"Thunder and then Aerial Ace." Alain said.

Absol launched a Thunder attack, destroying the frozen toxic mouth Pokémon and then used Aerial Ace to get a direct hit, sending Toxicroak crashing into the rock mountains on the sides.

"Toxicroak!!" Zane shouted out.

"Croak..." The fallen toxic mouth Pokémon said, unconsciously.

"Toxicroak is unable to battle! The winner is Absol!" The judge announced.

"So fast..." Zane couldn't believe it.

Absol returned back to his trainer side, walking with pride.

"Zane Campbell, please call out your next Pokémon!" The judge commanded.

Zane cursed, "Damn... His Pokémon power are unbelievable." He recalled back Toxicroak and held out another Pokéball, "Roselia, lets go!" He sent out the thorn Pokémon.

"Roselia Rose." The thorn Pokémon smiled.

"Absol use Aerial Ace." Alain commanded.

"Roselia, Protect!" Zane countered.

Aerial Ace was cancelled by the Protect and Absol jumped back.

"Fine then. Absol use Feint attack." Alain countered.

Absol dashed towards the green barrier and he destroyed the Protect with his attack.

"Roselia!" Roselia was shocked, when its protective barrier was destroyed.

"What!" Zane was also shocked, that, that Absol knows Feint.

"Now Flamethrower!" Alain commanded.

"Abbsooolll!" The disaster Pokémon launched a Flamethrower attack.

"Rose Roselia!" The thorn Pokémon cried out in pain, as the Fire-type attack hits it directly, but it was still standing.

"Roselia use Synthesis!" Zane said.

Roselia gathered energy from the sun and started to heal its injuries, "Roselia!" It said, completely healed.

"Alright Roselia, use Pin Missile!" The thorn Pokémon fired pins towards Absol.

"Absol, freeze it." The disaster Pokémon fired an Ice Beam, freezing the Pin Missile, "Hit them back." Absol struck each frozen missile with his tail.

"Look out Roselia!" Zane warned.

But the Frozen Missile didn't hit the thorn Pokémon, it trapped the Pokémon.

"Rose!" Roselia looked around itself, surprised and shock, it's arm and legs were trapped.

Zane gasped in disbelief, he couldn't utter a word.

Alain lips turned into a smirk, "Got you. Close range, Fire Blast!" He said.

Absol fired a close range, kanji-like fire towards the struggling, frustrated, Grass and Poison-type Pokémon.

"Roselia no!" Zane exclaimed, shocked and worriedly.

Roselia then was hit by the Fire Blast, "Rooseeeee!" It cried out in pain, falling onto the rocky ice ground, unconscious, "Rose... Rose... Ro..."

"Roselia is unable to battle! The winner is Absol!" The judge announces.

The crowd cheered.

Zane returns his fallen thorn Pokémon back to its Pokéball, "Thanks Roselia." He muttered.

"Zane Campbell, please call out your last Pokémon." The judge said.

Zane sighs, "Gengar your my last!" He sent out the shadow Pokémon.

"Gengar!" It said appearing on the field, with a metal silver headband that has a Mega Stone on it, "Gengengengen!" It laughs.

"Well, Zane Campbell last Pokémon is a Gengar! Will Gengar be strong enough to take down Alain's Absol? We'll see."

Zane press his Key Stone on his hoodie with his fingers, "We'll be going with full power!" He said, "Gengar, Mega Evolve!"

"Gengar!" The Mega Pokémon said.

• • • • •

Mairin jumped in her seat slightly, "Wah, what a scary mega evolution." She said.

"Three eyes now." Takato nodded.

• • • • •

"And, Zane has Mega Evolved his Gengar into Mega Gengar! But the question remains, will it be strong enough to take out Absol?!"

"Absol use Dark Pulse!" Alain started off.

"Nightshade!" Zane countered.

Absol fires Dark Pulse and Mega Gengar hits the Dark Pulse attacks dead on with Nightshade attack.

"Future Sight." Alain said.

"Sol!" Absol used Future Sight.

[Future Sight has different ways of working from what I saw in the anime.]

"Oh man." Zane said, "In that case we better take down that Absol before Future Sight hits. Mega Gengar use Focus Blast!"

Mega Gengar focus its energy and fired a Focus Blast from its arms.

"Night Slash!" Absol cut the Focus Blast attack in half by his claws. "Now use Shadow Ball!" The disaster Pokémon fired three Shadow Ball immediately.

"Double Team!" Mega Gengar creates copies of itself, dodging the Shadow Ball, "Dazzling Gleam!" The shadow Pokémon fired a pink beam towards Absol.

"Charge Beam!" Absol counters it with yellow beam and both attacks hits creating a small blast.

Zane curse, "Mega Gengar use Shadow Sneak, then Brick Break!" He shouted over the noise.

Mega Gengar went into the shadows, disappearing from the field.

Alain eyes narrowed, "Absol keep your guard up. We'll take the hit." He said.

"Sol." The disaster Pokémon nodded.

"Gengengengen!" Mega Gengar appeared from behind Absol's shadow and stuck the disaster Pokémon with a effective attack.

Zane smiled, "Alright-" He was cut off.

Alain saw the chance, "Now Absol use Psycho Cut!" He said.

Absol red-eyes narrows as he flipped in the air and struck the shadow Pokémon with its pink glowing horn.

"Gen!" Mega Gengar blinked and was hit by the Psycho Cut, "Gengar!"

Zane gasped, "Gengar!"

Alain looked up seeing it's time, "Toss Gengar Absol!" He ordered.

Absol gritted his teeth and used his horn to throw the Mega Gengar into air and the sky glowed as the Future Sight hit the mega evolution Pokémon directly.

"GENGARRR!" Mega Gengar cried out in pain as it felt the attack.

"Gengar no!" Zane called out towards his Pokémon and then looks at Alain, "He knew the timing of the Future Sight."

Mega Gengar fell down from the air, crashing into the icy ground.

"Sol." Absol said, as he looked at the unconscious Pokémon.

The judge took a look at Gengar, who was back into its original form, "Gengar is unable to battle! The winner of the final round of the Preliminary is Alain Sycamore and Absol!" He announced.

Alain's image showed up on the monitor screen with three empty slots.

"He has done it folks! Alain Sycamore has more onto the Semi-final rounds were he'll be facing off whoever wins the next rounds of the preliminary!"

The crowd cheered.

"YEAH! Big brother did it!" Mairin cheered.

"Sweet!" Takato grinned. "WAY TO GO ALAIN! YEAH!" He waves both his arms in the air.

"PIKA!" Light clapped, along with Chespie and Raichu.

Zack barked, happily.

ash clapped, "Without a doubt." She said.

Volkner chuckled and clapped as well.

• • • • •

Professor Sycamore grinned and clapped for his grandson, "Congratulations Alain." He said.

Diantha clapped, "Impressive battle and strategy, he knew the timing of the Future Sight." She praised, "Only one other trainer who has completed winning all Preliminary rounds in using just one Pokémon and she hasn't lost one."

"Ah, I wonder if he knows about his title given to him in the Kalos by the Kalos Gym leaders?" Professor Sycamore questioned. "I'm quite surprised by the title. But then again anyone would because he only used one Pokémon throughout the Kalos Gym."

Diantha giggles, "Who knows, but Alain is bound to found out. The title is actually private on his Trainer's Page if I remember correctly, so only he can see it." She explains, "But if he wish for the whole world to see it, than he'll have to give it permission for the tittle to be shown."

Professor Sycamore chuckles, "True. But I have a feeling that, that title will stay hidden till Alain feels for it to be shown. It's a titled given to him and Charizard." He said.

✿ ---- ⇒ [~ TIME SKIP ~] ⇐ ---- ✿

As the Preliminary Rounds continued raging on, Alain has successfully succeeded on making through the Semi-Finals.

Alain is with the gang, watching who is going to be in the Semi-Finals as well.

"Mega Blastoise use Hydro Cannon!" A trainer shouted.

"Mega Ampharos use Thunder!" Another trainer shouted.

As the two powerful attacks hit each other, but only one Pokémon remains standing.

"Blastoise is unable to battle! Ampharos wins! The victor is Daniel Suoh!" The judge announced.

"There you go folks, Daniel Suoh is onto the Semi-Finals!"
