Chapter
11- TERROR OF THE DEEP!
(
“WA!
YOW! THAT-COULDA HURT!” Ash yelled as he dodged Aquamarine. Aquamarine missed,
and his trident got stuck in the ground.
POW!
“AAAH!”
Aquamarine fell over when Ash punched him with the QuickSilver arm
“Come
on! You wanna keep going and let me pound you?”
“GRRRR…”
Aquamarine rubbed the side of his face and growled. He then jumped high into
the air, and aimed his trident down at Ash “HAAAA… OCEAN LANCE!” He jabbed
through the air, and the air pressure sent Ash flying
“WA!”
“HEH-HEH!”
Aquamarine laughed, “HAAAAA… TIDAL SPEAR!” He slashed through the air and send
a blue shockwave, also sending Ash flying
“Whoa!”
Ash rubbed his head. “(Ungh… this is bad. That hurt a lot more than anything
Doppelganger did…) AH!”He snapped back to attention and ran behind a tree
“And just how many of THOSE things does he have?” Ash hid behind the tree as
the javelins hit. Ash looked to see if he was still throwing, “WA!” Ash went
back into cover as more flew.
“Phew…”
Aquamarine sighed. He was out of javelins. “Kraken, I choose you!”
“TENTACRUEEEL!”
Kraken attacked! But this time, the end of the tentacles, there were heavy
bronze spearheads.
“Attack!”
Aquamarine pointed at Ash
“WAA!”
“PIKA!”
Ash and
Pikachu both ran from the killing machine. With those sharp blades and spiked
attached to Kraken’s many arms, they wouldn’t stand a chance. But if someone as
resistant as ASH couldn’t survive, then surely Aquamarine couldn’t either…
“PESTER BALLS, GO!” Ash threw a ton of pester balls at the Kraken. The foul gas
went into his face, and Kraken turned to the person standing nearest to him and
started growling.
Aquamarine
sweatdropped. “KRAKEN, RETURN!” Aquamarine called Kraken into the pokéball
before it could attack, “(DAMN! If I use a pokémon, then this he’ll just
make them go crazy attack me when he uses that many pester balls! And that
means I can’t use my PRIZEFIGHTER, especially with the blades and spikes I gave
him! Only one thing left to do is ATTACK HIM MYSELF!!!) DEEP SKEWER!”
Ash
jumped out of the way, “Man, that was pathetic! You keep using the same move
all the time, and after that much, it isn’t even enough to make me say ‘wa’!”
Ash glared at him, “Hmmm… You say this is an anything goes match, and you can’t
use any pokémon ‘cuz I make ‘em go berserk, but I on the other hand…”
Ash turned to Pikachu, “THUNDER!”
“PIKA-CHUUU!”
Pikachu jumped high into the air, and a large bolt of lightning came down.
“HMM!”
Aquamarine held the Trident up high. The lightning immediately went into the
weapon, but Aquamarine was unharmed. “HA! I’ve learned from my many battles
over the years and this weapon’s made of the same thing the armour is made of!
And for lightning attacks, this means… YAAA!” Aquamarine dashed forwards and
swung it through the air, and as it flew, a trail of electricity could be seen.
“WAA!”
“PIKAA!”
Ash and
Pikachu ran as fast as they could, while Aquamarine was following closely,
swinging that electrically charged weapon through the air. “COME BACK SO I
COULD KILL YOU, ASH KETCHUM!”
“I’VE-GOT-TO-FIGURE-OUT-A-WAY-TO-STOP-THIS-MANIAC!”
Ash yelled and sweatdropped. “(GRRR!!! The lightning flowing through that
weapon, it’s no stronger than the ones Pikachu usually uses on me. I know I
could survive it, but those sharp edges…)” Ash looked at the trident. “(I’ve
got to be careful. If that trident touches my skin, even a little bit, I’ll get
shocked! And chances are he’ll take that chance to skewer me!)” Ash
growled, “(There’s no way I can avoid it forever! I’ll have to take that
shock, while keeping him from hitting me!)” Ash turned around.
“DIE
KETCHUM!” Aquamarine jabbed the trident to Ash
“HAAA!”
With one arm, Ash blocked the hit, and with his other arm, he swung the
sledgehammer and bashed Aquamarine on the forehead.
“WAAAA!”
Both Ash and Aquamarine screamed and fell over. A bit of one of the prongs
touches the skin on Ash’s arm and the electricity passed on completely to Ash,
while Aquamarine was dazed from that blow to the head from the big hammer.
“Hey
Aqua? Please, let’s not do that one again” Ash groaned
“Trust
me, the feeling’s mutual” Aquamarine groaned
“Truce
for five minutes?” Ash asked
“Truce”
Aquamarine reached and shook Ash’s hand
(Five
Minutes later)
BAM!
Ash
punched Aquamarine with the QuickSilver arm.
“OW!”
Aquamarine rubbed his face. As Ash dashed towards him, Aquamarine tightened his
grip on the trident “TIDAL SPEAR! HAAA!” Aquamarine swung the trident. The air
pressure sent Ash and Pikachu flying through the air and crashing into a tree.
“HM!”
Aquamarine growled, “You coward! Stand up and fight!”
“Urgh…”
Ash groaned, rubbing his jaw, “Did he just get stronger?!”
“RHAAAA!”
Aquamarine roared, turning his whole body and stabbing with the trident
“GRA!!”
Ash growled, catching the prongs of the trident in his hands, and stopping it,
“GRRR…” he growled… Aquamarine put so much force into the stab, Ash was being
pushed back. But still, he was slowing Aquamarine down… “THUNDER!!!!”
“PIKA!
PIIII…” Pikachu seemed to be focusing very hard on an attack, “PIKACHUUU!”
“Heh…”
Aquamarine smirked. “Don’t underestimate me. RHAAA!!!”
“WA?!” Ash
exclaimed. Aquamarine lifted the trident into the air, with Ash still hanging
onto the end! But that wasn’t all! “AAAAHHH!!!” Ash screamed when Pikachu’s
thunder attack crashed into him
“I’M
NOT DONE YET! OCEAN LANCE!” energy gathered in Aquamarine’s trident…
CRASH!!!
“AAAAHHHH!!!!”
Ash screamed when a blast of energy sent him flying, and hitting the ground.
“Ungh… angh!!!” Ash gasped. His stomach was in so much pain, there was a bit of
smoke coming from his clothes. That attack… it was so powerful! “Agh…” he
struggled to get up. It hurt so much… but he clenched his teeth, he refused to
quit! “P-pikachu…” he breathed, “SKULL BASH!!!!”
“PIKA!!!”
Pikachu shot forwards, spinning through the air towards Aquamarine…
“HMM!”
Aquamarine swerved his body, to avoid the attack, “Heh!” he laughed, turning
around as Ash came charging at him “HA!!!” he slammed Ash across the face,
knocking him back, “What an amateurish trick!” he shouted. “Sending your
pokémon to distract me while you attack?! Even if you did hit me, WHAT DO YOU
THINK THAT’LL DO?!” He roared, smashing Ash and sending him flying
“ANGH…”
Ash hit the ground hard. “Ugh… GRRR…” he growled, standing up, “I won’t…” he
panted, clenching his knuckles… “I WON’T QUIT!!!” he attacked, but Aquamarine
was faster, catching Ash’s punch and twisting his arm, “AH!” He threw Ash into
the air and hit him down. “Grrr…” Ash refused to stay down. “It’s… it’s not
over yet…” he gasped, slowly standing up. He refused to stay down. Though he
was in pain, his muscles were on fire, his body was screaming for him to quit,
Ash simply refused to stop fighting. He just kept going… “RHAAA!!!!”
“HMMM!!!”
Aquamarine stepped to the side and thrust his trident forwards. Catching Ash’s
arms between the prongs, he twisted hard and threw him off balance. As Ash
stumbled, Aquamarine took that chance to attack, “DADADADADA!!!!!” he roared,
attacking him repeatedly with his fists, slamming into his face, neck, head and
stomach, “HM…” he stopped punching and turned around, “HAAA!!!” he kicked Ash
in the stomach and sent him flying up into the air, but Aquamarine’s hand shot
forward and quickly grabbed him by the ankle, pulling him back. “RHAAAA!!!!” He
swung Ash over his head…
SMASH!!!
As
Ash’s body hit the ground, he didn’t even have the strength left to scream.
Aquamarine let him go and took a step back, leaving Ash lying there. “Ngh…” a
few tears escaped his eyes. Ash tried to move, but he couldn’t. His body, it
just wasn’t responding to his commands… “N… no…” he cried. Aquamarine… there was
such a huge gap between them. He was nothing like Doppelganger. None of Ash’s
attacks seemed to make any difference, while every one of HIS attacks tore
right into him! How anyone be this strong?!
“So
he’s got nothing left, huh?” said Aquamarine. “Fine then, I’ll finish you off
right now.” As he held up his trident, Pikachu ran in front of Ash, blocking
Aquamarine’s way. “Hmph… out of the way, rat” he said, but Pikachu growled, his
cheeks sparking. “You were warned…” he held up his trident, “DEEP SKEWER!!!”
“NO!”
Ash’s hand shot up, and grabbed the trident, stopping it
“So you
still got some fight left, huh?” Aquamarine smirked, “Even after all that, you
still refuse to die. I don’t think there’s anything I can do that’ll keep you down”
he then glared at him, “Which is why I’m taking this battle elsewhere…”
“Hmm?”
Ash stared up at him, as Aquamarine closed his eyes, “Grr… he’s doing another
attack!” he exclaimed, “RHAA!” Ash shouted, punching him again and again,
trying to stop him
“PIKACHUUU!!!”
Pikachu roared, also striking Aquamarine with his lighting…
“HM!
RHA!” Aquamarine’s eyes shot open, he was completely unphased by Ash and
Pikachu’s hits, ““TIDAL SPEAR!” Aquamarine swing his trident…
SMASH!!!!
“AAAAAHHHH!!!!!”
Ash and Pikachu screamed as they were sent flying…
SPLASH!
“AGH!”
Ash exclaimed when he landed in water. “Ungh…!” he shook his head, and blinked.
The cold water was really soothing, and eased the pain. As he stood up, he
realized the water was pretty shallow, barely reaching his shins “Pikachu?” he
asked, picking up his friend, “Are you okay?”
“Pika…”
Pikachu growled, but nodded
“Aquamarine,
you dirty son of a…” Ash growled, but then gasped. He could see Aquamarine
approaching them, knee-deep in water. “GRR…” Ash growled and stood up and took
a fighting stance, “Pikachu! Use…”
“I
wouldn’t do that” said Aquamarine, looking down. “We’re knee deep in water, and
any thunder attacks you do will result in both of us getting hurt”
“Why
you… WA!!!” Ash exclaimed as Aquamarine thrust his trident forwards. Ash fell
back, nearly missing it.
“I got
you!” Aquamarine shouted, stabbing down…
“PIKA!”
Pikachu shot through the air and slammed against him with skull bash
“GRR!”
As Aquamarine stumbled from Pikachu’s attack, Ash quickly stood up, “HA!”
THUD!
“Hm…”
Aquamarine didn’t show any reaction when Ash punched him across the face. “Was
that supposed to hurt?” he smirked, “THIS IS A REAL PUNCH!”
SMACK!!!!
“AAAGGGHHH!”
Ash screamed as spun from Aquamarine’s punch and fell face down into the water.
“Heh-heh…” he laughed weakly
“And
what’s so funny?” asked Aquamarine
“When I
punched you, you should’ve been paying attention to where my other hand was
reaching!” Ash held up an empty pokéball… “CRUNCH!”
“HUH!?”
Aquamarine exclaimed and turned around, seeing Totodile leap out of the water
at him, “ARGH!” he raised his arms in defence… “AGH!” he screamed when Totodile
bit into his wrist on his right arm
“AN
OPENING!” Ash shouted. With his right armoured fist, he slammed Aquamarine
across the face with all his strength, causing him to stumble back.
“WHY
YOU!” Aquamarine roared, straightening up and slamming Ash. “TIDAL SPEAR!” he
shouted, swinging the trident with his left arm. The shockwave sent Ash,
Pikachu and Totodile flying back and landing in the water with a splash
“Heh…”
Ash laughed, standing up. “What’s the matter Aquamarine? You’re getting slow
all of the sudden” he smirked, “And that attack didn’t hurt”
“Grrr…”
Aquamarine growled. Ash was right. That attack was much weaker than it should
have been. It was because he was only using one hand…
“HAAA!!!”
Ash, Pikachu and Totodile charged towards towards Aquamarine
“HM!”
Aquamarine dodged left and right, evading them “HA!” he punched Ash with his
left fist, and spun around, slamming him with his right elbow, knocking him
back. As Pikachu shot forwards with Quick Attack, Aquamarine moved his body and
grabbed him by the tail, swinging him and slamming him into Totodile, throwing
them both back. “NGH!” he exclaimed when Ash’s fist hit him and Pikachu slammed
into his stomach. Looking up, he saw Totodile jump up, ready to bite him again…
CHOMP!
“Heh…” Aquamarine
smirked, he held up the harpoon gun just in time, and Totodile bit into the
weapon first. “RHA!” he spun around and slammed it against Ash, causing the
trainer to fall back and Totodile to let go. As Pikachu leapt up, Aquamarine’s
hand shot up and grabbed him. “Agh!” he exclaimed when Pikachu bit his hand!
“GRRR… ENOUGH!!!!” he roared, throwing Pikachu
“(Pant…)
this is… (pant…) too much” Ash and his two pokémon were gasping for air.
Aquamarine just wouldn’t stop. Even with the handicap, he was too strong.
There’s was no way Ash could win… “HA!” flung the sledgehammer into
Aquamarine’s face.
“AGH!”
Aquamarine fell over
“TOTODILE
RETURN!” Ash shouted, also removing QuickSilver and throwing it down. He
grabbed Pikachu and sped off “DAMMITIHATERUNNINGAWAYFROMBATTLES!” He yelled as
he sped off. Ash couldn’t win. He’d have to come back and fight him when he had
a strategy to beat this crazed maniac.
“AND
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING?!” Aquamarine’s voice echoed. Ash yelled out
the super speed words and sped off even faster. “THERE’S NO RUNNING AWAY FROM
THIS
“COME
ON QUICKSILVER! YOU CAN DO IT!” Ash looked back, he could see the fog catching
up to him. “FASTER!” No matter what he did… it wasn’t enough. “WAAA!” the
QuickSilver halted and spun in the violent winds. “NOOO!” The winds blew him
back to the battlefield. Ash hit the ground and blacked out…
(Up in
the trees)
“I
can’t believe it! The twerp’s losing!” Jessie gasped
“Um,
Jessie? Who are we rooting for? The twerp is our archenemy, but the water guy’s
a powerful bad guy and a greater evil! Normally, this is where we jump in and
support one side” James asked
“I
don’t think we want to get involved” Meowth sweatdropped
“Agreed”
said Jessie and James
(Location-
Battlegrounds)
“Ugh…
what was… what was that…?” Ash groaned
“So,
did you enjoy my attack?” Ash looked up and saw Aquamarine standing. Aquamarine
laughed, “And would you believe that wasn’t my strongest attack?”
Ash
growled, “THAT’S IT! I AM THROUGH WITH THIS!” Ash pulled out his pokéballs,
“You may not be able to use pokémon, but I am! I got so caught up in this whole
fighting thing that I forgot what I really am, a pokémon trainer! EVERYBODY,
GO!” Ash threw all his pokéballs, and out came his full team: Pikachu,
Cyndaquil, Bayleef, Totodile, Noctowl and Snorlax. “The guy’s strong in the
arms, but weak in the head! Noctowl, use hypnosis!”
Before
Aquamarine could react, Noctowl cooed and used the attack. Aquamarine started
to feel dizzy…
“SNORLAX!
MEGA PUNCH”
“LAX!” Snorlax
charged forwards and slammed Aquamarine with his fists and sent him flying and
hitting the ground.
“All
right! HYDROTHUNDER!” Ash yelled. Totodile fired a jet of water and Pikachu
electrified it.
“NO!”
Aquamarine straightened up and blocked the attack with the trident. The trident
absorbed every bit of the electricity, and the water alone couldn’t hurt him.
Ash could see the electric bolts sparking between the spearheads.
“As
long as he’s got that electrical trident, he’s dangerous! Use flamethrower on
it, Cyndaquil!”
“CYNDA!”
Cyndaquil fired hot flames at Aquamarine’s weapon.
“Hey!
What do you think you’re…? OW!” Aquamarine dropped the red-hot trident.
“He’s
disarmed! All right Bayleef, Vine Whip!”
“BAY!”
Bayleef smacked Aquamarine with his vines
“GRR!”
Aquamarine kicked the trident and sent it back into the water, while he raised
his arms and defended himself from the vines.
“WELL…
looks like I’M winning!” Ash laughed.
“Don’t
think you’ve won yet!” Aquamarine dove towards snatched his trident which had
now cooled off. Aquamarine threw the two pokéballs, “DIE KETCHUM! KRAKEN!
OGOPOGO! I CHOOSE YOU!!”
“TENTACRUEL!”
the large Tentacruel, Kraken yelled
“GROAAR!”
The armoured Gyarados, Ogopogo roared
“All
right guys! ATTACK!”
Ash laughed,
“You made the wrong choice! Pester balls, G…”
“RAAR!”
Ogopogo blasted the pester balls out of Ash’s hand
“YOW!”
Ash exclaimed when they went flying, “Why you…” he reached for the QuickSilver,
trying to grab more Pester Balls…
“YOU
SHOULD FOCUS MORE ON THE
Kraken
lunged and attempted to poison Ash with his stingers, but Snorlax jumped up and
tackled him hard, Kraken growled and attacked with the sharp spearheads on his
tentacles. They did about as much damage as a bee sting to Snorlax and only
made him madder.
“GROAAAR!”
Ogopogo dove and was ready to bite Snorlax with Crunch.
“SNOOOOOORE…”
Snorlax gripped all of the tentacles in one place and spun quickly, swinging
Kraken through the air. “LAX!” He let go and Kraken went flying through the
air, crashing into Ogopogo. Ogopogo was relatively fine because of the armour,
but the giant Tentacruel wasn’t armoured and went down. Kraken was defeated!
“No!
Kraken!” Aquamarine exclaimed
“Tentacruel’s
down! Now dog pile on Gyarados! HYDROTHUNDER!”
“TOTODIIILE!”
“PIKACHUUUU!”
The
electrified water hit Ogopogo, but it didn’t do any damage. “No go! Water
doesn’t hurt water pokémon and the armour protects it from elements!” Ash said
to himself, “BUUUUUUT…” He grinned, “The armour may be able to withstand it,
but is the pokémon?”
“SNOOOOOORE…”
Snorlax opened his mouth and concentrated his energy into a single beam, a
Hyper Beam that is… “LAAAAAX!”
CRASH!
The
beam slammed Ogopogo and smashed right through the armour. The blow to the head
was too strong. Ogopogo got hurt and collapsed…
“NO!
OGOPOGO!”
“HA-HAAA!
I guess neither the armour or the pokémon could take it!”
“That
does it!” Aquamarine pulled out a pokéball. “Time to use my prizefighter!
LEVIATHAN! I CHOOSE YOU!”
“FERALIGATOOOOOR!”
Leviathan growled.
“A
Feraligator? So THIS is your prizefighter!” Ash smiled and pulled out some
pester-balls. “He looks really strong, and I’d love to battle him” Ash looked
at the armoured pokémon. This one was given golden armour, around the torso and
legs. It had blades running down the back of its head to the end of the golden
armoured tail. It was also given golden gauntlets with war talons on the end of
the fingers, spikes on the knuckles and a large blade on each arm. There was
also protection for the head, shielding the top of the head, the sides of the
face and the jaw. “You sure invest a lot in weapons for your pokémon! How much
did it cost for the gold armour?”
“Nothing!
I made the armour myself! It was getting the gold to make it and mixing it with
another substance to make an elementally and high impact resistant alloy, that
was the tough part.”
“Let’s
see how strong he is! Everybody, ATTACK!” Ash commanded his pokémon
“LEVIATHAN!
USE HYDRO PUMP!” Aquamarine yelled. Feraligator opened his mouth and fired a
powerful jet of water at Ash and his pokémon
“WA”
“PIKA!”
“TOTO!”
“BAYLEEEF!”
“TROOOOWL!”
Noctowl was hit
“Lax?”
Snorlax was hit, but the water DIDN’T even make him budge
“Leviathan
was my loyal partner and friend since the beginning, and he will not let
himself be defeated by anyone! Leviathan, SLASH!”
“GATOR!”
Leviathan ran forwards and slashed Snorlax with his claws.
“SNOOOR-LAAX!”
Snorlax roared out and grabbed Leviathan by the neck. With his size and large
amount of HP, the gash Leviathan left on him was a small wound and wasn’t too
serious, but with the war talons put on Feraligator’s fingers, it made the
slash the same strength as a level 100 pokémon, and it hurt and REALLY made him
mad. Snorlax pounded on the side of Leviathan’s face, again, again, this was
doing damage. “SNORLAX!” Snorlax punched again, but Leviathan growled and
caught the punch in his hand.
“TOOOOOR!”
Leviathan roared and slashed Snorlax in the face. Snorlax let go of Leviathan’s
neck and covered his face with his hands. Leviathan was still good, the face
plate protected his head and jaws from elements and impacts.
“PIKA!”
“DIILE!”
Pikachu
and Totodile used the HydroThunder attack. The electrified water hit his
armoured back. The armour may have made him immune to the electricity, but the
impact and force of the water made him stumble forwards, which gave the other’s
the opening they needed.
“Bay
BAAAAAAAY!” Bayleef jumped forwards and whipped Leviathan with the vines.
“NOCTOWL!”
Noctowl fired a Psybeam and hit the face, weakening it even more
“PIKA!”
Pikachu launched himself through the air and crashed head first into the side
of Leviathan’s face. Leviathan tripped and fell over as Pikachu fell to the
ground. “PIKAAAA…” Pikachu groaned, lying on the ground. He should’ve attacked
with his tail against a heavily armoured head.
“FERALIGATOOR!”
Leviathan spun and slammed all of Ash’s pokémon with his tail, sending them
flying in different directions. He then charged forwards and tackled Snorlax
(Thankfully for HIM, there were no spikes or blades on the shoulders and head)
“That’s
some nice fighting Leviathan!” Aquamarine laughed, but then looked at Ash.
“Hey, what are you smiling at?”
“Heh,
look what I got right here!” Ash held up the QuickSilver. Reaching in, he
grabbed a handful of Pester Balls, “GOOOO!” he threw them at Leviathan, hitting
him and releasing the foul gas. “Feraligators have high temper, and THIS’LL set
it off!”
“You’re
an even bigger idiot than I thought!” Aquamarine yelled, “Those things don’t make
the pokémon turn on their owners! Do you even know the definition of the word
berserk?!”
“TOOOR!”
Leviathan roared and attacked. It didn’t matter who it hit, it just attacked
anything left and right
“BAYLEEEF!”
Bayleef got hurt and collapsed…
“TOOOOWL!”
Noctowl fainted!
“HAHAHA!”
Aquamarine laughed
“Go
ahead and laugh it up!” Ash pointed at Aquamarine “Bayleef! Noctowl! RETURN!”
Ash called them back into their pokéballs and switched them for two others via
white button on pokédex. “Now, I need muscle! If I had Primeape, I’d use him,
but here’s a powerhouse and a veteran! Tauros! Kingler! I CHOOSE YOU!”
“TAUUU!”
Tauros stamped the ground and lowered his head, getting ready to charge at
Leviathan
“CO-KING!”
Kingler clapped his pincers and aimed the large one threateningly at the
Feraligator
“Don’t
do anything!” Ash told Pikachu, Totodile and Cyndaquil, “Let the powerhouses to
the work until I give you the instructions! Surround him and attack!”
“SNORE!”
“TAU!”
“KING!”
BAM!
Snorlax
uppercutted Leviathan, making him stumble back a few steps.
CLANG!
Tauros
kicked Leviathan on the back with his front hooves
SMACK!
Kingler
sprung up and smacked Leviathan on the side of the face with his gigantic claw.
After that round of attacks, the armour was chipped and cracked, while the
helmet protecting Leviathan’s face fell off.
“The
face is vulnerable! Pikachu! SKULL BASH!” Ash commanded
“PIKAAAAA…”
Pikachu focused hard… “Pika!” Pikachu launched through the air and bashed
Leviathan on the side of the head.
“Totodile!
SLASH!”
“TO-TO!”
Totodile jumped up and slashed Feraligator across the face
“CO-KING!”
Kingler struck his claw into back of the body armour. “COOOOO…” Kingler’s claw
pierced it and with all his might, his claw clamped shut and cut the armour on
the back
Tauros
charged forwards and slammed into Leviathan. From that last hit, the body
armour broke completely and fell to the ground.
“NO!
Not the body armour! ANYTHING but the body armour!” Aquamarine shouted, “ARGH!
This isn’t over yet! Even with the defence add-ons gone, he still has the
talons and arm-blades!”
“Maybe!
But I’m not even gonna give him the CHANCE to use them!” Ash laughed “Snorlax!
Pikachu! Drive him into the trees!”
“PIKAAAAAAAA…”
Pikachu focused hard on his attack… “PIKA!” Pikachu launched off the ground and
hit Aquamarine and sent him flying into the thick woods.
“SNORE!
LAX!” Snorlax mega-punched Leviathan as hard as he could, which sent him
crashing into the woods along with Aquamarine. Leviathan, with his size,
several trees cracked and fell onto them
“All
right! STEP TWO! Cyndaquil, use fire spin! Don’t focus on strength, focus on
area!” Cyndaquil blew fire and set the trees and bushes and the undergrowth on
fire.
“GYAAA!”
Aquamarine ran out and started rolling on the ground in an attempt to get rid
of the flames over his body. “YOU JERK! THAT COULDA KILLED ME!”
CRASH!
“GAATROOOOAAAR!”
Leviathan burst out of the flaming heap of fallen trees. The flames were worse
than a fire blast attack and it gave him burn damage, making it painful for him
just to move. Thankfully he was a water type, so it didn’t do too much damage,
it still meant he was vulnerable to the burn. Leviathan roared and charged at
Snorlax, attacking him, but Pikachu struck it with a bolt of lightning
“Nice
thunderbolt Pikachu!” Ash cheered “Don’t give him a chance to do any of the
special attacks! He’s burned, and without the armour… HYDROTHUNDER!”
“TOTODIIIILE!”
“PIKACHUUU!”
Leviathan
roared in pain as electricity surged through his body. He was paralyzed, burned
and exhausted… he dropped to his knees. One good attack would take him down.
“FINISH
HIM OFF PIKACHU!” Ash shouted. “THUNDER ATTACK!!!”
“Pikachu!”
Pikachu’s cheeks sparked and he released all of his electricity. Leviathan
screamed as it surged through him. He could take no more, and collapsed…
“YES! I
WIN!!!”
“(Sigh)
Leviathan, return.” Aquamarine called his prizefighter pokémon into the
pokéball. “No… this is too much. Even against a pokémon powerful enough to take
down 001’s Tyranitar, or Lance the dragon trainer’s strongest Dragonite, you
were able to devise such tactics, to disarm my pokémon and defeat him. Maybe…
maybe you are worthier of Misty than me…” he sighed. “Hmm… PWAH!” he suddenly spat,
“LIKE HELL I’D EVER SAY THAT! I’M NOT DONE YET!!! PREPARE YOURSELF!!!”
“Hmmm!”
Ash and his pokémon stood ready as Aquamarine grabbed his trident
“Grr….!”
Aquamarine gritted his teeth as he gripped his trident, twirling it in front of
him and taking a fighting stance, gripping it with both hands. It was extremely
painful, because his wrist was injured, but he could bear it… “Hmmm…” closing
his eyes, he held his trident tight, focusing hard. “Since before I left
Cerulean city, I have been training to master this technique, one that requires
the power of the body and soul…” A blue aura surrounded his body.
“A body
and soul technique?!” Ash gasped. Suddenly, it dawned on him… he could sense
it. DANGER!!! “A-ah…” Ash started to tremble. Aquamarine’s power… he could feel
it… it was tremendous! He looked at his pokémon. “Grrr…” Ash growled.
Aquamarine’s power… there was no attack he had… no, no attack in existence that
could possible stand up it! “No… we won’t run” Ash exclaimed, gripping his
knuckles. He wasn’t gonna back down. “We’ll stand together, all for one!” he
said, and his pokémon cheered, “We’ll combine all our strengths, and beat this
psycho!”
“PIKAAAAA…”
Pikachu charged and powered up his attack
“CYN-DAAAAA…”
Cyndaquil’s flames burst and flared and he opened his mouth, preparing to fire
the heavy blast in his flamethrower attack
“TOTO…”
Totodile never learned how to do Hydro pump, so he’d have to focus all his
energy into a water gun
“SNOOOOOORE…”
Snorlax opened his mouth and concentrated his energy into a hyper beam
“TAAAUUU…”
Tauros was gonna do a Hyper Beam attack
“COOO…”
Kingler opened his claw. Totodile’s already supplying the water for the attack,
so he was gonna use hyper beam
“(Merely
attacking together won’t be enough…)” Ash said to himself. “(What I’m
about to try, is something no one’s ever done before… to truly combine their
strengths, to fully bind the elements, and merge them together…)” he looked
at his pokémon. “(But what if it doesn’t work? There’s no way we’ll survive
Aquamarine’s attack!)” he growled, “(No! I can’t start thinking like
that… I have to have faith in my pokémon… in their strength… in their
abilities… I trust them…)”
“You
think you can win? I don’t think so…” Aquamarine grinned, “You will be defeated
by my attack! Your attack may be strong, but the power of mine outshines yours,
and it doesn’t come from strength alone! TERROR OF THE DEEP! HAAAA!” He struck
the ground with his trident. Blue energy started to flame, and heading towards
them, tearing through the ground was what appeared to be a crystal-blue dorsal
fin. It rose out of the ground as it sped forwards, and Ash gasped at what he
saw. It was a huge beam of energy, but the front was shaped as a shark’s head
with all the fins and gills and not to mention very sharp teeth…
“NOW!
FIRE!” Ash ordered
“PIKAAA!”
“QUIIIIL!”
“DIIIIILE!”
“LAAAAX!”
“ROOOOS!”
“KIIIIING!”
The
three hyper-beams soared through the air spiralling around each other. The force
of the beams also carried the water, which was electrified by Pikachu’s
electricity. Spinning around the powerful beam was a wave of fire.
CRASH!!!
The
mighty energy beam hit the terrifying terror of the deep.
“COME
ON!” Ash shouted over the loud crashing noise. Both beams pushed against each
other, everyone was trying to put more power into it, “HOW CAN ANY HUMAN BEING
HAVE SO MUCH POWER!??!”
“HEH-HEH…”
Aquamarine was sweating. He was emptying his energy into this single attack. “I
WILL NOT LOSE! THE TERROR OF THE DEEP CANNOT BE DEFEATED! HHHAAAAAAAAAAA!”
While
the powerful beam containing three hyper beams and a bit of each earthly
element, it was still not enough. Against the power of this warrior, merely
attacking together wasn’t enough. The new attack was starting to fall apart…
“No!
HOLD TOGETHER!” Ash shouted, but the beam was breaking “NOOO!” Ash screamed. It
was too late… each element flew in each direction “WAAAA!”
KABOOM!!!!
Pikachu,
Totodile, Cyndaquil, Tauros, Kingler and Snorlax got hurt and collapsed… and
even though Ash wasn’t hit directly by the Terror of the Deep beam, the
explosion sent him flying.
Aquamarine
panted, he had emptied most of his energy into this single beam, but it was
worth it. Ash groaned and struggled to get up. The mere shock of the attack hit
Ash hard. “So, looks like I win.” Aquamarine jumped and kicked Ash on the face.
Ash dropped to the ground and struggled to get up. “The last sight you will see
will be me laughing in triumph before sending you to the graveyard…” Aquamarine
swung the trident, but Ash managed to roll out of the way and get up.
Aquamarine growled and continued to jab at him, but Ash kept moving from side
to side. “You’re still moving?! What do I have to do to take you down and make
you STAY down?!”
“Like
such a thing exists!” Ash spat, “WA!” he exclaimed, diving down and missing a
thrust. “WAWAWAAA!” he ran back, still trying to keep away from that thing.
“DEEP
SKEWER!” Aquamarine struck HARD with the trident, but Ash held the QuickSilver between
his hands and blocked. Aquamarine twisted the trident hard and the board flew
out of Ash’s hands. “You’re completely disarmed! I’m not gonna bother with the
air pressure attack, I’m gonna do the direct hit! TIDAL SPEAR!”
“WAAA!”
Ash ducked and his head barely missed the attack. The sheer force of it took
his hat right off his head. Ash sprang up and made a dash to catch it, but
Aquamarine jumped up
“DEEP
SKEWER!” Aquamarine struck down with the powerful stab. He missed Ash, and his
trident punched right into Ash’s cap…
“AH!”
Ash screamed
“GRRR…
OCEAN LANCE!!!” Aquamarine roared…
FWOOM!!!
“AH…”
Ash gasped, as Aquamarine’s attack fired down from the trident, and Ash’s rare and
not to mention irreplaceable pokémon league cap exploded. Bits of cloth and
shredded pieces of his cap in the air. He was completely speechless and
stretched his hands out, letting a few bits of it fall into his hands. That cap
took months and a ton of effort for him to receive, and right here, right now,
in just a few seconds, it was nothing but worthless shreds…
“See
what I did to you’re cap? That’s what’s gonna happen to you when I hit you
directly with the Terror of the Deep! Prepare to Die Ketchum! HAAAAA… URK!?”
Aquamarine sweatdropped as Ash’s hand shot forward and grabbed him by the neck.
His other hand pulled the trident out of Aquamarine’s hands, and snapped it in
two.
“GRRRRRR…”
Ash snarled, and a massive killer aura was surrounding him…
“GAH…!”
Aquamarine trembled… “AGH!” he screamed when Ash then pulled his face close and
head-butted him
“YOU
BASTARD! THAT CAP WAS IRREPLACEABLE!!!” Ash was shouting, pounding Aquamarine’s
face with his other hand on each syllable
POW!
Aquamarine
was sent flying high into the air when Ash uppercutted him. Aquamarine came
crashing down, and out cold. “HMPH!” Ash kicked him, “If I were a senseless
violent brute like Misty, I would’ve broken your arms and legs and made sure
you’d stay a cripple the rest of your life, but I’m not that kind of person,
lucky for you…” he scoffed, “However… don’t think I’ll let you go, just like
that! You’ve hurt me very deeply just now and I’m gonna do something horrible!
And I’m talking about more than taking your wallet! Speaking of which …” Ash
reached into Aquamarine’s pockets… “Sheesh, what kind of idiot writes down his
bank account number and leaves it in his pockets?” He asked himself as he
picked up the small piece of paper. “Payment for the cap…” he smirked, also
picking up the golden body armour and helmet. “Now it’s time to pay for giving
me all that trouble”
(Several
hours later)
“Owwww…
What hit me?” Aquamarine woke up and rubbed his head. “Hmmm? What’s that?”
There was an envelope lying in front of him. He reached over and picked it up.
“THIS LETTER! IT’S… FROM MISTY! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!”
Aquamarine
read the letter
To my dearest Aquamarine
From the moment I first met you, I knew you
were the one. I have always loved you the way you have loved me. I have
attached a map to where you can find me. I will wait for you forever…
From your darling love, Misty
“OH…
MY… GOD!” Aquamarine exclaimed. He sprinted through the woods faster than Ash’s
QuickSilver could ever move.
(Location-
“(Pant…)
Misty… for you I shall swim across the oceans, I’d cross the deserts, I would
travel to the VERY end of the earth! (Which by the way, I seemed to have done
all of the above just now…)” Aquamarine pulled himself up on the last ledge of
THUNK!
“GAK!”
A rock fell and hit him on his already-injured “Hmmm? What’s this?” There was
some writing engraved on the rock, along with a picture of Ash, who was pulling
an eyelid down and sticking out his tongue
If you
are reading this Aquamarine, YOU have been suckered by Ash Ketchum!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
“AH…”
Aquamarine gasped. Veins became apparent on his forehead, and his eye started
ticking, “Ash… Ketchum…” he twitched, gripping the rock so tight, he crushed it
into dues, “GRRRRRRAAAAAHHHH!!!!!” He and roared, “ASH KETCHUM!!!!! I AM GOING
TO KILL YOU!!!!!!”
KILL
YOU! KILL YOU! KILL YOU… Aquamarine’s voice echoed over the horizon.
(Location-Deeper
in the
“So
Aquamarine lost, didn’t he?” Asked Goth
“Yeah!”
Twin Dreamer shouted downwards. He had been watching the fight from the air and
transmitting what he was seeing telepathically to the rest of the super fiends
“This
is bad” Said Bonsai
“Real
Bad” said Cleft
“If
Ketchum could beat Aquamarine, how’re we fiends supposed to stand up to him?”
Asked AntiArctic
“We
won’t stand a chance. The kid’s dangerous when someone makes him mad, and when
Aqua destroyed his hat, he crossed the line!” G.I. Jolt crossed his arms, “Both
of them did something to make him mad before fighting him! Doppelganger
captured his girlfriend, and Waterboy ripped his hat to shreds, and NOW look
what happens to them! How can any of us fight him without getting him mad?”
“There’s
no need to be worried about anything” Sky Render said rather calmly
“HUH?”
All the super fiends stared at Sky
“Aquamarine
is very strong, but he lost for several reasons. One, his strength lies within
his skills, and when he was fighting with all that fury in his heart, and
clouding his head, of course he’s not gonna fight doing the smartest things”
Said Sky Render
“Maybe,
but what do we do now?” Asked the fiends
“When
we see him next, it will be time…” Sky Render stood up, “I will fight against
him in the next battle!” When they heard this, all the super fiends started
chatting excited amongst themselves. Sky Render was more skilled than all of
them combined, and watching him fight is a real treat. Sky Render smirked “And
in other news, we’re leaving the Missingno gang for good! They’re too weak and
being associated with them is bad for our image!”
“ALL
RIGHT!” The Super fiends cheered, “So what are we waiting for? This is better
than a party, ‘cuz here we go!”
(Meanwhile)
“Urgh…”
Aquamarine sighed, finally calming down. “No point sitting around any longer.
I’d better get down from here… GAH?!” he looked down, he saw that one of his
arms and BOTH his legs and were broken, and that he was sitting on a small
ledge that stuck out of the mountain. He looked up and saw the wall was going
at a 90o angle and was completely smooth, looking down, it was the exact same
thing. “How… the… hell… AM I SUPPOSED TO GET DOWN FROM HERE GODDAMMIT!?!?” he
screamed, punching the ground hard.
-CRACK-
“GAH…”
He sweatdropped. The platform sticking out of the mountain face cracked…
“GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!” his voice echoed as he fell lower and lower…
-THUD-
“ow…”
Ash
may have gotten rid of Aquamarine for now, but their battle isn’t over.
Aquamarine, determined as ever has found a new goal, to kill Ash Ketchum, and
he will begin as soon as he can… uh… move. Ash hasn’t won Misty’s heart yet,
and Aquamarine will do anything not to let it happen, and things might be
different in the next match… providing he becomes less crippled. And speaking
of next match, will Ash stand a chance against the mighty Sky Render?
