Episode 75: Futures carved in ice! Battle on the ice field!
“Teresa, I look like an Eskimo!” It was the next day and Ash was in the locker room, ready to go on. He was dressed in a furry dark brown parka trimmed with white fur (it went down to his knees), blue jeans, dark blue snow boots, and white mittens.
“But the ice field is really cold!” Teresa protested.
“She does have a point there, Ash.” Charlotte said. She wore a dark blue jacket trimmed with white fur over her cheerleading outfit. “The arena is solid ice…”
“See? Even Charlotte agrees with me!” Teresa said.
“I have no complaints.” Pika-chan said, she was wearing her own tiny brown parka with a hood and the hood was pulled over her head. Ash hadn’t put his own hood on yet.
Ash sighed. Loudly. But he bravely went outside.
“Now, for our fourth match on the ice field! The red trainer Ash Ketchum will be fighting the green trainer Bob Shepard!”
Ash thought quickly. * Bob uses mostly dragon-types, right? Wait… could it be him? No way! But still… *
Charlotte and Pika-chan tensed. “That’s!”
“I just hope Ash can pull through the battle.” Pika-chan whispered.
Vulpix-chan and Angel snuck off. < We’ll be watching… >
“Dragonite, I choose you!”
“Skymew, I choose you!” Ash said. Skymew appeared, to much applause from the audience.
“Dragonite, let’s make this quick! Swat it down with Hyper Beam!”
“Skymew! Bubble shield!” Skymew nodded and the protective blue bubble went up around her. The Hyper Beam just bounced off.
< Now I’ll use Ice Beam! > Skymew said, as she threw the beam of freezing liquid at Dragonite.
Dragonite tried to dodge, but it nailed a wing.
Skymew put her hands on her hips. < Have you had enough? >
No way! I’m not going to lose to a weak pokemon like you! Dragonite swore.
< Suit yourself. > Skymew said. < Then I’ll use – BLIZZARD! > This attack took Dragonite down with a bang.
“Amazing!” The announcer crowed. “And Bob is now down one pokemon! What will he use next?”
“Might as well match type for type.” Bob said. “Scarlet, go!” A red Gyrados appeared in the ring.
< Both flying-water types… > Ash thought to pika-chan. < Should I switch? >
< Suit yourself. > Pika-chan said.
“Dragon Rage!”
“Skymew, Spark!” The electricity collected in a ball on Skymew’s tail and she flung it at Gyrados.
Gyrados’s dragon rage managed to deflect some of it, though. So it was still standing.
“Hyper Beam!”
Ash rolled his eyes. * Doesn’t he use anything else? Oh well. * “Use Thunder!”
Skymew looked a bit puzzled, but nodded and called down some electricity from the sky, striking Gyrados down.
“Fire Blast!”
Ash winced. * So that’s what a Red Gyrados can do… hmm… *
“Water Gun!”
The two attacks cancelled again. Skymew flew a few feet away from Gyrados, ready to fight again.
“Hyper Beam!” This time, Skymew didn’t get out of the way fast enough and slammed into Ash’s platform.
“Skymew, use Recover!” Skymew nodded and healed itself.
Bob took this chance to spray his Gyrados with Max Potion. “Use Hyper Beam again!”
“Sheesh, how many of those does it have? Skymew, Teleport!”
Skymew nodded and vanished from view, reappearing above Gyrados’s head.
Ash closed his eyes. * Might as well try this. * “Match Thunder!”
Skymew almost smirked as Ash transferred some of Sunny’s knowledge to the floating pokemon. The electric attack crashed down on Gyrados, taking it out.
However, Skymew was so tired from all that energy that she fainted also.
“Double K.O.!” The referee said. “Each will now pick his last pokemon!”
“Aerodactyl, I choose you!”
Ash frowned. * Another dragon? Figures… *
“Skymew, you did great, girl! Come back! Storm, go!” * Might as well match dragon to dragon… *
The crowd sighed and cheered.
Bob’s jaw dropped.
“Storm, use Tsunami!” Storm nodded and a terrible typhoon began to brew. Water mixed with ice and electricity crashed into Aerodactyl at gale force speeds. Aerodactyl didn’t really have much of a chance.
Ash smiled as it toppled. “I win!”
Bob cursed. It was so diabolical and twisted that I’m not putting it down. In any case, everyone else in the stadium was rather disturbed.
“Come on, it’s just a match.” A random audience member said.
Bob incinerated the unfortunate man.
“It’s definitely him.” Charlotte whispered to Pika-chan as they slunk out. “Time to get ready.”
Pika-chan nodded and transformed.
Angel and Vulpix-chan crept out of the shadows, already transformed.
“Now you die!” Bob shouted as he threw a Hyper Beam at Ash. Ash quickly shielded himself in mist and teleported out.
“Key that hides the power of the stars, reveal your true form before me! Your master under the seal of contract Ashura commands you, Release!” The golden magic circle surrounded him and he grabbed his staff.
“I hope this will work…” Ash thought as he took out the Destiny card. “Destiny!” The card’s magic enveloped him in a swirl of white misty strands. His clothes melted away and were replaced by decorative golden armor. The white feathery fringes appeared around his face, contrasting with his black hair. Tufts of white feathers covered his thighs, and his legs changed into sharp golden talons. A pair of golden armlets appeared on his arms. From the back of his armored ‘skirt’ trailed three long white feathers. A double pair of white wings sprouted from his shoulders, glinting brightly in the sun’s glare.
Meanwhile…
“Sleep!” Charlotte said, releasing the little red pixie. “Could you put all the people to sleep for me, please?” Sleep nodded happily and went about her business, sprinkling powder everywhere.
“Great! Now where’s Ash?” Charlotte felt out with her magic and felt his aura close by. “Good.”
“Charizard, go!” She said, sending out the pokemon. It charged Bob angrily and got him good with Flamethrower.
Bob angrily hissed. “Who are you to challenge me?”
Charlotte grinned. “Charlotte Angel. Fire master of the triple guardianship, and Sun card master.” Her ruby-red wings caught the light and glowed brightly. “And now that the sun is at its brightest, my power is at its strongest. FIREY!” This time, the fire angel nailed Bob, pinning him down.
“I’m here too!” Ash said. “Destiny, a.k.a. Lightning master of the triple guardianship. Oh, and pokemon card master too. Take this! ZAPDOS!” The card glowed brightly as it changed into an Ash tree card.
“NOOOO!” Bob screamed in frustration. “Not this! But you need all three elements to beat me!”
“Perhaps I can be of assistance then.” A voice said. “BLIZZARD!” A barrage of ice shards slammed into Bob.
“Now!” Pika-chan said. They nodded and flung out the Seal.
Bob was trapped. He screamed in rage as the seal settled over his features, turning him into gray mist and sealing him indefinitely.
Both Chosen breathed a sigh of relief.
“Who?” Pika-chan asked, turning around to face the third player. However, his face was shadowed.
“I should leave now. Loop!” And with that, he vanished.
Ash gasped. “That’s the person from my dreams. Wait! Don’t go!” But it was too late. The person had already vanished.
“Well, at least you know how to get home now. And we did seal Bob.” Charlotte said.
Ash nodded grimly.
End Episode 75! Flames will be used to create Fly, so I can release it in huge bird form and set it on Nelvana! Mwahahaha!
