Shagti2 Presents:

Pokemon/ Digimon Battles!

Battle one: Ash vs. Tai!

They met in the old abandoned building. It was time they put this whole thing to rest. Ash Ketchum looked at his opponent Tai, as Tai did the same. Their friends would have to fight also, but the leaders had to go first. It made sense in a way.

Both of them were dressed in their normal attire, and had made no motion to take off anything. Ash looked at Tai’s hair and started to chuckle.

”Hey, what’s so funny?” Tai asked hotly, anger rising up in him.

“It’s just that, I realized that I can literally, mop the floor with you!” Ash burst out, laughing harder.

“Yeah, well, you’re just jealous!” Tai responded, trying to think of s good comeback.

“Oh, yeah? Of what?” Ash replied coolly.

“That my hair is cooler than yours!” Tai screamed, infuriated.

“Are you going to talk about your hair, or are you going to fight?” Ash asked him. In an enraged bellow, the digi-destined rushed Ash and kneed him in the gut. The air escaped Ash’s lips in a loud out burst, and Tai kept going and kneed him again in his chest. Tai was in control. He was starting to lay left and rights into Ash, causing the pokemon trainer to back up against the furious onslaught. Then with a burst of speed and determination, Ash blocked a left jab and countered with a fierce right uppercut into Tai’s jaw. Tai rose a foot in the air at the power of the punch and landed hard on his back. He was dazed and rubbing his jaw on the ground. Ash picked him up by his lapels and punched him again with a wild right haymaker. As Tai lay on the ground, Ash started to kick at his ribs, causing the other boy to curl up in the fetal position. Ash continued kicking away, using the toe of his shoes, the balls of his feet, and his heel to attack the boy at his feet. Tai suddenly sung around, whipping his long, stiff hair, knocking Ash down hard.

Tai capitalized on Ash on the ground and grabbed his legs and put him in the figure 4 leg-lock. Ash started to yell out in pain, and tried to get out. Tai finally let go, but by then it was too late. Ash’s legs were numb from the pain and he couldn’t get up. Tai started putting in some kicks of his own, centering especially on the knees. By then, Ash’s knee was to banged up for any good use.

Tai grinned as he continued, now kicking him in the face and getting in a few low blows. Ash’s lips were bloody and he was in great pain, but he refused to give up. He closed his eyes and concentrated. Tai thought the other boy was knocked out.

“That was pathetic,” Tai muttered, and put in one more good kick before he turned around to leave.

Ash opened up his eyes again. “Enough!” he roared, his voice carrying the fury and pain he was feeling. A black mist came forth from Ash, and it flooded the ground up to three feet, covering Ash’s body. Tai stumbled back, fear all over his face. Ash stood back up, but his clothes were changed. He was dressed in a black sleeveless shirt, with matching black pants and black boots.

Tai started to back up as Ash advanced upon him. Ash lashed forward a high right roundhouse, the balls of his feet connecting with Tai’s jaw. Tai staggered back, and started to clutch at his jaw. Ash looked down at him, an arrogant smirk on his face. He backed up, and gave Tai some room. Then he shouted, “C’mon!” Tai stood up, and grabbed his courage crest. In a flash of light he, too, was transformed. He wore Metal-Greymon’s armor, and was visibly larger.

Both of them stood, giving each other the evil eye, sizing each other up. Then Ash dashed forward, and leapt in the air. He flipped once, and launched an impressive left heel kick. Tai barely moved out of the way, and assumed a boxer’s stance. Ash rebounded off of the nearby wall, back flipped, and landed in a crouch behind Tai. Then he lashed out his left leg, and spun, knocking Tai down.

Ash still in a crouch, balanced himself on his hands, and hammered the heels of feet into Tai’s chest, making miniature cracks in the armor and causing Tai to cry out in pain. Ash leapt back up to his feet, and again jumped in the air. This time, he did no fancy tricks and jumped directly on Tai’s chest, looking something like Bruce Lee did in Enter the Dragon.

Ash stepped off Tai’s chest. Miraculously, Tai was still conscious and breathing and looking rather angry. In a flash of light, he formed a beam of energy that knocked Ash back, providing him with enough space to clamber back to his feet. Tai closed his eyes, and concentrated for a second. Ash was about to rush him, but thought better of it, and folded his arms, looking amused.

Tai opened his eyes again and they were surrounded by a red aura. He turned to Ash, leapt backwards, as he formed an energy blast in his cupped hands and shot it at Ash.

“Nova-Blast!” he cried out as he released it, hoping to catch Ash. Ash looked at the large fire-ball and started to laugh, his eyes turning midnight black. Black mist surrounded him just as the fireball hit. It exploded in a blast of light and smoke, surrounding the pokemon trainer.

Tai stepped forward, examining the smoking column of fire and smoke where Ash had stood. Suddenly, black mist shot out, and blanketed the fire. Now it was just one column of the black mist that Ash controlled. The mist died down, revealing a slightly smoking Ash, on one knee and his head bowed.

Tai took a step back, clearly frightened. Ash looked up at him, giving him a smile that made him wet his pants. Literally.

Ash stood up tall, the arrogant and chilling smirk on his face still. “Since you like energy blasts so damn much, try this for size!” he shouted, as he outstretched his palms. A black ball of energy formed and got bigger and bigger. Once it was the size of a basketball, Ash threw it at Tai. Tai barely got out of the way, a bit of the energy erupting on his left side, breaking off fragments of his armor, and causing a few first-degree burns.

Tai hissed in pain, and landed on his side, and slid on the ground. As quickly as he could, he scrambled back up to his feet, and started shooting blast after rapid-fire blast at Ash. Without missing a beat, Ash started to stride forward, his cloak surrounding him, black mists swirling around him. Tai started to run away, getting some space between them. Ash kept on striding towards him, not even bothering to run.

Tai raised his arms in the air, closed his eyes and started to form a large ball of fiery energy above his head. As it got bigger and bigger, Tai allowed himself a smirk. “There’s no way you could dodge this! No way!”

He felt a hand tap his shoulder. He opened his eyes to see Ash standing there, a large, cheeky smile on his face. Before Tai could say or do anything, Ash gave him the hardest, fastest iron palm strike to Tai’s face.

It hit the other guy’s nose first, pulping and breaking it in a shower of blood, bone fragments driving themselves into the further recesses of Tai’s face. Ash, realizing the danger he was in, leapt up in the air, and then did a series of no-hand back flips, corkscrews and tumbles, landed and ran for cover. Tai dropped the energy ball he was forming. It exploded on impact, causing a large crater to form. Tai was almost instantly obliterated, and his body was thrown a hundred yards away, smoking and charred.

Before Ash left he spat on the flaming corpse and left. “Cheating bastard,” he muttered, remembering the scratches on his legs left by the dead guys hair. He powered down and was back in his normal clothes, his knee better.
