Chapter 571 - Last Pokemon?

As Dragonite and Infernape clash with each other, Dragonite using Giga Impact while Infernape using Focus punch, as the clash happens it creates a massive shockwave that rattles the whole battlefield, the audience who are sitting behind the forcefield could feel the vibration from that attack.

With a big bang the whole battlefield is destroyed, cracks everywhere, smoke blocking everyone's vision, the battlefield goes silent after the big bang as people are waiting for the result, as the smoke clears up the audience can see both Infernape and Dragonite standing, staring at each other.

Dragonite suddenly flinches and goes down on the ground and faints, seeing the result the crowd burst in cheers as they see Infernape triumph again.

By now Infernape has taken down three of Tobias's pokemons.

Referee "Dragonite is unable to battle, Infernape wins"

As he finished his statement he sees Infernape collapse on the ground as well and faints, seeing this everyone is shocked, they thought that Infernape would be able to go another round but it looks like it over-exerted itself ion this battle.

Referee "Infernape is unable to battle as well"

Since Infernape stood till the referee finished his statement, Infernape was the clear winner and now that he is unable to continue the referee has to send him away.

The crowd tense up as the end of this battle is getting near, while Tobias has still two pokemon left in his team, Ash has only his Pikachu.

People knew that the winner could be either one, Ash's Pikachu has proven himself time and time again, its ability to overcome stronger opponents is something that has surprised many.

Tobias takes out another Pokeball and tosses it up in the air and sends out his next pokemon, another giant and this time it takes the sky, its large wings block the sunlight from reaching the ground and its roar shakes the surrounding, a Salamence.

Julian 'As expected another Pseudo Legendary'

He thought and looked at Ash and his Pikachu, hew knew Pikachu is a lot stronger than ever and even his pokemons will have to battle it seriously if they want to defeat Ash's Pikachu.

Ash looked at his Pikachu and nodded his head with a smile. his Pikachu nodded his head and ran into the battlefield and took his stance, he is ready to go all out, he always has and this battle is no different.

The battle started and Salamence tried to end it quickly but Ash's Pikachu is very fast, most of Salamence attacks are being dodged, and then Pikachu would counter with a powerful Electro Ball, Electro Ball is a move that is more effective when the opponent is a lot slower than the user, the slower the opponent the greater the damage.

Compared to Pikachu Salamence is really slow, when the Electro Ball hits it, it gets zapped hard but it is strong enough to withstand those attacks and continue.

Tobias tries to limit Pikachu's movements but it is of no use, Pikachu is just too fast for it.

Seeing normal attacks are just being dodged by Pikachu, Tobias felt troubled and decided to fake an attack and instructed his Salamence to use Thunder Fang.

Salamence dove down fast at Pikachu with its fangs covered with electricity, seeing the head-on attack, Ash decided to play safe and hit Salamence with a Thunderbolt but with the power behind it, Salamence tore through the Thunderbolt, seeing that Thunderbolt didn't work Ash's called out for an Iron Tail.

Pikachu jumped up in the air and did a front flip to land a powerful Iron Tail on Salamence as they were about to connect Tobias called another move.

Tobias "Iron Tail as well"

Salamence quickly planted its foot on the ground and turned around very fast to land a powerful Iron Tail on Pikachu from the side, Pikachu got sent flying to the side but it is not over.

Ash "Thunder, full power"

As Pikachu is still in the air her used Thunder, as Salamence in on the ground it will take some time to get back on the air, Thunder can be dodged but if someone is even a little bit slower, they will get zapped.

The same thing happened to Salamence, a massive lightning bolt descended from the sky and blasted Salamence, it roared in pain and collapsed on the ground after, the Thunder didn't stop and its power increased further which caused Salamence to get planted deep into the ground, the Lightning the charred the ground completely along with everything around it, Salamence couldn't take the attack for much longer and gets knocked out.

Pikachu landed on his feet and looked at the crater he created and his fallen opponent, once again the match has come to a one on one bout.

The trainer who participated in the whole league with only one pokemon has now been forced to go all out in the semifinals, nobody thought that this battle would be so close, most of them thought that Tobias will win and would be facing Julian in the finals.

But to everyone surprise, Ash and his pokemon held their own against a very powerful team or broken pokemons.

Now the whole crowd is waiting for Tobias's final pokemon, everyone is expecting a big one and that is what they are about to get, Tobias took out his last Pokeball and it is a Great Ball, seeing this Julian is on edge as well, even his Darkrai who was clearly the strongest of his pokemons till now was in a normal Pokeball so Julian wondered what pokemon could be inside it.
