48 Chapter 45 freinds and ever grand conference preliminaries

Kash P.O.V

As I arrive at the ever grand conference I decide to register before doing anything else as I walk toward the front desk and wait for the few infront of me when I hear my name being called as I turn around

Lucy " I am so happy to see you Kash and you too Cinder" as she hugs me before bending down to pet Cinder as I smile at seeing lucy again

Kash "Great to see you too Lucy, I missed you" as I spread my aura so she can sense it as she blushes when I hear the reception lady call me

Receptionist "Are you here to sign for the contest" as she looks annoyed at our little scene

Kash "Yes, here's my badges and Id" as she looks at them and registers me as a participant as I walk away and talk to Lucy

Lucy "So lets go meet everybody" as I am curious who is here when we walk towards a restaurant and I am surprised to see whos here includes Anebel, Prof. Birch and his assistant.When I hear

Birch " I talked to your dad and he says he can be here for the qualifying round as he had a little business and that Oak and your aunt will watch from tv." as I smile at that and see Lucy a little stiff at the news realising that this will be the first time she will see my dad as she met my aunt through the phone a couple of times.

Kash "Sounds good I don't want to sound conceited but I don't think I will have a problem there," as they nod at that "Did any of you see Steven's match it was great I watched it with Drake in a box seat"

As they looked surprised and a little jealous at that little tid bit, as we start talking about the match and them wondering how he came with a stratedgy for the battle as I explain getting some gasp from them.As start to tell them at realising they havn't met Sinbad yet

Kash "I guess you haven't met my martial brother yet" as I get stares as I release Sinbad

Birch "When did you get him, how can you compare him to your other Pokemon" as they anticipate an answer

Kash "I met him when training with my master and he decided to follow me while in sinnoh but he had more training he needed to do before he could come with me then went to gramps to train a little more. If I had to compare it would be closest with Cinder here then Creek," as inbad turns to me and asks

Sinbad "the big one feels like bundle of excess energy, the one beside him feels tired, the little one has her emotions open to all allowing her to listen to us talk and the lady at your side has an aura love directed towards you" as I am surprised that Anebel has gotten that good as I smirk before I see her look of astonishment between me and Lucy. As I tell her with my aura

Kash "Keep it a secret please you can ask me or Lucy after when we are alone, and congrats on improving more and you new jobprodigy." as I see her smile

Lucy "Moving on, who are you using in your preliminaries" as I smirk getting a glare

Kash "Secret, as none of you met him yet" getting surprises from them

The next day at the conference

Announcer "I would like to annouce the start of the ever grande conference preliminaries, it is a single 1 vs 1 battle and single elimination, before we go to the qualifiers with the 256 top participant. the matches will be held between 5 stadiums and make sure you are up for your match so watch for announcments"

As I look at my number and see I am in stadium 3 and the 6th match as I don't care to mcuh to watch my opponents as 1 Pokemon is not enough to care. As I tell my freinds so they can get seats to watch and I ask Cinder to sit with them as I don't want to give to much information to those that don't do there home work. As I wait in the trainers prep room as the screen has the people before me as I watch due to boredom and nothing really stands out to me except one trainer with a Skarmory who beat a blaziken much to the crowds surprise. When it is finally my turn

Announcer "Now we have our 6th match in the stadium Kash vs Alex. Please come on out." as we walk to the field and I see my opponent in a fighting gi, making me think he was a fighting pokemon specialist. When we reach our spots I hear the referee

Referee "Now it is a 1 vs 1 battle when your Pokemon cannot continue you are eliminated, release your Pokemon trainers" as we comply

As my opponent calls out his Poliwrath and when everyone sees my Pokemon exclaim in surprise as it is a Baltoy over double the normal size. When I hear my opponent

Alex " Glad to have a tough fight but don't think I am scared of you Baltoy, he can't compare to my partner here" as I smile and tell him

Kash "While he is strong I am not worried even if this is his first battle agianst a trainer' as my opponent exclaims in anger

Alex "I will teach you not to take me lightly with a new Pokemon" asI just smile as the ref tells us to start

My opponent wants to gain the advantage when he calls for rain dance when to counter it I ask Baltoy to use sunny day as they struggle to over power each other sunny day eventually overcomes my opponents move. As my opponent to my surprise calls for ice beam making question is idea of a range battle when I call for light screen to protect him then to uses Extrasensory as hits his opponent. Who then calls for ice punch when I call for grass knot to trip him then to use psychic sending him flying as my opponent calls for rain dance again as I realise his ability must be swift swim and thats why he needed to make an oppertunity so I can't counter it again. As the next move I call for drains the colour from his face as I use trick room, making his work for nothing as I call for earthquake and thanks to his speed slowing down finish it with a psybeam getting Poliwrath to be knocked out.

Referee "Poliwrath is unable to continue, kash makes it to qualifying round" as I smile and Baltoy lands on my head as he connects with me showing his happiness at winning with me as I share my joy with him as I walk to my opponent to shake hands

Alex "I can see why you used him with his verity of attacks, it was an eye opener for me" as I tell him

Kash "I let you know a secret, he knows every move his species is capable of, the only issue is it makes it alot more difficult to evolve as a result" as he looks at me shocked as we walk away towards are own freinds
