Return of the defeated (on hold)

/Part 12/

"Good work buddy, get some rest I know how much you hate water." He said to his pokemon.

Misty quickly put her game face back on and called out her next pokemon.

"Corsola it's your turn." The pink coral pokemon landed ready for battle with a small hopping like dance.

Ash smiled seeing Misty's Corsola was still as happy as ever as he pulled out his next pokemon, "Luxray I choose you!"

Luxray landed on the platform in front of Ash and seemed to shy away from the stares of everyone.

"Its ok, Luxray don't worry about everyone here. Just focus on my voice and Corsola's moves ok." He gave Ash a small meek nodded and stood taller and let his intimidating stature take effect.

Ash wanted to give Luxray a chance to get over a little bit of shyness so he took the first move. "Luxray let's start things off. Use Scary Face, then get in and use Wild Charge." Luxray contoured his face into a scary scowl causing Corsola's speed to drop giving him the chance to slam into the small water and rock type, sending her rolling then falling into the water. Ash remembered that Corsola was quite fast and even though Luxray had speed, she would be able to out maneuver him if they didn't act first.

Misty smirked at Ash's tactics, even with the loss of speed, she still had more speed and the upper hand. "Corsola fight back use Double-edge!"

Corsola burst out of the water shrouded in golden enenergy. As Luxray was dealing with the recoil damage from his attack he wasn't able to fully dodge the attack when Ash called out to him. Corsola slammed into his front shoulders launching him across the water before holding was able to dig his claws in and getting back on his feet. He let out a deep growl causing Ash to smile, Ash had hoped that a real battle would help him come out of his shell and be more open.

"Are you good Luxray?" Ash asked the gleam eyes pokemon. The only response he got was a loud roar as Luxray bounded towards Corsola with his claws glowing with power of Night Slash.He raked them down Corsola, but at the last second before the attack landed Misty called for Corsola to use Harden.

Even with extra defensive boost she still cried out in pain as the dark type move hit her. Misty knew Corsola was strong but those moves carried a lot of power but she was going to do everything to win.

"Corsola don't give up let's use Power Blast!" Ash looked slighty shocked at the attack not knowing what it was and Luxray braced for whatever may come. Corsola summoned large boulders and sent them hurling them towards Luxray, then she launched a glowing beam of energy giving them more power. The double rock type move collided with Luxray burying him in the rubble, Misty knew this was her shot.

"Corsola finish this use Bulldoze." Corsola cried her battle cry and charged at her downed opponent. Misty smirked thinking she had the when but when she looked across the pool her smirk disappeared. Ash had a calm smile on his face and the look of a wild idea in his eyes.

"Luxray dig deep buddy and show them your power!" Ash yelled to be heard through the rubble. A loud roar sounded and the area shook slightly, when suddenly large bolts of electricity blasted out the rocks. Luxray stood tall covered in signs of battle and he unleashed a powerful Thunder. The powerful electric attack collided with Corsola, with the benefit of Bulldoze she was able to push through still taking considerable damage. Corsola made contact with Luxray causing an explosion from the two attacks fighting each other.
