"Unfortunatley we have a lopsided number of trainers so a round like this was bound to happen so we're doing it now." Announces the announcer. "One hundred and ninety two trainers will enter this round, only sixty four will leave. Trainers this round will consist of three way battles. Now watch the screen as your matchups appear.
Ash looks at the screen to find his name. It only takes a moment and his heart drops as it seems that Trips theory was starting to seem right for the money. The screen read: 12:00, Field D, Ash Vs. Trip Vs. Ritchie. With a sigh, Ash looks at his friends. They look back at him.
Then Trip whispers in Ritchie's ear. "I get the feeling this'll be more of a two on one fight than a three way fight." Ritchie nods in response.
Ash sighs picking up what Trip said with his aura enhanced hearing. "Alright you guys it's bed time. Lets get going 'cause the sooner this day is over, the sooner two more of us get kicked out of the tournament." Concluded Ash, walking away towards his room. Seeing that he was right, everyone went their seperate ways to rest up for the fourth round.
The next moreing Ash is on his way to field D, deciding that he should get there early in order to get ready for his battle against Trip and Ritchie. On his way there he notices that someone is following him. He wasn't too sure who it was that they seem to have an electric aura. After a while of walking, he checks to see if anyone is around and then comes to a stop.
"You can come out now." He says turning around to see who is behind him. He raises an eyebrow when he sees that it's Angie who was following him.
"H-hey Ash." She says blushing.
He smiles. "Hey Angie." Says Ash.
Angie looks at the trainer from Kanto before speaking. "Dawn told me about your... situation."
Ash blushes slightly and coughs into his hand. "Yeeeaaah... look just because I have multiple mates doesn't mean I'm some sorta playboy. I just treasure each of them closely and would do anything to keep them safe." Explains Ash. Angie walks a few steps closer to him so that she's only about a foot away.
"Is that so?" She asks. Ash nods his head. Then feeling bold she says. "In that case..." Then she pulls the sixteen year old into a kiss. They stay this way for a moment then pull away with a huge blush creeping up Angies face. "C-can I p-please be one of y-your mates?" Asks Angie with a slight stutter in her voice.
Ash nods and pulls her into a hug. She smiles and then returns the hug. They stay that way for a moment then Angie pulls away. "You better get going your match will be starting soon." Says the Sinnoh native with a smile gesturing towards the stadium.
Ash nods and starts running towards the stadium. He gets there just in time for the round to begin. He walks down a hallway onto the field where Trip and Ritchie are waiting for him.
"And here is our final competitor! The star of the show Ash Ketchum!" Booms the announcer, nearly deafening everyone yet again. "Alright trainers you'll have the use of two pokemon in this round so choose wisely." Says the announcer.
Ash smiles, already knowing which two pokemonn he'll use. Perfect choices for battling, a trainer from Kanto and a trainer from Unova.
"Trainers send out your first Pokémon!" Instructs the anouncer. The three trainers reach for the Pokémon on their belts. Ash looks up to see his friends Gary, Misty, Brock, May, Miette, and Angie all watching him, unfortunatley everyone else had either battles or friends who were battling to watch.
"Conkeldurr I choose you." Says Trip sending out the fighting type pokemon.
"Swellow I choose you!" Says Ritchie sending out his normal and flying type. Both trainers turn to see Ash's choice.
"Emboar I choose you!" Says Ash sending out his fire and fighting type pokemon. The three Pokémon stood ready to fight.
Then the announcer called out. "Now for the field, today we have fire, poison, rock, or steel!" Then the announcer gestured towards the screen showing four tiles, a red one, a purple one, a brown one, and a silver one. "And the field for this battle will be... steel!" Said the announcer as the other three tiles disappeared, seeing only the silver one.
The field changed one completely made of metal. Ash looked at the field knowing that any impact with the field was most likely going to hurt, so the pokemon were going to have to be careful in this battle.
"The three way battle between Ash, Ritchie, and Trip will now begin, each trainer has access to two pokemon and will be eliminated when both of their pokemon are deemed unable to battle. Trainers ready? Battle begin!" Shouted the referee waving his flags signaling the start of the pokemon battle.
"Ash turned to look at the opponents battle."Three way battle? Please, this is basically two on one." Thought Ash with a smirk.
"Emboar let's start things of with Heat wave!" Shouts Ash. The fire type respods by firing a wave of heat at his foes, due to one of Heat waves effects it hits both enemy Pokémon, damaging both of them. The two enemy pokemon recover from the move and look ready to go.
"Conkeldurr use Thunder punch!" Said Trip.
"Swellow use Ominous wind!" Instructed Ritchie. Trips fighting type charges forward hand charged with electricity while Swellow sent of purple gusts of wind at Emboar.
"Stop Conkeldurr by grabing him then use him as a shield!" Says Ash. Emboar reaches out to the enemy fighting type grabbing his arms and stopping his attack, then he moves Conkeldurr infront of him, using him as a shield from Swellows Ominous wind. Then Emboar pushes his opponent to the ground to get some distance.
"Now use Poison Jab!" Says Ash. Emboar arm glows purple as he jabs Conkeldur in the stomach knocking the fighting type back.
"Use Drain punch!" Says the Unova trainer.
"Use Boomburst!" Shouts Ritchie. Conkeldurr rushes Emboar with a glowing fist but when Swellow fires his attack he stops in his tracks. Emboar and Conkeldurr are knocked back by the loud burst of sound. Trip glares at Ritchie.
"Sorry probably should've warned you first." Says Ritchie with a sheepish grin.
"Tch" is the only response the Kanto trainer got. When Swellow stops it floats down closer to where his trainer was. Conkeldurr moved back to Trip with a slightly dazed look, Emboar however looked pretty much fine.
"Use Hidden power (Electric)!" Instructs Ritchie.
"Conkeldurr you use Ice punch!" Shouts Trip. Swellow fires off a yellow version of Hidden power at Emboar while the enemy fighting type ran towards Emboar with a frozen fist.
"Bat it back!" Shouts Ash. Emboar takes one of his hluking arms and knocks the Hidden power back at Conkeldurr, stopping both attacks at once.
"Swellow use Hurricane and finish him off!" Says Ritchie getting frusterated. Swellow sends off an insane gust of wind towards Emboar.
"Look out! Use Stone edge!" Insrtucts Ash. Emboar responds to they flying type move by smashing the ground sending large glowing spikes from the ground into Swellow knocking the pokemon out.
"Swellow!" Shouts Ritchie.
"Grr!! Conkeldurr take that pig down with Fire punch!" Instructs Trip. Conkeldurr swings a flaming fist at Emboars face.
"Stop him right there, use Hammer arm!" Says Ash. Emboar side steps the Fire punch then swings a glowing arm onto the top of Conkeldurr's head fainting the fighting type.
"Conkeldurr and Swellow are unable to battle." States the referee. Both of Ash's opponents recall their pokemon. Ash looks over to see that Emboar is looking a little tired himself. He holds up a pokeball and puts Emboar back inside.
"Thanks Emboar, now take a rest for the rest of this battle, okay?" Says Ash looking at his Pokémon's pokeball. He then returns Emboar to his waist and grabs his other pokemon.
Trip goes first. "Serperior I choose you." Says the young trainer.
Next up is Ritchie, he sticks out his arm and says "Sparky I choose you!" Then the Pikachu on his shoulder runs up the arm and onto the field.
Finally it's Ash's turn. "Pidgeot I choose you!" Says the Pallet trainer sending out his original normal and flying type Pokémon.
"Resume the battle!" Says the referee waving his flags.
"Sparky zap that bird with Thunder!" Says Ritchie wanting to start off strong. Sparky creates clouds above Pidgeot preparing to unleash the lighting onto the flying type.
Meanwhile Trip decides to also attack. "Serperior use Hidden power (rock)!" Shouts the Unovan. Serperior fires of a brown version of the Hidden power move.
"Pidgeot dodge to the side to avoid Thunder then use Razor wind to counter the Hidden power!" Instructs Ash. Pidgeot moves to the side succesfully avoiding the gigantic lightning bolt that comes down next to him then though it takes a moment to prepare but then Pidgeot is able to counter the Hidden power destroying the ball of energy.
"Sparky use Surf!" Shouts Ritchie. Sparky creates a gigantic wave and charges at Pidgeot.
"Serperior use Energy ball!" Instructs Trip. Serperior fires a large green grass type projectile towards Pidgeot then get's swept up in the Surf earning Ritchie a glare from Trip.
"Pidgeot use Mirror move!" Says Ash. Pidgeot copies the Energy ball then fires it at Sparky. The copied grass type move collides with Sparky knocking the electric type off the wave and negating the attack unfortunatly Pidgeot is hit by Energy ball fired by Serperior. Fortunately the normal type is able to quickly recover. After regaining his balance Pidgeot faced his opponents ready for Ash's next instruction for the battle.
"Serperior use Dragon pulse!" Says Trip as his grass type starter fires off a beam of draconic energy from his mouth.
"Sparky use Disarming voice!" Instructs Ritchie to his loyal electric type. The Pikachu shouts off the fairy type move, pink waves of sound reach the ears of the other two pokemon causing them to stop in their tracks. Due to Sparky's attack, Serperiors Dragon pulse missed it's target.
"Alright Pidgeot use Hidden power (fighting)!" Shouts Ash. Pidgeot forms a dark red version of the Hidden power attack in his wings then launches it at Sparky, the move collides with the electric mouse knocking him back.
Trip turns to Ritchie. "Let's hit him full power!" Says Trip, wanting to finish of Ash's Pidgeot. Ritchie nods in response agreeing with Trip.
Both trainers face Ash. "Sparky, Volt tackle!" Says Ritchie. His Pikachu runs forward with his body surrounded in electricity.
"Serperior use Leaf tornado!" Shouts Trip, Serperior in turn fires a tornado of leaves from his tail at Pidgeot.
"Stop them right there Pidgeot! Use Hurricane!" Instructs Ash. Pidgeot flaps his wings creating the immensly powerful flying type move. It stops both enemy pokemons attacks an knocks the enemy pokemon back. Then Pidgeot lowers himself to be directly above Ash. Ash smiles at his two rivals.
"You guys are impressive, but it's time for me to give this battle everything I've got." Says Ash. His rivals widen their eyes realizing what Ash meant. Then holding up his keystone Ash says a brutalthree words that strike fear into his opponents hearts.
"Pidgeot, Mega evolve!"
