Journey Towards Greatness

While Pikachu suffered a lot from that exchange Crystal is good as new with not even a scratch on its body, that is why Julian never used Crystal in a battle, it was just him bullying his opponents.

Crystal is his strongest Sinnoh pokemon but it doesn't like to battle, it was not interested in it at all, the only thing that could win over Crystal's interest is a bottle of Moo-Moo milk and a mischief adventure with his favorite big brother Gengar who is passing down his knowledge to it. ​​

Back to the battle, the clash between Garchomp and Latios went as Julian expected, Latios got blasted away while Garchomp still maintained his position.

When it comes to physical power no one can rival Garchomp at the same level, he might be even able to push back Julian's Tyranitar if they are at the same level.

Latios gets blasted back but it quickly does a turn in mid-air and gets back to position, Tobias's biggest worry right now is Crystal, he wanted to figure out Crystal but it was all useless.

He just saw Crystal using Water Ring and healing itself after taking minor damage from Pikachu's Iron Tail.

Tobias decided that he will target Crystal while he let Ash Handle Garchomp.

Tobias "Ash switch places with me, you take on Garchomp while I will try to figure out how to deal with that little one"

He said and made his Latios go after Crystal.

Ash asked Pikachu to attack Garchomp with Quick Attack, with Pikachu's speed Garchomp had no way of dodging this attack so he took it head-on by using his fins as Armor.

Pikachu pushed Garchomp back but that was all, Pikachu is a very bad match for Garchomp, he is a ground type pokemon, he is immune to most of Pikachu's powerful Thunder type attacks and other attacks that Pikachu knows won't do much to Garchomp either.

Ash "Pikachu use ThunderBolt"

Hearing Ash Pikachu used ThunderBolt but it did zero damage to Garchomp but that was not Ash's strategy, as Pikachu used ThunderBolt it destroyed the ground below them causing dust to fly everywhere blinding both of them.

Ash 'Now use Iron Tail"

Pikachu landed on the ground and did a side turn while using Iron Tail so he could attack Garchomp's legs and he is successful.

Pikachu lands a powerful Iron Tail on Garchomp's leg causing him to roar in pain and back off.

Ash "Now use Brick Break"

As Pikachu has the lower ground his vision is far better in the dusty cloud, he charged at Garchomp and flung his tail at Garchomp's stomach using Brick Break, his tail was covered in fighting aura and he landed another hit on Garchomp, right on his stomach which caused Garchomp to back down again.

Seeing that Ash is doing very well against Garchomp Tobias sighed in relief and fully concentrated on Crystal.

Tobias "Latios, use Psychic"

Latios blasted a powerful Psychic blast at Crystal but what he saw next surprised him, the Psychic didn't do anything to Crystal.

Tobias 'Is it a dark type?'

He questioned and called out another attack.

Tobias "Use Fury Cutter"

Latios charged at Crystal using Fury Cutter but as they made contact Crystal was just pushed back with very little damage, Crystal used Aqua Ring again and healed up.

Tobias "What?"

He exclaimed as he didn't under this at all, little did he know that Crystal changed its typing before the attack could even hit it, from it changed into dark type to avoid the Psychic and then turned into Rock Type to resist the weak Fury Cutter.

All this happened but it seemed like Crystal hasn't even started to battle yet, it is still flying around in the sky giggling as it saw the expression of the people watching it.

Even the crowd is surprised by this little one they didn't understand what is happening at all.

Julian "Crystal, let's end this, use Teleport then Dragon Claw"

Crystal suddenly teleported right on top of Latios and then slashed its tiny hand at Latios's head which is covered with a massive amount of Dragon Aura which looks like a massive dragon claw, the aura from this attack seemed even purer than most dragon type attacks done by a dragon type pokemon.

Latios got hit hard and it went down crashing on the ground with no resistance, as it crashed on the ground it tried to get back to the sky but Crystal once again teleported right on top of Latios and hit it with a point-blank Dragon Pulse which ended the deal.

Latios got knocked out.

One the other side of the battlefield, as the dust cleared up everyone could see Garchomp holding onto his stomach tightly after taking a Brick Break from Pikachu, he glared at Pikachu and waited for Julian.

Julian "Garchomp, its time to end this as well, Dragon Pulse"

Garchomp blasted a powerful Dragon Pulse at Pikachu but Pikachu jumped up to dodge it as he heard the command from Ash, that is when Pikachu suddenly saw Garchomp coming straight towards him with his jaws wide open, Dragon energy covered his whole body as he used Dragon Rush, a massive energy dragon appeared and chomped down on Pikachu blasting him away.

Pikachu crashed on the ground and rolled several times on the round shattered ground which dealt a lot of damage but Ash's Pikachu didn't go down.

As soon as it got back to his feet he saw another Dragon Pulse got shot at him, this time he couldn't;t dodge it and got hit, once again he got blasted and the same thing happened, he crashed on the ground and rolled several times on the rough battlefield.

But Pikachu still got back to his feet huffing and puffing, very little energy left but he still wants to go all out.

Ash "Pikachu, let's go, Volt Tackle"

Pikachu collected a massive amount of energy in his body and charged at Garchomp, people didn't understand what Ash was doing, in their eyes, he was just wasting Pikachu's energy.

But Julian didn't think so, he knew Ash is thinking of something stupid but effective so he didn't back down.

Julian "Dragon Rush, full power"

Garchomp's roar shook the stadium as he charged at Pikachu, a massive energy dragon covered his body, as the two pokemons got closer to each other and there was no way of dodging each other, Ash made his move.

Ash "Now, Iron Tail"

Pikachu suddenly put all of his energy in his ground legs causing his legs to get dug deeper into the ground which caused it to shatter a fly everywhere, some rocks flew at Garchomp's Dragon Rush but they got disintegrated as soon at they came in contact with the Dragon Rush.

Pikachu then transferred all his built-up energy from Volt Tackle to his tail and turned very fast.

The power from Volt Tackle and the sturdiness from the Iron Tail, both attacks combined for a very strong attack.

Both of them clashed and it created such a massive explosion that it went right through the first protection layer of the stadium, then shattered through the second and finally stopped at the third but it got cracked very badly.

People who were sitting very next to the protective layer got scared shit as they thought that the explosion is going to hit them.

As the smoke cleared up everyone's jaw is hanging down, first, there were at least the remains of the battlefield but now there is nothing, just a massive crater that starts from Julian's side and ends at Ash and Tobias's.
