Chapter 4

4 months have passed and Ash is ready for his battle with the elite 4 and has made his way to Indigo Plato where the battle will take place. Prof Oak has sent all of Ash's pokemon and they were waiting on him in his locker room. Ash is aloud 3 people to be on the sidelines to act like coaches, and Ash chose, May, Brock, and Max.

"Brock do you know what kind of Pokemon Prima uses?" asked Ash

"Yes, she uses Ice and Water type and Bruno uses Rock/Fighting types." Said Brock

"I'm glad that there is a 24 hour break in between the 2nd and 3 battles, otherwise I would be screwed. " said Ash

The ref for the battle came in "Here is what Pokemon Prima will be using in your battle with her, it will be a 5 on 6 battle. Lapras, Jinx, Slowbro, Dewgong, and Cloyster. Have you decided witch 6 pokemon you will take with you for your battle with Prima?" asked the Ref

"Yes, Snorlax, Bulbasaur, Bayleaf, Corphish, Tauros and Pikachu." said Ash

Ash, Brock, May and Max make there way to the coliseum for the battle. "This Elite 4 Challenge battle is between Prima and Ash Ketchum from Palette Town. Prima may use only 5 pokemon and may not change pokemon. The Challenger May use 6 pokemon and can change at anytime. The Elite Member will choose first" said the ref

"I hope that you have improved since the lat time we battled Ash" said Prima

"Yes, Prima I have."

"Good Luck to you Ash. Dewgong, I choose you" said Prima

"Let's go Bulbasaur" said Ash

The pokemon battled until Bulbasaur let loose a Solar Beam that knocked out Dewgong

"Dewgong is unable to continue, Bulbasaur wins" said the ref.

"Good Job Dewgong, you deserve a nice long rest, Go Jinx" said Prima

"Bulbasaur return, Take a break, Go Pikachu!" said Ash

Jinx and Pikachu went at in, but in the end Jinx leveled Pikachu with a Lovely Kiss/Psychic combo

"Pikachu is unable to continue, Jinx Wins" the ref called

Ash went over and picked up Pikachu and gave him to Brock" You did a good job Pikachu, take a nice long rest" said Ash "Now Go Tauros

Tarros and Jinx went at it, but Tauros was no match for the Psychic attacks ""Tauros us unable to continue, Jinx Wins" said the ref

"Tauros return, you deserve a nice long rest, go Snorlax" said Ash

Snorlax didn't have a hard time taking down Jinx with a hyper Beam

"Jinx is unable to battle, Snorlax wins" said the ref.

"Jinx return, you did a good job, now go Cloyster" said Prima

The battle raged on but Snorlax did not have much luck defecting Cloyster, and after an Ice Beam, Snorlax went down

"Snorlax is unable to continue, Cloyster wins" the ref said.

"Snorlax return, take a nice long nap, Go Corphish" said Ash

Corphish and Cloyster went at it, but thanks to Snorlax, Cloyster was weekend and Corphish managed to squeak by Cloyster

"Cloyster is unable to continue, Corphish wins" said the ref. Then Corphish stated to glow and it evolved into a Crawdaunt.

"Wow you evolved Crawdaunt, you ready for 1 more round" said Ash

"craw-daunt craw" said Crawdaunt

"Cloyster return, you deserve a nice long rest, go Slowbro" said Prima

Since psychic attacks are useless ageist a dark type Prima used all water based attacks to wittle down Crawdaunt, but in the end Crawdaunt unleashed its newest move Crunch, while Slowbro hit it with a head butt that knocked both pokemon out

"Both Crawdaunt and Slowbro are unable to continue" said the ref

both trainers recalled there pokemon

"Lapras I choose you." said Prima

"Go Bayleaf" said Ash

Bayleaf was no match for Prima's high level Lapras and fell quickly

"Bayleaf is unable to continue, Lapras wins" said the ref

"Bayleaf return, you deserve a nice long rest. Bulbasaur I choose you" said Ash

"Bulbasaur held it's own with Lapras, but it still had damage done to it, and after a nasty Blizzard attack, Bulbasaur fell down, and struggled to get up

"Bulbasaur, are you O.K." said Ash

"Bulba-Bulba-Saurrrrrrr" said Bulbasaur as it's bulb glowed and it evolved into an Ivysaur. Then just as Ivysaur took shape it continued to evolve into a Venusaur

"Wow, it is rare that a pokemon skips a second stage like that" said Prof Oak from the stands. sitting right beside him was Misty

"Bulbasaur chose not to evolve when it was in the mysterious garden a long time ago, it was at a high enough level to do that" said Misty

Venusaur made short work out of Lapras with it's newest attack Frenzy Plant

"Lapras is unable to continue, Venusaur wins and the winner of the match is Ash Ketchum" said the ref

The crowd erupted as Ash and Prima shook ands "Good job Ash, I haven't had a battle like that for some time. I see that you learned a lot since the last time we met." said Prima

"Your teaching helped a lot." said Ash

"Good luck in the next round and good luck with your upcoming marriage." said Prima

Ash got an hour to rest and to choose his next 6 pokemon. Bruno, the next member of the elite 4 has chosen 2 Onix, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, and Machamp. Ash has chosen Noctowl, Kingler, Totodile, Swellow, Lapras, and Primeape

Ash and Bruno are on the field and shake hands" This Elite 4 challenge battle will now begin,

Bruno may only use 5 pokemon and may not Change pokemon while the challenger Ash Ketchum from Palette Town may use 6 and change pokemon at will. Lat the battle Begin

"Go Onix" said Bruno

"Totodile, I choose you" said Ash

Onix made short work out of Totodile making it faint with one hit

"Totodile is unable to continue, Onix wins" said the ref

"Totodile return, you deserve a long rest. That was a squash, so let's go Kingler" said Ash

the next battle is more completive, and Kingler used a crabhammer to knock out Onix

"Onix is unable to continue, Kingler wins" said the ref.

"Onix return. You did a good job, go Hitmonchan" said Bruno

"Kingler return, you deserve a long rest, go Primeape" said Ash

The fighting pokemon went at it tooth and nail, nether giving an inch, and in the end they knocked each other out with a mach punch

"Both Hitmonchan and Primeape is unable to continue" said the ref

"Hitmonchan return, go Hitmonlee" said Bruno

"Primeape return you deserve a long rest, Swellow I choose you" said Ash

The pokemon went at it, but Swellow's speed was to much for Hitmonlee as it hit it with an Arial Ace

"Hitmonlee is unable to continue, Swellow wins" said the ref

"Hitmonlee Return, you deserve a nice long rest" said Bruno "Now Onix, I choose you"

Onix came out of it's pokeball took one look at Swellow and evolved into a Steelix

"Swellow return, you deserve a long rest. go Kingler" said Ash

Kingler came out, and did some damage to Steelix but got knocked out.

"Kingler return, you did what I needed, thank you, Go Lapras" said Ash

Lapras comes out of its pokeball and goes to work taking down Steelix; finally it uses a sing attack followed up with hydro pump to finish Steelix

"Steelix is unable to continue, Lapras wins" said the ref

"Steelix return, take a deserved rest, now Machamp I choose you." said Bruno.

"Are you up for this Lapras?" asked Ash

"Lap-ras Lapras" said Lapras

"OK then lets go" said Ash

Lapras already tired with it's battle with Steelix did it's best to take out Machamp, but it was overcome with an Earthquake attack.

"Lapras is unable to continue, Machamp wins" said the ref.

"Lapras return, take a nice long rest, now Swellow I choose you" said Ash

Swellow and Machamp battled, while using Aerial Ace, Machamp got a lucky mega Punch in to knock out Swellow

"Swellow is unable to continue, Machamp wins." said the ref

"Swellow return, you did what you needed to, now let's go Noctowl." said Ash

Noctowl used it's Flying and Psychic attacks on a very tired Machamp, finally fainting it with it's confusion attack.

"Machamp is unable to continue, Noctowl wins and the winner of this match is Ash Ketchum!" said the ref

Bruno congratulates Ash, and Ash makes his way to the locker room to pick up his pokemon and take them to the Pokemon center for treatment. After Nurse Joy heals his pokemon, they go to a field and let all there pokemon out of there pokeballs to play and relax. Venusaur and Squirtle start to play tag, but, Venusaur accidentally tramples on it's good friend Squirtle. Venusaur forgot that it is much bigger than Squirtle since it evolved. Squirtle is very upset at Venusaur for doing this and they get into a fight. "Knock it off you two, Squirtle, it was an accident, Venusaur did not mean to hurt you, and Venusaur you will have to be more careful, you are much bigger now that you evolved." said Ash

The two pokemon made up and went back to playing with each other, but then suddenly, Squirtle started to glow and it evolved into a Wartortle. The gang looked at the newly evolved pokemon

"Wow you evolved just to play?" said Ash

"I don't think so Ash." said Brock "Wartortle felt jealous that Venusaur evolved and decided that it was time to do the same. You know that it could have evolved at any time these past few years, but it wanted to be a Squirtle to lead the Squirtle squad. It also evolved because you have your biggest battle ever coming up, and it wants to be on the team."

"I see, I already know 5 of the 6 pokemon that I will be using for my battle with Lance if I get past Agatha. I will be using Pikachu, Pidgeot, Wartortle, Charizard, and Venusaur." said Ash

"Your original 5 pokemon, who is going to be your 6th one?" asked Brock

"I'm not sure, I know that lance likes dragon types, so I was thinking about Glalie or Lapras for the Ice moves, but was also thinking of either Herocross, Muk, or Snorlax for pure power" said Ash

"The one I wish that I could have has would be Butterfree. I know Metpod would try it's best, but it isn't strong enough yet." said Ash

The gang gets back to the condo that they were staying at, and everybody decided to go to bed so that they could be well rested. Ash and May are sharing a bed. It is kid of warm in the room so Ash opens a window. They both go to bed and they cuddle up with each other, as Pikachu curls up at there feet. During the night 2 bug Pokemon come in. Pikachu pokes it's head up "Pika?" said Pikachu and looks over

The other two pokemon tell Pikachu to go back to sleep, and they will see him tomorrow.

The next day May wakes up and lets out a yell when she sees the 2 bug pokemon. Ash wakes up startled "What the hell are those 2 pokemon doing in our room?" said May

Brock and Max come barging into the room" What's wrong?" asked Brock

"There are 2 Bug pokemon that came in last night, look over there." May said pointing at the pokemon

"There were 2 Butterfree one was a pink one and the other was a regular one with a yellow ribbon tied around it. "It's Butterfree!" said Ash "It's really good to see you."

"Freeee Freeee" said Butterfree

"Who's that pokemon?" said May

"It's Ash's Butterfree. It was the first pokemon that Ash caught." said Brock

"What about that Pink one.?" asked Max

Brock and Ash explained the story about how Ash released Butterfree to go mate, and how it was in love with the pink one

"Why are you here?" asked Ash

Butterfree explained that it saw Ash battling the elite 4 on somebody's T.V. and thought Ash may want it's help

"Defently. I already Know 5 of my pokemon that I will use in the final battle, so now I know what the 6th one will be, you Butterfree." said Ash

"Wow, who would have thought all those years ago that Ash would be facing the elite 4 with his original pokemon." said Brock

Ash managed to take out Agatha in the next battle by the skin of his teeth, making him unsure if he could take on Lance.

"This is it Ash, all your dreams are going to come true, one battle away from being a Pokemaster." said Brock

"I know Brock, but really no one has been able to beat lance in the last 10 years. No one has become a Pokemon master since Lance became one." said Ash

"Ash, I have known you since you were a rookie pokemon trainer, I was the first gym leader that you beat, you have grown so much since then, I know you can win. your pokemon will go though hell for you. You have the 6 pokemon that you started with. there is no way that Lance can beat you. Stay cool, calm and collected and you will find a way to win" Brock said.

"Thank you Brock." said Ash "It's not very often that you have 2 Dragonairs, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Kingdra and Dragonite that you will be battling."

They make there way to the Arena and Ash looks into the crowd where many of his friends and rivals are sitting, His mom, Gary, Prof. Oak, Tracy, Misty, Todd, Richie, Harrison, and countless other are on hand to witness his greatest battle ever. He is going to take on Lance, the supreme Pokemon Master.

"This final battle will be between the Elite 4 champion Lance and Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. This is a full 6 on 6 battle with no time limit. Only the challenger may switch Pokemon. When the challenger looses 3 pokemon there will be a 10 minute rest period. Let the Match begin

"Go Gyarados" said Lance

"Venusaur I choose you." said Ash

Venusaur and Gyarados go at it, with Venusaur barley knocking out Lance's Gyarados. Lance sends in Kingdra next and Ash sends out Butterfree. Kingdra beats Butterfree, but then Ash sends out Pidgeot to finish it off. Lance then sends out a Dragonair that takes out Pidgeot. Ash counters with Wartortle, witch knocks out Dragonair with it's newest attack Blizzard. After the win Wartortle evolves into a Blastoise. Blastoise manages to defeat the next Dragonair that Lance sends out. Ash recalls Blastoise and sends out Venusaur to try to deal with Aerodactyl. Venusaur witch was already tired got beat, but managed to deal out some punishment. Ash then sent Blastoise out, and It managed to knock out Aerodactyl as it went down. Lance sent out Dragonite while Ash sent out Charizard. The battle was furious but in the end Charizard went down. Ash finally sent out Pikachu. Try as it might, Pikachu just couldn't get the job done, and fell victim to a hyper beam. Pikachu somehow managed to get, but Ash knew that if Pikachu continued that Pikachu would get seriously hurt or worse.

"Pikachu return, that's enough." Said Ash

"Pika Pika chu chu Pikachu." Pikachu said shaking it's head no

"I know this is important, but it isn't worth getting hurt over, there will be another chance. Now come back."

Pikachu shook it's head no, Pikachu looked like it was going to fall over any minute.

"You are leaving me no choice Pikachu." said Ash as he reaches into his belt and pulled Pikachu's pokeball out. it had a little electric bolt on it "Pikachu Return as the red beam went out Pikachu dodged it.

"Pika Pika Chu Pika chu Pika" said Pikachu

"I know you think that you can beat Dragonite, but I love you to much to let you get hurt. Ref, I for..."

"PIKAAAAAAAAA!" Pikachu yelled as it started to glow and he evolved into a Raichu

"Rai Ria Chu Chu Raichu." said Raichu

"I didn't think a Pikachu could evolve without a thunderstone?" Said Prof Oak

"Years ago Pikachu was exposed to one. He actually slapped it away with it's tail." said Misty who was sitting next to Pro Oak

"That explains it. I didn't know that, Once a Pikachu is exposed to a thunderstone, It can choose to evolve right there or at a later time of it's choosing." said Prof Oak

"Ok Raichu looks like were back in the fight, Agility and follow it up with a double team." said Ash

The Dragonite got confused and tried to hit Raichu with Dragon Breaths. Eventually it connected, but barely and Raichu got away fast

"Raichu, that's it, we are going to use your speed, and quickness, hit and run. Hit and run. we are going to make that Dragonite chance you all around." said Ash

Dragonite could keep up with Pikachu, but It couldn't keep up with Raichu. Raichu kept the speed on as it hit Dragonite with Iron Tails and thunderbolts. Finally Dragonite let loose a Hyper beam that connected and though Raichu up into the air and It managed to land right on Dragonite's back

"O.K. Raichu FULL POWER THUNDER! "Said yelled as Raichu let loose a thunder attack that knocked out all the power in the stadium. Raichu backed away from Dragonite, but It got up, barely. "Thunder one more time." said Ash and the attack blew out hundreds of light bulbs on the stadium lighting and finally Dragonite went down for good!

"Dragonite is unable to continue, Raichu wins, and the winner of the match, and NEW Elite 4 champion Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town." the ref said as the stadium erupted. May ran up to

Ash an laid a big kiss on him "You did it Ash!" said May

"I can't believe it, I won." said Ash who was shocked that he won.

Many people came down to congratulate Ash. After things calmed down Ash was taken to a stage where Mr. Goodshow came out. "Ladies and gentlemen today we witnessed the greatest battle in pokemon history. It is my great honor to present Ash Ketchum with the Elite 4 trophy, and as chairman of the pokemon league to recognize him as a Pokemon Master!"

After the ceremony Mr. Goodshow offered Ash a position in the pokemon league. His position was flexible enough to allow him to travel as he wanted to, or he could be close to home. The position was to hold training seminars and lectures on Pokemon, to pass on his knowledge to the next generation. May and Ash decided to wait to get married till after the Baby was born.

3 months later...

Ash is running around the house to collect items for a trip to the hospital. He was panicking, because May was in labor. Eventually Ash calmed down and got May to the hospital. They got May into the delivery room, and contractions started. after 10 hours of labor and contractions May gave birth to a baby girl. They named her Ashley Delia Ketchum. 2 months after the birth of Ashley, Ash and May got married at a big ceremony at Prof Oak's lab. Many of there friends and family were on hand for the ceremony, Caroline and Norman came and made up with May.

10 years later

We see a beginning trainer go up to Oak's lab, to receive her first pokemon. Ash and May are walking behind there daughter Ashley. Ashley gets to the lab where Prof Gary Oak has 4 pokeballs. A Charmader, Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Pichu. This Pichu is special it is the offspring of Ash's Raichu. Ashley picks the Pichu. The picks up the ball and lets out her new Pichu. She picks it up to give it a hug, but it uses it's Thundershock attack to shock her. Ash and Raichu laugh at the sight. "The more things change, the more they stay the same." Ash said
