The sun was shining beneath a battle field, as two rivals eyed each other.
The first one was a compassionate trainer, who cares for his Pokémons and treats them like family, and the other one was a trainer with a cold and dark heart, who only captures strong and ruthless Pokémon and disregard any one who he deems weak.
The later having an advantage in this battle.
"Monferno, is no longer able to battle, this round goes to Paul and his Electabuzz." The referee declared.
Ash took a Poke-ball from his pocket and hurriedly recalls his newly evolved Monferno. 'You did a good job and congrats on evolving." Ash said compassionately.
"This is not going well for Ash." Dawn concluded worriedly.
Ash had only one Pokémon left and that was his Pikachu while Paul had four more Pokémon, only losing his Weavile and his Honchkrow.
"Yeah, this is the first time I have ever seen Ash lose like this." Brock said in concerned.
"But you guys got to give it to my brother, his strategy is top notch." Reggie said, proud of his brother's performance in this battle.
"Yeah, I give him that." Dawn shrieked sarcastically.
"Dawn, enough Reggie is right. Paul is exceptional today." Brock said although begrudgingly.
"So this is all you got to give Ash, so much for caring for your Pokémon, huh Ash." Paul mocked, while grinning like a psychopath.
"Shut it Paul and it's not over yet." Ash said while gritting his teeth in frustration.
"You are so optimistic, Ash. Look at you, you only have that rodent left and I have four more Pokémons that could tear that rodent apart. The only problem that I have is to choose who among my remaining Pokémons will destroy that rat." Paul said confidently.
"(Hey Ash, could we use the Dark Spark now. I so want to hurt him)." Pikachu growled.
"As much as I want to Pikachu, I can't. I want to beat Paul as much as you but his Pokémons don't deserve that much punishment." Ash said shivering in the thought of Paul's Pokémon suffering from powerful black and uncontrolled streak of lightning.
"(Your too soft Ash but I can't activate that power without your command so please reconsider)." Pikachu said jumping towards the field.
"So you want this battle to end quickly huh, fine. Electabuzz, use Brick Break." Electabuzz charged towards Pikachu, his hand letting out sparks of electricity.
He then brought that his hand in a form of a Karate Chop towards Pikachu
"Pikachu, counter with Iron Tail." Pikachu's tail glowed white and swung it towards Electabuzz hand. Cloud of dust flown in the air as both attack fight for dominance.

Behind a bush three idiots (it a little harsh but true) were watching the battle with interest.
"Hey Jess, it seem that the twerp is losing." James mused.
"Yeah James, this is the first time that I saw the twerp get his ass handed to him like this." Jessie commented.
"Who cares if the twerp loses? After this battle his Pikachu would be weaken and we could swipe it easily." Meowth said evilly as he laughed. Jessie and James seemed to agree because they began laughing stupidly. (Man this three needs a hobby or better yet a life)
(Scene Change)
Behind a tree, not far too where Brock and Dawn were watching the battle, a white haired lady with a pure white Lucario by her side were also watching the battle with a worried expression.
Koyuki was a bit unnerved, she knew how powerful her 'father' and her' uncle is individually but there was one little problem. Her 'father' was a human thus not able to battle and her 'uncle' still had not master that ability of his.
She also knew that her 'father' would not use an ability that would unintentionally injured a Pokémon, no matter how much of a stuck up jerk there trainer is.
She also cursed her 'father's' other Pokémons, she knew that her 'father' was not that strict about training his Pokémons and was very compassionate about training them and they repair him by slacking off. With her ability off reading Aura thought to her by her 'father; she could tell that those five that her 'father' use in this battle was weak, not because of her 'father's' training but because they slack off on their personal training.
She would meet those five and she will personally teach them a harsh lesson. Elena on the other hand was bit unnerve.
The opponent of her beloved was strong but she knew that Pikachu could take any of his Pokémon out without using the Dark Spark ability and Ash was a tactical genius, together they could end this easily but it seems that she was wrong to an extent.
She could tell after her beloved loss his third Pokémon that he was not battling seriously, she knew that Ash never battle with everything he has no matter what Pokémon his using but this battle was different.
He was not battling like his usual limited state, he was trying to do something, trying to achieve something and she suspected what it is.
He was trying to see and to determine why this trainer was a tyrant, why this trainer was cold hearted, and why this trainer was so harsh.
Ash was trying to understand him even risking this battle, risking his pride. It was very admirable but she knew that understanding this trainer was not worth it.
She was better in understanding and in reading people than her beloved is.
With one glance and while watching this battle, she could already tell that this Paul guy is nothing but a cold hearted and vain person.
He was a cruel person that doesn't care about anything but himself and what Ash was trying to achieve was pointless. She just wished that her Ash could figure that out and give this guy a well deserved beating.
"Come on Ash, I know you and Pikachu could beat this guy. So please stop your hesitating and battle for real, battle with everything you have for the first time." Elena said quietly.
"('Mother', why is father not battling seriously)?" Koyuki asked.
"You know how much of a tactician genius your father is. Only few Pokémon namely you, his Pikachu, his Charizard, his Snorlax, and his Sceptile could follow his orders and his unbelievable strategy. If he went all out, you and I both know that his other Pokémons could not follow that level of strategy and they would end up injuring themselves." Elena explained.
"(Yeah, especially those five, they don't deserve to be father's Pokémon, they are weak)." Koyuki said in disgust.
"Koyuki, you know how much Ash love his Pokémons and that intensify when he became an Aura Prince because he could understand them better. Ash will not push them in fear of them hating him." Elena explained to her 'daughter'.
Koyuki didn't respond and continued to watch the battle, wishing that she was the one who was battling that trainer.
Elena on the other hand, just wished that Ash would battle seriously for the first time in his life.
(Scene Change)
Pikachu went sliding down on the ground, the Brick Break managing to push him back.
"Electabuzz, now use Thunder." Electabuzz then unleashed a powerful beam of electricity towards Pikachu in a dangerous speed.
"Pikachu use Counter Shield." Ash shouted frantically. Pikachu began spinning on his back as blot of electricity surround him as the Thunder hit. The strong electric attack was deflected towards Electabuzz.
"Electabuzz, use Light Screen." Elactabuzz put his hands in front of him and a yellow glass was appeared around him. The Thunder attacks harmlessly bounce off the yellow glass.
'Light Screen again, that move had been annoying. I need to break before it bites me again.' Ash thought.
"Electabuzz, smash that rat with Thunder Punch." Electabuzz curled his hands into a fist and glowed bright yellow as electricity emits all over his fist. He then charge towards Pikachu
"I hope this works." Ash mumbled under his breath. "Pikachu, wait until Electabuzz is close enough and use Volt Tackle and Top it off with Iron Tail." Pikachu grin after hearing that order. His 'brother' may not be ready to use some of their most powerful special moves but at least he was willing to use some of the their special move, even though the attack was a bit weak it was better than nothing.
Pikachu watch as the giant Electric Pokémon charged at him, with his fist covered with electricity.
When the Electabuzz brought his fist down towards him, Pikachu quickly jumped in the air evading the Thunder Punch that shattered that ground bellow.
Pikachu's entire body was then covered with golden electricity and did a spin moved with his tail, which glowed white.
Pikachu instead of hitting Electabuzz, hit a yellow barrier that appeared out of nowhere. Pikachu manage to shatter the barrier but it was enough time for Electabuzz to dodge the attack and hit Pikachu with a Thunder Punch. Pikachu was thrown back a couple of feet away but was still able to land on his feet.
"That was good for someone as pathetic as you but this ends now, Electabuzz finish that rodent off with Thunder." Electabuzz once again fired a beam of powerful electricity towards Pikachu.
'Moferno thanks for weakening Electabuzz for Pikachu. This ends now.' Ash thought with a grin. "Pikachu absorb the attack and fire a Thunder of your own, do it for Moferno." Pikachu absorb the powerful electric attack without even flinching and after five seconds, he had the attack completely.
Pikachu then unleashed a powerful electric attack, three times the size of an ordinary Thunder attack and also five times stronger and five times faster.
Electabuzz didn't even have the time or the opportunity to dodge as the Thunder hit him directly. Even though Electabuzz is an Electric-type Pokémon, the Thunder attack had critically damage him, resulting for him to be knock-out.
"Electabuzz is unable to battle, this round go's to Pikachu and Ash Ketchum." The referee declared.
"Good Pikachu, that's one down three to go." Ash complimented his 'brother'. Pikachu merely gave Ash a smile and a thumps up.
"Electabuzz return, I'll deal with you later. You call yourself an Electirc-Pokémon, getting knock-out by just one Electric move, disgraceful." Paul said in disgust.
'I'm beginning to consider using the Dark Spark on him.' Ash thought angrily, seeing how Paul treated his Pokémons.
"Wow, I never saw Ash use that kind of strategy before." Dawn said in amazement. "But that's Ash and Pikachu for you, they could take down anyone they set their mind into."
"Dawn calm down, Ash still needs to beat three more of Paul's Pokémons and they are still fresh." Brock reminded which earned him a punch in the head.
"Brock, who's side are you on? Do you doubt Ash about winning this battle against, that, that, that, scumbag?" Dawn hiss waving her fist threateningly.
Before Brock could say anything that would earn him a punch from his female friend, Reggie join in the conversation and saving Brock's ass in the process.
"Relax Dawn, Brock only meant that Ash is still in a disadvantage. I'm sure that Brock doesn't doubt Ash's capability in winning this battle." Reggie explained calmly. Dawn seems to buy it because she sat down and continue on watching the battle.
"Thanks, Reggie." Brock groaned, rubbing the bump on his head.
"So you and that rat has some few tricks left, no matter the outcome is still inevitable." Paul said as he threw a Poke-ball towards the field. "Magmortar, stand by for battle." A large, humanoid Pokémon appeared in the field with a smug grin on its face.
