ASH vs BARRY

"Ladies and Gentlemen, are you ready for the Twinleaf Festival Battle Tournament?" Johanna energetically asked the crowd as she spun around with her blue gown. The crowd yelled excitedly, eager to see the tournament begin. "The winner of this tournament will have the privilege to battle one of Sinnoh's Frontier Brain, give it up to the Tower Tycoon, Palmer." With that introduction, Palmer appeared in front of the crowd which caused an uproar of cheers.

Johanna, sensing the crowd's eagerness, decided to start the tournament. "So without further a do, let's begin the first match." The crowd cheer loudly at that.

"First in the blue corner, a trainer native to this land and also the son of our guest, Barry." With that introduction Barry appeared, waving at the cheering crowd. "His opponents, coming all the way from Pallet Town in Kanto, please give it up to the pride of Pallet Town, Ash Ketchum." With the introduction, Ash appeared in his corner, causing the girls watching the battle to squeal at the handsome trainer. Even Ash's friend were shocked, he was more handsome with that white scarf around his neck, which emphasize his dark hair.

Delia and Professor Oak on the other hand gawk at Ash. With the addition of that white scarf, he looked exactly like his father at his age.

"What's with the scarf?" Barry asked annoyingly after hearing the loud squeal of the girls in the crowd. How could Ash attract so much attention from the ladies by merely changing his cloths?

"Why? You like!" Ash asked teasingly as he took a Poke ball from his pocket.

"Dream on." Barry replied annoyingly as he threw his Poke ball in the air. "Let's go, Empoleon." With a flash, Barry's Empoleon appear, ready for battle.

"I choose you, Snorlax." Ash yelled as he threw is Poke ball. With a white flash, Ash's Snorlax appeared, barely awake but ready for battle.

"You have a Snorlax, since when?" Barry asked looking at the Sleeping Pokémon with interest.

"None of your business my friend." Ash answered which irate Barry. "Five moves, I'll bet you in five moves." Ash declared as he looked at the field with a psychotic smile, scaring his Barry, his friends, and the crowd in the process.

"Oh shit, here we go again." Brock mumbled under his breath.

Barry shrugged of the fear that he was feeling before glaring at Ash." Five moves huh, let see about that. Empoleon, let's start this with a quick Drill Peck." Barry ordered. Empoleon's beak and crown glowed before spinning like a drill and charge towards Snorlax.

"What an idiot, Snorlax, wait until that bird is close to you before delivering an Ice Punch on the ground." Ash commanded. Snorlax grin at that, its show time. As Empoleon's attack was mere inches away from him, Snorlax's slammed his icy fist to the ground, creating a pillar of ice, trapping Empoleon's beck on it, halting the Drill Peck in the process. Barry was shock as he watched his Empoleon struugle to get free from the pillar of ice.

Ash would not let that happen. "Snorlax, Hyper Beam." Snorlax opened his mouth before letting lose a powerful orange beam towards the vulnerable Empoleon. The ice pillar shattered as Empoleon was push back by the powerful Hyper Beam and finally crash to the ground were an explosion followed.

"Empoleon, are you okay?" Barry asked worriedly at his starter. That Hyper Beam was very powerful. As the dust disappeared, Barry let out a sigh of relief; his Empoleon was still standing, barely standing. "Empoleon let's capitalize, Hydro Pump now." Barry ordered with confidence knowing that Snorlax needs to recharge after that move.

"Pikachu I take it back, his not an idiot." Ash said to his faithful partner who was watching the battle on his shoulder.

"(I know, his just an imbecile)." Pikachu stated with a grin.

As Empoleon blast a powerful jet of water towards Snorlax, Ash made his move. "Snorlax, Roll-out to dodge, and get close to him." Ash commanded. Much to everyone's shock, Snorlax curled itself into a all and rolled rapidly to dodge the incoming jet of water.

"How is that possible? Your Snorlax didn't stop and recharge." Barry exclaimed in shock.

"See Pikachu, the power of being an imbecile never cease to amaze me." Ash said as he converse with Pikachu. Pikachu replied by nodding.

Barry gritted his teeth, hearing that insult." Empoleon, continue blasting that Snorlax with Hydro Pump." Barry ordered in frustration.

Ash smirked. "Snorlax dance around the little penguin for me." Snorlax did as he was commanded and dodge every blast of Hydro Pump that was headed his way.

Barry watched in frustration as his Empoleon's attacks were dodged skillfully and gracefully. "This is not going anywhere, Empoleon Hydro Cannon." Barry ordered in frustration. Empoleon, feeling a bit drowsy of its constant attacking, launch a compress ball of water towards Snorlax.

"Like I say, an imbecile to the end." Ahs whispered with a grin. "Snorlax, dodge the Hydro Cannon by rolling low and dive to give that Emperor a royal Focus Punch, upper cut style." Snorlax did what he was told and rolled his body under the compress ball of water before diving towards Empoleon and giving the Emperor Pokémon a strong punch of the beak, causing it to be propel upwards.

"EMPOLEON." Barry yelled as he helplessly watched his Pokémon helplessly.

"Grab a hold of Empoleon and used Headbutt then follow it up with Body Slam." Ash commanded with a homicidal grin. Snorlax then grab the slowly descending Empoleon before giving it a thundering Headbutt sending it to the ground with a thud, before it smashed himself towards the Emperor Pokémon, crashing it beneath him.

Snorlax, feeling that his opponent was no longer a threat stood up and gazed at his fallen opponent.

"What did I say, five moves." Ash stated simply as he grin maniacally at Barry.

"Empoleon is no longer able to battle; this match goes to Ash and Snorlax." The referee announced.

Ash's friend and the crowd was amaze, the match did not just end in five moves but it also end at forty- seconds. That was the fastest battle they have ever witness.
