Evolution line.....

The crowd, Ash's friends, and even their opponent gasped and waited in anticipation as Ash's Pikachu was surrounded by a dark light, they didn't even notice that Lance's Dragonite was driven to the ground by a very powerful Aura combo.

"(What am I, chop liver)?" Dragonite mumbled as he gazed at his trainer, who was still anticipating what would happen next. Truth be told, seeing that small powerhouse evolving was unnerving. It was like another power boost for an already powerful Pokémon. "(Garchomp, you superior little bitch, good luck to you, you're going to need all the luck in the world)." Dragonite mumbled as he felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Cynthia, what do you think is happening?" Lance asked in a curious tone as he gazed at the dark light that was slowly taking shape. He was feeling a bit nervous about that.

"The Dark Spark that Ash and Pikachu used wasn't a special technique but it was a special ability, an evolution of Pikachu's static ability, I think it was a state that allows Pikachu to control electricity in a quantum level, just like what Ash said." Cynthia mumbled as she clenched her fist in excitement. "But I think it wasn't yet complete and Ash was gambling to finish this battleoff with an incomplete technique, which backfired against me and Garchomp. I think the last move that I used allowed Ash to complete the ability." Cynthia stated, excited in what would happen and Garchomp was the same as well as she prepared for the worst.

"You guys haven't fought like this ever since Sarah retired." Lance commented wearily. That expression on her face was the same expression she wore when she and Sarah were still rivals.

"You know, when Sarah retired, I thought nobody could battle me in an equal footing anymore but it looks like I'm wrong." Cynthia whispered as she eyed Ash, who was waiting and expecting for the worst. "Finally, after years of waiting, somebody could challenge me again." Cynthia stated in a very excited tone.

"Yeah, that's good," Lance commented with a chuckle. "You've been a handful for the four of us ever since Sarah retired as an active trainer." Lance stated as they eyed the slowly evolving Pikachu.

(With the group)

"Goddamn, of all the times to forget my camera, why today." Sarah mumbled as she gazed at the dark light that enveloped Ash's Pikachu. "This would have been an interesting research." Sarah commented silently.

"I can't believe it; Ash just discovered another evolution line for the Pikachu's specie." Professor Oak said in awe as they waited for the light to die down.

"I wonder if Cynthia could survive this." Sarah mumbled, knowing full well that even if Cynthia was the superior trainer, Ash's innovation in this battle may make a difference. "I wonder if I could battle Ash and this Pokémon after Cynthia is done with him." Sarah whispered as she shook in excitement. Her excitement for battle was slowly overtaking her. "This feeling, I haven't felt this feeling since that time." Sarah exclaimed as her lust for battle slowly overtook her.

"I want a shot with him," Sarah whispered, tightening her gripped on her Poke ball. "In more ways than one," Sarah then licked her lips in anticipation.

(Back to battle)

"Ash, I don't like this," Elena stated as she gazed at her lover's Pikachu. "The evolution process is taking too long." Elena exclaimed, adding to her discomfort.

"I know but the Aura Pikachu is emitting is stable, nothing to worry about." Ash said as he conjured a shard of Aura Crystal. "Tell Koyuki to back away for a bit and also tell her to put up a barrier between her and whatever Pikachu would evolve in and also trapped Dragonite in a barrier as well." Ash said as Elena shook her head.

"It's that bad huh," Elena said as she gave the order.

"For them anyways, for me, this would be a cakewalk." Ash said as the light died down. Ash chuckled merrily when he heard a loud, earth shattering, bone curling roar echoed in the arena. The crowd gasped as the dark light died down; they gazed and gasped at the sight of the newly evolved, pitch black Pokémon that was sneering at everyone there.

"Wait a minute, that's a….." Elena was interrupted when the Pokémon once again let loose a loud roar, black electricity exploding from its body.

The Pokémon was like a pitch black werewolf, Anubis hybrid. It stood in an intimidating height of seven-feet. His upper body was bulky and was covered in black fur; its head was like the head of an Anubis with a jewel on its forehead, and its legs were also bulky and were covered by crimson writings, writings that Elena understood. Unlike his upper body, its legs weren't covered with fur, showing of its bulky, pitch black legs. The Pokémon has an anthropomorphic build, allowing it to stand upright. His upper-body was covered with crimson writings that formed an X-like pattern across his entire upper-body. Its entire left hand was covered with a silver gauntlet that goes halfway across his left arm, highlighting its claw and its right hand on the other, or should I say his entire right arm was a gruesome sword. The sword was pitched black and reaches all the way to the ground, the sword looks like a crescent lightning bolt and was connected by a chain that was wrapped around its right shoulder.

"Ash," Elena mumbled as Ash gazed at his beloved.

"Yes loved," Ash said in curiosity.

"That's an ancient Pokémon, it's named is Voltranuc" Elena stated at the sight of the supposed extinct Pokémon.

"Knight of Lightning huh," Ash mumbled in a rather impress tone.

"Not a knight Ash, an emperor, the emperor of lightning and darkness." Elena stated as the Pokémons now known as Voltranuc bare its fangs to Garchomp as it raise his sword over his head. The sword was emitting black electricity before Voltranuc swung it down, sending a wave of electricity towards Garchomp. Garchomp, seeing the attack, raised her arms, both of which were glowing bright purple, and slammed it over the wave of black electricity, bad moved. The attack over powered her and sending an electric shock all throughout her body. The feeling was both quite painful and exhilarating experience for Garchomp.

Voltranuc roared once again as it charged towards the still shocked Garchomp, its blade glowing with black energy, and this time, it was not black electricity. Garchomp was able to caught the blade, stopping the attack but that little move was to no avail as when the sword made contact with Garchomp, an explosion of dark energy propelled Garchomp a couple of feet away from the behemoth.
