Chapter 122 - Indigo League; Cynthia vs Paul [Starting]

The fifth and fate deciding match between Lisa and Lilith ended with Lilith having 2 points in her hand.

Ash was very pleased with the result. Now his place in the semi-finals was confirmed. Ash won't have to use his Grandpa's help to get in the semi-finals.

.

[Ladies and Gentlemen, the fifth match between Lisa and Lilith has officially ended. With the fifth match ending, this round officially ends with 4 participants moving to the semi-finals. I am sure you all know who have managed to enter the semi-finals.] In the screen 4 cards appeared. Each card had a image. Under the trainers name, the number of points earned by each trainer was also shown.

.

[Cynthia, Paul, Itsuki and Ash. They are the strongest trainers in this year's Indigo League. The semi-finals will have two 2 battles and 6 Pokémon battle. The winners of these two battles will go to finals. This round will also be point based to find the top 10 strongest Trainers in the whole Indigo League.] The 4 cards began shuffle themselves at super fast pace.

.

After an entire minute of shuffling, the 4 cards finally stopped moving in pairs.

[We have it. Our first match in the Semi-finals will be between two perfect scorers Cynthia and Paul.

The second match will be between Ash and Paul.] Itsuki and Cynthia both looked at each other in surprise.

.

While Ash, Misty and Oak three of them was surprised. Ash looked at the serum in his hand with a cold smile.

"I was wondering when I would get my chance of facing him. I won't make the same mistakes as Gary. Grandpa can you give me a few more energy boosters?"

Oak shook his head and replied. "No I can't. The herbs that I used to make this serum is rare and very expensive. Although I have few more bottles left, I can't give it to you."

.

Ash frowned. "Why?"

"If you Pokémon were to gain sudden boost in powers then it would definitely make Kanto Association suspicious. One is enough. Using the serum on multiple Pokémon would definitely become a suspicious thing." Ash suddenly went into deep thinking. Ash began to think about Zeraora who was able to beat a mid 5th order Incineroar.

.

"Grandpa, Zeraora was able to beat Incineroar who was Mid 5th order. Even though Incineroar was injured that doesn't mean he would lose to a Peak 4th order. Do you think Itsuki also have used this serum?"

Oak shook his head with a helpless smile.

"No. I recently created this serum and I haven't shared the formula with anyone. No one beside me can create the serum. What I believe is, Itsuki have created a new move. A move that uses lightning to strengthen the user speed, strength and defense. The flash steps moves have allowed Zeraora to overcome that big difference in levels and defeat Incineroar."

.

"But Grandpa to use lightning constantly Zeraora must use huge amount of her energy. It should have made her exhausted but she didn't looked exhausted in that fight."

"Ash there is a reason why Zeraora is called a Mythical Pokémon. You cannot measure a Mythical Pokémon with normal means. Mythical Pokémon are on a class of their own. In Zeraora's case the lightning is her main powers. Now enough talking you should go and prepare for your battle."

.

Scene change.....

"Guess I will be going first. Itsuki I will wait fkr you at the finals." Cynthia stood up to leave.

"Cynthia don't underestimate Paul. He is a tough one." Cynthia nodded her with a small smile. Cynthia was excited to finally fight someone strong.

Watching Cynthia leave, Shizuka and Carolina felt very proud.

.

[Ladies and Gentlemen, the first match of the semi-finals will be between Cynthia and Paul. The interesting thing is that both Cynthia and Paul are from Sinnoh region and both of them have perfect 16 points.]

[Till now Both Cynthia and Paul have destroyed their opponents. In this whole tournament, both Paul and Cynthia's Pokémon have remained undefeatable. This itself is a huge record.]

.

Paul and Cynthia walked towards the battlefield with only one goal in mind and that is to win. Both Paul and Cynthia wanted an exciting battle.

Both Cynthia and Paul wanted to go all out and unleash their full powers. Neither Paul nor Cynthia cared much about the crowd opinions.

.

"Battle begins"

Both Cynthia and Paul without saying words threw their Pokémon.

[Cynthia has chosen her Milotic, a water type Pokémon. Milotic lives in the deepest of lakes. Milotic has the ability to calm rage and strife among people.]

Its body is predominantly cream in color, while its fanlike tail comes in various shades (particularly of blue and magenta), that change upon the viewing angle.

"Milotic start the battle with Water Pulse."

"Weavile dodge."

Milotic fired a blue water sphere towards her opponent to which Weavile dodged and kept closing the distance.

Cynthia noticing that Paul is trying to close the distance, she ordered Milotic to use double team.

.

Weavile stopped charging towards Milotic when mlre than hundreds of Milotic appeared on the battlefield, surrounding Weavile from all sides.

"Now use hydro pump"

All the Milotic opened their mouths to fire and was about to launch their attacks.

"Weavile wait for it." When Milotic launched her attack, water came from all sides leaving no room for dodging.

.

"Now jump up." Just when the hydro pump was about to hit Weavile, he jumped more than 1 meters above the ground and managed to dodge the attack.

Cynthia was little surprised as she was not expecting that. Nonetheless Weavile cannot stay on the air forever.

After a second, Weavile was being pulled by the gravity and was about to fall on the hydo pump attack.

.

Paul smirked. "Weavile use Ice punch on the hydro pump"

Weavile right fist glowed in blue light as his fist touched the water beneath him.

Under everyone's gazes, the ice punch managed to forze the water and made a safe landing for Weavile while Milotic was forced to stop her attack.

.

[What a strategic move by Paul. He did all this in matters of less than 3 seconds.]

Seeing that Paul has managed to counter her attacks, Cynthia didn't felt disappointed rather she felt even more excited.

"Weavile use quick attack and slash at the same time."

The ice beneath Weavile broke into pieces as the next second he disappeared from his place.

.

With both of his claws wrapped in white light and with his increased speed, Weavile appeared behind Milotic like a wind without her even noticing.

Just when Weavile was about to attack Milotic with his big claws, Milotic heard Cynthia's voice.

"Milotic use your dragon tail." But it was too late as Weavile already had attacked Milotic with his claws.

.

Paul relaxed thinking that he noe could easily defeat Milotic who now was injured and bleeding.

But what happened made Paul face turn ugly. Milotic suddenly got up from the ground as her tail shined in cyan light.

Milotic slammed her tail on Weavile who couldn't dodge the attack and was sent flying.

.

Boom!

Weavile was sent flying more than 10 meters away from Milotic.

[Ohhhh! What a counter by Milotic. She just stood up and attacked Weavile at a speed that Weavile was unable to dodge.]

Weavile quickly got up and was ready for his trainer's order.

.

"Weavile use Dark Pulse" A ball of purple rings of energy appears in front of Weavile's mouth. He then fired a beam of purple rings of energy at the Milotic from the ball.

"Counter it with Ice beam." A light blue ball formed in front of Milotic's mouth. Then, multiple light blue or white beams was fired at the purple rings of energy.

Both of their attacks collided on the center of the battlefield.

Boom!
