NO HOLDING BACK PT 2

"Hey is your Torterra still conscious Paul." Ash asked after the explosion subsided being replace by a cloud of smoke. "Or is it down for the count."

"Shut it. Torterra if you know what's good for you, you better still be conscious." Paul shouted with anger. A moment of silence was once again felt in the area as a breeze of wind pass by, blowing the cloud of smoke away thus revealing the two combatants. Pikachu had a smug grin on his face and was unharmed by the explosion of electricity, Torterra on the other hand was not that lucky. Torterra was covered with multiple scorch mark and was panting heavily because of the damage.

"Pikachu back away from Torterra and let it heal." Pikachu then jumped a coupled of meters away from Torterra.

"Torterra don't let that mouse get away." Paul ordered. Torterra was about to chasce Pikachu but stumbled and fell to the ground. "Torterra stand up now."

"YOU ARE A FOOL." Ash shouted getting Paul's attention. "Your Torterra is injured and it could not chase my Pikachu at his injured state. So do your Torterra a favour and heal him first before attacking." Ash lectured.

"DON'T TELL ME WHAT MY TORTERRA CAN'T DO. I DON'T NEED SOMEONE LIKE YOU TO WORRY ABOUT MY POKEMONS" Paul shouted back in outrage.

Ash began laughing like a manic after hearing what Paul said much to that aggravation of Paul and much to the fear of the spectators. "WHAT SO FUNNY?" Paul was now nearing his limits. He can't believe that in the verge of victory, he would suddenly lose like this against someone he thought was inferior to him.

"You think I care about your Pokémon. Do you think I would care for a Pokémon that his very own trainer doesn't give a shit about? Don't make me laugh you numb skull." Ash said between his laughs which further aggravates Paul. "I don't care what you do with your Pokemon now Paul. Whether they die or live in you own hands, I don't care anymore. I just want you to heal that giant turtle so he could at least put up a decent fight, I refuse to fight something that is in the verge of collapsing. That would remove the satisfaction of victory." Ash finished with a psychopathic grin on his face.

"That and I want to beat your Torterra at its strongest. So you better heal your Torterra up or else I would finish this with one attack, so hurry it up, chop chop Pauli." Ash said as he claps his hand to further mock him.

Paul was seething in anger, he didn't know what worst's, losing aginst this new Ash that appeared all of the sudden or being lectured by this nuances. But still, he could not change the fact that Ash was right, his Torterra needs healing in order to continue the battle.

"Torterra, use Synthesis." Paul growled. Torterra's entire body suddenly glowed white as the scorched mark disappears from its body and energy being reclaim.

"I see that you at least thought your Pokémon a healing move. Not what I expect from a tyrant like yourself. I would expect all of Torterra's moves are all attack but I see that I'm mistaken. Or maybe that moved is self thought because Torterra has some common sense unlike his egotistical trainer." Ash commented with a grin.

'I'm going to kill you.' Paul thought as he clutches his fist so tight that it was beginning to draw blood.

"Brock, is this really Ash?" Dawn asked in a low voice, feeling shivers running up her spin as she watched over what Ash had suddenly become.

"I have no idea Dawn. This is the first time that I ever seen Ash acts like this during a battle." Brock said, unnerve by the sudden change of his friend.

Reggie suddenly stood up and was heading towards where Paul was. That didn't go unnoticed by Brock.

"Hey Reggie, where are you going?" Brock asked.

"I'm going to my brother. I going to force him to forfeit this match." Reggie said hiding his eyes.

"Why? The battle isn't over and Paul's Torterra survive against that move Pikachu just use and it is healing itself. Paul may still have a chance." Brock said to Reggie as he stood up as well.

"You're wrong Brock, Paul doesn't have a chance. I don't know why but I have a feeling if I let this battle continue, Torterra would not be standing for a very long time. I need to stop this battle for the sake of both Torterra and Paul." Reggie said as he prepares to run towards his brother.

"Don't ruin my fun Reggie." Ash said as he looked towards Reggie with a glare.

Reggie then looked at directly at Ash's piercing brown eyes. Suddenly, as he continue to look at Ash's eye, he felt an earthquake happening in his mind, his entire body began shivering violently, and sweat was suddenly running down his head. He then fell to his knees, paralyze by an unknown reason. He suddenly heard a harsh and frightening voice in his mind.

'If you interfere I swear that you would regret it.'

"Hey Reggie, are you okay?" Brock asked worriedly as he watched Reggie fall to his knees.

"Yeah I'm fine." Reggie said as the feeling in his mind suddenly disappear.

"Are you sure? You were shivering all of the sudden." Brock commented as he helped Reggie on his feet.

"It's nothing; I think I'm just a bit dizzy." Reggie said as he walked towards where he use to sit.

'Strange,' Brock thought before following Reggie back to where Dawn is.

"Hey Pauli, are you done yet? I'm not growing any younger as I wait." Ash said looking at Paul right in the eyes.

"Yeah, I'm done." Paul said with a sneer. "Torterra, Stone Edge now." Torterra then began unleashing a fury of rocks towards Pikachu.

"Pikachu, Thunder Storm." Pikachu jumped in the air before unleashing thousands of lightning bolts towards the battle field. The lightning bolts smashed through the rocks, vaporizing the rocks in contact. The strict of lighting continue its way towards Torterra as Torterra brace itself. The lightning bolts slammed through Torterra and even though it was a duel of grass and Ground type, it scream in pain as strict of lightning continues to rain down on it. When the barrage of lightning was over, Torterra was once again covered with scorched mark but to a lesser extent.

"Well that was lame, Pikachu Volt Tackle on the tree branch below its back." Ash ordered as Pikachu was once covered by electricity and charged towards Torterra.

"Torterra, stand you're grown." Torterra, ignoring the pain it was feeling, brace itself and rooted its feet to the grown as Pikachu slammed his head to the tree that was growing on its back. Torterra screamed in pain as electricity travel through its body. "Now, Iron Tail." Pikachu then slammed his glowing white tail to Torterra's back which propelled Pikachu away from Torterra and for Torterra to fall face first to the ground.

"How did? Torterra's is part ground type, how could he be affected by and Electric attack." Paul asked in shock.

"You don't know, man you don't even know that simple fact." Ash said mockingly which earned him a glare form Paul.

"I'll explain so you could at least walk away from this battle with a piece of useful info. Every Pokémon has one certain weak point in their body; if that weak point is hit with an attack the damage would be double. If that weak spot is hit with an attack that would normally do half damage to that Pokémon, it would still inflict full damage if that weak spot is hit." Ash explained.

"Now your Torterra is a dual Grass and Ground type, both types resist electric type moves so normally electric type moves would not trouble Torterra. It's correct to an extent but if an electric attack hit that weak point on Torterra's body that attack would inflict half the damage that attack would normally inflict. The only reason why my Pikachu only inflict half the damage is that Torterra is a dual type Pokémon that naturally resists eclectic type moves, if Torterra is a grass type or just a ground type those attack that my Pikachu would use would inflict full damage." Ash said as he finished his explanations, oblivious to the fact that everyone was listening to his lecture..

"Hey Brock, did you knew that?" Dawn asked curiously.

"No, I do not." Brock said, awestruck about the information that Ash just shared.

"Wow, I never thought of Ash being so knowledgeable about Pokémon." Reggie stated.

"So that's why Torterra is damaged with that Electric attack." Paul said in realization.

"Yeah but I got to give Torterra some credit. That moved, Thunder Storm, usually could knock out a herd of Tauros with one attack but your Torterra had injured it and still be standing, I applaud that." Ash said as he clapped his hands.

Paul didn't know whether that was a insult or a compliment so he just glared at Ash and his Pikachu.

"Let's see if that rat could survive this, Torterra, Earthquake." Torterra rose up and slammed his feet to the ground, creating a massive earthquake all over the area.

"Pikachu, Magnetic Rise" Ash said his smile was gone from his face and was now looking at where Elena was watching the battle, were the ground was shaking because of the earthquake. 'That bastard,'Ash though venomously.

Pikachu was suddenly enveloped by a thin layer of electricity as he rise from the ground, avoiding the earthquake below him. Pikachu didn't know why but he felt Ash's aura become sinister all of the sudden. 'I got a feeling that this battle is going to be over in a hurry.'

"Now Hyper Beam." Torterra then shot a red beam of pure power towards Pikachu.

"Cut that Hyper Beam in half with Lightning Blade." Pikachu tail suddenly glowed emitted a concentrated amount of electricity to its tail in the shape of a sword. Pikachu then did a summersault which brought the blade of electricity towards the Hyper Beam, cutting the attack in half. The first half of the Hyper Beam hit the surface of Lake Acuity, causing an explosion of water, the other half of the attack on the other hand was headed towards...Ash.

"ASH, WATCH OUT." Brock and Dawn shouted together.
