1 Battle at Amity Square

In a stadium filled with people, two people are facing against each other with each of their respective pokemon out in front of them.

"Alight trainers and fan. This is it, the bout we all waited for is finally here.

Will Cynthia, Champion of the Sinnoh League win?" said the announcer as the camera zoomed in toward a woman.

She has long, wavy, creamy blonde hair and gray eyes, a long black coat with a V neck and black fur trimming the cuffs and running down the end of the coat and a large teardrop-shaped ornament on the center of the coat and black straight leg trousers with black kitten heels.

For accessories, she wore a large, black feathery ruff around her neck with 2 hair clips in her hair, both resembling two teardrop-shaped objects.

In front of her is Garchomp, the pokemon she best knows for as her most powerful.

Garchomp is a bipedal shark-like Pokemon colored mostly red and dark blue. On its head, it possesses two horn-like appendages and a star-like yellow mark on its snout. Its arms have one claw each, and triangular fins emerge from its elbows and back.

"Or will Lucian of the Elite Four?"

This time the camera focus on a man in a full red suit with a black undershirt, white handkerchief, and black shoes.

He has wavy blue that goes down to his shoulder and to final off his look, he has a blue sunglasses.

With him is his Bronzong, which is a large Pokémon resembling a blue-green bell with two arms coming out of its sides. It has a hollow body and a yoke attached at the top.

Bronzong has two round, red eyes with blue-green irises and a rectangular mouth with one visible row of square teeth. It has several darker, rectangular markings on its body.

"Bronzong, use Flash Cannon."

With its trainer command, Bronzong flipped and aim it bottom at Cynthia's Garchomp. It's then starting to gather sliver energy inside its hollow body.

With the energy charge up, Bronzong releases it, firing a silver beam toward Garchomp.

Garchomp crosses its arms in front it faces as the attack hit its mark in a Boom! kicking a cloud of black smoke that begins to cover the arena, obscuring the audience's view to see what going on.

"Flash Cannon managed to score a direct hit, complete with tons of manga power. Is it all over for Garchomp!" the announcer yell, hyping it up for all the people watching the match.

In a Pokémon Center somewhere in the Sinnoh region, trainers were watching the brawl between Cynthia and Lucian through the tv. Amongst them were Ash Ketchum, Dawn, and Brock.

"This is just what I would expect from a battle between Lucian and the Champion League master,"

Brock comments, the battle meets all his expectations of what the match between the best of the best trainer is like.

Brock has one of the notable appearance features about him, which is his nature, seemly appear closed eyes. He also has spiky brown hair and tan skin.

For his outfit, it's consisting of a green collared shirt, an orange vest with brown trim, khaki pants with knee stitching, and blue high-top sneakers.

"They're supercharged!" comment an excited Dawn.

She's not much of pure battle type since she is a Coordinator but who wouldn't be exciting if the battle were between the top of the Sinnoh region.

Dawn has a fair complexion, blue eyes and midlength hair of the same color. Her usual outfit is a mini dress, consisting of a black V-neck tank top with a white shirt under it, a very short pink miniskirt and a red scarf. On her head, she wears a white hat with a pink Poké-Ball print on it.

"Garrrr..." growls Garchomp without any scratch on its body from the Flash Connan after the smoke clears.

"Ooh, I don't believe it! Garchomp emerges unscathed!"

Exclaimed the announcer while Garchomp jumps into the air and starts to surrounding its body with spiraling orange streaks.

Then, a purple energy sphere covers Garchomp's body and flies toward Bronzong with great force, even leaving a trail of rubbish, broke off earth as it makes its way to its opponent.

"Here it comes, a prime example of Grachomp's Giga Impact!" said the announcer as Garchomp run into Bronzong with full force, directly knocking it out.

"And Bronzong take a clean hit, complement of Garchomp and Champion of the Sinnoh League Cynthia!" spoke the announcer as the referee declare Bronzong unable to continue.

"Champion right, she's top of the line!" Ash stands up from his seat and pumps his fist.

He wears a black vest with a white collar and yellow stripe, a white short sleeve undershirt, blue cargo jeans, black and red sneakers, and his hat's Poké Ball is blue.

"I don't think Lucian stand a chance" Dawn voice her opinion, seeing how Lucian easily lost.

"Well in all of Sinnoh, she is number one" Brock stated.

If is it was fate, a boy ran into the cafe with a big new, "Hey guy, the champion just turn up at Amity Square!"

"Alight, let go see!"

With how loud he and his friends were talking, Ash and his grow who was not far away overhear them and got exciting that they get to see the champion in person.

"Come on, Let's go too!"

***

Earlier at some road toward Amity Square, the Sinnoh champion was standing in a thinking pose in front of an ice cream stand, trying to decide what ice cream to get.

On the other side of the stand were three people who are part of Team Rocket, in a uniform of ice cream salesperson. They have a smile on their faces but on the inside, they're getting tired of waiting and trying hard to not showing.

"Excuse me-..." ask the female of the group of the salesmen.

Jessie is a woman who has her long red hair that curled in a comet-tail behind her head.

"Know what you like just yet?" asked James, finishing for Jessie.

James has shoulder-length periwinkle hair with a single fringe sprouting from the center and a pair of green eyes.

"Well every one of them looks great" replies Cynthia, bring her face closer to the large selection ice cream flavors.

"Than try them all and knock yourself out" offer a Meowth, which could talk in the human language.

Meowth is a small, bipedal, feline Pokémon. standing on two legs. It has two white whiskers on each side of its oval-shaped face and two hairs sticking up on either side of the coin-like gem on its forehead, and highly resembles a cat.

"But where would I put them all?" Cynthia replied with her head tilt.

Than Cynthia brings her fist down on her hand, finally knowing what she wants and tell them with delight.

"I know, I take a triple cone with chocolate, mint, strawberries, cookies, and cream!"

With that, she makes her way toward Amity Square with her cone in hand, leaving a very relieved Team Rocket, they were on this for half a day!

***

Currently, Cynthia was inspecting a stone table of legendary pokemon, Palkia and Dialga while licking her cone, at the time being watched by a crowd of people. This is what Ash, Dawn, and Brock walked in on.

"Wow, it really her!" exclaimed Ash, taking a closer look at her.

"She even more ravishing than on tv. I should be in her arm instead of that ice cream" said Brock with a love-struck face like he do with all of the beautiful women.

"Sometimes, Brock. You worry me," said Dawn, facepalming.

Just then someone walks past them. Notice it a person he knew, Ash called out, "Hey, Paul!"

The one who passed them has mid-length purple hair and wears a purple jacket with navy blue sleeves. A blue undershirt, dark purple pants, and purple and navy sneakers with white soles.

"Haven't seen you in a while. How many badges have you won, I got two?" Ash asks his rival.

"That none of your business, see" replied Paul.

He doesn't have time to wast on their silly question, he was here to challenge Cynthia and see how big is a difference between them.

Just as he turned around and was going be on his way toward Cynthia again, someone beat him to it.

The one walk up to Cynthia was a tall, a bit tan skin young man with a short, undercut black hair with fringe and overall handsome face.

His outfit consisting of a think roll-up sleeve, black sweatshirt with white stripes going horizontal from the left side of the shirt. His pant is a black skinny sweatpant with white stripes going around the left of the leg and black shoes.

For accessories, he has two white belts on both sides of his pants with Pokeball attach to them.

And on his left arm, he has multiple connecting silver bracelet with a round stone hanging down from them.

The stone is a transparent stone with countless tiny stars of different colors and a black shape leaf inside of it.

"Hello, my name is Poe. I want to challenge you to a battle, Cynthia."

"Oh wow, he's a hottie," said Dawn with both her hand on her cheek and with a bit of blush.

She's not the only girls in here that think the same. Jessie who came here with her two teammates, because of the crowd was on the same wavelength.

"He looks just like the prince I saw in my dream and he's here to take me away just like in the dream, I just know it!"

"Are you sure about that?" asked James with a doubtful look and in return got smash by the hair of Jessie. Her hair feels like it's hard as a brick.

"Huh, it been a while since I took on a field challenge." Cynthia who was faring off the charm of Poe better than the other girls mused and ask, "Are you competing in the Sinnoh League now?"

"That right"

"I see, fine then. I accept your challenge" Cynthia accepts the challenge with a cheerful smile.

She hadn't had a normal pokemon battle in quite some time and she was interested in what the stone on his bracelet was. It looks beautiful and also likes it have power.

"Look at what you did. Because of you, someone got to her before me and challenge her."

Paul glare at Ash. He was quite right mad now if it wasn't for Ash stopping him. he'll the one battling Cynthia right now.

"Are you here to battle Cynthia too?"

"Yeah, but because of you. I've lost that chance," he replied in an annoying tone.

"Hey, Ash didn't know that," said Dawn, trying to defend her friend.

"Quiet, they starting" Paul replies, facing forward. Even if he's not battling her, he would still watch what she can do in person.

"Do you mind if we battle with just one pokemon each?" the black hair challenge request.

"I don't mind at all" Cynthia replies and take out a Pokeball, and throws it, "Garchomp, battle dance."

As the spectators wait to see what pokemon Poe was gonna use but he never throws out any Pokeball, everyone began to wonder if he was intimidating and can't choose what pokemon to use.

If he was, they couldn't blame him since Garchomp was the prize pokemon of the champion and very powerful.

Poe hold his hand up like stop sign and speak, "Since you're using Garchomp, I have a gift for you and your pokemon."

He walks closer to Cynthia and takes out a silver necklace with the same stone as the one on his bracelet and a collar for pokemon that also have a round stone on, but it has dark purple colors and orange with a yellow stripe flame inside.

"This is?.."

Cynthia, wondering what the purpose of those stones. She never sees stones like those before, she not alone either, everyone think the same thing.

"You'll see soon" Poe gives her a charming smile and show her the necklace, "Would you allow me to put this on your neck?"

"Sure" Cynthia replies with a small pink glow on her cheek.

"I'm so jealous, I wish I was him," said Brock with tears in his eyes, watching the mysterious guy put on the champion's neck.

"That should've been me, I'm way pretty than her" Jessie complains while biting on her ice cream uniform aprons, causing James and Meowth to sigh.

After putting the stone on both Garchomp and Cynthia, Poe went back to his previous spot.

"What do you think those stones are for, Brock" Dawn asked.

"Hmm...i don't know but we might see it in this battle" Brock answer seriously expression, he also wants to know.

"Who cares, I can't wait to see what this battle would be like," said Ash excitingly, it didn't matter to him what those stone are for, he just wants to see some battling.

"..." Paul didn't comment and just look ahead with focus eyes.

Now that everything was set, the crowd await to see what pokemon Poe was going to use but instead, he rose his head toward the sky and shouts.

" It's time, let go!"
