The next happened, as once again everyone was excited for this Match of Haru bet was made between if or if not Haru will win this match agent's Koga, if he wins that will another win agent's the Elite four and one step closer to the Champion.
In the crowed, once again Clari, Rose,Whitney and Suicune were wearing the cheerleader outfit, Clair had finally gotten over her embracement so she started to cheer for Haru the love her life, and the other 3 girl also followed, Ash, Misty, Brock and Casey was also excited again, and Leon actually made to the right side this time, in the Harmonia family Vip room, all 7 of Haru sister was cheering Haru as the battle was starting.
The Referee then spoke. "Today is the second Match of the Champion League, today's natchs is Ethan Haru Bit Harmonia Vs Koga of the Elite four, this will be a 6 on 6, with only the Ethan alloeed to switched out this Pokemon let's start".
Haru looker at the Area, it was a Forest Area. "Alright Mr Ninja let's see what you can do".
Koga looked at and pulled out his Pokeball. "Then show me".
As then Koga sent out his first Pokemon, as it was Skuntank, Haru then sent out his Swampert, Koga was bit confused before it then hit like a Truck.
Haru looker at Swanpert. "Use Stealth Rock, and then earthquake".
Swampert stomped the ground, causing sharp, jagged stones to appear around the battlefield. These stones hovered ominously, ready to damage any of Koga's Pokémon that entered the field. Without hesitation, Swampert then unleashed a powerful Earthquake. The ground trembled violently, and the shockwaves surged towards Skuntank.
Koga smirked, quickly commanding, "Skuntank, use Protect!"
Skuntank formed a shimmering barrier around itself, absorbing the impact of the Earthquake and emerging unscathed. "Not bad, challenger," Koga said, his tone calm but serious. "But I won't go down that easily. Skuntank, follow up with Toxic!"
Skuntank's tail released a glob of poisonous liquid that soared toward Swampert. Haru's eyes narrowed as he called out, "Swampert, dodge and use Waterfall!"
Swampert leaped gracefully, avoiding the Toxic attack, and charged forward, cloaked in a torrent of water. It slammed into Skuntank, pushing it back with immense force. Skuntank skidded across the forest terrain but managed to stay on its feet, though it was clearly starting to weaken.
Koga's smirk widened. "Skuntank, now use Explosion!"
The crowd gasped as Skuntank began glowing brightly, preparing to unleash a devastating explosion. Haru reacted instantly. "Swampert, retreat now!"
Swampert jumped back just in time as Skuntank detonated in a powerful blast, taking itself down but leaving a significant crater in the forest arena. The aftermath of the attack stirred up dust and debris, obscuring the battlefield momentarily.
When the dust settled, Koga returned Skuntank to its Pokéball. "You're good, but let's see how you handle this one." He threw out his next Pokéball, revealing Ariados. The stealth rocks embedded in the battlefield struck Ariados upon entry, dealing some damage.
Haru smiled, already planning his next move. "Alright, Swampert. Let's keep up the momentum. Use Ice Punch and follow it with Waterfall!"
Swampert nodded, its fists glowing icy blue as it dashed toward Ariados, ready to keep the pressure on.
Koga quickly reacted, his voice sharp and commanding. "Ariados, use Sticky Web to slow Swampert down!"
Ariados shot out a large, sticky web, spreading it across the battlefield. Swampert's charge slowed slightly as the web clung to its legs, but it still managed to close the distance. With a swift Ice Punch, Swampert landed a direct hit on Ariados, frost forming around its body as it skidded back.
Koga smirked, unfazed. "Ariados, counter with Leech Life!"
The frost-bitten Ariados lunged forward, sinking its fangs into Swampert and draining its energy. Swampert flinched, slightly weakened, but Haru wasn't worried. "Shake it off, Swampert! Finish it with Waterfall!"
Swampert roared, summoning a torrent of water around itself before charging at full force. The attack struck Ariados head-on, launching it into a nearby tree and knocking it out. The crowd erupted into cheers as Haru secured his second victory.
Koga calmly returned Ariados to its Pokéball. "Impressive, challenger. But you'll need more than brute force to defeat me." He pulled out another Pokéball. "Let's see how you handle Crobat!"
The sleek, purple bat Pokémon emerged, its wings flapping rapidly as it hovered in the air. The stealth rocks struck it upon entry, but Crobat barely flinched, showing its resilience.
Haru quickly assessed the situation. Crobat's speed will be a problem. I need to be careful. He recalled Swampert, giving it a well-deserved rest, and sent out Electivire.
Electivire landed on the battlefield with a thud, sparks crackling around its body. The crowd cheered louder, sensing the electrifying energy between the two Pokémon.
Koga grinned. "Crobat, let's show them our speed. Use Acrobatics!"
Crobat zipped through the air with incredible agility, striking Electivire with a powerful acrobatic maneuver. Electivire staggered but held its ground. Haru seized the opportunity. "Electivire, counter with Wild Charge!"
Electricity surged through Electivire's body as it charged at Crobat with tremendous speed. The attack hit Crobat midair, sending it tumbling back. Crobat struggled to stay aloft, clearly weakened.
Koga frowned but maintained his composure. "Crobat, use Confuse Ray!"
Crobat's eyes glowed as it released a wave of hypnotic light, disorienting Electivire. Haru clenched his fists. Not good. I need to snap Electivire out of it fast.
"Electivire, focus! Use Ice Punch!"
Electivire stumbled, swaying from side to side as it tried to obey Haru's command. The confusion took hold, causing it to punch the ground instead of its target. Koga smirked. "Crobat, use Air Slash!"
Crobat unleashed a flurry of air blades, striking Electivire repeatedly. Haru called out, his voice firm. "Electivire, snap out of it and finish this with another Wild Charge!"
Electivire roared, breaking through the confusion as electricity crackled around it once more. It launched itself at Crobat, striking with full force. The impact was enough to knock Crobat out of the sky, ending the battle.
The crowd roared as Koga recalled Crobat. "You're full of surprises, challenger. But the battle isn't over yet." He sent out his next Pokémon: Toxicroak.
Haru grinned. "Bring it on!" The tension in the arena grew as the battle continued, both trainers determined to prove their strength.
The moment Toxicroak came out of the Pokémon, it was attacked by Stealth Rock, as it was sent back.
Haru then told Electivire to use Wild Charge, and then to follow it up with a Brick Break, as the Electric type Pokémon went and tryed to hit but Toxicroak then moved out of the way.
Koga looked at Toxicroak. "Let's get rid of the annoyance, Use Dig".
Toxicroak then used Dig and went to the ground, Haru and everyone was wondering what will happen then the ground started to bubble with poison enegry as then Toxicroak came out of the groudn as in the ground was many melted rocks, particularly Stealth Rock's.
Haru just looked at him as he spoke. "Will that is a strategy".
Meanwhile in the Audience Misty just blinked and looked at Ash. "Why does it feel like that is something Ash would do"
Ash rubbed the back of his head with a sheepish grin. "Hey, I'm not that unpredictable, am I?"
Misty crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow. "Oh, really? Do I need to remind you of the time you had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on the sprinklers?"
Brock chuckled. "She's got a point, Ash. That was definitely your style—creative but chaotic."
Back on the battlefield, Haru smirked, unfazed by Koga's maneuver. "Clever move, but I'm not worried. Electivire, let's shake things up! Use Ice Punch!"
Electivire's fist glowed with icy energy as it slammed the ground, sending a wave of frost toward Toxicroak. Koga's eyes narrowed. "Toxicroak, dodge and use Poison Jab!"
Toxicroak leaped over the frost and lunged at Electivire with its glowing, poison-infused fist. The attack landed, causing Electivire to stagger back, but Haru wasn't done yet.
"Electivire, counter with Brick Break!"
Electivire recovered quickly, its glowing hand striking Toxicroak's midsection with immense force. The impact sent Toxicroak skidding across the battlefield, though it managed to stay on its feet.
Koga smirked. "Not bad, but this isn't over. Toxicroak, use Gunk Shot!"
Toxicroak unleashed a massive blob of toxic sludge, hurtling it toward Electivire. Haru grinned. "Electivire, dodge and finish this with Wild Charge!"
Electivire roared, electricity crackling around its body as it dodged the incoming attack and charged at Toxicroak with blinding speed. The electric collision sent Toxicroak flying into a tree, knocking it out.
The referee raised a hand. "Toxicroak is unable to battle! Electivire wins!"
The crowd erupted into cheers, and Haru's supporters in the audience went wild. Clair and the other cheerleaders jumped with excitement, while Misty looked impressed. "He's really holding his own against Koga."
Ash nodded. "Yeah, but Koga still has a few Pokémon left. This isn't over yet."
Koga returned Toxicroak to its Pokéball, his expression serious but composed. "You're strong, challenger. But let's see how you handle this." He sent out his fourth Pokémon: Venomoth.
The sleek, lavender moth Pokémon fluttered into the battlefield, its wings glittering with powder. As it entered, the Stealth Rocks struck it, causing visible damage.
Haru recalled Electivire, giving it a break. "You've done great. Time for some fresh power! Go, Houndoom!"
The sleek black canine emerged, snarling as flames flickered around its maw. The crowd buzzed with anticipation as the battle between Houndoom and Venomoth began.
Koga didn't waste time. "Venomoth, use Quiver Dance!"
Venomoth's body glowed as it boosted its speed, special attack, and special defense. Haru smirked. "Trying to power up? Let's put a stop to that. Houndoom, use Fire Blast!"
Houndoom unleashed a massive star-shaped inferno, hurtling it toward Venomoth. The battlefield heated up as the attack approached. Koga's eyes gleamed. "Venomoth, dodge and use Sleep Powder!"
The nimble Venomoth evaded the Fire Blast and released a cloud of shimmering powder toward Houndoom. Haru shouted quickly. "Houndoom, Nasty Plot and follow up with Flamethrower!"
Houndoom closed its eyes, focusing as its special attack rose sharply. Just as the Sleep Powder reached it, Houndoom unleashed a stream of flames, dispersing the powder and scorching Venomoth.
The flames engulfed Venomoth, and when they cleared, the bug-type Pokémon was down. The referee raised his hand. "Venomoth is unable to battle! Houndoom wins!"
The crowd roared as Haru secured yet another victory. Koga's expression tightened as he prepared to send out his next Pokémon. "You're skilled, challenger. But let's see how you handle this." He threw out another Pokéball, revealing his fifth Pokémon: Drapion.
Haru's eyes narrowed. "Let's see what you've got." The battle continued, with the intensity rising as both trainers pushed their limits.
Haru then called Back Houndoom. "If your going to use a Pokémon from Sinnoh, why not use one for my self as well".
Haru then sent out his Hisuian Zoroark, as Zoroark roar as it looked back at Haru. "Zoroark Nasty Plot and follow it by a Focus Blast".
The moment Hisuian Zoroark appeared, its spectral white and crimson form radiated a ghostly aura, drawing gasps from the crowd. Koga's Drapion hissed, clearly recognizing the power of its opponent.
Haru wasted no time. "Zoroark, let's power up! Use Nasty Plot!"
Zoroark closed its eyes, a sinister grin forming as dark energy swirled around it. Its special attack surged, sending an intimidating chill through the arena.
Koga remained calm, gesturing to Drapion. "Don't let them set up! Use Cross Poison! Close the distance!"
Drapion charged forward with its pincers glowing a venomous purple. Haru smirked, unfazed. "Zoroark, counter with Focus Blast! Full power!"
Zoroark unleashed a massive orb of concentrated energy, glowing with a golden hue as it hurtled toward Drapion. The timing was perfect—the attack collided with Drapion mid-charge, creating a deafening explosion.
When the dust settled, Drapion was visibly shaken but still standing. Koga grinned. "Drapion, show them your resilience! Use Knock Off!"
Drapion moved with surprising speed, aiming to strike Zoroark with its claws. Haru's eyes narrowed. "Zoroark, dodge and use Shadow Ball!"
Zoroark leaped gracefully into the air, evading Drapion's attack, and fired a swirling orb of dark energy. The Shadow Ball hit Drapion head-on, causing it to stumble backward. The damage was clearly taking its toll.
The crowd was on the edge of their seats. In the audience, Clair leaned forward, gripping the railing. "He's pushing Koga into a corner. Zoroark's strength is insane!"
Whitney nodded, eyes sparkling with excitement. "He's handling Drapion like a pro! That Focus Blast was a game-changer."
Koga's composure remained steady. "You're good, but I'm not done yet. Drapion, use Toxic Spikes! Cover the field!"
Drapion slammed its claws into the ground, scattering glowing purple spikes across the battlefield. Haru's expression darkened. He knew switching Pokémon now would be risky.
"Not bad," Haru admitted. "But we're not letting you take control. Zoroark, let's finish this! Use Focus Blast one more time!"
Zoroark snarled, gathering another sphere of energy. This time, the attack radiated even more power. The crowd held their breath as the orb launched toward Drapion.
"Drapion, block it with Protect!" Koga commanded.
A green barrier formed around Drapion, absorbing the impact of the Focus Blast. Koga smirked. "You'll need more than brute force to beat me."
Haru grinned confidently. "Who said I was done? Zoroark, follow up with Hyper Voice! Full power!"
Zoroark unleashed a devastating, ear-piercing roar, sending waves of ghostly energy across the field. The attack bypassed Drapion's defenses, hitting it directly. Drapion roared in pain before collapsing to the ground.
The referee raised his hand. "Drapion is unable to battle! Zoroark wins!"
The crowd erupted into cheers as Haru secured another victory. Koga recalled Drapion, his expression more serious now. "Impressive, but don't think this battle is over yet. Let's see how you handle my ace!"
He threw his next Pokéball, revealing Salazzle, which screeched as it took to the air with blinding speed. The battle was far from over, and both trainers were determined to give it their all.
Haru looked at Koga Ace, a Pokémon he had never seen before, this was differently Koga final Pokémon and then was the name Salazzle. "Will better check my Pokémon for this one, seeing that it is your 6th and final Pokémon".
Koga's final Pokémon emerged from its Pokéball in a burst of light: Salazzle, the sleek, poisonous lizard Pokémon, with a wicked grin and flames flickering around its body. Its toxic beauty shimmered in the arena, and the crowd murmured in awe at Koga's choice.
Haru eyed the Pokémon, intrigued. "Salazzle, huh? This is definitely something new." He quickly checked his Pokédex for more information.
Salazzle
Type: Poison/Fire
Ability: Corrosion
Nature: Rash
Known Moves: Toxic, Flamethrower, Venoshock, Sludge Bomb
Haru raised an eyebrow. He'd heard of Salazzle but had never faced one in a competitive battle. "Koga, you've got a dangerous Pokémon on your hands. Let's see if it's enough to stop me."
Koga smirked, already one step ahead. "Salazzle is one of the fastest Pokémon in my team, Haru. It can deal with anything you throw at it. Let's go!"
Without hesitation, Koga ordered, "Salazzle, use Sludge Bomb!"
Salazzle released a toxic ball of sludge from its mouth, the green sludge speeding through the air toward Zoroark. Haru acted quickly.
"Zoroark, dodge and use Shadow Ball!"
Zoroark darted to the side, narrowly avoiding the Sludge Bomb, and retaliated by launching a shadowy sphere at Salazzle. The Shadow Ball hit Salazzle directly, and the poisonous Pokémon hissed in pain but didn't back down.
"Nice try," Koga said coolly. "But this is far from over. Salazzle, use Toxic!"
Salazzle's eyes glowed a sickly green as it unleashed a cloud of toxic gas that engulfed the field. Haru's heart raced as he realized what was happening.
"Zoroark, get out of there!" Haru yelled.
But before Zoroark could escape, it inhaled some of the toxic fumes, and the poisonous energy started to take effect. Zoroark's movements slowed as it became poisoned.
"That was clever," Haru muttered under his breath. "But we're still in this, Zoroark. Let's go for broke. Focus Blast again!"
Zoroark powered up, gathering the familiar energy sphere in its paws. The Focus Blast shot forward, glowing with immense power as it headed straight for Salazzle.
Koga was unfazed. "Salazzle, use Flamethrower!"
Salazzle shot out a stream of intense fire, meeting Zoroark's Focus Blast in mid-air. The two attacks collided, causing a massive explosion in the center of the field. Both Pokémon were knocked back, but Zoroark was noticeably weaker, struggling to stand.
Haru clenched his fist. "Come on, Zoroark. One more hit, we've got this!"
But Koga wasn't finished yet. "Salazzle, let's finish it with Venoshock! All the poison energy from earlier will make this attack even stronger."
Salazzle smirked and blasted a stream of toxic purple liquid directly at Zoroark. The attack hit Zoroark with full force, and the ghostly Pokémon cried out as the venom coursed through its body.
The referee raised his flag. "Zoroark is unable to battle! Salazzle wins!"
Haru recalled Zoroark with a sigh, his eyes narrowed in determination. "Nice one, Koga. But the battle isn't over yet. Let's see if Salazzle can handle this."
Haru threw out his next Pokéball, and in a flash, Swampert appeared on the battlefield, ready for action.
The crowd held their breath as the stage was set for an intense final clash between Haru and Koga's aces.
