Pokemon: Jordinio Version Chapter 87

My eyes widened in shock as a legitimate gleaming tallic crimson red Scizor appeared in front of him, quickly falling into a crouched and ready stance.

I knew he had a Scyther after what Misty told …but he'd evolved it already!? Not only that, but comparing Pikachu to what he was like before in the original was like night and day, Pikachu refused to battle half the ti at this point and here he actually put up a fight against Fearow!

Interesting, very interesting. This was a whole new Ash Ketchum, there wasn't a single variation of Ash I'd ever seen in any of the canon sources that had a Scizor.

And honestly, Scizor was probably one of the best suited pokemon to Ash. He was always best with fast pokemon, especially ones that could take a hit and keep on trucking.

Scizor was practically geared towards Ash actually now that I think about it.

"Fearow versus Scizor, begin!" Brock declared.

"Quick Attack and then tal Claw!" Ash wasted no ti in getting right down to business.

Like before with Pikachu, white light erupted from Scizor's wings and the bug and steel type zipped through the air, a blur to the eyes.

…And was faster than Pikachu!

"Protect!" I instantly countered.

A green spherical barrier erupted around Fearow, and none to soon as Scizor, red claws glowing tallic silver smashed into the barrier a split mont later.

Not as fast as Pidgeot, but…faster than anything else I had currently. What the fuck?

And that wasn't all…

Fearow's Protect wavered beneath the pair of heavy speed enhanced tal Claw attacks.

Insane, so not only was it incredibly fast, it was incredibly strong as well!

Scizor reared back and slamd another set of tal Claw's into the Protect, once again, the barrier wavered massively.

'It can't take another hit like that.' I quickly noted. Another pair of attacks, maybe two more at most and Protect would go down.

This didn't make sense.

Not unless….

'Technician!' my eyes widened.

Its ability had to be Technician!

Let say one thing here, Technician is a bullshit ability. I only know how it works exactly because my Persian has it. and I looked it up when checking out his moves.

Technician basically massively amplified the power of all attacks used by a pokemon. Not just weak ones like in the gas, all of them, and that included their secondary effects. Electric type attacks were more prone to paralyzing, fire type attacks more prone to burning, and Quick Attack for instance…would boost the speed to even greater degrees than normal!

"Scizor, give him a taste of your own Hyper Beam!" Ash altered his command to Scizor.

What, Ash has a pokemon with Hyper Beam as well already!?

A grin spread across Scizor's tallic red face and the bug and steel type opened up his claws, twin spheres of dark energy swirling and compressing into existence into them.

Twin Hyper Beams at that!

Which would be amplified by Technician!

Oh shit…

Facing down the powerful twin Hyper Beam attack about to be unleashed upon Fearow's barrier, there was really only one option for here.

If he just took the attack, it would blow right through his Protect barrier and shatter it like glass after all!

"Astonish!" I roared.

And Fearow copied .

The huge flying type dropped his barrier at the sa ti his beak spread wide open, "ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!"

A red energy sound wave erupted from his beak and slamd into and over Scizor at point blank range just before it could unleash its Hyper Beams.

Scizor noticeably grimaced and flinched back.

And at the sa ti, lost control over the twin spheres of dark energy compressing between its claws.

They both exploded.

Powerfully.

Both Fearow and Scizor were caught up in the attack and carried away in opposite directions.

Each skipping hard across the ground like stones skipping across the surface of a serene lake.

I winced at the loud thumps that echoed each ti Fearow's body smashed into the ground, leaving small craters behind with each one.

Thankfully, Fearow was made of tougher stuff than your standard pokemon. He did go through the grind with after all.

After the fourth ground shaking bounce across the battle field, Fearow's wings glowed tallic silver and he lashed out, stabbing his wings into the ground and stopping himself from going any further.

Fearow thankfully, was a little bit more away from the attack than Scizor and had the ti to guard with his wings to blunt the damage.

His body was scuffed up, but he hadn't taken too much damage.

I wish I could say the opposite about Scizor.

But…

When the dust cloud that erupted from the explosion died down to show the other side, it was just in ti for to see Scizor's entire body glowing tallic silver.

'Iron Defence.' I grimaced.

So Quick Attack, tal Claw, Hyper Beam and Iron Defence. That was quite the powerful move set, especially with Technician.

"Heh, it'll take more than that to bring Scizor down!" Ash called over, a proud grin on his face, "He's my strongest pokemon!" he happily boasted.

"I can see that." I snorted.

I'm honestly still flabbergasted a bit that Ash already has a fully evolved pokemon that isn't a basic fast evolving bug type!

Well whatever, this ti I'm taking the fight to him.

"Go for it with Peck!" I ordered my pokemon.

Fearow obeyed, zipping through the air towards Scizor at a blurring speed, beak glowing with power.

"et them head on, Quick Attack and tal Claw again!" Ash repeated his beginning combo.

Once again, light erupted from Scizor and its claws glowed tallic silver and it rocketed forward to et Fearow.

"Double Team!" I quickly called an instant before they collided, knowing Scizor would win in a straight up physical clash thanks to both its tallic body and Technician.

Fearow shimred and Scizor tore right through him, literally.

The now copy of Fearow disappeared, while dozens of Fearow surrounded Scizor on all sides, beaks still glowing and as one converged on the dual steel and bug type.

To its credit, Scizor acted incredibly fast, rapidly rotating into a blurring spin and lashing out with his glowing claws.

He tore straight through every single Fearow that converged on him.

"Scizor?" it stopped in place, looking confused.

And then the real Fearow ca down from above, driving his Peck attack straight into the top of Scizor's cranium. and slamming it into the ground hard enough to crater it.

Pinning Scizor beneath him in the ground, Fearow didn't let up for even a second and began unleashing a barrage of lightning fast peck attacks on the stunned pokemon.

"Scizor, Iron Defence, tough it out!" Ash countered quickly.

Again to its credit, Scizor despite taking easily a dozen Peck's from Fearow, obeyed, body igniting into a tallic silver.

Not that it stopped Fearow, my bird continued to stab his back against Scizors armour over and over and over, head moving so fast I could barely follow it.

Iron Defence would massively blunt the damage Scizor took, but it wouldn't make it null and void, and Fearow had the bug and steel type pinned beneath him, with no leverage to throw him off.

It would co down to a battle of attrition at this rate.

Not.

Screw that.

"Hyper Beam and jump!" I switched tactics a second later.

If Scizor was Ash's strongest, I expect it'll hold on no matter how many Peck's it gets hit by and find a way to counter sohow.

That was the kind of thing expected of an Ash ace.

Best nip that in the bud.

As Fearow's head ca up from another Peck to prepare to stab down again, he instead opened his beak, black energy swirling and compressing into a familiar sphere of power.

And then he beat his wings and jumped up, lunging down with his beak at the sa ti and unleashing a huge black beam of power a split mont later straight down into the prone Scizor.

Scizor pushed up out of the crater almost imdiately, but wasn't quick enough to dodge the huge beam of energy as it slamd into it and dragged it back into the ground.

When the beam died down, it was to reveal Scizor laying prone in a now much larger crater, body a gleaming and beaten crimson red once again, its Iron Defence had faded in the face of Fearow's Hyper Beam.

And gliding in the air, Fearow panted raggedly, utterly exhausted. And I don't bla him.

To my astonishnt though-

The rocks and debris that covered Scizor was pushed aside and the dual bug and steel type pushed itself back up despite the massive damage it had taken.

"Scizor!" it pointed one claw up at Fearow and challenged my pokemon.

"That's the way Scizor, yeah!" Ash pumped his fist into the air and roared his encouragent.

And for a mont, just a split mont, my vision seed to flicker and change and I swear I could see Ash with a raging blue inferno burning over his body like an aura of power.

But it was gone a second later.

The hell?

Am I seeing things?

I shook my head, no matter, "Alright, if you aren't done then, let's finish them Fearow!"

"Don't back down, get up there and tal Claw!" Ash shouted, no backing down at all.

"Throat Chop, finish it off!" I ordered.

Fearow's wings glowed with an ominous dark colour, while Scizor's claws once again glowed a tallic silver.

As one, they charged each other, Scizor zipping up and Fearow scything down.
