Battle Hall

The gang was approaching Hearthome City, but they were visiting a building just outside the city. It was the second battle facility.
"So, what's this battle facility called Ash?" Dawn asked.
"Well the map said it was called the Battle Hall." Ash said.
"Then maybe this facility will look fancy like the Battle Castle did." Dawn said.
"Hey I think we're here." Tomo stated.
He pointed to a big pink and white dome shaped building.
"How gorgeous." Dawn said, delighted.
"Could that be the Battle Hall?" Brock asked.
"There's only one way to find out." Ash replied.
The gang walked up to the building. A security guard was outside and he walked over to the gang.
"What are you kids doing here?" He asked.
"Excuse me, but is this the Battle Hall?" Ash asked.
"It is." The guard nodded.
"I'm here to challenge the Battle Hall." Ash explained.
"Well in that case, you had better go in. Miss Argentina has been waiting for a challenger." The guard said. 
He then let the gang inside.
Inside was like being in the entrance of a theater hall; there were hallways leading to doors for events.
"Wow it's nice in here." Dawn said.
"I was wondering when you kids would show up." A voice said. It was Matt.
"Hi Matt." Ash said.
"Hey Ash." Matt said. "Ready to face the next Frontier Brain?"
"Do you know who the Frontier Brain is?" Brock asked.
"She's a woman named Argenta. Hall Matron Argenta to be more specific." Matt explained.
"Let's go in now because it's time for one of her shows."
He opened two doors to another room.
At first the gang didn't understand what Matt said, but when they entered the room they understood it. This room was a hall for fashion shows. There were four platforms for women to do the catwalk to show off their fashions, hundreds of seats for the audience, lots of lights hanging on the ceiling and a big TV screen for everyone to see what was going on. There was even a big stage with a curtain behind that led to a platform that seemed to look like a battlefield. 
"Wow, a fashion snow." Dawn said with stars in her eyes.
Matt explained that Argenta was a fashion stylist and held fashion shows at the Battle Hall. 
"We better sit down now kids. Her show is about to begin."
As soon as Matt and the gang sat down a fashion show was starting and soon women began to walk down the platforms showing off their dresses, shorts, tops, jackets, etc. Dawn couldn't stop yapping about how beautiful and gorgeous the outfits were. Suddenly the lights lit up the battlefield platform and there was a woman with purple hair and a pair of sunglasses on her head. 
"That Ash is the Hall Matron Argenta." Matt said.
Argenta started to speak through a microphone. 
"Hello everyone." She said. "Thank you for coming to see my show. Now everyone I have a treat for you because I have someone challenging me today." 
The crowd started to cheer; apparently they liked to see Argenta battle as well as her fashion shows. 
"And here he is." Argenta said.
The lights lit on Ash as he approached the catwalk. 
"Did you tell Argenta I wanted to challenge the Battle Frontier?" He asked, looking back at Matt. 
"Yes." Matt nodded. 
"Come on up, Ash Ketchum." Argenta said.
Ash walked onto the battlefield platform. 
"Well Ash, are you ready to challenge me?" Argenta asked.
"I'm as ready as I will ever be." Ash answered.
"A nice strong spirit, I see." Argenta replied.
Just then a maid came onto the platform carrying a box.
"What's the box for?" Ash asked.
Argenta explained that she liked to battle with Pokemon of the same type as the opponents. For example if Ash chose a water type Pokemon she would battle with a water type Pokemon too. This made Ash remember Rudy who did the same thing. 
"So Ash pick out four cards from the box and tell me what type of Pokemon we will battle with." Argenta said.
This challenge was a four on four Pokemon battle. Ash's four cards were revealed to be grass, bug, dark and psychic. 
"Okay Ash, you may go and choose your Pokemon and you can have Pokemon transported here too." Argenta said.
A Pokemon transfer machine appeared on the stage. Ash went over to the machine to switch out his Pokemon.
"I wonder what Pokemon Ash will choose." Dawn said.
"Well whatever they are Argenta will be using the same type too." Brock said.
Once Ash was done switching his Pokemon the machine disappeared and Ash and Argenta got ready to battle. The maid was the referee and she explained the rules about this challenge being a four on four battle, and both challengers could switch Pokemon after a Pokemon has fainted. To Ash this would be like the challenge he had with Rudy.
Ash sent out his first Pokemon Sceptile.
"So Ash's grass type Pokemon is a Sceptile and it looks really strong." Matt said.
"What a cool Pokemon." Dawn said as she looked it up on her Pokedex.
"I wonder what grass type Pokemon Argenta will use?" Tomo asked.
Tomo soon got a answer; Argenta's grass type Pokemon was a Roserade.
"Uh oh, Roserade's also a poison type Pokemon so Sceptile might be in trouble." Dawn said.
"Yes, but wait till you see Sceptile battle." Brock replied.
"Yeah, Ash's Sceptile isn't weak." Tomo continued.
Dawn felt she was in for a surprise after hearing what they said.
"Sceptile, Bullet Seed." Ash said.
"Dodge and use Sludge Bomb." Argenta ordered.
"Use Protect." Ash commanded.
A shield formed around Sceptile protecting him from Sludge Bomb.
"Aerial Ace." Sceptile then tackled Roserade.
"Wow Sceptile knows Aerial Ace." Dawn exclaimed in surprise.
"Yep and it knows other great moves too." Tomo nodded.
"Roserade, Petal Dance." Argenta ordered.
"Counter that with Leaf Storm." Ash said.
The two attacks collided with each other.
"Alright Roserade, Poison Sting." Argenta said.
"Fight back with Leaf Blade." Ash said.
Roserade fired poisoned barbs, but Sceptile cut the barbs with glowing leaves before they hit him.
"Now fire Dragon Breath." Sceptile released a green beam from his mouth.
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen a Sceptile use Dragon Breath." A surprised Argenta said.
Dawn was surprised as well.
"You see Dawn?" Brock said. "All of Ash's old Pokemon have learned lots of moves over time."
Dawn acknowledged this.
"Aerial Ace." Sceptile tackled Roserade.
"Now Sceptile, Leaf Blade." Ash said.
Sceptile slashed Roserade with glowing leaves and it fainted.
"Alright Ash has the first win." Dawn said.
"Yeah, but he still has three more Pokemon to deal with." Brock said.
Argenta returned Roserade and Ash returned his Sceptile.
"You did well against Roserade Ash." Argenta said. "But let's see how you do against my second Pokemon."
Her second Pokemon was a Masquerain.
"That's a pretty Pokemon." Dawn said.
She was looking at Masquerain on the Pokedex.
Ash sent his Beautifly out to battle Masquerain.
"I heard from my friend Scott that Ash has a lot of Pokemon and he was right." Matt said.
He couldn't wait to see what other Pokemon Ash had.
"Poison Sting." Ash told Beautifly.
"Dodge it and use Bubble, Masquerain." Argenta said.
Masquerain dodged the poisoned barbs and blew bubbles at Beautifly.
"Okay Beautifly, use Gust." Ash said.
Beautifly used her wings to produce a tornado.
"Masquerain, use Air Slash." Argenta said.
Masquerain released a blade of air from it's wings.
"Don't give up Beautifly. Heal yourself with Morning Sun." Ash said.
Beautifly used Morning Sun to immediately heal herself.
"So Morning Sun recovers a Pokemon's health?" Dawn asked.
"Just like Synthesis and Recover." Brock nodded.
"Okay Beautifly, use Silver Wind." Ash said.
Beautifly produced a silvery wind from her wings. 
"Masquerain, counter that with your Silver Wind." Argenta said.
Masquerain produced a silvery wind from it's wings.
"Ash's Beautifly might be in trouble because Masquerain's Silver Wind was stronger." Matt said.
Masquerain then used Bubble.
"Now Air Slash." Argenta said.
Masquerain produced a blade of air that slashed Beautifly. Beautifly couldn't take anymore and fainted.
The audience started cheering for Argenta's victory.
"Oh man, with a crowd like this Ash must be feeling pressure." Matt said.
"No he isn't." Tomo countered. "He's been through this before and never let it bother him."
"Ash is a very brave person then." Dawn said.
Ash's next Pokemon was Absol and Argenta sent out a Umbreon.
"Hey, my mom also has a Umbreon." Dawn said.
"Quick Attack." Argenta told Umbreon.
"Use Quick Attack." Ash replied.
The two Pokemon tackled each other.
"Okay Absol, Flamethrower." Ash said.
Absol released a stream of fire from it's mouth which Umbreon dodged.
"Umbreon, Confuse Ray." Argenta said.
Absol then became confused.
"Oh no." Dawn gasped.
She knew that a Pokemon that was confused is a problem.
"Absol, try to use Dark Pulse." Ash said.
Absol did, but in her confused state she wasn't able to aim her attack.
"Umbreon, use Quick Attack." Argenta said.
Umbreon started tackling Absol repeatedly.
Ash knew that if he didn't do something, he would lose.
"Absol, try using Megahorn." He said.
Absol did manage to hit Umbreon that time.
"It's a good thing Absol knows Megahorn." Tomo said. "Bug type moves beat dark type Pokemon."
"Umbreon, Double Team." Argenta ordered.
Ash then smiled.
"Swift." He told Absol.
Absol was no longer confused. The Umbreon copies were hit by the stars and so was the real Umbreon. 
"Okay Absol, use Megahorn again." Ash said.
Asbol tackled Umbreon really hard. This caused Umbreon to faint.
"Now Ash only has one more round to win." Brock said.
"But what will happen if Argenta wins and it's a draw?" Dawn asked.
"If that happens, I'm afraid Argenta will be the winner." Matt said.
"If any challenges end in a draw, the Frontier Brain is the winner." He explained.
"Oh yeah. The same thing happened at Kanto's Battle Frontier." Brock recalled.
Dawn was worried about Ash now. He and Argenta recalled their Pokemon and sent their last Pokemon out. Ash had chosen Grumpig and Argenta sent out a Gardevoir.
"Magical Leaf." Argenta told Gardevoir.
"Ha, we know exactly how to handle this." Ash smirked. "Grumpig, Psychic."
Grumpig held the leaves in place then sent them back to Gardevoir. Argenta didn't expect that.
"Wow, what a clever move." Dawn said.
"This is something Ash learned from a coordinator in the Hoenn region." Brock informed her. 
"Use Bounce Grumpig." Ash said.
Grumpig sprung up on her tail and got ready to battle Gardevoir.
"Teleport Gardevoir." Argenta said.
Gardevoir teleported out of the way.
"Now Confusion." Gardevoir lifted Grumpig into the air.
"If Ash doesn't come up with something soon, he's in trouble." Brock said.
"Power Gem." Ash quickly told Grumpig.
Silver energy hit Gardevoir. Grumpig was no longer in the air.
"Now Grumpig, Shadow Ball." Ash said.
Grumpig fired a dark purple ball at Gardevoir.
"Keep at it Grumpig." Ash said.
Grumpig fired another dark purple ball at Gardevoir.
"Gardevoir, use Psychic." Argenta said.
"Psybeam, Grumpig." Ash said.
Before Gardevoir was able to use Psychic, Grumpig fired a rainbow beam at Gardevoir. The beam caused Gardevoir to become dizzy and confused. 
"Now Grumpig, use Bounce." Grumpig used her tail to jump high into the air and tackle Gardevoir really hard. Gardevoir then fainted, so Ash was the winner.
"Alright, Ash did it." Dawn said.
"I told you he would." Tomo smiled.
Matt was impressed with Ash and his Pokemon. Argenta returned her Gardevoir and walked over to Ash.
"Ash, you and your Pokemon put on a good show while battling me." She said. "That's the reason I'm presenting you with the Battle Hall plaque."
The maids presented Ash a gold plaque with a picture of the Battle Hall on a cushion and Ash took the plaque.
"Everyone give Ash a round of applause for his victory." Argenta said.
The audience clapped loudly for Ash, even Brock, Tomo, Dawn and Matt.
Ash obtained his second Battle Frontier plaque.
