Venusaur vs Torterra

*One day...*

Cynthia and Aaron were having their battle. Cynthia sent out her Garchomp while Aaron sent out his Drapion. Millions of people were watching at the stadium and on television. In a Pokemon Center Paul was watching the battle on TV. Then, the gang entered the Pokemon Center just in time to watch the battle. Paul noticed their arrival but wasn't interested in them at the moment. Ash noticed Paul, but he was only interested in the battle. In the end it was down to Gastrodon and Beautifly. Garchomp had been defeated, but in the process Aaron's Drapion, Vespiquen, Heracross, Yanmega and Scizor had fainted. Beautifly was Aaron's last Pokemon.

"Beautifly, Solar Beam." Aaron ordered.

Gastrodon used Stone Edge to defend itself against the attack. Then Stone Edge hit Beautifly. It fainted and Aaron lost the battle. Cynthia was keeping her title as Sinnoh Champion.

Team Rocket watched the battle too. They had disguised themselves as Pokemon Center employees.

"Well, well, well Aaron was defeated by Cynthia, huh?" James smirked.

"His Pokemon didn't stand a chance." Jessie smirked as well.

"I thank the champion for teaching him a lesson for us." Meowth also smirked.

He remembered Aaron defeating them when they first met.

"So even Aaron can't defeat Cynthia?" Ash noted.

"Especially after all that training and being excited having his Beautifly back." Dawn said.

"I believe Cynthia won't be losing her title for a long time." Brock said.

"Somehow I think even the other Pokemon champions would have a hard time beating her." Ash said.

Just then Paul appeared.

"Paul." Ash said.

He didn't say a word and walked away.

"What's up with him this time?" Tomo asked.

"No idea." Ash said.

"As he was watching the battle I wonder if he remembers the battle he had with Cynthia." Brock said.

"Wouldn't surprise me really." Ash said. "Especially since Garchomp didn't break a sweat against all of Paul's Pokemon."

The others agreed.

A moment later the gang went outside to train. Ash's Turtwig was running around like crazy.

"What's wrong with Turtwig?" Dawn asked.

"Ah, he's trying to make myself stronger to be like my Venusaur." Ash said. "You see, my Venusaur is the peacemaker at Prof. Oak's lab as well as one of my strongest Pokemon. Turtwig wants to be like Venusaur."

"Oh I see." Dawn said. "Hey Ash, can I see your Venusaur? I'd like to see it myself."

"Sure I'll bring him here right away." Ash said.

Ash got out his Pokedex and swapped his Gliscor for Venusaur. Then he released Venusaur from his Poke Ball.

"Hi Venusaur." Ash said, giving him a hug.

Venusaur was happy to see him.

"Oh wow Ash, your Venusaur is amazing." Dawn said.

What he didn't know was that Paul had been watching him and saw Venusaur. Brock noticed Paul and walked over to him.

"That Venusaur." Paul said.

"Ash caught Venusaur when it was a Bulbasaur during his journey through Kanto." Brock said.

Paul stared at Venusaur some more and walked over to it. Ash and Dawn were fussing when he approached them.

"Paul, what's up?" Dawn asked.

He ignored her.

"Your Venusaur." He said to Ash. "I take it it's strong, right?"

"Yes Venusaur is strong thank you." Ash said. "And I will prove it in a Pokemon battle."

Venusaur growled.

"Very well." Paul said. "I'd like to see how your Venusaur does against my Torterra."

"Agreed." Ash said.

It wasn't long until Ash and Paul were in position and Venusaur and Torterra were ready to fight.

"Why am I not surprised Ash and Paul would battle each other when they met up again." Dawn said.

Piplup chirped in agreement.

"Paul's going to be sorry this time." Tomo said. "Venusaur's no pushover."

"Yes, especially since it's a grass/poison type." Brock said.

Ash's Turtwig wanted to watch the battle so he stood on the sideline. Unbeknownst to them, Jessie, James and Meowth were spying on everyone.

"Well, well it seems a Pokemon battle is about to begin." James said.

"Let's watch it." Meowth said, eager to know what would happen.

Jessie and James agreed with the idea.

"Hyper Beam." Paul told Torterra.

"Venusaur, Protect." Ash ordered.

"Venusaur, use Power Whip." He said.

Venusaur attacked Torterra with Power Whip and it just stood there taking the hit.

"Humph not bad I guess." Paul said, rudely. "Torterra, use Crunch."

Torterra went towards Venusaur to bite down on it.

"Venusaur tackle it." Ash said.

Venusaur and Torterra collided with each other; Venusaur trying to push Torterra with Torterra trying to push Venusaur back.

"Venusaur and Torterra are both strong." Brock said.

"Venusaur, use Sludge Bomb." Ash said.
