Blackthorn!!!

Blackthorn!!!

The challenge's post-poned that day, in respect of Leo's son's birth. He stays with his wife, until the next day...

Leo is driven to Blackthorn in the limo, he and his friends walk out as Leo says "I think I should be back with my son... It's kinda strange to be here after THIS happened!", Matt then explained "Brother, you can't stay there! You have to finish the challenge, they want to do it before Clair gets bored and no one can see you guys fight!". Leo replies "Alright, but this'll be the last fight... I hafta concentrate on those two now...", Brock suddenly runs up to Leo as the crowd cheers upon seeing Leo arrive, "Hey! Congratulations on your firstborn arrival!", Leo smiles "Thanks! Avata's so cute!". Brock laughs "Hope that changes when he gets older, he gotta be able to get ladies when he gets older!", Leo laughed "He'll have no trouble if he's like me and Celia!". Brock then asks "You're really gonna stop fighting though? When Avata gets older, you'll be abe to go off traveling like now...", Leo replies "Yeah... I wated to live peacefully... Battle's are fun, but I never wanted to do it, even back 2 years ago...". Pryce watches them talking "I can't wait to watch him fight, this will be the Final Fight for the Legendary Celestial Leonard! It's gonna be cool!", Leo and Brock talk until Clair yells "Leonard! Are you ready!?". They both jump, Brock turns to see Clair and immediately falls to his knees! Leo replies "Yeah! Um...", Clair sighed "I am Clair. The world's best dragon! I can hold my own against even Legends! Do you still want to take me on, or your child's too important? We already waited far longer than needed!". Leo leered "Yeah! Let's fight, I'm getting excited! Something about you feels nostalgic!", Clair wondered... then says  "...Fine. Let's do it! As a Fighter, I will use my full power against any opponent!". Brock giggles "Vision of loveliness♡! That feeling he must feel is only a spark of my inferno of burning hot passion for you♡!", Clair stares at him "You again? Why're you here?". Brock immediately hops backward as he remembers "I'll be the referree", he Teleports behind the barrier... "This is a battle between Clair of Blackthorn and Leonard of Mistralton, the battle ends when either fighter's unable to battle: Begin!". Leo flourished huge Ho-oH wings, Clair grew Dragonair wings, Kingdra eyes, Kuyrem wings, Shiny Druddigon claws and Talons, and Giritina tail, fangs and skin!!! Leo used Fly, Clair used DragonTail!!! They slammed together!!! Blackthorn shook from the hit!!!! They start trading hits, Leo using ThunderPunch and FirePunch, Clair using DragonClaw and SacredSword!!! Each hit slings blood from both fighters, Leo suddenly used MegaPunch!!! Clair quickly blocks with DynamicPunch!!! The Explosion from the hit tears open the city, light reflected off the fighters as the float in mid-air... Then start trading hits again, she suddenly prepares DragonClaw!! Leo almost blocked when she stops and used DragonPulse!!!! Leo's slammed throught the ground, she falls on him using All-Out-Pummeling!!! Leo writhes as he thought "Shit... she has Roughskin!!! I can't keep using physical Attacks...", he used MegaKick to knock her up into the air!!! Then follows up with AerialAce!!! She used SkyUppercut, Leo sees her hand then used FocusPunch!!! Their fist hit together, the shockwave breaks the mountain and causes a avalanche in NewBark!!! Clair as they continued to fight, she glared and used InfernoOverdrive!!! Leo flies HIGH over the blast as it destroys the Ice Path!!! He used PschoCutter to counter, as she quickly looked up!!! Clair deflects it as she laughs "Don't hold back, I know your full power!!!" she suddenly used DarkPulse!!! Leo flies back, antil she used ExtremeSpeed to zoom in front of him using DragonClaw FAST!!! Leo defends via DynamicPunch and FirePunch!!! Meanwhile, Celia wheels by Matt, Aspen and Brandi... Matt happens to notice her... "Celia!!!? What tha heck are you doing here?!", she replies "They wouldn't let me see the baby just yet, so I decided I should at least see somebody in my family!". Aspen asks "Y... you snuck out to see the fight live!? How's Avata?", Celia giggles "He's fine♪! I saw him, before I left...". Matt stares at the sky "I wish you came for the other fights... Brother's doing badly in this one...", they try to keep up with the blood spraying everywhere and sparks!!! Celia stares... Brandi adds as the woman starts to catch on to where he is... "We would cheer for him, but sometimes it distracts him... We mostly try to let him concentrate during imposssible shit like this...". Celia watches as Leo fights, the bloody man used ThunderPunch, Clair used Crunch to break his hand!!! Leo snatched back and counters using FirePunch and DynamicPunch!!! Clair laughed as she easily dodged, until it was as if time stopped... Leo hits her HARD!!!! She implodes from the hit, the half-naked bloody Gymleader used DragonClaw and SacredSword to parry!!! They both strike each othe, every slice, every hit bringing more blood from the fighters, She suddenly stabs through him via DragonClaw!!! Leo used Thunder to knock her away, Clair glared as she used Never-Ending-Nightmare to hold Leo as she used SacredSword and SecretSword to cut the Pilot!!! Leo snatched from the tentacles using BlueFlare, and used DynamicPunch!!! She stabs through Leo's arm, he glares and quickly used his other to use FocusPunch!!! Clair's knocked back, then used Outrage!!! She starts beating Leo horribly, he falls to the ground!!! Clair leaps on him and used SkyUppercut again, then leaps over the floating man and used Outrage again!!! Leo starts to black out, as she tears the wings off his back!!! Celia finally sees the fighters... "You can do it, Leo♥!!!", Leo used Return, he punched through Clair using FirePunch!!! She used Vicegrip to crush him, but is Paralyzed via Leo using ParabolicCharge!!! Clair used OminousWind to increase her strength, then DarkPulse!!! Leo tears through the attack, as Return still glows inside him!!! She fires DragonPulse, Inferno, ShadowBall, ConfuseRay, and Swift through his body, Leo keeps going as blood spray from him, and chunks of his body are torn off, until he strikes through the woman!!! A Explosion knocks both fighters into the ground... Brock stares at Clair as she reverted... he blushed at the half-naked, bloody woman and stares in awe... Pryce punched him "You hafta announce the results!", Brock shook his head! "Clair's unable to battle, Leonard's the winner!". Leo stood up, Lance suddenly walks to him... "You did well, Leonard!". He jumps and turns "Who're?", "I'm Lance, Champion of Kanto... because Red left...". Leo looks scared "Do I hafta still fight you too?", Lance laughs "No... Those 4 FAR surpassed my level... I could only see random explosions like everybody else during the fight!". Clair finally sat up "Here... you deserve this... I guess...", she gives the Rising Badge. Leo takes it "Awesome, I got the Rising Badge!!!". She leers as she stood "I challenge you to a rematch!!! After I become a Celestial..." she stares at Lance... "I wish you didn't have malicious intent for your cousin..." he sighs. Brock comes up to and talks with the fighters... Leo's friends come to greet him... when Leo hears his cell ringing...

Leo answers it... "Hello?", he hears a creepy voice "Leonard Flyte: We want revenge for what you've done to us, come to Team Plasma's Castle before tomorrow...", Leo almost replies when the voice continues "Don't tell anyone, we know you're "friends" will come though... they're the only other 1s we'll allow, we want those morons just as badly! Don't ignore this, or we WILL kill your son! That "child" in that hospital is a stand in. Come as soon as possible, or your Avata WILL die!". Leo walks away as they hung up, he hangs up as he smiles and waves at the crowds... His friends notice the change on his face... And follow him towards the edge of the mountain... "Brother, what's wrong?!" Matt asks, Leo replies "No... I got a call that Avata's been kidnapped, they said they didn't care if I told you guys: they want all of us...". Aspen adds "This has to be mistake, right?!", Brandi replied "No... I hafta assume it's Rocket or Plasma: nobody else was attacked by us...". Celia walks to them "I'm coming too!", Leo turns "Wait, you don't need to ri...". She glares "I do! I can't wait while more people I love die!", Leo looks at the sky "We're going then...". Matt informed them as Leo takes a stance "I realized the stand-in we probably saw in the hospital could be Substitute... We have to hurry if they had him since last night!", Leo grows Shiny Ho-oH wings as the Coldworker finished! Celia climbs on his back, as his friends climb on the HUGE wings!!! He takes off toward Plasma's empty castle!!!
