First I don't own Pokemon or whatever may be recognized.

Second I do that to improve my Active English so I'm in need of a Beta, if you propose PM me.

Eternal Bond; Book 1: ApprenticeshipChapter 1: Cynthia Shirona

At the plane's window of the flight Sinnoh-Kanto, one young blond woman in her late teens reflects on her situation observing her home region disappear on the horizon.

-What is the right decision? It is the right choice, isn't it? I have taken the right path? She asks herself remembering her last fight that has brought her to this plane.

One month ago.

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the conclusion of this fantastic week. After defeating all members of the Elite Four, our young Challenger, Cynthia Shirona is ready to brave our Champion Sir Maximilian.

First, a short reminder of the rule: it's a six to six pokemon fight! The challenger is the first to choose his first pokemon! None substitution is authorized, all retreat voluntary is considered as abandon! Potions and other poke object are forbidden during the match! The first to defeat all pokemons of the adversary will be declared Champion of the Sinnoh region!

Ready? Let's the fight Begiiiiin!

On the ground of the arena, two figures face each other, one is a young woman with two black barrettes in her blond hair and the other is a venerable man in his late fifties with white hair and the traditional garments of the Aura Knights. Both opponents seem to evaluate each other by look when suddenly the young woman throws a ball in the sky.

-Prepare to fight Roselia!

-Stand up for our honor Tyranitar!

-Roselia Sunny day and Petal Dance!

-Counter with Aerial Ace and chain with Dark Pulse!

On the battle ground the sun shine brighter and multitude of pink petals are launch from the rose-hand from the small plant-woman toward the great lizard. But after the impact of the first petals, the rock pokemon seems to suddenly disappear to abruptly hit his adversary, sending her in the air before launching a ray of dark energy that impact the defenseless plant pokemon.

-Roselia recovers using Synthesis, then hop back to the sun and use flash!

Obeying her mistress the small pokemon bring her posture back with a green aura around her before jumping in front of the sun and releasing a very, very bright light that make the tyranitar scream in agony.

-Calm yourself! Good! Now at my signal you use an Earthquake attack! ... Now!

The moment that the plant pokemon land on the ground, the rock lizard creates a tremor, perturbing and weakening his opponent.

-Roselia tries to end this with Solarbeam!

-Tyranitar counters and finishes this fight with Giga impact!

The roselia launch a powerful beam of condensed light but the Tyranitar jump and with a yellow and red aura surrounding him accelerate trough the beam and impact the small pokemon who faint after the choc.

Cynthia returns her pokemon, bringing the ball to her lips for a small kiss and a low thank you before switching it with another, "Your turn Milotic, Aqua Tail". A beautiful aqua snake appears before like commanded she rush forward the rock pokemon, her tail glowing blue.

-Stop it with a Stone Edge!

With a powerful stomp, several stalagmites emerge of the ground between the two pokemons but the gracious pokemon manage to zigzag between the rocks to reach her target. A fraction of time before the attack touch Maximilian's pokemon, the later hears the command to use hidden power and acting he create several glowing orbs that impact with the milotic. The choc of the attacks explode, throwing both damaged opponent at the extremities of the battle ground.

-Strange, this hidden power was too effective. This must be a plant or electric nature! I need to end this quick! Milotic, Hydro pump chained with Ice beam.

The snake, recovering quickly launch a powerful blast of water, followed up by a beam of Ice that freeze the water, creating a immense ice missile going right toward the rock lizard. Tiranitar try to dodge but the damage of the late attack immobilize him and he is Knocked Out by the water-Ice combination.

The rest of the fight continued on the same idea. After tyranitar, Maximilian send a scizor and with a combination of Sword Dance, Agility, Fury Cutter and a tactic of hit and run tried to quickly terminate milotic but a powerful Dragon tail at the last minute ended the fight in a double K.O. The two next pokemons were a Weavile for Maximilian and a Togetic for Cynthia. Despite the strength and the speed of the ice-dark pokemon and after some close call of Ice punch or Slach, the togetic won thanks to her little known Fairy type. However the next pokemon of Maximilian, a powerful Gallade succeed, with a combination of a marvelous sword play and a skilled use of teleport, to easily vanquish both her togetic and Lopunny. It's thanks to her Spiritomb and a tough battle that the mythic blade pokemon was send down but swiftly the challenger was reduce to one pokemon after that like in the opposition of weavile and togetic, her spiritomb was knocked by a gardevoir and her unknown fairy type.

Bringing her final pokeball to her lips, Cynthia whisper her last prayer: "Please, I'm counting on you. Prepare to fight Gabite!"

-It's time to end this, Gardevoir use hypnosis!

-Don't let her get you! Quick underground use Dig!

-Continue to move and use Heal Pulse.

On the devastated battle ground the fairy lady, surrounded by a pale pink glow, spell a game of cat and mouse with the land-shark that demonstrates all the validity of his title. The white pokemon zigzag between stalagmites, craters and ice shard waiting for the best moment to strike, while the land Dragon appear and disappear from the ground trying to hit his enemy in a remake of Jaws.

-Enough, launch several Psychics in the tunnel!

-Counter with Earth Power.

While several balls of psychic energy hurry toward and in the tunnels of Gabite, a yellow energy begin to break through the ground under Gardevoir, until a huge explosion, send both pokemon toward the sky.

-Gabite closes to her and ends with Slash.

-Gardevoir concludes with Moonblast.

Then that the dragon was about to slash her with his glowing claw, the fairy hit him with a blast of pink and silver energy throwing the shark land on the ground with a heavy impact while the psy pokemon land with softness with a blue aura around her.

For a moment, Cynthia think that the battle was over when her pokemon begin to stand up with difficulty

-Please Gabite, stand up, I count on you, I believe in you! She Shout.

The land Dragon dive his eyes his in those of his mistress, there he read her confidence in him and a hint of despair. Then the pokemon take a decision that he has postponed until now. Suddenly the land Shark began to glow an ethereal white, he grow and his fin expend. Before that the glow disappear, the pokemon run toward the gardevoir and bite her with a dark glow, knocking her out.

-Gab…, Garchomp, thank you. Courage just one more and victory is ours.

Maximilian smile;" such a confidence is good to see and a wish you good luck but before there is one final obstacle. Defend our honor partner."

In front of Cynthia and her Garchomp a very powerful and very well trained Lucario appear. She observe her pokemon, he was fatigued from his precedent fight and his recent evolution. She is sure that her pokemon will do a good fight but she knows that in the end they will lose and she has none desire to risk harming further her friend.

-I yield! Shout the challenger for all to hear.

Have you all hear, what a conclusion for this marvelous battle. Then she is at the threshold of a possible victory, our courageous challenger, in concern and love for her pokemon, chooses to concede her defeat. What an honorable attitude, I believe that she merits as mush applause that our Champion who stay Champion, our beloved Sir Maximilian.

While the public cheer for both battlers Cynthia approach her starter, checking he has no lasting damage and mourning with him their lose. After having returning her pokemon, she was about to leave when she hears a clapping just behind her. Startled she turns around to be face to face with Maximilian who has a huge smile on his visage and a bow at his feet.

-What a truly fantastic fight my dear. I'm certain that for very little things, our situation would have been reversed.

-Thank you for your kinds words but I'm not sure. I've seen how well trained your lucario has been and even if it pain me to say it, I would have still lost.

-It's true, you would have lost, after a rough battle but still lost. However I know that you have the talent and the skill to overcome that and I believe that all you miss to finally beat me is one little thing.

Cynthia was shocked, as mush by the honesty that by the words of encouragement. "Y, you really believe that, that one day I could beat you" she stuttered wondering what miss her.

-I do, now the question is "what is this little thing?" isn't it? Smiling even further in front of her shocked face, the venerable champion continued. For me it's quite obvious but for you it's quite likely to be obscure. For me the little thing that you miss is a different point of view on pokemon battle and the life of a pokemon trainer.

-What? Another point of view? Which point of view? I travel since almost six years now and I've participated at numerous battle or research. I miss which point of view on my trainer's life?

-Like I said, it must be quite ambiguous for you but do not ponder that now, the respond will come and you will understand when the time comes. For that goal, you have two choices. First you become a member of the Elite Four with the duty that comes with it. Second you continue to travel and experiment. Both paths can be long or short but both paths should bear you an answer.

-I,I don't think I could be a Elite Four, I would be too afraid to be like Terry stuck in this position as prestigious it is.

-Ah, don't mind this old carne, she is happy like this and her challenging me is more for show, Maximilian laughed making Cynthia smile.

-Nevertheless, I think I prefer traveling.

-It's your choice. Before you leave two last things, first you have gained the right to officially challenge me whenever you like and I will try to hold the post for you; he said with a warm smile. Second, the old trainer continued and taking the box, I would like you accept this.

Inside the box was a pokemon egg, an egg of riolu if Cynthia believed in the colors. The young woman was beyond chocked. The eggs of riolu were rare because the lucario mate for life and product rarely more than three litter with one or two egg per litter. In the nature the wild lucario guard their eggs, whose can incubate during two years, with ferocity and raise their cub for two to five year between each litter. If a trained lucario may consent to give up one or two of his eggs, this present stayed priceless.

-My lucario and his mate, my gardevoir have had their last litter two year ago, exceptionally there were three eggs and they have accepted that if I find a worthy trainer I could offer one. This little guy should hatch soon. I know you will educate him in a prime pokemon.

-Th, Thank you, I promise when I will challenge you again, he will be an ace in my team, Cynthia swore with the egg in her arm. His answer was one last warm smile.

Present time

-Even now one month later, I don't know what I miss. I begin my journey at 12 year, just after that the Pokemon League regulate the minimum age for all regions, a chance because before the minimum age for Sinnoh was 14 year. After my first participation at the region challenge and having honorably terminated at Eighth place of the Lily Conference, I have become during six month a naturalist for the professor Rowan. Then with my passion for archeology I've left for Johto for 18 month studying the ruin and myth of the region and participating at the Silver Conference. My last league before my retake of the Lily Conference was Hoenn where after having been defeated at the finals I've work for the Devon Corporation, traveling here and then and I've befriended Steven, son of president of the corporation and current Champion of Hoenn. When I left, he gave me a precious gift, a shiny stone. If I've not yet use it was because before nor roselia or togetic desired it, now I don't want create jealousy. Truly what I miss? I hope that an internship under professor Oak will give me an answer.

Phew, that is the first chapter of a (I hope) trilogy to respond at my challenge. I don't know when the next chapter will be, I will try to not be too long. The length of the chapters will be varying with my imagination but I will try to make a minimum of 2000 words. Like I've said in the disclaimer it's a project to try to improve my active English, so I'm in serious need of a beta reader.

Also, under this note, there is a small challenge for an M-MA ranked fic, the title is explicit but please read the instructions (limitations) before you judge.

Ash and his pokephilous journey.

First and more important I would like a fic with plot and the occasional smut, not the contrary and certainly not just a smut filled fic.

The principle is simple I would like a retold of the anime mixed with the game, the manga and a bit UA from your imagination but in a world where the pokephilia is common but not necessary makes public a bit per modesty and a bit for the initiation and experiment of the kids. In reason of the frequent pokephilia of the seasoned trainer, the minimal age to begin a journey is regulated to 14-15 year old.

The sexual maturity of the pokemons is explicated like this:

-none of the baby pokemons are physiologically and mentally mature to act sexually.

-The pokemons with three stage of evolution are; at the first stage in infancy and incapable to act sexually; after the first evolution in the adolescence and their libido is unstable and vary with their grow and other factor; at the final stage of evolution they are in the adulthood and their libido are controlled according to their need (wild) and or desire (tamed).

-The pokemons without evolution mature like a human, sometimes a bit more quickly.

-The pokemons with a unique evolution mature too like a human but their evolution bypass one stage i.e. a vulpix in his infancy will be in his adolescence after evolution in ninetails.

-In the wild the pokemons follow a cycle of heat and other rule proper to their species. After capture a pokemon tends to start to mate for the pleasure.

-In the wild and in a reserve/ranch the pokemon mate amongst themselves but in presence of their trainer, the tamed pokemons prefer to mate with the later.

-Some pokemons have not the physiology to mate and their mechanism of reproduction is unknown. Currently only the pokemons with a physiology a minimum animals or human are knows to mate.

-The use of Mega-evolution in a sexual intercourse is strongly discouraged; the boost that the pokemon feel is not controllable.

For Ash I would like this accommodation:

-His unique permanent companion must be Serena or Anabel or Dawn. One of these girls must be there from the beginning of his journey and must be his best friend, mate and love interest.

-Ash and his mate can travel with other character and they can fuck with other human but they are the unique constancy for each other in their love life.

-Ash is straight in his relation with human but is bi in his relations with his pokemon.

-Ash must having another starter (but not necessary a common starter) additionally to Pikachu

Other details:

Please, you must be logic with the relation size between a trainer and his pokemon, the physiology of the pokemon and their type when you imagine a physical relation between a human and a pokemon. I'm sure that Ash can stimulate Pikachu and in return but I don't think that a penetration is possible.

Also sometimes the size of the pokemon that is show in the pokemon must be the average size at the evolution, in the anime you can see an adult who travel on the back of a pidgeott so the pidgeott must be a last 2 meter tall and not 1.50 meter.

Finally I would like if someone respond to this challenge to read a fic at the level of Solaceon Daycare's Excellent Adventures with just more plot but it exclude not the occasional chapter that is just a long lemon. Also for the straighter author, I don't mind if you chose to just imagine a harem full female for Ash but I hope for one good story with a semi bi Ash.
