This story is the sequel to my previous story named ANCIENT. It's been a year since the defeat of The Reincarnation…a year since the liberation of Trilomite island…a year since the murder of the head leader…and a year since Ash and May have show their love for each other. Now Ash (and Pikachu with him), May, Brock, and Max return to the island to visit their friends. I'd advise anyone who hasn't read my previous story to read that before reading this so you'll have a better understanding of this story.

It was already past noon and it was starting to get dark. Ash and friends have already left the ship and are on the pier getting ready to leave to Harry and Jessica's place.

"Its been so long, I wonder if they're still living back at that house from before" Brock said.

"You guys remember where it was right?" Max asked.

"Yep, we remember, Max" May turned her head to her brother answering him. She was walking holding on to Ash's hand.

"Its been a year since we've seen them, they're gonna be so surprised to us again" Ash says smiling.

"Right May?" Ash asks his lover.

"Of course" May answers him and they have their heads closer together as they walk.

Ash and May were still in love, their relationship strengthened after they left Trilomite Island and especially since they've returned to the place where they admitted their love for each other, there is definitely going to be some more love making between the two trainers.

"I can't wait for us to be alone again back in their bedroom…" May says as she creeps closer to Ash.

"I definitely can't wait either…" Ash crept closer to May too as they walked.

Max and Brock saw what the two were doing but didn't hear what they say since it was too quiet that only the couple heard it.

"Come on, Brock…they've been holding on to each other a lot since after we left this island…they've always shared the same room in every house we've been into and I always hear them in the room in a bed every night we sleep…please tell me about it…" Max begs Brock.

"Don't you remember what I told you last time we were here?" Brock asks the young boy.

"Yes Yes, wait until I'm older! Well I'm a year older now so why cant you just tell me already?!" Max complains.

"Its best to tell you when you become either thirteen or fourteen" Brock tells him.

"Oh come on…" Max wasn't so pleased.

"Patience is all you'll need, Max, patience" Brock says.

The group leaves the pier and heads to the Zeriman house.

"This is gonna be so exciting! Ash, why don't you knock on the door" May says.

Instead of knocking, Ash rings the doorbell and everyone begins to giggle.

If you listened good enough you could hear people heading to the door. The doorknob moved and the door opened and two familiar people were standing right in front of the gang.

"Ash! Brock! Max! May!" It was Harry and Jessica who were surprised to see their old friends!

Ash's Pikachu jumped into Jessica's hands showing how happy it was to see her.

"Its great to see you too, Pikachu!" Jessica said to the Mouse pokemon.

"Come on in!" Jessica says in a polite way to the foursome.

"Long time no see!" Harry said to them.

"Uncle Roark! You'll never guess who's here!" Jessica called.

Roark had come from upstairs and saw the foursome that he met with during their last visit and was shocked.

"It's been a very long time! How's it going?!" Roark says to the gang as he was happy they were in the house.

Everyone got settled and began to talk to each other.

"So what brings you guys back here?" Roark asks.

"We wanted to visit you guys, its been a year since we last saw any of you" May answers.

"How come you're still here on this island, Roark? Don't you have a gym back at Sinnoh you have to be at?" Max asked him.

"I wanted to spend more time here before I leave, besides, I couldn't leave my nephew and niece here so I decided to stay longer, I plan on leaving with Jess and Harry back to Sinnoh next year, so for the time being I'm living with them here" Roark answers him.

"I see you two are still together" Jessica says seeing Ash and May holding hands as they sat down.

Ash and May didn't say a word but smile at Jessica and then stared at each other as they couldn't wait for tonight to do what they love to do together.

"It took days to clean up the city of all those dead bodies left by those monsters from last year" Harry said.

"You wouldn't believe the death toll" Roark said.

"But without all of your help, we couldn't of ever beaten The Reincarnation, now this island is peaceful" Jessica said.

"I'm glad we were able to help" Ash said taking his eyes off of May for one moment.

"So have you guys gotten any stronger since last time? We have" Jessica asks them.

"Yeah, we've been training since we've left Trilomite Island" Ash answers.

"How's Heradici doing?" May asks the Harry, Jessica, and Roark.

"I don't know, something has really been bothering him and it was right after you guys left the island after we beat The Reincarnation" Roark said.

"We don't know what's been bothering him, and it dosen't seem like he's going to let it go" Jessica says.

"Must be really serious whatever it is" Max says.

Ash's stomach began to growl, he was hungry and didn't get anything to eat since the cruise that was several hours ago.

"Ha Ha! We can fix that! We have food that's almost done in the kitchen!" Harry said.

Everyone hurries into the kitchen and gets ready for a feast.

"It seems you guys wanted to spend the night? That's fine, you all get to spend as much time as you'd like here, you're always welcome!" Jessica shows her kindness to the gang and everyone begins to eat.

They spend up to fifteen minutes eating dinner and five minutes after eating dessert.

"Its starting to get late, I'm going to bed" Roark says after everyone had finished eating.

"Me too" Harry says.

"Me three" Jessica says.

The foursome agreed with the three Zerimans and decided to find a bedroom to stay in and get to sleep.

Max and Brock took separate rooms, Harry and Jess had the same room, Roark had the room his brother used to sleep in and of course Ash and May had the same room.

Everyone had already changed and they all were asleep except for Ash and May. They were in their room in the bed watching television.

Ash was flipping through the channels until he stopped at a channel that caught the couple's attention.

"Are you a poke couple who love to battle with each other? Well here's your chance to spread your wings at the poke couple tournament! A tournament for pokemon couples to battle against other pokemon couples. The winner of the tournament gets the beautiful crystal shown here, it was mined and cost of it would be up to $500 if sold!" the ad shows a picture of a reddish and bluish crystal with a pinkish shine in it.

"Its so pretty…" May said.

"If you're interested, it'll be at the grand Trilomite park outside of the city, all poke couple are allowed to join! It starts tomorrow at noon. Don't be late and show us some battles!" the ad was over and Ash turned the TV off.

"We've gotta enter! With us together no one can beat us! I'd so love to have that crystal too…" May said.

"Sure, why not? We'll enter the tournament tomorrow" Ash said.

"I can't wait!" May said.

The two then stared at each other for almost minute and just remembered the fact that they were finally alone and they can finally do what they've been waiting to do all day.

May begins to strip her bedtime clothes off revealing her well-developed and sexy body. Only her pink bra, panties, and red bandana were left on her.

May helps Ash pull off his nighttime shirt and pants revealing only his boxers.

The two then held onto each other rolling on the bed making out. Their skin touched one another giving them a pleasurable feeling.

Their arms and legs were wrapped one another and they continued to kiss. They were so happy that they were finally alone so they can have their privacy doing what they just love to do together.

"Lets not stop here…" May wanted to take the rest of her clothes off.

"I wanna kick it up a notch…" Ash felt the same way.

The two get under the covers and the rest of their clothes were tossed on the floor. Pikachu was on the bed asleep and the two be careful not to wake it up.

We all know what happens next after that and we go back outside.

Back at the island where Team Rocket and The Reincarnation's big battle takes place, Heradici comes out of the water after searching for something in the water. Since he's untouchable he couldn't get wet.

"The body's nowhere down there…He couldn't of been eaten completely…there's gotta be some bones…something left from him here besides the helmet…The news said they never found the body…If they never found the body then there's a chance that…he's still alive…but how…" Heradici says in frustration.

Somewhere in another time period…a giant spaceship is present in the great reaches of outer space. A man in a cloak and another strange figure in the shadows were standing right next to each other onboard staring at a portal that's starting to open, the two had a dark evil energy surrounding their bodies.

They watch a hologram recording of whats going on in the pokemon world watching Ash and May.

"They've come back...I'm so glad..." the cloaked man said.

"So the herodax crystal is there...we just need to swipe it and use it on you, once we've done that, your powers will be replenished" the non cloaked asks.

"How long will it be now until the portal completely opens?" the one not wearing a cloak asked to the passengers.

"Two days from now my lord" an alien asks him.

"I can't wait to have my revenge on them…they will pay…" the man in the cloak says.

"And once you've restored your powers, you'll be able to kill Eteric and Reovonno…the two remaining elementians…after that nothing will stand in my way of universal domination…so what do you plan on doing once you go back?" the other figure says.

"I'm going to take it over and with my new powers nothing will be able to stand in my way…" the cloaked man says.

"Your goals will be reached and you'll be able to have your revenge…isn't that right…James Zeriman?" the other figure says to the cloaked man.

"Oh yes…" the cloaked man said and the two let out an evil laugh.

This is the ending of the first chapter. The head leader has survived?! But how?! Learn how in the next chapter! I'm sure all of those who liked my first story didn't think I'd make a sequel to it. Well I hope you all enjoy this sequel. Please review!
