1. Chapter 1

Author's Notes: It's finally happened, I've made the most overpowered Pokémon Master story I can at present imagine; this is Omniarch signing in with a brand-new story for you all. This one is an alternate Ash Infinity story of sorts, and the story itself will be called AIB-Two, the Omni-Omniverse's Mightiest Pokémon Master. Out of all the Omega Omnispheres I've imagined and the alternate UV's with Double-O Champions; this guy outranks them all in the competence category and even my Self-Insert Thomas Infinity is not quite in this guy's league. I only just came up with the premise of this story right now on March 18, 2017 at 10 PM; so, it's going to be a while before I post the first chapter online.

This will be an alternate Ash IB of a very different set, and the setting will be in the Pokémon Adventures (Manga) universe of all things, and it's going to be Ash and Yellow as the main couple. Game mechanics will apply, including IVs, EVs, levels, and even stats. Pokémon with similar or identical numbers in certain stats will be approximately the same level of power in those stats, and species maximums will be attainable by breeding and Hyper Training which does exist in this universe. Most of the Dexholders will have perfect or near-perfect IVs for all their Pokémon's stats; along with being at level 100 for most of the more battle-oriented members. Also, gen 1 stat mechanics people; so, no pesky 510 cap or limit on a Pokémon's EV's. Every Pokémon in all 7 generations and from Kanto to Alola and beyond can receive Maximum EVs in ALL their stats.

That said, Pokémon won't strictly follow the damage calculation system the games abide by and moves that would KO a Pokémon in the games can be resisted by Pokémon in this universe through sheer willpower; they're living creatures… not machines with a prefixed maximum limit, therefore as life forms, they're not always going to adhere to the numbers and equations humans use to measure their capabilities.

Generally, Pokémon can use stat boosters to up their stats by six stages each; not because they can't go higher than that but because doing so can put a massive strain on their bodies. Belly Drum for max attack is only recommended for one use per battle; going beyond a Pokémon's maximum safe stat boost range is only recommended in extreme, life-threatening situations. Also, Pokémon can hold more than one item during battle; it doesn't make sense for them to be unable to do so and it may work in the games… but not in a more realistic version of the Manga Pokémon universe.

UV Mechanics will not start coming into the equation until later in the story, and as this is a universe true to gaming mechanics; Pokémon can do all the things they're reputed to be capable of on the Pokedex. This means that, finite statistical numbers and equations aside; some Pokémon can have potentially devastating or world calamity level powers. Arceus will be able to create life and any Pokémon in existence in his base forms and have potentially Omniverse-busting power in his Ascension Form; Mega Mewtwo and Rayquaza as well as the Primal Reversions will be insanely strong, and their battling abilities within a Pokeball will potentially exceed Arceus's.

Since game mechanics apply, capturing legendary or mythical Pokémon in a Pokeball prevents them from using their full power; which always seemed an apt explanation for me when playing Platinum. Basically, Cyrus wished to summon and shackle Dialga and Palkia in Pokémon Platinum using the Red Chains; saying in his computer entry how capturing them in Pokeballs would prevent them from using their full power, thus preventing him from being able to remake the world. This always struck me as an awesome way of explaining how godlike beings of seemingly unfathomable power could be defeated in battle while inside a Pokeball.

Anyways, if you're all still on board with this story premise mates; then Omniarch is happy to present you with another Ash IB story… and this one trumps them all lol. I'm not planning on giving anything away, and this will take place after all the main arcs of the Pokémon Adventures universe are done. FYI, Yellow will be 18 in this, and will have grown significantly as a Trainer in that timeframe; as well as honed her psychic powers with a razer's edge.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, nor do I make any profit off this whatsoever.

Description: Having grown tremendously as a Trainer and a psychic over the past 4-years; Yellow thought she'd seen it all and was ready to profess her longtime crush on Red. However, the arrival of a strange man with a minor resemblance to Red is about to turn her world upside down, and thrust the Dexholders into a situation far more dangerous than any they'd ever faced before. They soon learn their 'Traveler' is more removed from his counterpart Red than they could've imagined.

Chapter One: Ordinary Days, Extraordinary People

"Pika, Nasty Plot into Megavolt." A male voice ordered, emanating from a battlefield in the Viridian City gym as a yellow mouse-like Pokémon vaulted forward towards his opponent. Red stood by confidently while the Pikachu's Nasty Plot boosts took effect, his Special Attack heightening considerably just in time for him to launch a massive yellow tower of lightning at least 10x more powerful than the average Thunderbolt. With Nasty Plot used in combination, Pika's Megavolt technique was through the roof in terms of power.

Red was currently 20-years-old, with jet black hair obscured by his signature red and white hat and red-eyes that were probably the reason for his name. He was known throughout the world as the battler, and was once the Champion of Kanto; he was also something of a leader among his fellow Dexholders. His Pikachu's Megavolt technique was a supercharged move he and Pika mastered compliments of their current opponent, who singlehandedly developed the technique by calling upon the power of Viridian Forest during a crucial battle with Lance of the Elite Four. The strength of the attack had allowed Lugia to absorb enough energy to revitalize the land of Kanto, and even to this day the Kanto Region was still thriving; all thanks to the special powers of a then 11-year-old girl.

"Chuchu, use Extremespeed to dodge, then Double-Team into Dig." Instructed his opponent, the Healer of the Dexholders known affectionately to all of them as Yellow. She was a petite young woman wearing her long golden hair down in a loose ponytail; her pure gold eyes glittering with excitement and a strong desire to win. She wore a yellow dress with green trim overtop her black long-sleeve tee-shirt, and her straw sun hat was lying on the floor of the Viridian City battling gym off to the side, ready for her to put back on when the battling was done.

She'd long since gotten out of the habit of trying to hide her gender from people, since her transformation from a little girl into a young woman of subtle yet stunning beauty; it just didn't work as well for her as it once did. The once small Yellow was all grown up now, yet Red never seemed to notice much to her endless frustration. He was all hung up on Blue; leaving Yellow with a heart filled with unreciprocated love and an endless reservoir of fight in her. She was going to fight for him, and do everything in her power to make him notice her more.

She thought about the advice Green had given her after he made Red and Blue's crushes on each other clear, that Red was a man of action who loved Pokémon and battling until the bitter end. He got Yellow thinking that maybe if she could show Red how good her battling skills had gotten recently, if she could best one of the number one Trainers on the planet… then he'd start to see her as the woman she now was, and not as that same little girl he rescued in Viridian Forest all those years-ago.

It was good advice; in theory… the only problem was she still wasn't strong enough. She and her Pokémon worked hard for this, and she'd even flown by with the excuse that she wanted to help protect the world by getting stronger, so nobody would tease her about her feelings. But even with all her improvements as both a Trainer and a Viridian Forest-borne Psychic, and despite being able to fight even though she didn't like seeing her Pokémon get hurt; she wasn't strong enough for him. She was never strong enough for him.

Her feelings poured through in her synergetic bond with Chuchu as the Pikachu dashed off in a whirl of speed that kicked up a microburst air current, using her speed to confound and disorient Pika before forming speed mirages, all of which burrowed underground at the same time. Yellow had to smile at her own improved ingenuity as a Trainer. She'd learned a lot from watching Red partake in various battles against the likes of Green at his Gym. She'd even gotten better at dealing with her Pokémon or her opponents' getting hurt, though that was still something she preferred to minimize at all costs. He, Gold, and Blue seemed to be some of the only Trainers capable of holding their own against Red; who remained the ever-quintessential hero in Yellow's eyes. If only he recognized her feelings for what they were; she was getting desperate at this point as Red grew a smirk.

"Use Iron Tail on the ground, then wrap this up with Focus Punch." Red commanded Pika. The male Pikachu gave Yellow an apologetic look before following his Trainer's instructions, jumping up above the stadium and driving an Iron Tail attack straight into the ground. Yellow gasped as the sheer force of the attack upheaved the entire gym's battle terrain and catapulted Chuchu into the air with a cry of surprise. Yellow could only watch as her opponent's Pikachu's tiny fist glowed with a concentrated amount of pure Fighting-type power before delivering a full powered Focus Punch into Chuchu's gut, sending her crashing down to the uneven ground with meteoric impact.

Yellow winced at the collision of her Pikachu with the ground, closing her eyes and flinching away while blinking back tears at the thought of losing yet another battle. She didn't need to see past the dust kicked up from the impact to sense Chuchu was down for the count; her psychic powers did that for her and filled any gaps her imagination might've had. She still hated seeing Pokémon getting hurt, either by Trainers or other Pokémon; but she hated not being strong enough for Red even more. According to Green, Red was the kind of person who admired strength in another person above all else; a girl who was able to hold her own on the battlefield.

He truly was a fighter who adored strong opponents, and that likely carried over into his love life as well. In simpler terms, Yellow knew she'd need to be a match for him; to be able to beat him in battle as often as he did her. But she didn't beat him so much as one time, and it was beginning to exhaust her. At this rate, she'd never be strong enough to beat him without using her powers or cheating in some other manner. She wanted to be a strong enough Trainer to defeat him without the boosts she could give her Pokémon; to raise her team the right and proper way, but even after all these years, her Pokémon's levels were still only in the mid-high 80s, whereas most if not all of Red's were 100. Still, compared to how she'd been when she started out; she was overjoyed by how far she'd come… she just wished raising her Pokémon to the toughest level didn't take so bloody long. How Red had done that was beyond her.

Every sparring match she had with her fellow Dexholders made her and her Pokémon just a little bit stronger. It was all the better to protect the world, but Yellow would've been lying if she said she didn't have ulterior motives. She only hoped she managed to impress Red in this bout; given that she'd won against his Aerodactyl Aero using Ratty the Raticate's Super Fang and Hyper Fang in combination, and battled his Saur to a draw with a well-aimed Fissure from her Golem, Golosk. One single Belly Drum allowed his Poli the Poliwrath to almost single-handedly sweep her entire team with either Focus Punches or Waterfall attacks.

If it hadn't been for Chuchu knocking him out with a well-placed Thunderbolt, he would've, but Yellow was still down to her last Pokémon. She had been surprised and more than a little impressed that Red had taught his Starter Pokémon Belly Drum; the only thing she didn't care much for was it depleted a Pokémon's battle health to max their attack. She didn't much care for moves that hurt her Pokémon by design, but she was still impressed by the results. Still, she had been able to expose Belly Drum's one weakness with the power of a strong electric attack, but Red had all but wiped the floor with Chuchu in the end. Yellow wanted to give herself a pat on the back for doing better than she ever did against him, but she wasn't going to win his affections unless she beat him at least once.

She scooped Chuchu up in her arms as the dust settled and Red congratulated Pika on a job well done before returning him. He was grinning like a madman, unable to believe how far Yellow had come along and how much work she'd been putting into her training in recent years. The girl was like a machine, all but demanding a battle with him practically every other week after grinding in Viridian Forest for the first two weeks. He smiled fondly at his friend as she gave her Pikachu a loving pat and healed him with another impressive display with her psychic powers.

"You take a good long rest, you've earned it Chuchu." Yellow whispered to her lovingly as Red made his way over to her side of the battlefield while Green stood by with a shake of his head.

"You did well Yellow. You've grown tremendously as a Trainer these past years, and your psychic powers are showing vast improvement as well." Red praised her, not missing the blush that came over her face when he said this and wishing he felt the same way. It would've made things easier on them both if he could muster up anything other than older brother feelings for Yellow, but apparently, a long overdue discussion was in order.

"Thanks Red. My Pokémon gave it everything they had. Will you take us on again when I've had time to rest and train my team some more?" Yellow requested, smiling sweetly at him. Red was amazed by this girl's tenacity. She showed a truly single-minded determination when she set her heart on achieving something. She was also a little spitfire, and while sweet most days; she could be a truly terrifying force to deal with if you threatened her hometown or her friends.

It amazed him to think about how much ass such a small individual could kick when the right buttons were pressed. Yellow's lingering crush on him had not gone unnoticed, Red could be dense but not to the point of stupidity. He hated having to be the one to let her down easy, but ever since Green told him Blue was interested he couldn't get her out of his head. Green even said he should go for it, but that he might want to wait a while and see if he felt anything for Yellow first. The thought that his former arch rival was playing matchmaker in his love-life made Red want to tease the man mercilessly, but he realized it wasn't Green who was caught in this uncomfortable love triangle right now and that meant the infamous Battler would have to make some tough choices in the coming days.

'She really likes you man, maybe if you stopped and really looked at her for a sec, you'd realize that Yellow has actually grown into a gorgeous young woman. If you weren't so hot for Blue this wouldn't even be an issue, but I worry what your rejection is going to do to the poor girl's confidence. I tried inspiring her to be a better battler for you dude and look how that's turning out.' Green had confided in him one day, and while Red could admit that Yellow was adorable and much cuter now, it still didn't do anything for him.

If things didn't start happening soon, he was going to need to have the one talk nobody wanted their crushes to have with them. He hated having to reject Yellow, but he couldn't force himself into a loveless relationship just because it made her happy. Love was a compromise and true love was always mutual between the couple in question. And besides, Red had it on good authority (cough Green cough) that Blue liked him as well, and unfortunately for Yellow; Blue got his motor running.

She'd come a long way from the thief who'd operated under the Mask of Ice, and was well on her way to becoming a true champion in her own right. Red couldn't help admiring a woman who struggled and fought all their life only to come out the other side a hero; because, even after all the hell she went through in her traumatic childhood, Blue still had the courage to do the right thing when it counted. A part of him wished he could have it both ways, that he could have feelings for both girls and have some sort of agreement between them to share or something, but Blue was the one he wanted to be with.

Upon seeing Yellow's expectant gaze, Red ended his train of thoughts and responded to her earlier request. "Of course, you can battle me again Yellow. Like I said, I'll take you or anybody else on, anywhere, anytime." Red promised her, watching her nod with an adoring smile on her face that made Red feel bad about what he would have to say next. Fortunately, or perhaps not so fortunately, he was saved having to say anything for now by Green piping up.

"If that's true, then why do you two insist on making my gym a goddamn mess every time you battle it out?" He criticized Red who sweat dropped.

"Well um, you see Green… your gym is the closest to us both and I guess it's just convenient for us to meet up for our biweekly battles here." Red explained while Green huffed before waving it off with a chuckle.

"If it's important to Yellow, then it's no big deal to me." He rationalized.

"Biweekly? Am I really that consistent Red?" Yellow shyly asked, in a voice barely above a whisper, and Red chuckled.

"Yep. So far, you've trained every day in the Viridian Forest into all hours of the afternoon, for two weeks straight, only to call me up on my Pokegear to request a battle the Monday two after the one we last battled on. Yeah, you're very consistent Yellow, and I'm actually surprised you're willing to use the forest as your training grounds. I guess that must mean it's fully healed, am I right." Red teased; a slight awkwardness in his laughter upon realizing it was now or never.

"Oh, I almost forgot Red… gramps needed you for something back in Pallet Town; said there's been strange storm clouds brewing up over the Sevii Islands freakishly fast, with oddly colored lightning bolts." Green interjected before Red could get a word in edgewise for the second time. Upon catching his rival's eye, he saw an expression on Green's face that said… Are you mad?! You don't reject a girl in this fashion! You ought to be ashamed of yourself, there's a time and a place man!

Upon interpreting the look, Red got the memo and gave an over-exaggerated stretch of his arms. "Well, I'm beat… gonna head home and see what the Professor can tell me about these storms. So, I'll see you in two weeks then Yellow?" He asked her with a kind smile, watching uncomfortably as she blushed at his simplest gesture. 'Damn, Green was right… she really does have it bad for me. I wish I would've noticed sooner, but I was too wrapped in my feelings for Blue and now it's too late for that.' He added internally, caught on what to do and almost relieved when Yellow didn't bring her feelings to the forefront.

"S…sure, see you then Red, and if you wind up going on another errand for the Professor… please, be careful. I'll be right here if you need my help with anything." Yellow softly told him, sounding genuinely concerned. Red nodded with a reassuring smile and ran out of the gym as quickly as he could, knowing he'd have to acknowledge Yellow's obvious crush on him eventually, but relieved that day didn't have to be today.

Yellow waited until after he was gone and sank to the ground in defeat, barely aware of Green walking over to her with a sympathetic smile on his face. "I couldn't do it. No matter how much I like him; I can never get up the courage to tell him how I feel." She sighed in endless romantic frustration, and Green nodded.

"I did try to tell you Yellow, he's into Blue big time; I know it hurts, but right now, you need to consider the idea that he's not going to have some big change of heart at this point." Green advised her sagely as Yellow refused to move from her spot, having healed all her Pokémon via her psychic powers and just wanting to go home and sleep for tonight.

"I just wish I could be strong enough for him to notice me; you said he likes stronger women, and I've been trying so hard to be somebody worthier of him." Yellow sniffed, refusing to break down and cry here; that came later when she was home alone.

"I know what I said then, blondie, believe me I do; it was the best advice I could think of for you to make a statement to him, but I also recall saying that it might not work out the way you want it too." Green reminded her gently, and when she still refused to move he lifted her chin up to meet his eyes.

"Hey, chin up there princess… so Red isn't the one; big fucking deal, it's his loss if you ask me. Just keep an open mind and heart and I promise you'll find someone wonderful to spend the rest of your life with. You've already got the looks, brains, and personality for it. So, one crush got away, there's plenty of other Goldeen in the sea Yellow. Just keep on being your awesome bubbly self, and don't let Red or anybody else get you down like this." Green passionately stated with a smile, momentarily shocked at his uncharacteristic softness, but the fact of the matter was they all adored Yellow. She was the equivalent to the Dexholders' caring sister or something, even if she was a senior to some of the other members, and Green would be lying if he said they weren't all one big family at this point.

"Thanks Green." She giggled, and Green nodded with a noncommittal shrug of his shoulders.

"Don't mention it, now get going already; I've gotta clean this place up in time for the next gym challenger." Green told her.

"No problem Green, and thanks again for everything." Yellow repeated her previous statement, before gathering herself up and checking her belt for all her Pokeballs before running out of the gym with a much happier and lighter heart. Green had made her feel better with his kind words, and he was right; if Red couldn't see the catch she'd become then maybe somebody else would. She wouldn't just immediately move on from her crush, but it was nice to know Green felt so optimistic about her ability to find someone. She knew she was stronger than this; that she could come out the other side of this scenario with her ability to love still intact.

'But it's Red.' Her unconscious mind reminded her, and she remembered the day when she first saw Kitty's String Shot connecting her pinkie finger with his; almost like threads of fate. Yet, despite her wanting to believe they were meant to be together; fate could be a fickle thing, and their destinies being tied together didn't inevitably mean they were in love. Besides, things changed, people and times changed, and maybe he and Yellow just weren't as written in the stars together as she first wanted to believe

"The only constant in this world is change." Yellow mused out loud as she exited the Viridian City Gym. She was surprised when she saw Red running up to her full sprint.

"Hey Yellow." He panted breathlessly once he reached her, and Yellow couldn't stop the frantic pounding of her heart when he deeply inhaled.

"Hey again Red; didn't you need to head back home to Pallet Town to see Professor Oak?" Yellow reminded him while tilting her head like a curious Mew.

"Well yeah, I was, but… I wanted to walk you home first, and there's some stuff we should probably talk about as well." Red responded in an uncharacteristically serious voice, and Yellow nodded in acceptance as she maintained a leisurely pace by his side.

"Thanks for coming with me Red; it was really nice of you." Yellow whispered gratefully as they headed to the forests at the northern end of the city.

"Not a problem, so, what are your plans for tonight?" He asked her conversationally, causing her to shrug.

"I'm thinking I might turn in early after soaking in a hot bath for an hour or so. Honestly, I'm a little tired." Yellow admitted in response. Red nodded understandingly.

"No wonder to, you just fully healed every member of your team without having to go to the Pokémon Center at all. Your powers are growing incredibly strong Yellow, and your Pokémon are really responding to that growth. Who knows, at your current rate of improvement, you could be stronger than any Trainer on earth in just a few short years. I know I'll have my work cut out for me, that's for sure." He complimented her, forcing Yellow to fight another full body blush. Did he love torturing her with his painfully sweet words, or did he just not realize the effect they were having on her?

"Thanks Red, hey… Just look at that sunset, would you?" Yellow gasped in awe as she looked up at the pinkish-gold sky and Red smiled fondly at her. She was cute, he'd give her that… and the way her eyes closed in bliss when she felt the setting sun's heat bearing down on her made his smile widen.

"Hey Red…" Yellow tentatively spoke.

"Yes Yellow." Red whispered back.

"You ever think about the future, and if we can keep up this whole 'saving the world' thing? I mean, did you ever wonder what kind of world we'd live in if you never found me in that forest one day, or if I never found the strength to try and rescue you from the Kanto Elite Four? My whole life, I've been dealing with these abilities; they've allowed me to be extremely empathetic towards Pokémon and to endow them with immense power by syncing them with my heightened emotions. I can heal their injuries and even read their emotions. This is all familiar to me, but I've never had a need for human companionship, until I met you Red.

You really came through for me in a big way back when that rampaging Dratini attacked, or when you helped me catch Ratty, and I never thought I could pay you back for that simple act of random kindness. So, when I heard you had gone missing; I was determined to do everything I could to save you. I wasn't about to miss the opportunity to save my hero from his own personal Dratini after all." Yellow giggled fondly at the comparison of her situation with Dratini and Red's when he'd been kidnapped.

"I remember how worried I was that I wasn't going to find you alive and breathing, and how relieved I was when I did; even though I was being suffocated by an Onix at the time I was so happy. I didn't realize it at the time, but I… I had become smitten with you Red." She added with shuddering relief upon realizing she'd found the strength to finally tell him how she felt at the time.

Red was frankly surprised that Yellow managed to get up the courage to admit all that, then again… he'd learned a long time ago not to underestimate her. "I'm flattered and happy you managed to say all that Yellow, and I wish I felt the same way but…" Red gulped nervously while pausing between sentences, his heart pounding with anxiety at what he had to say next as Yellow spun around to face him fully. Her look was not one of hurt or betrayal, but grudging understanding and emotional intensity, which was almost worse in Red's opinion.

"But you're in love with Blue." She finished for him, watching him intently as Red shuffled nervously on his feet.

"Yeah, I'm sorry Yellow; if I could change my feelings I would." He told her, and she turned away from him with a shake of her head.

"No, you wouldn't." She responded knowingly, her back still turned to him as he laid his hand gently on her shoulder in what he hoped was a comforting gesture.

"No, I suppose I wouldn't huh? Yellow, I really am… sorry. Maybe if this were another lifetime or something we might've worked out, but I love Blue, and I'm always going to love Blue." Red stammered, glad he could be straightforward with her but not particularly overjoyed at the prospect of having to break her heart.

"It's okay Red." Yellow repeated, but Red shook his head.

"No, it isn't. You deserve so much better Yellow, and I know you may not believe this, but there is someone for you out there. I truly believe there is someone for everyone, you just gotta put yourself out there, you know?" He wisely stated, and Yellow giggled at his sage's wisdom.

"You know, Green told me something similar after you walked out of his gym." Yellow snickered, and she realized by that point that she and Red were going to be okay as they both shared a laugh.

"So, are we cool Yellow?" Red asked the very question Yellow answered in her own mind as she nodded with a blush and a smile.

"Yeah, we're okay. I mean, I'm not doing so hot right now, but that'll pass. Time heals all wounds Red, even if some hurts seem insurmountable." Yellow answered with some sage's wisdom of her own that made him grin from ear-to-ear.

"That's awesome Yellow; the last thing I wanted was for this discussion to negatively affect our friendship. If you ever need anything, anything at all, you just let me know alright?" Red gleefully offered her. Yellow nodded again, she seemed to be doing that a lot lately as she and Red resumed their trek up towards Viridian Forest past Route 2.

"Nothing could come between us and our friendship Red; you don't need to worry about that." Yellow promised him, and graciously thanked him for his offer as a couple of Rattata and even a few Beedrill scurried or fluttered past them.

"So, what's on your agenda for tomorrow? If all goes well for me; the storm on the Sevii Islands will pass and I'll be free to look for some battles or train with Gold and Sapphire some more. You'd be welcome to join us if you want, unless you've got some plans of your own." Red informed her questioningly as Yellow struck a thinking pose cutely.

"Thanks, but I might look for some new scenery to draw or go fishing. Taking a break might do my Pokémon and me some good." Yellow smiled joyfully, having enjoyed art and fishing ever since she could remember. She'd only gotten more serious about battling in recent years, and had come to love it as much as she did fishing and sketching.

"That's awesome, you'll have to show me what you draw or fish up when you do so." Red cheerfully responded. Yellow nodded with a closed-eye smile, feeling a surge of warmth in her chest in response to Red's kind words. He was always so supportive as a friend to her, she was starting to wonder if she needed him for anything besides. Sure, she was still crushing, still loved him… but maybe the time was approaching for her to look for her romantic match elsewhere. She'd been pining after Red for so long she never even spared any other boy a second glance.

"I'll be sure too Red, and in two weeks-time; I'd like to battle you again." Yellow informed him chirpily.

"But I thought…" Red spluttered, but Yellow interjected before he could finish.

"I'll admit my initial reason for requesting our biweekly battles was to try and impress you. But, since I started getting into battling more; I've realized that I really love working together with my Pokémon to achieve victory. I feel like I'm closer to my Pokémon every time they try to earn me that win; like there's nothing we can't do when we work together. On the battlefield, I feel so… alive and invincible that I feel like nothing's impossible, even beating a Trainer of your caliber. I know it sounds silly, but I've grown to truly love battling alongside my Pokémon, and even though it hurts them I can tell my Pokémon feel the same way; that it's a good pain. Besides, the stronger we grow together the more help we can be to you guys when the world is threatened once again.

The scary thing is that it probably will be. Every time we restore peace to the world, it always seems like a greater threat is waiting for us." She continued talking, and before she knew it… she was caught up in old memories of when the world was threatened. The situation with her rescuing Red and them all being turned to stone came to mind; plus there was the epic clash of titans between Mewtwo and Deoxys which resulted in a major crash landing and no small amount of mayhem. Things had been relatively peaceful the last couple of years, the recent incidents in Kalos with the newest line of Dexholders having taken place about two years ago, but right now only felt like the calm before the storm to some people… Yellow was one of them. Her psychic powers weren't strong enough to foresee the future, but there was a deeply unsettling feeling in her gut that festered from time to time.

"But hey, look on the bright side; every battle we fight together brings us one step closer to becoming the best versions of ourselves we can possibly be. Every fight, every enemy, every obstacle… it all just makes us stronger. For all our struggles, we gain that much more wisdom, insight, and experience." Yellow added as her own source of self-reassurance, and Red was amazed by her ability to always bounce back. She always had such optimism and an amazing ability to maintain a positive attitude; yet there was a hidden depth to her that most people would miss because she was small and younger than she looked a lot of the time.

"I agree, ultimately, I think these situations bring out the best in us." Red concurred.

They were both lost in memories and a companionable silence just as a bolt of lightning flashed and thunder boomed behind them; painting the sky a rainbow of kaleidoscopic colors before crackling with an unusually loud boom of thunder that seemed to shake the very foundations of the world. "Come on, we better get you home before that storm catches up to us." Red told her as he took her hand and began leading her up to Viridian Forest at a quicker pace.

"But Red, you'll get soaked on your way back home if you head back out in this weather. At least stay the night at my place; you can have my bed and I'll take the couch." Yellow insistently stated, not wanting Red to get caught in the storm as the raven-haired Trainer ran a little faster.

"Nonsense, I'll take the couch Yellow; if you're going to insist that I crash at your place, at least sleep in your own bed." Red rebutted, and Yellow giggled and nodded while running.

"Fine, if that's what you want." She said in acceptance.

"It is, now come on… if we move quickly enough; we might outrun the storm before it reaches us." Red proclaimed, his eyes narrowing in confusion when he saw how fast the storm was spreading. Remembering what Green said about Professor Oak wanting to discuss a weird storm system spreading over the Sevii Islands, Red wondered if this was that very same storm and if a Legendary Pokémon was responsible.

"Red, this is insane… no natural Earth storm moves that fast." Yellow panted.

"I know." Red replied in an oddly cryptic tone, feeling unnerved by the storm for reasons he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"Do you think it could be Lugia, or Kyogre?" Yellow queried fearfully, not desiring another global calamity befalling them and theirs, not at all.

"I don't know, rainbow lightning flashes don't seem like either of their MO, but what do I know? This could be something else entirely, or a special ability those two have been holding out on." Red mused aloud while half-walking, half-running alongside Yellow.

Their respective reveries were interrupted by a flash of lightning bursting the ground open right in front of them, and Red wasn't ashamed to admit he screamed as loudly and as high pitched as Yellow that day. Even louder still, was the almighty clap of thunder that followed, the pure concussive force knocking them on their asses and sending them skidding away on the wet, grassy ground on their butts.

"Ow… Yellow, Yellow… are you okay?!" Red groaned while rubbing his butt.

"I… think so. That was scary!" Yellow replied, unable to believe how powerful that last jolt had been, or how close they'd come to losing their lives by it.

They looked at the spot where the lightning had struck, expecting charred ground and blackened grass and soot, but what they actually found was a lot more horrifying.

"Oh my God!" Yellow frantically shouted as she ran towards the very human, very smoking silhouette that lay in the middle of the crater left behind by the lightning strike.

Red caught her mid-stride and held her back, momentarily stunned by her astonishing strength for her size. "Yellow, hold your Horseas; that person wasn't there a split-second ago when the lightning struck in front of us and now they suddenly are. You don't find that just a little bit strange?" Red rationalized; the thought that this person could've fallen or somehow been the lightning crossing his mind.

"I don't care Red, whoever they are, they're literally smoking in the middle of a lightning-struck crater and they need our help." Yellow insisted stubbornly as she managed to somehow pull away from him, making her way over to the random stranger who appeared with the lightning. Red shook his head at Yellow's naivety and kindness.

"Why do I get the feeling we're going to regret this?" He asked nobody in particular; before sighing and running to catch up to Yellow.

Getting closer to the individual, Yellow could tell it was a boy; not much older than she was by the look of him. He had an uncanny resemblance to Red, minus the choice of attire which was somehow still perfectly intact, albeit smoking, and the strange markings on his cheeks that strongly resembled the letters ZIB. He was cloaked in black battle robes that were trimmed with gold, and the abbreviation AIBIB was inscribed on the chest of his robes in every color imaginable by sentient beings; causing Yellow pause as she wondered what the acronym could stand for. Looking him over and putting questions to the back of her mind for now. She noticed he had two differently styled bracelets on each of his wrists; one of which had a small circular stone with a rainbow sideways eight melded to it like a keystone, and the other a rainbow-colored diamond about the size of her palm.

Her eyes softened with compassion as they took in his current state, his closed eyes and his smoking hot body, (that wasn't a term of endearment, it was a literal statement of fact) and she felt horrified by the prospect that he was no longer alive. She reached out to feel a pulse, and drew back with a hiss as a powerful static shock surged through her as a rainbow jet of electricity.

"Ouch!" She shouted, having drawn back sharply enough to fall onto the ground butt-first at the side of the boy just as Red caught up to her.

"You okay?" He questioned her with concern while Yellow stared at her hand, curiosity etched on her features. For a second, she could've sworn she saw her hand glowing with an iridescent light, but a split-second later and it was gone. Sometimes, she wished her psychic powers weren't such an inexact science.

"Yeah, I'm fine… just some residual static electricity coming off this guy, but he has a pulse. Frankly, I'm astounded he's still alive!" Yellow replied. The man suddenly shot upward into a sitting position with a gasp, and Yellow screamed with a horrified start as she scrambled back, her chest banging at a million miles per hour.

"Whoa, that was quite the backlash there. I knew stepping foot into my newly created set of Triple O's would have some… um… feedback, but that was quite the intense experience. This is unprecedented, as far as I know… I'm the first of my kind to have created an alternate T Triple O or set foot in one. One small step for man, and all that other junk, Oh…" the man paused mid-ramble, having been prattling on in obvious, raving deliriousness from the aftershock of the lightning strike, only to just clue into the fact that he wasn't alone.

His eyes swept over the scene with surprising swiftness, drinking it all in as his eyes fell on Red for but a moment before they landed on Yellow's. Yellow couldn't help but feel like she was being surveyed on a quintessential level; like the pair of eyes now watching her were somehow all-seeing and could see into the most fathomless depths of her inner core. She felt extremely self-conscious under the intensity of his gaze, and couldn't help but ask the obvious question.

"Um… are you okay mister?" She asked him concernedly, having been worried for his survival earlier, and now she worried about his mental stability. Clearly, the lightning had done something to his mind; because if his babbling from before was any indicator, he was clearly very out of sorts and would need time to heal. Yellow could help him with that, she was really good at healing all sorts of afflictions; she just never had to deal with a mental injury before.

"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" The man responded as though her question was a stupid one, looking at her in obvious confusion as Red bit back a retort on Yellow's behalf. For a second, it sounded as though he was talking to her as though she was a simpleton, but clearly he was just lost and confused… so he reined it in for now.

"Well um, you got hit by lightning dude." Red informed him gently, wondering if the bolt had scrambled his brain cells and rearranged them in the most unorderly fashion conceivable.

To their surprise, the stranger chuckled before waving off their concerns with an air of surprising nonchalance. "Oh that? Completely normal, all part of the process. Guess I can say my being here has just made the ZOF consistent in the Multi T Triple O's. Wow, can't believe that's even a thing now, but there it is; actually, I probably can believe it now that I think it through. Anyways, you two needn't be frightened on my behalf; I can assure you that lightning did little more than smack me around a little, turbulence and all that. Oh, and it may have altered the reality of your world some but that won't be a major concern for at least a couple of years. ZOF Paradigm Shifts take time to fully rewrite the realities they choose." The man commented offhandedly, and both Yellow and Red's eyes widened when his last two sentences registered in their minds; ignoring his use of acronyms they didn't understand as of yet.

"Pardon me, but did you say that lightning may have altered our reality?!" Red questioningly exclaimed in a sharp tone, not liking the sound of that one bit as Yellow tried a gentler approach.

"Why don't you come with us to my place, and I'll make us some tea while you tell us all about it, alright?" She suggested slowly and while deliberately enunciating every word, clearly still believing he was scrambled by the lightning strike. Red wanted to mentally facepalm at Yellow's innate need to see the goodness in everyone, and opted not to question her wisdom to let a total stranger into her home; it was no use arguing with the girl when she set her mind and heart on doing something. But, that didn't mean Red wouldn't watch him like a hawk. He may not have loved Yellow romantically, but he still thought of her as the little sister he never had, and thus, he was very protective of her.

The man smiled at her words of kindness, neither denying nor confirming her thoughts of him being rendered a little crazy by the fork of lightning; clearly, he was just glad she was granting him such hospitality. Yellow knew she was taking a risk, but at least Red would be there and could help her fend him off if he turned out to be a problem. She could pick up on his overprotective feelings with her powers of empathy, and wanted to huff indignantly. Had she not proven she and her Pokémon could take care of themselves; Arceus knows she didn't need to be babied now or ever again.

She appreciated his concern, but she wasn't the little girl he saved from that Dratini anymore; she'd grown tremendously as a Trainer since then and could handle anything that came her way. Still, it was nice of him to worry, and she'd be the last person to pass up the opportunity to have someone fussing over her like a member of her family should. Whatever this stranger turned out to be, she was glad at least she wouldn't have to face it alone.

Long Ago, Somewhere in the Previous Trans Omni Omega Omnisphere, or T Triple O for short...

"This is unbelievable folks… both finalists have been brought down to their last Pokémon after what has probably been the most nail biting battle this tournament has ever seen! AIBIB has kept us on the edge of our seats in every battle he's fought, but this is the first time we've seen him put into a corner like this!" A commentator announced, his voice carrying over the stadium that only Omega Omnisphere and Triple O Champions could battle on. An entire world had been created for the sake of this tournament alone, and people from across the endless dimensions and realities had come just to bear witness to the glorious matches the competitors put on only once every endless set of endless eternities. Many traveled vast distances across time and space, either into the past or future… just to bear witness to this tournament.

Standing on one end of the battlefield, was none other than Thomas IB himself; the first ever ZOF enhanced Double-O Champion in the history of the Omni-Totality. His final Pokémon for this match was his Charizard Vulcan; whom he was quick to transform into his legendary X Supreme Evolution form.

"Go Vulcan, tap into your ZOF Energies by means of Supreme Evolution." TIB commanded with a quick touch of his fingertip to the differently styled keystone. Branches of pure energy like and unlike those of Mega Evolution connected Trainer and Pokémon, as Charizard was cocooned in a blinding white light tinged with every other color in the visible spectrum; before reemerging in his ultimate form.

Supreme Charizard X looked similar to Mega Charizard X; he was even the same duo-typing with a few cosmetic changes, as well as some changes to his ability and move-pool. He was blacker than the deepest shadows of the Omni Omega Omnisphere, and had flames that were the same iridescently-tinged white as the light that originally engulfed him to achieve this form.

"There it is folks; the infamous X Supreme form of Charizard… now, let's see what Thomas does with Vulcan." The announcer commented in response to the cheers of the crowd. AIBIB knew Thomas Infinity's strategies well enough to know what he would do next at this point, and he concealed a grin at the thought that he had him right where he wanted him. This tournament and the major events of this Omni-Totality was all history to him, as he came from an infinitely futuristic version of it and had conquered the Tournaments of ten thousand Omni-Totalities. Thomas IB may have had a small inkling of who he was dealing with, but only a small one at best. Sure, he may have lost in ten thousand of them as well, but he picked up a thing or two along the way. Getting his ass handed to him by another Supreme Omnidony in an unofficial match following the preliminary rounds had made him eager to step up his game. The mysterious Entity known to all naturally born Zenith Omnidonae as TIBIB had shown himself at long last, and while battling Thomas Ash couldn't help thinking that there may have been more Supreme Omnidonae lurking in his personal future. If that was the case, maybe his own ESIT Soul Mate wasn't far off... maybe the solution lied in creating a brand new cluster of Triple O's.

"Vulcan, use Omni Totality Wrecker on yourself." Thomas IB commanded, a wry grin crossing his features as Charizard hastened to comply, a series of rotating discs of pure energy appearing in a frenetic, dancing formation all around him; sawing through the very fabric of the Omni Totality itself before they all sheared through the air. But, as Thomas instructed, it wasn't the opponent Vulcan targeted, but rather himself, and he barely even flinched as the Omni-Totality distorting saw-blades of energy cut into him in a series of critical hits; creating a mass explosion comprised of energy and light.

When he emerged from the explosion, Vulcan sent an unnerving grin to his opponent as his body was covered in a red down. "Unbelievable! Even when brought down to his last Pokémon... Thomas IB manages to go-for-broke by making use of Supreme Charizard X's vaunted Anger Point ability; in combination with the guaranteed critical hit Totality Wrecker provides. Vulcan has now raised his ZOF Mastery to the maximum level he can presently obtain without additional IB titles or IB title emulation powers. How will AIBIB and Arcanine counter this effect?!" The commentator shouted excitedly at the epic match to come, and the crowds roared at the top of their lungs. This Tournament was quickly shaping up to be an absolute blast, and Thomas was one of the crowd favorites to win it all and successfully defend his title as Omni-Omniversal Champion. To their mild surprise however, AIBIB and his Arcanine merely smiled.

"Thomas, before we wrap this battle up; I just want to say thank you. Out of all the tens of thousands of Triple O Tournaments I've partaken in; this one has been the absolute best by a long shot. Not only have you managed to bring me down to my last partner- something that hasn't happened to me in a very, very long time- but I got to meet the mysterious Supreme Omnidony named TIBIB whilst here and even battled him and lost when I was holding absolutely nothing back! I will treasure your Triple O's Tournament forever more, and I can honestly tell you that your Omni Omega Omnisphere is in very good hands with people like you heading it."

"Unfortunately for you though, I expected you and Vulcan to go with that strategy, and while it's effective; it's also one you've used a few too many times. Arcanine, go beyond Mega Evolution and all other transformations, evolve into a state of Sovereignty, and unlock your ZOF Master powers." Thomas and Vulcan's opponent declared with a passionate zeal as he touched his modified keystone to his lips, and tendrils of multicolored light connected him and Arcanine.

The fire dog gave a Celestial howl that would have transcendent werebeasts and alpha hellhounds cowering with fear, and he rematerialized from the blinding light as a bigger version of himself with a stronger and slimmer jaw, bigger teeth, and a majestic looking mane that made him look like a cross between a dog, a lion, and a Siberian Tiger.

"Good job Arcanine; now use Burn Up!" Thomas's opponent commanded authoritatively, causing the once undisputed Master of Pokémon Battles to furrow his eyebrows in intrigue.

'Burn Up, why use that now? Hmm, I wonder what his plan is.' Thomas IB smirked, his excitement bubbling at the thought of battling a truly worthy adversary. It'd been a long time since he'd been brought down to his final Pokémon in one of these tournaments; hell, even the three other Ash Infinities have been unable to do so lately. This guy and he had beaten all three of the other Ash Infinities, thus allowing AIBIB to prove his mantle as the one and only IBIB version of Ash Ketchum, and now he was facing Thomas IB for the win in the final match. The fact that he was also the first Supreme Omnidony he'd ever encountered and was foreign to their indigenous Omni-Totality was mind boggling to contemplate. To think that there was a God Tier above and beyond the sum total of the ZOF itself, and that Ash IBIB was the creator of the ZOF itself! Thomas IB wasn't genuinely surprised by much of anything anymore, but this was on the infinitesimal list of things that overqualified.

Given the way things were going, the regenerated TIB honestly thought he'd be the undisputed champion of infinite totalities for ages to come… but maybe it wasn't beyond someone else's ability to take his title. It was the one aspiration he fought so hard these past few eternities to attain. But if this newcomer thought he was taking the title of Triple O Champion without duking it out in the fight of his life, then he had another thing coming.

"Knock it away Vulcan." He commanded, watching as the supreme Charizard brought his left wing over in a sideways arc that batted aside the massive fireball like it was a pesky fly. They could sense that the Arcanine was now type-less and wouldn't get any STABs. At the back of his mind, he wondered what the purpose of that strategy was, but refused to let it come to pass as he ordered his next attack.

"Wrap this up with a fully charged Flamethrower!" Vulcan immediately complied, and breathed a jet stream of fire hot enough to create an Omni Omega Omnispherical Kugelblitz in its trajectory; the singularity hotter than anything and able to KO even the most resilient Water-types. The Event Horizon of pure, Zenith Omnidonae Force-charged heat absorbed the remaining fire from Vulcan's initial flamethrower that created it, and it struck the Arcanine in an Omni Nova that shook the otherwise indestructible and planet-sized stadium at its very core.

Thomas and Vulcan both shielded their eyes as the protective wards of the stadium kept the crowd from going blind, but they got the full blast of what followed that immense attack, and even their ZOF Mastery had its limits. The resulting explosion created an ultra-luminous burst that could have ruptured everything, including the barrier between the endless versions of the Triple O itself. There was no smoke, no residual heat or energy signatures after an attack like that; nothing could've survived a heat blast like that… certainly not their opponent's Arcanine. There was no way it wasn't KOed, was there? At the back of his mind, Thomas had a feeling that something was off about this whole strategy; Ash IBIB had been blindsiding and catching him off balance with unprecedented strategies and custom-made Supreme Evolutions this whole battle… which forced him to up his own game beyond the usual strategies that won him this Tournament every time before. What a fantastic way to break the monotony and force him to do something strange and extravagant.

It was the greatest duel Thomas had fought in a very long time, and he was so honored to have battled such a strong opponent who's mere presence had the ZOF and ESIT literally singing. That had come as a helluva big shock to him when he first met the man, but more impressive… was this individual's remarkable battling styles and strategies. He took his Infinity and IB counterparts' infinitely versatile and adaptive battling styles and turned them into an art form like never before. But, he wasn't about to give up, and in the infamous words of whoever the fuck originally said it; it wasn't over till it was over.

The Kugelblitz vanished in a wisp of smoke, and Thomas and Vulcan's eyes widened in unison when they saw the Arcanine emerge with a confident smirk on his face and completely unscathed. "Unbelievable, Arcanine has emerged completely unaffected by that last attack! This just in folks! Apparently, that Arcanine's custom-made Supreme Form has Omni Guard for its special ability!" The announcer exclaimed in jubilation and gleeful overzealousness.

Thomas's eyes widened with open horror, "OH NO!" He exclaimed while sputtering curse-words. 'He's got me and Vulcan trapped. Omni Guard is an ability that incorporates every type of guard-based ability there is, including an upgraded version of Wonder Guard that blocks all non-super effective attacks, regardless of their powers and effects. So, THAT was his strategy all along… to render my attacks useless. It doesn't matter if Vulcan has maximized his ZOF Energy, not when his attacks won't even touch that damn thing.

And to make matters worse, we can't even cripple him with status because Omni Guard also includes the ability Magic Bounce in its repertoire. This isn't good, I honestly don't know what more Vulcan and I can do now; we can't emulate any abilities like Turboblaze to get through that damn Wonder Guard, and we can't hit him with any kind of status moves. Meanwhile, who knows what kind of affects his Supreme Evolution had on Arcanine's move-pool, or what new attacks he can use besides the standard set for his species.' Thomas considered his options, which consisted of virtually none. He wasn't going to forfeit the match at this point, but he and Vulcan both knew it was already pretty much done.

Even Omni-bypassing moves like Omni-Totality Wrecker were essentially useless, because Arcanine was literally type-less right now; a highly unusual state but not impossible to achieve. Type-less states of being were achievable by Pokémon through only a select few moves, Burn Up being one of them, and since Arcanine was pure Fire-type… once he used it… he'd no longer have any type at all, and when used in combination with Omni Guard; you get a Pokémon that was almost completely unbeatable. The only thing that would work on this Arcanine right now was a Pokémon with Turboblaze or something similar, and both Thomas and his opponent knew it wasn't within Supreme Charizard's power to gain that ability for himself; either by using his moves or any other means. Thomas had made damn sure to include strengths and weaknesses for each of the Supreme Evolution forms he created, but this was ridiculous how easily his opponent was exploiting their weaknesses. This was why he tried not to make custom-made Supreme Evolutions of his own, because it would be too easy for him to come up with some convoluted, unbeatable strategy, and that wasn't what the Triple O tournament was about.

It was no fun to win with a Pokémon that was completely unmatched in every sense and aspect, but that didn't mean he didn't respect other Trainer's desires to win with a special custom-made form they themselves came up with the strengths and weaknesses for. Every Pokémon partaking in the Omni Omega Omnispherical Tournaments were required to have some form of exploitable weakness, even if that weakness wasn't readily apparent; it needed to be there for the competitors to find, and that was a rule every respectable Double-O and Triple O Champion abided by.

Winning with the Triple O's equivalent of a fourth-generation Wonder-tomb or some other unbeatable Pokémon strategy wasn't really a win; working together with your Pokémon to achieve victory against opponents on your own level, and overcoming those weaknesses, that was the mark of a true Champion.

"Arcanine… Lower Vulcan's defense to absolute zero with an Iron Tail-powered Corkscrew Crash." The Supreme Omnidony instructed, and Thomas smiled contently; vowing to up his gaming strategy and mix it up a little the next time he met this person in the arena. This was the toughest opponent he'd ever faced in a friendly match, and it was an honor as always to duel someone who had managed to exceed him. Seeing TIBIB whoop this guy's butt earlier on in the tournament would have to be enough for now, and he'd do the best he could to incorporate both of their respective strategies. Funny thing was, TIBIB had more or less the same battling style Thomas himself did, but he was even better at it.

"Go for broke Vulcan, use Fissure and try to score that OHKO." Thomas instructed with a note of desperation in his voice. Vulcan hurriedly complied and stomped on the ground; tearing open the ground with a massive barrage of bottomless fissures that split the skin of the Triple O itself, and went in all directions across the uneven terrain. Arcanine turned the field into the Z-Move space just in time to catapult towards Vulcan in the form of a massive, rotating, tougher-than-diamonds corkscrew. The spinning steel top skated over most of the fissures and met Charizard at the epicenter of the onslaught, and both combatants were swallowed up by the earth in an endless set of bottomless fissures… leaving the commentator stunned to the point of speechlessness and the crowd with suspenseful uncertainty of who would emerge victorious.

Back in the Present… For now

As he was gently ushered along by the girl in the straw sun hat and her cautious male friend, Ash Ketchum IBIB allowed himself a fond smile at the girl's insistence that he was rendered crazy by the lightning strike. Clearly, she was just a concerned citizen doing her part to help someone, and he would've been lying if he said he didn't like being fussed over in this new T Triple O he created. Arceus IBIB knows he'd not had people fussing over him in far too long.

'Oh sure, but who needs people? You've got us…' His starter Raichu IB stated, and Ash snickered in his mind.

'A true Pokémon Master is a friend to all buddy… be they Pokémon, Trainer, or otherwise. Though what would I know? I've only been a Pokémon Trainer for a few endless sets of endless eternities.' He rebutted eccentrically, causing the electric mouse to fall silent for the time being. Ever since he won ten thousand championship tournaments in the previous T Triple O, he'd become the undisputed Omni Omega Omnisphere Champion and the IBIB version of Ash Ketchum countless times over; proving his mantle as the one true Supreme Omnidony over and over again to even the mightiest of his created ZOF Masters.

'I've been planning this for a long time; creating a second T Triple O and expanding the ZOF as well as my creation will in turn buff the strength of my own IBIB titles. Maybe I'll even find my ESIT soul mate after all this time.' He remembered pronouncing his most recent ambitions to Thomas IBIB after getting his ass kicked by him in the Triple O Tournament. Unlike his final opponent, Thomas IBIB was a Supreme Omnidony much like Ash himself, and had come from the future to knock some sense of proportion into him. Apparently, in some distant future time; Ash IBIB created others like him, and the longtime mysterious TIBIB's origins became suddenly clear to him. Knowing he was the catalyst that lead to the expansion of his people; Ash IBIB knew his decision to create a second T Triple O was the right one.

'Seems to me like you've got everything more or less figured out, and while I'm not inclined to spoil your own future for you I can say that you're on the right track to finding your eventual soul mate.' TIBIB replied in an all-knowing tone, the both of them sharing a chuckle.

'I just wish the ESIT was quicker with the selection process; I created it to be able to find someone for everyone... and I refuse to believe that there's no one out there for me. At the same time, I can't just force a bond like that to occur; I've always been a big believer in letting nature take its course and I'm not about to subtract from the meaning of such a bond by forcefully tying someone's existence to my own.' Ash said in a slightly dejected tone; not sure why he felt so strongly about finding that one special person but wanting it to be special when he did.

'Maybe it just hasn't found someone for you yet because there's only one being in all of the Triple O's and even T Triple O's who is just right for you. Maybe you just haven't found them yet; just keep an eye out and don't be afraid to put yourself out there. Trust me man... as soon as you stop trying to force the bond to occur it'll happen on its own; it's just going to take some time, and let's be honest... time is one luxury people like us will always have.' TIBIB sagely responded. Ash realized he was right, and wasn't about to force the bonding phenomena of his people to occur in any case.

'Everything feels so unbelievably different and new in this second T Triple O. I'm the most unique creature in this entire realm right now… and this is the first universe I've stopped at here. I know which one it is too, what are the odds I'd end up in a universe where the Pokémon Adventures Manga series really happened? This is going to be a whopper, I can tell you people that much.' AIB stated meta-omnipathically. He was as giddy as a schoolgirl. As far as he knew, not even the Omni IB ZOF Masters had done something on this level before.

'I am beyond the ZOF itself and its mightiest Masters in its entirety. I guess it stands to reason that I'd be able to create a brand new T Triple O, but it's still shocking to me how easy it was for me to do so.' AIBIB continued smiling while Yellow led him to her house up in Viridian Forest. The storm was still churning above them, but not as violently now that he fell to this earth.

"So, you gotta name stranger-danger?" Yellow chuckled playfully, pulling him along by the hand as he felt a faint glow in his chest at the simple contact. It'd been far too long since he'd interacted with a regular mortal, and since the ZOF was a much newer construct in this T Triple O; he was free to instigate a shit ton of unprecedented scenarios regarding the ZOF Masters and their powers here. Even if it had all been done before, it had a sense of newness to it because relative to this place… it all might as well have never happened.

"I've been called many names through the ages; the Supreme Omnidony, Ash IBIB, Appaneesty IBIB, and others, but I suppose you can just call me Ash. That's what everybody else calls me nowadays." He responded inscrutably. Yellow nodded gleefully in acceptance while Red furrowed his eyebrows at the mystique he presented during his response.

"That's fascinating… would it be okay if I just stuck with Ash? AIBIB, ZIB, and other such acronyms aren't really normal names around here." Yellow requested of him with exceeding politeness; knowing he needed to ride out this deliriousness and let it run its course.

The now christened Ash chuckled at her bedside manners, finding her compassion for his apparent lightning-addled brain to be equal parts amusing and ironic. If only she knew he wasn't the slightest bit disoriented, that he was speaking the truth. He reckoned she'd find out in due course; until then however, he was content just messing around with her and Red a little.

"That'll be acceptable… I'm not crazy or delirious though Yellow." He told her in a strong voice, causing her to halt mid-stride and stare at him in rapidly increasing distrust and unease.

"How do you know my name?" She demanded with her hands on her hips, looking him directly in the eye with a calculating look on her face. Ash found her haughty change in demeanor to be adorable, but it would be a cold day in hell when he underestimated her. He knew enough about the character Yellow to know she was a spitfire and a powerful force to be reckoned with when the need was great enough. Red had also stopped and was glaring at him with an expression that clearly said… try anything and you're dead.

Ash raised his hands in a placating gesture, not in the slightest bit interested in causing a scene. "Sorry for startling you just there, I just figured my knowing your names before you introduced yourselves to me might get your attention. I'm not crazy, nor did I come to your planet with hostile intentions. I actually didn't mean to end up anywhere in particular if I'm being completely honest, but it is… difficult to put my knowledge of your world into terms you humans can understand." He responded, and he saw Yellow crossing her arms over her considerably well-endowed chest for her size and remaining cautious while Red was completely distrustful altogether.

"Us humans? Never mind that for now, you better start talking." Red commanded him harshly, his hand hovering over one of his Pokeballs in case Ash tried to attack them.

"Whoa, calm down there… uptight chucklehead. I come in peace." Ash proclaimed in a pacifying undertone; conjuring a white flag to wave at them in the T Triple O sign of truce or surrender. This feat was enough to startle them both, and Yellow quirked an eyebrow at the conjuration of an item that had not been on his person only a split-second before. Granted, he could've had it concealed up the loose sleeves of his black robes and used some sleight of hand to produce it in a seemingly magical fashion… but something told her there was more to it than that.

"Now, how to explain this, I come from a world, an alternate reality with people who have at least some knowledge of almost every universe; this includes your indigenous universe. That's how I knew your names, you guys are actually from a pretty famous version of the Pokémon Universe, and by famous; I mean known to all with an Omniversal knowledge base." Ash started his explanations with a maddening grin. Yellow and Red exchanged a look that agreed on one thing; this guy had lost his sanity a long time ago, and there was no getting it back at this point.

"No offense or anything dude, but why should we believe you? What's to stop us from simply calling you crazy and being done with it?" Red challenged, and Ash's answering grin was unnervingly feral.

"Well, if it proves my case… perhaps I could implement a 'show, don't tell' scenario. Would you feel better if I teleported you both into the sun, or showed you the Arceus on my Pokémon Team? Oh, maybe I could transport us all to the epicenter of an ultra-massive black hole at the center of the biggest galaxy cluster in your universe." His grin became larger and more akin to the Cheshire Mew with every word he spoke, and something told Yellow he wasn't bluffing as she gulped nervously. It took very little time for the implications to sink in, and once they did… Red and Yellow were sufficiently silenced for the moment.

"That… won't be necessary." Yellow finally spoke up, feeling significantly cowed by the implications behind Ash's words; wondering how it was even possible for a person to have so much power.

"Pfft… you're full of it man." Red continued to be the skeptic, and Ash chuckled in a not unfriendly manner.

"Maybe, maybe not… either way; I don't have anything to prove to anyone, and I could just as easily leave your world to its devices. But who knows, it may end up meeting some of my standards in the future." He responded with a wave before his expression softened.

"I'm not going to do any of those things to you Yellow; I would never do anything like that to anyone unless they truly deserved it. I'm talking axe-wielding psychos and murderous clowns, and the like. You and Red don't fit any sort of category that I'd even consider porting into the sun. If you would like to see my Arceus though, I promise… he's quite gentle compared to the one Gold placated back in the Sinjoh Ruins; well, unless you're battling him in an Omega Omnisphere or Triple O Championship Tournament." He offered them while speaking gently and reassuringly to Yellow, surprised by how determined he was to prove to her that he'd never hurt her or her friends. Seeing her looking even the slightest bit intimidated by him, especially when that wasn't his aim in the first place; made him compelled to alleviate her tension by any means necessary.

"You have an Arceus?" Yellow asked in childlike awe and wonder; ignoring Red's scoff of disbelief.

"You can't capture an Arceus Yellow; he's just messing with you. You'd literally be capturing God in Pokémon form." He insistently stated, and Ash couldn't help smirking teasingly.

"He's not wrong, well… in most cases anyways. There is an ultra-rare group of insanely powerful and godlike Pokémon Masters called the Omega Omnisphere Champions; we can not only capture any Pokémon regardless of species, we can also train them to a level of infinity and beyond… making them supreme paragons of their species. We take the concept of Pokémon Mastery and battling to the most sovereign, omnipotent level." Ash explained to a captivated audience, Yellow's eyes turning to stars and Red furrowing his eyebrows at the seriousness in Ash's tone.

"I still don't think I can believe you based on words alone, and so far, you're all talk man." Red declared in a matter-of-fact tone.

Ash's answering grin was just a tad feral. "Then perhaps it's best if I let my actions speak for me. Think you can handle a battle with the mightiest Pokémon Master in ten thousand versions of the Triple O Reality?" He challenged, and Red smirked.

"Sure thing; I'll take on anyone, anywhere, anytime. Not right now though, my Pokémon need rest after their latest bout with Yellow's team." Red admitted to a blushing Yellow who had the good grace to look sheepish.

Neither of them missed the mysterious smile that lit up Ash's face. With a wave of his hands, a blue light enveloped all of Red's Pokeballs who looked down at his belt in shock when Yellow gawked at him with slacken jaws. She turned to look at Ash, whose hand was outstretched and enveloped in the same faint glowing as Red's team.

The glowing stopped and Ash lowered his hand with a satisfied smile on his face. "What did you do?!" Red demanded in pure shock and dismay, having seen something similar from Yellow when she used her healing magic or whatever it was, but something about the casual ease with which Ash glowed blue spoke volumes of his power.

"Oh nothing, just a little magic trick. A simple temporal regression to put your Pokémon back in the state they were prior to battling Yellow." Ash flippantly responded.

"A what in the what now?!" Red questioned in a stupor; hating the fact he wasn't as articulate as the likes of Yellow or Green. He was a simple man of action, all these big words were making his head spin.

Yellow giggled and decided to take pity on her friend and crush. "He means that he manipulated the flow of time around your Pokémon and caused their energy levels to revert back to what they were before you and I fought." She explained, and Red nodded in understanding. That explanation made more sense, though clearly Yellow was well spoken in her own right.

"So, are we going to battle or what?" Ash asked, sounding every bit as eager to fight as Red ever did. Red nodded determinedly, a grin plastered on his face at the prospect of fighting a strong opponent.

"We can't battle right out here though, there's a storm overhead. We'll wait until it passes, get you both warm and dry, and then battle tomorrow. Is that understood you two?" Yellow declared in a no-nonsense tone and with her hands on her hips, silently daring them to contradict her as Red nodded submissively and Ash snickered.

"You're quite the little spitfire when you want to be Yellow." Ash chortled teasingly, making Yellow blush somewhat sheepishly.

"Sorry, I just don't want you boys to catch cold." Yellow admitted concernedly while glancing upward at the iridescently ionized sky with apprehension.

"I don't get sick, ever. One of the benefits of being what I am. And don't worry about the storm. Now that I'm here it won't be for much longer." Ash replied while Red merely shrugged and opted to follow Yellow back to her house. While he was eager to battle the newcomer, he understood why Yellow wanted them to rest at her place first. It was all the better to grill this Ash person for details on who he was. Red still wasn't fully trusting of him, and he hoped Yellow would listen to her head for once and not her heart and tread on the side of caution.

Sensitive to the Emotional Spectrum in both versions of the T Triple O; Ash Ketchum IBIB was perfectly aware of Red's continued mistrust towards him. He knew the manner in which he'd arrived here was a bit unorthodox… okay, a lot unorthodox.

Yellow at least, seemed to slightly believe in him; though she seemed to be questioning his sanity at the back of her mind. Oh well, at least she was nice about it, and it certainly helped that she was superbly cute too. Winning the Omni Omega Omnisphere Championship Tournament against Thomas IB was just the beginning of his journey it seemed. He'd done something even the Omni IB ZOF Masters could only dream of doing. He created a brand new Trans Omni Omega Omnisphere, and he was the AIBIB of both versions.

He was beyond the Zenith Omnidonae Force and every IB Counterpart and ZOF Master in their entirety, but he was also dead set against interfering in the affairs of all his creations. He was to be a casual observer only; making friends here and there but never staying for long. He was the ultimate nomad; he belonged nowhere and yet everywhere at the same time, and he would of course continue to travel endlessly with his Pokemon. Seeing TIBIB back in his last Triple O Tournament had taught him that there were still things about his creation that he didn't know, and things were surely to develop in ways that even he never could've anticipated. For now though, he was content to settle for a while and not upset the status quo as it were.

He also had to establish the abstract forces and various different aspects of the ZOF; including death, gravity, destiny, and other forces of nature that were consistent in both T Triple O's.

The creations of the Omnipotence Nexuses and ESITs as well as the God Magic were a must; other than that though… Ash was free to tweak everything however he wished, and with eyes that glowed molten, iridescent gold… his creation was finalized and he was ready to take on his role as Appaneesty IBIB again. Not that he really needed to do much; since only Omni IB Counterparts were really capable of upsetting the balance of everything he so carefully placed in order; they were the mightiest of his creations and the strongest of all the ZOF God tiers including the Master tier. He was the only one powerful enough to beat them, but they were so unbelievably rare to occur and so unlikely to fight another on their level that he rarely had to involve himself on a more personal and individual level. Aside from that one time with that Zeneptron IB Crisis and that annoying group of mortals from a specific Multiverse; he had done very little in the way of interfering, and things had been going smoothly since time immemorial.

He was one with everything, his supreme meta-omnipresence allowing him to keep an all-seeing 'eye' on everything outside of this Pokémon world while still manifesting himself here in this world, with Yellow and Red. As humans, their bodies performed countless actions every second on a molecular level; his situation was much the same, only on the ultimate scale.

If at any point, something happened that required more of his personal attention such as the aforementioned, hypothetical conflict between Omni IB Counterparts, then he would manifest there as well in a heartbeat. As it was though, his mere presence would hold everything together and his role would be fulfilled automatically and on a subconsciously formless level. He didn't even need to personally tend to matters a lot of the time; he fulfilled his function just by existing.

That being said, he refused to exist as a creature of consciousness alone; he desired the life of a traveler, and to casually observe the infinite flux of his creations.

"So Ash, you're a Pokémon Trainer to then? You claimed to have an Arceus which we have yet to see, but could you tell us who your starter was?" Yellow questioned him like a curious Mew, and she was just as cute as one too. He had been hoping he'd find his ESIT blessed soul mate out here in the new Trans Omni Omega Omnisphere, but this was happening way sooner than he thought it would; not that he was complaining of course.

"Oh that's easy, my starter was Pikachu, who has since evolved into Raichu. We've… been through a lot together and even competed in the biggest Pokémon tournaments ever thrown in the history of the Triple O and all of its counterparts in the past and future." Ash replied with a maddening grin on his face that didn't do much to convince them of his sanity.

"Yeah, what is a Triple O exactly?" Red demanded frustratingly; tired of all the geek-speak.

"Oh, a Triple O is what I use as an abbreviation for the term Omni Omega Omnisphere; it's basically part of a set of beyond omni-dimensional tiers that I alone established and created. The only set larger than a Triple O currently is the T Triple O; each dimensional tier being an infinite accumulation of the one beneath it. So T Triple O's are the largest currently, and there are only two of them in existence at this point. T Triple O's are also an infinite accumulation of Triple O's, which are an infinite accumulation of Omega Omnispheres, which are an infinite accumulation of Pocket Totalities and finite realms such as Hyperverses, Megaverses, Multiverses, Universes, galaxies, worlds, etc. Omega Omnispheres are commonly referred to as the beginning of true infinity, and is the largest scaled reality most beings can fathom or have a reference frame for. Their depth, magnitude, range, and every other dimensional radius are the lowest level of infinity established by my ZOF's established hierarchies of boundlessness. Basically, the way it works is there's always a bigger set of infinities out there, and I'm basically the creator of all of them." He lengthily explained.

"I... didn't understand much of any of that, but I think I get the gist. So, the universe isn't everything like we believe it is then?" Red questioned him, still not 100 percent but unable to deny that this man was as intelligent as he was mad.

"A common error of the parochial mind, there's always so much more to reality than anyone can possibly imagine Red... well, anyone except me." Ash informed him.

"That sounds amazing…" Yellow dazedly stated, finding it more and more difficult to discredit his words, especially when they were spoken with such a practiced ease… like he'd had this conversation thousands of times before. The man gave off a symphony of every note of power imaginable, and his eyes were as ancient as she'd ever seen. Looking more closely at him now; she was starting to see signs of his immense power. She'd seen the way his hand glowed and could sense Red's team overflowing with power.

"Got the idea from Victini." Ash remarked suddenly in response to her thoughts, making her raise an eyebrow at him questioningly. Could this guy read minds?

Ash laughed, "Yes I can actually… I'm a meta omnipath and omnikinetic manipulation master." He added, once again in perfect response to her thoughts. She blanched with shock, while Red merely stared in confusion.

"What about Victini?" He queried.

"Oh, on top of the temporal regression… I also pulled a Victini." When Red still looked confused Ash sighed and looked at Yellow in exasperation as if to say 'what did you ever see in this dude and his density'?

"The Pokedex entry on Victini says that when it shares the infinite energy it creates… that Pokémon's body will overflow with power. Your Pokémon are operating at approximately 500 percent of their species' statistical maximum. Let's just say they'll have lots of excess energy to burn when we have our battle; even though their stat boosts will have worn off by then since they're inside Pokeballs!" Ash declared with an enthusiastic fist pumping into the air.

Yellow's eyes widened, "500 percent capacity?! But that's impossible! A Pokémon can only at most quadruple their maximum base powers at level 100 without the use of choice items or a Life Orb which either saps their health or vastly limits their move pool. Anything beyond that puts too much of a strain on their body."

"Tell that to a Mega Mawile with Huge Power and access to Psych Up for copying Belly Drum and Anger Point Attack maximizers. Pokémon don't have clear cut limitations to their powers regardless of the universe, and the stat calculation system isn't an exact science in any sense.

Plus, has it not occurred to you people that those Pokeballs you use as containers for your mons are also suppressing their powers. It's a proven fact that capturing a Pokémon in a Pokeball prevents it from using its full power. So ultimately, Pokémon having such clear-cut limitations is impossible." Ash concluded his speech in one breath, never once falling short and surprising them with his endless lung capacity.

Yellow nodded like she found that believable, and Red chuckled in a not unfriendly manner. "Always remember you two, there's no limit to how strong you and your Pokémon can become." Ash added with seemingly infinite wisdom.

"Admirable sentiment Ash." Yellow commented with a dazzling smile while Red merely scoffed, though inside he was impressed by Ash's conviction. He wondered what tomorrow's battle would bring, and sighed in relief when they finally reached Yellow's house. He would never admit it, but Yellow had really pushed him and his team to their limits earlier today.

"Thanks for that assessment, Amarillo Del Bosque Verde." He said her full name with a flawless accent and everything… causing her to blush a little. One of the things that attracted her to a man was if they were well traveled and well cultured. Red was well traveled and that had been one of the many things that attracted her to him, and now Ash not only knew her full name but spoke it in the language and with the accent that was intended for it.

"You know her full name?!" Red questioned him with mild surprise.

"You'll see more of what I can do in our battle tomorrow… for now though; I'd really like to impose on your friend here for a bit. Say Yellow, does your offer for tea still stand? I'm curious about how things taste in this T Triple O compared to its counterpart… it'd be reassuring to know I added my own spin on the concept of taste when I created it here without subtracting from what made that primary sense so great in the previous version." Ash rambled like a raving lunatic as Yellow giggled at his eccentricities and Red stared at him like he was nuts.

"You know what, I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. Let's just go inside Yellow." Red irately said, and Yellow nodded before opening the door to let both boys inside… blushing at the thought of having two males with her, alone in the house together.

Her uncle was out on a Pokémon fishing trip with some friends; so it was just her and two admittedly gorgeous members of the opposite sex. She just needed to keep her head on straight and not dwell on the fact that she was a grown woman at the height of her sex drive. Yeah, she could do that for one night. As she followed both of them inside and closed to door behind her, she failed to notice that the storm had passed at absurd speeds… acknowledging the presence of its Peerless Omniarch in the brand new T Triple O

It was with a crimson face that Yellow shuffled into the kitchen after getting Red and Ash settled into the guest room and her world's new arrival got first dibs on the couch and the Television channel.

Yellow had a three-time policy, once a guest had visited her house more than three times they weren't considered a guest anymore; which meant that Red was an honorary member of her household and she could freely ask him to help out around here if he was going to stay overnight.

That in turn meant Ash had some privileges Red no longer did, but being a contributing household member came with certain benefits as well. Yellow made certain to make all who came to her house feel welcome, but Ash would soon learn the difference between a guest and a true friend in Yellow's books.

'Let's review, I've got a man who's literally an alien God in my living room and speaks of things like dimensional tiers and being able to capture Pokémon like Arceus; whom many believe to be a representation of God in Pokémon form. I can't believe this is my life now, or that I would be open minded enough to consider the possibility that he's telling the truth.'

"Hey Ash, milk and sugar?!" Yellow called to the living room over her shoulder, flustered by the fact that she forgot to ask him.

"Yes please!" He exclaimed eagerly, leading her to believe he really liked his sweet tea. She wouldn't drown the drink in the stuff since that wasn't good for anybody's health, but she briefly wondered if human dietary and nutritional needs even applied to him.

Red didn't bother reminding her he liked his tea with just milk, Yellow already knew and never forgot… having always paid an extraordinary amount of attention to details regarding him because of her feelings for him.

He knew he wasn't guaranteed to get a cup from her and would likely get an earful about getting one for himself if he asked her too most days… but she was in a relatively good mood today and decided to be nice to her long-time crush even though he broke her heart.

She was still devastated over the fact that Red basically said he'd never like her back, but she knew she'd get over it eventually… and having a guest in her house for the first time in a while proved a welcome distraction from her own feelings.

She was brought out of her musing by the teapot whistling to indicate the water was boiling, and took it off the stovetop just as her Pokegear started ringing; causing her to pause as she recognized the Hoothoot ringtone of Blue.

"Hey Blue, how's it going?" Yellow chirped when she picked up the phone and multitasked between preparing the tea and talking on the phone. She watched as the tea steeped in the water and listened to Blue's response.

"I'm doing okay, but I just got away from Green's gym and he told me what was going on between you and Red." Blue paused a moment with a slightly fractured breath, and Yellow was surprised to learn she'd been crying.

"I'm so sorry Yellow, I feel like the worst friend in the world. Just so you know, I never meant to come between you and your feelings for Red. You're one of my best friends and I pray to Arceus that something like this won't come between us.

Are you holding up okay? I can come over to your place tonight so we can watch cheesy or sad movies together and curse boys for all we're worth." Blue comforted her with such profound guilt in her voice that Yellow couldn't help but laugh. Blue was a true friend, and had been more torn up over the love triangle she and Yellow were in with Red than Yellow was.

"We'd have to be ferociously out of whack to jeopardize our friendship over a crush Blue; no matter who that crush is on. I could never blame you for any of this even if I wanted to, and I never wanted to blame you, believe me." Yellow spoke soothingly, surprised that she wasn't embarrassed by making this admission in front of Red as she brought him and Ash their tea.

Red looked pleasantly surprised by the topic of her conversation with Blue but didn't say anything, and Yellow was surprised that Ash didn't look confused by what was going on between the three of them.

"He's there at home with you isn't he?" Blue gritted out in a dangerous undertone, and Yellow laughed while Red merely gulped nervously.

"Yes he is." Yellow said with a playful giggle at Red's expense while Blue sucked in a breath on her end.

"Girl, just say the word and I'll give him the cold shoulder, or better yet… maybe we could share him. I'm willing if you are." Blue scandalously offered, much to Yellow's shock and indignation. Ash snickered at that while muttering something along the lines of 'Every man's wet dream come true. Lucky son of a bitch.'

"Who was that? I heard someone else talking." Blue curiously asked her, her hearing shockingly sharp as Yellow nodded before remembering they were talking on the phone and elaborated with actual words.

"I have a guest over as well. It was kinda last minute and unexpected but we found him out and about in that freak storm, so I figured why not?" Yellow informed her, not wanting to tell Blue any more than that until she herself could glean more information from the man about his intentions, and maybe his interests and what turned him on as well.

"Is he cute?" Blue asked her almost immediately while Ash sipped his tea with a contented sigh, seemingly oblivious to their conversation now.

"Very." Yellow admitted with surprising nonchalance, and Blue giggled suggestively on the other end.

"Ooh, maybe there's another reason you're being so forgiving on the matter of Red hmm?!" Blue purred, and Yellow could just imagine her waggling her eyebrows at her on the other line. Yellow blushed despite herself.

"It's not like that, I literally only met the man. Well, it isn't like that yet, I suppose." Yellow whispered frantically into the phone, though out of the corner of her eye she could've sworn she saw Ash smiling just a tad bit smugly at her admission.

"Anyways, about your earlier suggestion to share Red with me; I can't say I'm not tempted by your offer, but I wouldn't do that to you guys. Just promise me… you'll make him very happy, because that's what I would've done. And if you hurt him, you'll find I'm not going to be as forgiving about that as I was about this." Yellow warned her friend, whom she could hear gulping nervously on the other end. Everybody among the Dexholders knew better than to piss Yellow off.

"Fair enough, just so long as you promise to find someone wonderful to spend the rest of your life with. I'd hate to have to play matchmaker with your love life, but if you force my hand I will do so." Blue extracted a promise from her and gave her a warning in return. Now it was Yellow's turn to gulp, both at the prospect of finding someone within a set time frame and having Blue get all in her business to ensure she honored her promise.

"And about your other offer, you can come over tonight if you want… Red and my guest are both still here. I'll say this now; there will be no hanky-panky between you and Red while you are here at my house.

You can kiss him or whatever if you're feeling bold enough, but not in front of me. Just because I've given you both my approval of your relationship doesn't mean I need to see that." Yellow commanded authoritatively, and she could practically feel Blue blushing like mad on the other end as she squeaked in a flustered nod of assent. Yellow giggled at the admittedly adorable sound her friend made, and nearly squealed in delight when Blue said she'd be there in a flash.

It was then that Yellow remembered the storm outside and went to her living room window to gaze at the evening sky, only to find that they were clearer than she'd seen them all day.

There wasn't a cloud in the sky, and she might've been imagining it, but she thought the sun was shining brighter and the sky was bluer. Shaking her head at the absurd idea of Ash intensifying the vibrancy of her world, Yellow opened the drapes to let the golden rays light up the living room.

"More tea Ash?" Yellow asked him, noticing that his cup was empty as Ash shook his head.

"Thanks but no, you go ahead and rest your feet now Yellow. I'm good for now." He kindly vetoed her offer, and Yellow beamed at his politeness as she took the comfy chair opposite the couch where he and Red sat.

"So, have you got a place to stay here in our world Ash?" Yellow asked him curiously.

"Not at this very moment, I have to transport my house over from its previous location in the other T Triple O. I knew I would survive the journey but I couldn't be certain my belongings would make it through the barrier and I wanted to get a lay of this new land before I moved my stuff here permanently." He explained as Yellow nodded.

"So travel between the two T Triple O's is difficult then? I guess that makes sense. You got anyone staying with you?" Yellow continued her 411.

Ash chortled, "Just my Pokémon and I." He answered her airily.

"Really, so there's no special someone in your life, no girlfriends or anything?!" Yellow gasped in mock surprise teasingly, surprised when Ash's face darkened.

"No actually... Though I'm hoping to change that someday. I'm actually in the business of looking for my ESIT Soul Mate in all honesty, wanting to settle down and all that. Though despite my impossibly long life and for all the singing it does in my presence; the ESIT has yet to choose a mate for me. It's rather frustrating." He admitted in an inappropriately serene tone. Yellow wondered why he was holding out for someone special when he could literally snap his fingers and have any girl he wanted; it was interesting to consider the morals of a God from a philosophical standpoint. Did he ever have to answer for anything he did regardless of its immorality, or was everything he did moral by definition, just by its fundamental nature?

"ESIT soul mates?" She repeated inquiringly, not really knowing the difference between it and a regular soul bond, but something about it made her blush for some reason.

Ash was just opening his mouth to reply when Yellow's doorbell rang. "Oh, that must be Blue… I hope you guys don't mind that I invited her over. To be continued Ash." Yellow giggled as she got up to answer the door and noticed Red shuffling nervously in his seat at the prospect of Blue being over.

She felt sympathy for him swell in her chest, and sent him a playful wink which made him blush. As she answered the door, she contemplated a couple more questions that decided to pop into her mind without her permission. What in the world was an ESIT, and what would Blue think of her new friend?

XXXXX

"Oh my God, he's gorgeous Yellow." Blue chuckled playfully when she'd first gotten settled in and seen Ash for the first time. She and Yellow were currently in the kitchen, preparing snacks for Yellow's new guest per Blue's suggestion.

'The quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach', her friend had said… and Yellow wanted to deny any romantic interest she might've been displaying towards Ash, but Blue was a girl on a mission. She was hell-bent on ensuring Yellow didn't have to go without a nice man in her life; not when she'd already lost Red.

"Don't you think this is moving on just a little too quickly for me?! I literally just met the man today, and I've known and loved Red for years." Yellow protested half-heartedly, knowing she might as well have been talking to a brick wall for all the good it would do.

"Are you kidding me?! The man literally falls into your lap just as you're fessing up to Red and dealing with the painful sting of rejection. That's providence honey, and you've got a golden opportunity here to open your heart to someone new. Besides, love doesn't really follow a clock and some people are just meant to be in your life..." Blue dramatically proclaimed, dancing around the kitchen with her hands folded together.

Yellow blushed more furiously than ever at Blue's growing enthusiasm; hoping that a certain person wouldn't listen in on them from the other room. Blue's comment about providence brought an odd thought to her mind, what if Ash had timed his arrival deliberately? With all the powers he supposedly possessed; she didn't doubt it was possible for him to be manipulating them and their feelings.

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention he's looking to settle down himself; said he's searching for a mate and all that." Yellow mentioned offhandedly, and Blue quirked an eyebrow.

"Wow, and so what... he's decided to settle for you? Not that there's anything wrong with it, but like you said you two only just met! Still, true love can blossom between the two of you. Ooh, I can't wait; there will be double dates, parties, and so many wonderful Christmases. And we'll have to plan each other's weddings and be each other's bridesmaids! Just thinking about it gets me all riled up!" Blue all but shouted with passion as the blonde girl's entire body blushed as red as a Darmanitan.

"Don't you think you're getting a little ahead of yourself?!" Yellow squeaked cutely, feeling her whole body burn like a furnace as Blue continued to make her all hot and bothered.

"Not at all! Don't worry girl… I'll help you every step of the way. And if all goes to plan, we'll have that gorgeous guy eating out of the palm of your hand before the month is up." Blue whispered conspiratorially. Yellow's response to that was to faint, the heat of her full body blush becoming too much for her to handle as Blue laughed and took a picture of her friend's peaceful, 'sleeping angel' face before she decided to enlist the boys' help to get the poor, intensely flustered girl in her bed or somewhere equally comfy.

Yellow awoke in the early hours of the morning with a start, wondering how she had gotten in her bed and trying to remember what happened. 'Oh, that's right… I fainted. Stupid Blue, getting me all flustered.' She cursed the brown haired girl inwardly, only just becoming aware of another presence in her room with her that very moment.

Ash was sitting on a chair by her bedside, and was fast asleep in a sitting position. Yellow immediately flushed again, unable to wrap her head around the fact that he'd not only carried her up to her room but stayed by her side the whole time.

'He doesn't even know me, and yet he's being so nice to me.' She pondered the enigmatic man, feeling genuinely touched by his innately good character; despite the fact he could've done literally anything to her in the night and no one would've been any the wiser. Checking the time, she realized it was 3 in the morning and her eyes widened. Red and Blue would've gone to bed in the guest room hours ago. She was horrified at the prospect of them cuddling together in the same bed, but managed to refrain from making a scene and ruining their first night together.

"It should've been me! We were meant to be together; I saw the strings from Kitty's String Shot that bound us together. What could possibly have the power to change that?" She mused aloud in a hushed, despairing whisper, and immediately her eyes fell on her sleeping new friend.

For the first time, she noticed a Raichu lying in his lap fast asleep, and Yellow's eyes widened at the sheer, indefatigable energy both the mouse and his Trainer gave off in palpable waves; something she was more sensitive to than the average girl due to her psychic abilities.

It occurred to her that this extraordinary Trainer and his Pokémon needed neither rest, nor tea or refreshments, yet they were human enough to have not lost their taste for such simple and mortal pleasures.

Despite herself and her embarrassment, she wondered if he and his Pokémon still remembered the feelings that came with orgasmic pleasure, or had he grown past the need for such things? His very existence was perpetuated or so it seemed, so surely he had no need for a relationship or procreation; both of which humans and mortal Pokemon alike craved by instinct in order to continue their species.

She had been the first to believe in him and his so called Godhood, it was far easier to accept than she thought it would be… but maybe everything she and her friends had been through allowed her to look at Ash Ketchum as some supercharged version of Arceus in human form; maybe even the strongest version of Arceus of all.

She'd never considered the idea that there could be more than one of that particular Pokémon, but God or not, Arceus was still a Pokémon. 'This is ridiculous, I've only just met the man. Now's not the time to ogle him, even if he is gorgeous. If I'm going to end up being attracted to him, I want to get this right and get to know him better first.' She resolved in her mind as the Raichu stirred in Ash's lap. Yellow remembered him saying his starter was a Pikachu and that he evolved, so this must've been the very same Raichu.

Seeing Ash absentmindedly scratch his starter behind the ear in his sleep and listening to Raichu's squeak of utter content caused Yellow to gush fondly at the sight of them.

Clearly, they both had a really strong bond. She wondered what kind of adventures they'd been through together, and figured she could scarcely imagine some of them as her eyelids grew heavy and drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face and visions of her new friend in her dreams to keep her company the same as he did in the material world. She hoped it wasn't too soon for her to start thinking of him as a friend, because he was certainly there for her like one.

To say Red was overjoyed at the prospect of having Blue over would be an understatement, he was positively ecstatic. On the other hand, he was also nervous about having the brunette of breathtaking beauty sleep in the same room as him, especially since she had no regard for privacy where he was concerned, and stripped to change into her pajamas right in front of him.

Red tried to focus on anything but her tanned shapely legs or her panty-clad butt. And he definitely didn't pop an erection when he saw her topless and realized she hadn't been wearing a bra underneath her shirt. 'Jesus fuck, this girl is going to be the death of me!' He screamed inwardly.

Blue was feeling surprisingly bold and could tell her near total nudity was having the desired effect on Red. She'd been attracted to him for years now, having always felt afraid to come between him and Yellow and overjoyed when Yellow seemed okay with the two of them. She was going to help her girlfriend get with this Ash person if it was the last thing she did; she owed Yellow that much at least.

She knew she was wading in a dangerous pool right now, getting all hot and heavy with Red under Yellow's own roof, but she was through waiting. Yellow may have told her not to get like this with Red while under her roof, but what the cute but terrifying blonde didn't know wouldn't hurt her. Besides, she had a gorgeous man of her own to keep her mind preoccupied.

"Make some room on the bed." She whispered commandingly to Red, who obliged and shuffled further to the side of the bed as Blue crawled in beside and sensually started rubbing her naked upper body and smooth skin up and down his bare back.

She was thankful he chose to sleep without his pyjama tops tonight, for she could now feel the profound effect she was having on him and all the goosebumps breaking out on his skin.

"Blue… I don't think we should be doing this in Yellow's House; it doesn't feel right." Red protested weakly, causing Blue to pause in her ministrations.

"Maybe you're right, but she's gonna have to get used to us eventually Red, and I've been attracted to you for almost as long as she has. We can wait till tomorrow if you really want us too… and we can pick this up at my place or yours if you want. It's up to you." Blue murmured back in a soft, seductive voice.

She didn't want to wait anymore; she'd been waiting patiently for years… but if Red really wanted her too then she would. She'd do anything for him, and besides, one more night wasn't going to kill her.

"I promise, we can pick this up tomorrow wherever else you like, but for tonight can we just cuddle and have this?" Red requested kindly as he held onto Blue possessively by her slim waist, causing her to melt in his arms and nod while nuzzling in his strong chest.

"I think I can do that." She whispered with pure reverence, bringing him into a violently passionate Kalosian kiss that held all her pent up romantic and sexual frustration built up over years, and which she and Red felt all the way down in their toes.

The next day…

The Pidgy's chirped a melodious tone as Viridian Forest came alive. The mid-summer sun penetrated the treetops all the way to the forest floor; lighting it up a barrage of vibrant greens, whites, and golds. Summer on Pokeearth and particularly in Kanto was arguably Ash IBIB's favorite season; though certain seasons on certain planets could give it a run for its money. Winter on the Planet Krypton, Sunrises on the Planet Christmas in the Doctor Who Universe, and nighttime on the planet Vudinox in any Veetox IB's reality was a season all by itself, lasting a grand total of 500 Earth years.

All and all though, he was quite partial to the Kanto Region's crisp, none-too-hot summer air. He was glad to know he'd managed to get his home region right when creating the new T Triple O; pulling a Ben 10 Omniverse with his favorite Pokémon region had not been on his to-do list.

"Raichuuu." His electric mouse eagerly squeaked while sitting on his shoulder, and Ash smiled at him fondly while scratching his starter behind the ear.

"Today marks the day of our first battle in the new set of Omni-Totalities. Raichu, let's show Red what we can do and why Ash Ketchum was the name of a Trainer who beat the Triple O Tournament ten thousand times, not Red. You ready buddy?" Ash fist pumped emphatically while giving his speech, earning a collective, meta-omnipathic cheer from his endless arsenal of different Pokémon.

Every Pokémon from every Omega Omnisphere and Triple O; every Fakemon, legendary, and mythical Pokémon as well as every Ultra Beast and the like. They had access to every form change accessible by their species; whether fan made or exclusive to certain universes, temporary evolution whether mega, supreme, battle bond, or the like. They could alternate between them all at will and had an endless reservoir of Z-Powers at beyond Omni IB levels. He could even create custom-made Z-Moves for his Pokémon to achieve any desired effect no matter how absurd.

All his Alola Pokémon could become a Totem version of themselves and drastically boost all their stats by Aleph: Infinite stages or higher; his Ultra Beasts could use a Sovereign variant of Beast Boost Aura to immeasurably increase all of their stats as well, and of course his Ultra Necrozma had the mightiest Totem Aura of all his Pokemon... boosting all of his stats by the most supremely infinite value, that included his critical hit capacity, natural evasiveness, and accuracy. That was something most normal Totem Aura Boosts could not do. All of this culminated in his being the Triple O Champion of Pokemon ten thousand times over, and now that he was the AIBIB of a brand new T Triple O; he was going to be endlessly revered and hated by all who wished to be him.

He wasn't surprised that he was the first one up, because even though he and his Pokémon strived to sleep and eat out of sheer habit; it was getting progressively harder not to lose his human traits to the vast powers he now possessed. He had left Yellow asleep in her bed, much too eager to get the day started and wanting to kick things off with a battle against his manga counterpart Red.

'Any idea which of us you're going to choose? Pick me… I'll destroy him! Now, now, I'm sure this matter can be resolved peacefully! Speak for yourself, I'll Psystrike that Poli the Poliwrath into absolute oblivion!' His Mewtwo IBIB piped up in a random display of differing personalities, each one popping up at random intervals and speaking with a different accent and/or different sounding telepathic voice. His total unpredictability and infinite number of preferred fighting styles have won Ash many battles and his countless selves could never fully agree on anything.

Unlike the Celestialsapiens however, none of Mewtwo IBIB's personalities needed to be in agreement on anything in order for the personality behind the wheel at the time to take action. Nobody would initially suspect the battle-oriented genetic Pokémon also had an infinitely diverse set of differing personalities and would sporadically alternate between them without a moment's notice. In that respect, he was similar to Thomas IB's Arceus Arion, except he was like Arion with a perpetual case of over-stimulation. All of his personalities were disconcertingly manic and extreme, but that was the only constant among them and didn't make his Mewtwo any less unpredictable.

"I think I'm going to go with a non-legendary team; sorry Mewtwo, maybe next time." Ash laughed, never quite knowing what to expect from the psychic-type.

'Say what bitch, fuck that shit man! Hey, hey now… watch your language kind sir! Oh shut the fuck up mate, nobody wants to hear your faux British accent! Right, like yours is any better! Hey, can you guys shut up for one Planck Instant here, I'm trying to express my irritation towards our Trainer! Fuck you man! Oh, now you done it! Bring it on bitch! ALL OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP OR I'LL KILL YOU..." Mewtwo shifted eye color, personality, and shiny colorations in a never-ending, kaleidoscopic display; all of his infinite selves perfectly aware of one another. Ash shook his head as Mewtwo started arguing among himself, having to refrain from laughing.

"Sometimes I wonder why I designed his personality that way, but hey… at least it makes things livelier, and Mewtwo is totally unpredictable in battle as well." Ash mused aloud, his T Triple O-ranged senses picking up on the fact that Yellow was waking up.

He had been sitting out in the front yard, which was directly in the middle of the forest. He decided to go back inside and conjure up some food to make everyone breakfast, wanting to ease the three Dexholders into what he could do; especially since Blue had no clues about what he was whatsoever.

Walking back inside and into the kitchen, Ash heard Yellow sitting up in her bed and Blue and Red snoring lightly in their shared bed in the other room. Deciding on a simple breakfast of cereal marshmallows and milk; he sprinkled some Enigma berries on top of each bowl of cereal just to ensure everybody got the right balance of nutrition and deliciousness.

Since Enigma berries fulfilled all nutritional, caloric, and taste-based requirements and desires without limit; Ash could give everyone a breakfast comprised entirely of cereal marshmallows and still fulfill every single one of their individual dietary needs in a single meal. The best part was the Enigma berries would inherit the taste and texture of the food it's served with; so it would just be a few more marshmallows in every bowl.

He heard someone yawning cutely as they came walking down the stairs into the kitchen, and turning his head; he saw Yellow walking into the kitchen clad in a Pikachu onesie and rubbing sleep from her eyes. "Morning Ash, did you make breakfast?" She greeted him with mild surprise, looking down at the bowl of strange looking cereal that was definitely not in her cupboards the night before.

"Just something quick and easy; Earth Prime cereal Marshmallows with our world's very own Enigma Berries mixed in for that perfect nexus point of deliciousness and nutrition." Ash declared as though he were a spokesperson for a commercial.

"Cereal marshmallows?" She repeated curiously, having never heard of such a thing before.

"Yeah, I've always found the selection of food available in the Pokémon World to be not as versatile for several reasons. That's why I'm starting the day off by incorporating some Earth Prime or non Pokémon inhabited human world's cuisine into my everyday meal planning. Try some and see what you think." Ash offered her a decent sized cereal bowl as Yellow shrugged. In all truthfulness, cereal marshmallows sounded perfectly unhealthy for one to even bother eating, but since he'd mixed Enigma berries with it she was willing to give it a try.

"I'm impressed, not many people know or appreciate the hidden qualities of the Enigma Berries Ash." Yellow commented before dipping her spoon in the admittedly delicious looking cereal and putting it in her mouth with a healthy amount of marshmallows.

The moment she crunched the marshmallows and the Enigma Berries with her teeth, her taste buds exploded with pure pleasure as her golden eyes widened with shock. She almost choked when trying to swallow her first bite; still reeling when she opened her mouth to deliver her verdict.

"That was the most delicious thing I've ever tasted!" She shrieked with absolute delight. Ash chuckled at her enthusiasm as she continued eating her breakfast with gusto.

"I'm glad you like it, this was admittedly not originally my design; though one could argue it was since I created the brilliant minds that invented marshmallow cereal in every reality, but I digress." Ash shrugged noncommittally. Yellow quirked an eyebrow at him, knowing what he was but still having a hard time coming to grips with it.

"Man, you really are a God aren't you?" She whispered in awe, and Ash looked uncomfortable.

"I know it sounds mad, but my people pretty much invented mad." He replied, and Yellow laughed at his surprising humility.

"What's more surprising is how accepting I am of this. So, you're like the ultimate version of Arceus… in human form or something like that?" She asked him for clarification, and he nodded.

"Basically, yeah… but I'm not interested in garnering any form of worship; especially from the less primitive cultures and worlds. I know in some cases it's inevitable, being what I am and my role as AIBIB will see to that, but I honestly just enjoy playing video games, fighting in the most epic Pokémon battles ever, and many other things.

Just because I am Sovereign Omnipotence incarnate doesn't mean I'm not a person Yellow; Gods can be people too, albeit a different sort of people, but people nonetheless. Having these powers doesn't change who and what I am; they simply highlight the best parts of who I always was." He replied emphatically, and Yellow giggled at his determination to ensure she saw him as just a regular guy.

"You don't need to worry about that Ash; you already seem like a reasonably normal guy… having these powers just seems to add character. Oh, I meant to ask you last night; what is an ESIT Soul Mate?" Yellow stammered and stuttered, hating that she was tripping over her words in front of him.

"The ESIT is the Emotional Spectrum of Infinite Totalities, and is the nexus that binds all sentient beings together throughout a specific Triple O; by our thoughts, emotions, and feelings. The ESIT is the ultimate wavelength and the ties that bind us, as well as the source of all spiritual and emotional energy throughout every version of the Omni Omega Omnisphere. Every sentient being has an ESIT Energy Signature or Aura as it is also called; though some universes also call it our heart gauge, emotional and/or spiritual energies, and many others. For someone like me, my ESIT signature is enhanced beyond the capacity of the ZOF itself much like all our other powers and traits; so we are able to forge forever bonds with those we befriend or fall in love with. Our capacity to love, hate, or feel any other emotion or feeling are as limitless as our powers, and my people don't just mate for life; we mate for eternity.

Those who are able to bind themselves to myself and my mightier creations completely via an ESIT soul bond enter an obligate symbiotic relationship with us, and we enter a bond so strong that we cease to be just individuals and become part of each other. We live together forever in pure bliss and content, free from true strife against one another, free from lies, deceit, and the burden of keeping secrets from one another. It's the strongest bond a Zenith Omnidony or someone like me can have, and arguably the strongest of all soul bonds anyone can experience in any Triple O meta omni dimensional construct. The ESIT is also one of the few constants in both Trans Omni Omega Omnispheres; existing in every reality in some form or fashion." Ash explained lengthily, and Yellow hung on his every word with hearts in her eyes.

"Oh my God, that's so romantic!" Yellow screamed, having always been hopeless in that department. She wondered if she would ever share a bond even partially as strong as that kind with her eventual soul mate, and was envious of Ash for being able to bond with someone on that scale.

"You will find someone someday I'm sure Yellow; it's me I'm worried about honestly. If things keep happening naturally as they are, and I don't see some actual progress in my attempts to find a mate; I might actually have to force an ESIT Soul Bond to occur. Still, that doesn't mean I can't help you find someone while I'm at it; if you don't mind my help that is. At least one of us would be finding their special one then." Ash offered her kindly, and Yellow gave him a radiant smile though she felt her out go out to him for the obvious loneliness he suffered from. She still didn't completely understand the sheer mechanics he abided by, and wondered why he seemed content to let nature take its course where this ESIT was concerned, but it was nice to know he was willing to help her out with her romantic troubles despite facing his own problems with the matters of the heart.

"You're being so nice to me, and you don't even know me. Why is that Ash?" Yellow couldn't help but ask, remembering pondering that very same question the night before as Ash shrugged.

"No special reason, I just think you can do better than Red; especially if he doesn't feel the same way. I've always had a soft spot for anyone having to deal with the pain of unreciprocated love; you deserve to find someone wonderful to spend the rest of your life with." He admitted with a fond smile, and Yellow beamed at him.

"So do you, and I know we don't know each other very well Ash, but I'd like it if we could be friends." Yellow sweetly replied.

"I'd be honored to be your friend Yellow, and thank you." Ash whispered gratefully, and Yellow couldn't help but give him another dazzling smile at that. He was friendly, she'd give him that much.

"So, are you looking forward to battling Red?" She curiously questioned in an effort to divert the topic to something less heavy, and Ash nodded enthusiastically in affirmation.

"Of course, Raichu and I have been up since early in the morning; unable to sleep in due to our anticipation. I had at first thought of using my Team's full power-levels to sweep Red and prove my power to you guys once and for all, but then I thought... why not beat him at his own game. If I can battle Red while suppressing my Pokémon's powers to fit this universe's mechanics and win; then wouldn't I be proving my point even more?

It's been a while since I've had a battle in non UV or ZOF terms, and as the Pokémon Champion of ten thousand Omni-Totalities I need to be a master of Pokémon Battling in all formats and on every conceivable scale." Ash lengthily answered her, and Yellow's eyes widened at the enormity of his statement. She knew he was powerful and all that, but to actually block his Pokémon from using whatever world breaking abilities they normally had...

"That's amazing, what else can you do?" Yellow whispered in awe, because despite her best efforts, it was pretty cool.

Ash shuffled uncomfortably, "Zenith Omnidonae have three tiers, the regular Zenith Omnidonae, ZOF Prodigies, and ZOF Masters; the strongest ZOF Masters are called Omni IB Counterparts. As far as I know; I'm the strongest of all the known Omni IB ZOF Masters currently existing. It's honestly more of a question of what I can't do at this point. The ZOF is endlessly self-transcending, T Triple O-encompassing energy, and I'm basically as powerful as it gets." He informed her with a sheepish smile, and because Yellow was fairly good with words herself, she knew what the word omnipotence meant at least.

"So basically, you can do anything? Um, pardon me for asking this, but what are Zenith Omnidonae exactly?" She wondered, listening for any sign of Red and Blue waking up, and glad when she heard some shuffling.

"They're, or we're the most unique creatures in the whole of existence. Zenith Omnidonae are a selective group of Tenth-Dimensional Entities who were chosen by the ZOF to wield infinite power in an endlessly self-transcending variant. Essentially, we can wield omnipotent logic manipulation on a Triple O scale at varying degrees. Some of the lesser Zenith Omnidonae have absolute power over a finite number of alternate Omega Omnispheres... whereas the strongest of us, known as the ZOF Masters; can bend the Triple O itself to our every whim. As I told you, I'm the strongest ZOF Master that I know of, and the only one capable of bypassing the divide between alternate Triple O's and even T Triple O's. But it's not something I tend to make a habit of being arrogant over; I deal with the burden of every being in every Omni-Totality aspiring to be me and to gun for my position and all the things I worked so hard to accomplish. Besides, you don't prove anything by showing off a lot of special powers, a Zenith Omnidony's strength, much like that of a Pokémon's... comes from the heart." Ash sagely indulged her curiosity; speaking slowly so as not to overwhelm her and feeling his heart flood with warmth when Yellow smiled admiringly at him.

"Well said, that last bit was... really profound." She complimented him, and his face burned without his permission.

"When you've lived as long as I have; you pick things up." He chuckled dismissively.

"I can imagine." Yellow agreed simply, and Ash nodded with a smile, glad he and the pretty blonde mortal were on the same page.

"Morning you two, Blue will be with us in a bit. I'll never understand why girls take so long to get ready." Red yawned as he walked into the kitchen clad only in his boxer shorts and looked questioningly at an untouched pair of bowls filled with cereal marshmallows. Yellow blushed profusely at his exposed upper body; knowing he tended to sleep only in boxers and having seen it all before, but it still got her hot and bothered every time.

"Are those Enigma Berries?" he idly wondered, and Yellow responded before Ash could.

"Yes, Ash made us all breakfast. Try it Red, that stuff is so good." Yellow cooed softly, and Ash caught himself wondering how someone could be so Goddamn cute. He wasn't sure what to make of it, all that time spent looking for an ESIT Soul Mate in the previous T Triple O; only for him to start feeling the effects of one happening now?! It was like a kick to the face, and he wished he had thought to do this ages ago; having skated by on the brief and emotionless sexual encounters he had in every Triple O's mightiest ZOF goddesses until now.

Red nodded stiffly while working out the kinks in his neck and back and took a bowl of cereal into the guest room. "He takes a while to wake up, but I bet his Pokémon are brimming with excitement at the thought of battling you. So, what's your game plan Ash?" Yellow asked him, not expecting an immediate and specific response, but that was what she got.

"Raichu, Infernape, Krookodile, Sceptile, Greninja, and Omneon. That will be my six-Pokémon team for this battle, and Omneon will be my only UV based Pokémon that I use in this fight." Ash told her in a no-nonsense tone, and Yellow couldn't help but appreciate his straightforwardness in his reply.

"Omneon, I've never heard of that Pokémon. What is it, an Eeveelution?" She continued his 411.

"Yep, a very special one actually." He mysteriously whispered, upping her intrigue by eleven.

"Really? How so?" She queried, and Ash smirked teasingly at her.

"You'll see in the battle." He told her without giving anything away, making her pout.

"You sure there's nothing I can do to persuade you to tell me more right now?" Yellow teased back, and Ash's smirk grew a tad feral.

"There are things you could do, but I seriously doubt you'd be willing to do them." He grinned, surprising himself with the fact that he was flirting quite overtly with the blonde; causing her eyes to widen at the hidden innuendo and her whole upper body to flush.

"Sorry." He added afterward upon seeing her flustered demeanor, but to his joy she recovered quickly and grinned right back at him.

"You let me worry about what I'm willing to do or not do Casanova." She wittingly retorted, and Ash had to admit he was impressed. Clearly, underestimating her would be a costly mistake to most people.

"Oh, so there's a Casanova in this universe. That's interesting. I'm curious how his history might differ from that of his prime world counterpart, or what his relationships with his female Pokémon were like; though I don't really care enough to bother finding out." Ash rambled airily, and just like that their playful banter ended for the time being.

"So, are we going to do this or what? Red brought me up to speed last night while we talked, and I gotta say... I understand why he's skeptical." Blue spoke up suddenly, startling Yellow with her otherwise silent arrival in her kitchen and fully dressed much to the blonde's relief.

"I can understand it to. You must be Blue then I take it, its nice to meet you, I'm Ash Ketchum." the Triple O Champion introduced himself, and Blue shook the hand he offered her as she grabbed a seat and joined them for breakfast without even asking if the fourth and final bowl of cereal was for her. She dug in happily, silently impressed by Ash's choice and his inclusion of Enigma Berries to make up for all the lost nutritional value.

"Eat up you guys, and Red, I really hope you have a game plan going into this match, because I sure as hell do." Ash called to the other male in the next room.

"Don't worry, you'll get your fill man; I was up all night brainstorming ideas with Blue... among other things." Red called back, causing Blue to blush profusely and Yellow to quirk an eyebrow.

"You two didn't..." the blonde paused, unable to even finish the thought aloud as Blue shook her head.

"We only kissed and cuddled a little bit; nothing too bad Yellow." She stammered reassuringly.

"Okay, I believe you Blue." Yellow said with a smile, and Blue felt tremendously relieved.

"You're lucky Red's such a gentleman Yellow; because believe me, I wanted it to go further." Blue admitted completely unabashedly, seemingly not caring that Ash was in the room and feeding his Raichu some extra Enigma berries under the table.

"We'll be waiting for you guys outside. I was thinking we could do this just outside." Ash announced as he stood up from his seat and Raichu automatically scurried up onto his shoulder from under the table and sat perfectly perched there.

Yellow immediately started, "Um, sorry Ash, but no dice. Viridian Forest has been a battleground and war zone too many times for my liking. Could we maybe do this someplace else, it took years for the forest to heal from the last crisis in Kanto and my fate is tied to these woods and their current state." She requested politely, but in a strong voice that left very little room for argument.

To her surprise, Ash smiled reassuringly at her. "If it's that important to you, then I can transport us anywhere else in the world you guys like; hell, if you ask nicely enough I'll find us someplace off world even, but I have ways of allowing us to battle without leaving or damaging the forest in any way. If you trust me enough, I can arrange for some altercation of reality to transport us to an infinite pocket universe; one out of sync with the forest entirely. If you like Yellow, I can also sever your symbiotic ties to Viridian forest while still allowing you to keep your powers; that way you don't have to worry about the state of your home affecting your very physiological well being, not that I'll allow any damage to the forest in any case." He spoke in a comforting tone, and Yellow reluctantly decided to trust him.

"Okay, but you have to swear to me that if any damage happens, you'll fix it immediately." Yellow said, refusing to budge from her spot until she extracted this promise from him.

"Of course, you have my word Yellow." Ash promised her, and the Healer beamed at him.

"You mean you actually believe he can do all those things?" Blue looked at Yellow like she was crazy, who nodded without any hesitation.

"I don't see the logic in making such a ridiculous lie Blue, besides... we've been through some pretty weird stuff the last few years." Yellow replied. Both girls were startled when Ash and Raichu literally vanished from the kitchen in a whirl of speed; displacing the air where he once stood with enough force to pop both of their ears and make them scream.

Once they recovered from the shock of seeing Ash literally move at superhuman speeds; Blue gazed at Yellow with wide eyes while the physically smaller girl merely smirked in satisfaction at being right about their world's visitor.

Red and Pika gazed stupidly at the spatially distorted battlefield Ash had literally created and transported them all to, unable to wrap their heads around it. Supposedly, they'd never even left the forest, yet their surroundings looked entirely different. They were in a dome of sorts comprised entirely of pure energy and expanding infinitely in all directions aside from the floor which was only absolute in its width.

Blue and Yellow stood off to the side of the field and looked upon the Celestial display of lights, stars, and pure cosmic energy that made up this shell all around them; their faces expressing their immeasurable shock at the sudden displacement of the forest by this amazing place. Yellow's psychic senses were blaring almost out of control upon detecting the energy all around them, and she fought to reign herself in and remain fixed on the battling field before her surroundings drove her mad.

"This is crazy! I think I'm starting to believe in him now Yellow!" Blue whispered in an emphatic exclamation, and Yellow could only nod in agreement; stunned to the point of incoherent speechlessness.

"This battle will be a full 6 vs 6 Pokémon match, and the battle will be over when all six Pokémon on either side are unable to continue. Do you accept these terms Red?" Ash called out to his opponent, who nodded with an eager smile; opting not to focus on Ash's bunker or whatever this was for now and just see what he could do on the battlefield.

"I accept, now let's do this! I'll start with Pika." Red said as his Pikachu jumped down onto the stadium floor in front of his Trainer from the top of his capped head. He was expecting Ash to start off with his Raichu and was interested in seeing how he and Pika stacked up to them, and since Ash had taken the liberty of healing his Pokémon last night his Team was just itching to get started. Ash's increase of their power-levels by 500 percent had since worn off; as stat boosters often do when a Pokémon is recalled, but they were still at their optimum levels of performance without having to go to the PC and Red could feel their anticipation building.

He was surprised when Ash didn't summon Raichu onto the field, having seen the curious way in which he did so and wanting to see where his Pokémon came from; especially since Red's opponent had no Pokeballs of his own anywhere on his person.

"Omneon IBIB, I summon you to the battlefield; now tear it up and show our opponents the true meaning of power." Ash declared in a dynamic pose while raising his right hand high above his head and then angling it down to by his side; like a flag waver. Yellow watched with anticipation, curious to see the unheard of Eeveelution while Blue merely sat on confusedly.

Red and Pika were confused to, but didn't have to wait very long as a massive multicolored portal opened up in the warped space behind Ash and something exited it and landed on the battlefield between Pika and the self proclaimed Deity. It looked like a strange mix of all the Eeveelutions, inheriting certain traits from all of them such as Jolteon's sleek swiftness, Vaporeon's naturally healthy and vigorous sheen, Sylveon's ribbons, Flareon's physical prowess and lean musculature, and Eevee's natural cuteness and fur to name a few. Her fur was a glittering, iridescent white that was delicately tinged with every color in the visible spectrum.

She gave off an aura of immense power and radiated energy from all the Eeveelutions various types at once; the air around her was hot like a heat wave, humid like a Misty Terrain, and overcharged with static electricity all at once, and though Red couldn't sense it... Yellow felt a Fairy Aura coming off her as well. There were other energy signatures mixed in as well that the blonde could only somewhat identify as being all the known Pokémon types and more besides.

"Omne, Omneon." The Eeveelution purred cutely, looking at once extremely happy to have been chosen for this match and not too surprised when her powers lowered themselves to match MV strengths and mechanics. Her Trainer had taught them to fight as well with power limiters as they did without them; to the point where Ash was the undisputed Triple O Champion in both UV and Multiversal terms. She loved, honored, and respected her Trainer for all he had accomplished and done for them all; he had lead them to victory time and time again and she had little doubt he'd do so again in this match.

"Ash, she's beautiful!" Yellow couldn't help but announce plainly in awe, causing the very special Eeveelution to blush at her gushing praise and Ash to grin with pride for his Pokémon.

"Thanks Yellow... She's Raichu's ESIT Soul Mate." He responded merrily before returning his full attention to the battle. Yellow remembered their conversation about the ESIT from before, and nearly teared up at the thought of this Pokémon and Raichu being able to bond on that level. Once again, she felt envious of Ash's race for being able to get that intimately close with someone. Blue merely gazed onward in confusion and decided to simply enjoy the battle, and Red was just getting over his shock at the prospect of a Pokémon he'd never seen before just randomly popping onto the Battlefield. He had no idea what to expect from her, and could tell Pika felt the same way; he supposed he could open up with something like Thunder Wave and hope it paralyzes her. Even if she had an ability like Magic Bounce, which some Espeon did... Pika couldn't be paralyzed by any Electric-type attack.

"Thunder Wave into Volt Tackle, let's go." Red commanded first, deciding to take the plunge and get things moving as Raichu fired off a wave of yellow Electricity which proceeded the yellow mouse Pokémon as he darted across the terrain while coated in pure electric power. The familiar adrenaline rush that accompanies a battle surged through all four combatants' bodies, and Ash dynamically thrust his fist into the air as he initiated his and Omneon's counter measures.

"Alright, Let's use Extreme Evoboost." Ash commanded while Raichu cheered his girlfriend on from the sidelines; an action that had both Yellow and Blue gushing fondly at the pair. Omneon nodded with an unnervingly confident smirk as Pika's Thunder Wave did indeed bounce harmlessly off her and the diamond shaped gem attached to the bracelet on Ash's right hand started to glow with kaleidoscopic lights.

Red and Pika gasped as a wave of unknown energy radiated off of Ash and connected to his Pokémon; while Ash did the Eevium Z battling pose, which was the same as the Normalium Z's. The surprise of what they were doing caused Pika to back off before his Volt Tackle could hit; not wanting to take a chance with an unknown as Omneon disappeared in a whirl of speed and reappeared on top of Ash's head before jumping down in front of him once again.

What was more surprising to the Dexholders was the avatars of all the Eeveelutions and Eevee alike appearing in a circle around Omneon and firing beams of various colors at their fellow evolution Pokémon. When the lights died down enough for Red and Pika to see their opponents clearly again; they saw Omneon reemerge in a dazzling display of multiple glowing downs covering her body; each one a different color and indicating a sharp boost to a different stat.

"Shit, he just sharply boosted every single one of her stats; her defenses, offenses, speed... everything." Red grit out in frustration, impressed despite himself even while knowing this just got ten times harder, and being unable to hit her with status moves was real irksome as well.

"What... Was that?" Yellow asked dazedly once she recovered her wits; while Blue merely struck a thinking pose.

"I remember overhearing a conversation between Blue and Professor Oak; about something called Z-Moves in the faraway Alola Region. Like a Mega Ring, it uses a bracelet and some special stones, but Z-Moves don't change the Pokémon's type or appearance and are essentially extremely upgraded versions of regular moves. There's a Z-Move for very move type and a Z version of every status move. Extreme Evoboost I think is Eevee's signature Z-Move, and can boost all of its stats like what we just witnessed. I wasn't aware this Eeveelution could use it to, and as far as I knew before this match only Eevee could use it... none of its evolved forms should be able to." Blue informed her knowledgeably, and Ash smirked at that.

"Under normal conditions you'd be right there Blue, but Omneon is aptly named; she can do everything the other Eeveelutions and Eevee can do and do them better a lot of the time. She's also a combination of every existing Pokémon type and has Meta Ability Emulation for her special ability, allowing her to trace and copy any 5 existing Pokémon abilities in any Triple O and beyond. Regardless of whether they're unique to a certain Pokémon world; Omneon can have any in battle ability she or I want her too, and for this battle I've chosen Magic Bounce, Adaptability, Clear Body, Lightning Rod, and Air Lock." Ash informed them, much to the chagrin of Red and and everyone else present.

"That's nuts... how can a Pokémon have five abilities?!" Red exclaimed inquiringly, astonishment surging through him as the battle took a slight pause and he and Pika contemplated their options. He realized that not only were electric-type moves useless against her, but Omneon also couldn't have her boosted stats lowered, be crippled by status, or be effected by weather changes. On top of that, Adaptability made all of her STAB moves much more powerful. There was one way he could lower Omneon's boosted stats, but it required a successful Haze from his Poli the Poliwrath.

"Hang on, if Omneon is an all-type Pokémon or whatever, then does that mean all her moves get STAB and Adaptability boosts regardless of their typing?" Yellow quickly deduced a second before Red could, her eyes wide with incredulity at how powerful Ash's Pokémon was now.

"Very good Yellow, I was wondering if you guys would catch on to that. Yes, Omneon is the most powerful of all the Eeveelutions in the whole of creation; mine is the strongest of her species and while we may have only won about half the battles we fought together, we picked up a thing or two along the way." Ash told them all, eager to stop talking and continue the battle as Red decided to do the smart thing and recalled Pika.

"Sorry buddy, but I want you in reserve against a Pokémon you can hit with your Electric-type moves." Red told him as Pika nodded understandingly and ran back to Red's side as his Trainer fingered another of his Pokeballs. His decision now settled on Poli the Poliwrath, Red thrust the Pokeball of his very first Pokémon into the air and saw him materialize in a sphere of white light.

"Poli, set up with Belly Drum and use Protect to shield from enemy attacks while doing so." Red commanded the same combination attack he used to sweep most of Yellow's team the previous day. The thing about Protect is it got harder to use consecutively, but the first time it was used it could protect the Pokémon for up to thirty seconds or so from most attacks, more than enough time to set up a fast Belly Drum. He knew using Haze would reset Poli's heightened stats unless he could fire it far enough away from his body; luckily, he trained the Water and Fighting-type for exactly that purpose. Ash grinned like he was hoping Red would try to set up, and to everyone's shock his Z-Ring started glowing again.

"You set up as well Omneon; use Extreme Evoboost twice more." Ash commanded, executing that very same dance at a superfast pace; two times consecutively. The Avatars of the Eeveelutions appeared again, but this time there was a pair of each of them, two of Eevee and all its evolved forms fired beams of multicolored lights at Omneon. As Red and Poli finished setting up Belly Drum for max attack investment and depleted health; Omneon finished executing the duo pair of Extreme Evoboost Z-Moves for plus six in all her stats.

"Not good, really not good!" Red cursed his bad luck, wishing he hadn't given Ash the opening to set up two more Extreme Evoboosts but realizing he couldn't have known that Z-Moves were able to be spammed.

Blue's eyes widened with apprehension as she turned to Yellow who remained oblivious to the marvel they'd just witnessed. "I believe you now Yellow; that he's more than he appears. The amount of energy required to do one Z-Move is immense; there's no way any human could have done it three times in a single match like Ash did. The amount of energy needed to spam them like that... it's astronomical, and he doesn't even look like it fazed him!" Blue whispered to her friend, and Yellow saw Ash in a different light.

She already believed in him, but seeing such overwhelming evidence to support his proclamations of Godhood gave her a sense of extreme satisfaction. Red was always after her not to be so naive and believe in someone without proof to support that person's claims, but now she could proudly say she'd been right about Ash all along. She may have thought him a little bit lightning-addled at first, but she was the first to believe him, and she was right. She wasn't intending to gloat about it, but maybe now Red wouldn't be so quick to question her judgment of a person's innate character.

"Nice work Ash, you and Omneon have set the stage perfectly." Yellow cheered for him in a zeal of passion. She normally rooted for Red during matches such as this, but Ash and Omneon were perfectly set to start clean sweeping and she couldn't help but get caught up in the spirit and enthusiasm the two of them exuded.

"Moon Blast barrage Omneon!" Ash shouted with another dynamic fist pump as an avatar of the moon appeared above Omneon and dozens upon dozens of blinding orbs of pink light blitzed towards Poli in every direction he could've run to.

"Quick Poli, use Haze and then Protect in combination, and make sure you use Protect after the first move is well away from you." Red instructed while Ash whistled appreciatively. Red's Poli was able to make full use of Protect without the succession failure rate being an issue; his combination moves were impressive. However, if Red thought resetting Omneon's stats was going to be that easy, then he had another thing coming. The Poliwrath was encapsulated in a green sphere of energy and the first dozen or so Fairy-type attacks collided with it in an onslaught of meteoric crashes; as though the countless moons from across the universe were raining down on him in a Celestial blaze of glory from the heavens.

The Protective barrier just barely held on, but the attacks still reverberated off of it in a long, gong-like note; an oddly chilling sound that sent shivers up Yellow and Blue's spines. Red was floored by the pure devastating power that super Eeveelution possessed, and some insane part of his brain told him this was just the tiniest taste of what his opponents were truly capable of. For the first time, he found himself almost daring to believe Ash and his Pokémon were Gods; if they weren't... they were by far the strongest opponent Red had ever faced.

"Now… use Psychic to control the remaining Moon Blast, and disperse the Haze by rotating your ribbons at super speed." Ash rapidly devised a countermeasure, and Omneon immediately complied while seizing control of her pink orb with an outline of blue psychic energy. As the Moon Blast halted in midair; Poli's hold over his Protect attack began to fail and Omneon started rotating her Sylveon-like ribbons like a series of helicopter blades out in front of her.

The timing was perfect, the gust of wind blew the Haze attack back to whence it came at much greater velocities than before, engulfing Poli in a plume of purplish smoke that lowered its max attack stat back to its base levels. The Haze attack cleared along with Poli's Protect, just in time to catch the blast from the single remaining Moon Blast that Omneon had kept in suspended animation while waiting for this very opportunity to strike.

The structural integrity of the dome must have been infinite, because the way that Moon Blast shook the very foundations of it would have shaken anything less than that apart. Poli was catapulted 20 feet into the air and landed in a sorry looking heap well behind Red, swirly eyed and knocked out colder than cold. There had been no scream of pain, just an instant KO, and Red felt the seeds of worry sowing inside him as he ran to check on his first Pokémon partner.

"Poli! Are you okay buddy?!" He cried out worriedly, while Yellow and Blue both looked on with concern. Blue had half a mind to shout at Ash for going so overkill with that attack, but settled for running out onto the field to check on Red and Poli instead. Taking this first round of the battle as a small timeout, Ash sat down in a meditative pose with Raichu congratulating his mate for the win in front of him.

Yellow's eyes narrowed as she made her way over to them, unable to believe how anyone could be so nonchalant when someone's Pokémon could be seriously hurt. As a person who hated to see her Pokémon get hurt, Yellow couldn't stand it anymore and she didn't hesitate to make this pointedly clear. "How can you just sit there and be so chill like there's nothing wrong?! Poli could've been seriously hurt!" She demanded furiously, and Ash lifted his hands in a placating gesture.

"Whoa, relax already Yellow; no excessive harm has been done to Poli, I can promise you that. It looks bad yes, but that was the point of this battle; once Red realizes I arranged for life support and battle damage suppression he'll no longer be as shaken up. This first bout was merely a demonstration if you will, but beyond being one hit KO-ed; Poli has not suffered any injuries whatsoever. Think of it like him being put on some mild Anastasia, the attacks will still have the knock out effect and everything if they're powerful enough to knock our Pokémon out, but it's literally impossible for us to injure or badly hurt one another.

We can tire one another out and make each other dizzy and such, but beyond that… Just trust me okay." Ash explained reassuringly to her. Yellow stared at the man in shock, unable to believe what she had just heard; from what Ash told her, his dome allowed for an almost completely harmless form of battling to take place, something she would've given anything to have at one time. She felt her respect for him grow immensely in those moments, and allowed herself a dazzling smile despite being furious at him only moments before.

While Ash and Yellow conversed on one side of the dome, Blue made her way over to Red and an unconscious Polly and put her hand on his shoulder; giving it a soothing squeeze. "Hey, is Poli okay?" She softly whispered, wanting to be there for emotional support in case Poli was truly hurt. She couldn't believe Ash right now; how could Red's opponent so callously flout the fact that Poli could've been seriously hurt, or worse?

There was a difference between friendly battles and a bloody death match, and that last attack was powerful enough that it could've been fatal. Just as she was prepared to march back over to Ash and give him a piece of her mind, Poli groaned and sat up, sounding more like he was a little achy than in excruciating agony. To say both Red and Blue were surprised by his complete lack of any injuries would've been an understatement, but Blue wasn't about to complain about how lucky they were.

"Poli, thank goodness you're okay. I don't understand though, how could an attack like that not have injured you even slightly?" Red pondered the enigma standing in front of them while Blue merely glared in Ash's direction.

"He's okay you guys, you're bloody lucky he wasn't seriously injured you know Ash." Blue called after the man, who sat there smiling with seemingly inappropriate serenity. Even Yellow looked extremely pleased by whatever they had been discussing, and she was happily humming a little tune under her breath.. Blue's eyes narrowed at his response.

"Actually, it wasn't luck." He said mysteriously. Blue was running severely low on her reservoir of patience, and was just about to demand an elaboration on that statement when he beat her to it.

"I planned the whole thing you guys, I knew my Pokémon could control their powers to an art form if need be, but just in case... I also arranged for a battle damage suppression field to be worked into this dome I created. Basically, our Pokémon will never be able to take any dangerous amounts of damage because the field I created disrupts the flow of energy in our traded attacks before they can hurt our Pokémon to any serious degree.

In the extremely unlikely event that the level of damage exceeds the suppression field's capacity, I've also built healing properties and unrestricted resurrection powers of all kinds into the dome as well; ones proportionate to the magnitude of my own abilities. One could literally bring a Pokémon back from the dead in here if need be. You'll soon see that I can do things you humans can't even begin to imagine." Ash explained to them with such otherworldly calm that nobody could find it in themselves to doubt his words anymore. Even the ever skeptical Red had limits to his unacceptance of Ash's capabilities.

The implications of what he could do finally began to sink in as Blue feared for the sake of their world if he ever turned on them. It suddenly occurred to her that if he ever acted against their best interests; there wasn't a force on this earth that could stand up to him. She didn't want to feel afraid of him when he seemed to be a genuinely nice person, but all-powerful beings were not the kind of thing their world was built to handle; she couldn't help feeling scared.

Red's entire worldview changed in those moments, the thought of Pokémon becoming supreme examples of their species a foreign concept until today. He'd seen some pretty messed up shit over the years, but this one topped them all. Yellow was the only one among them who seemed neither scared or majorly mind fucked; she did wonder however, how and why it was so easy for her to accept everything he was.

That wasn't to say she wasn't nervous of him, she certainly was to a degree, but beyond that she wanted to get inside that head of his and see what made people like him tick. The very idea that there could be anyone like him out there fascinated her beyond reason, and like a person who was given clues to unraveling the secrets of the universe; she wanted to see where this journey with Ash led.

"If you wish to withdraw from our match for now Red, you're more than welcome to battle me again later when you've managed to process all of this; just know that no harm will ever come to our Pokémon whilst we are battling each other." Ash promised him.

"Withdraw?! Are you kidding?! I've never forfeited a match in my damn life, and I don't intend to start now! Let's keep going!" Red declared resolutely.

"Wait, Red, are you sure about this?" Blue nervously queried.

"Sure I'm sure, this guy doesn't scare me! If he was going to do us harm Blue he could've very easily done so by now! So far, his actions don't portray a man with hostile intentions towards our world, and I doubt any of us could stop him if he did have hostility towards us. So, if you ask me... there's no point in worrying about it.

If he's good he's good, but if he's bad then we're all dead anyways; so, I say we finish our match and see if he can beat me when we're battling on my world's terms." Red responded lengthily, laughing hysterically at the enormous incredulity of this situation. The world truly must be mad if it attracted the attention of this sublime figure; the red eyed, raven haired teen would be better off if he went along with it in any case.

Ash's answering grin was maddening, "The T Triple O's I created was mad long before I showed up here officially! Let our battle continue! Omneon, you're on my darling!" He declared with the slightest zest of insanity bleeding through in his voice. Yellow face-palmed at his antics, wondering to herself where she found guys like this as she and Blue made their way back to the sidelines of the stadium; watching from a safe distance.

Omneon had been off with Raichu playing in the farther reaches of the dome, but instantly reappeared on the stadium upon hearing her name called, Raichu not a split-second behind her. She could feel that her triple set of Extreme Evoboosts were still in effect, and while nowhere near her Triple O Champion levels of power, they were most impressive by any non UV standards.

"Omneon!" She cried out with glee, eager to get the battle back on and tapping a four-beat rhythm with her front paws on the faintly glowing floor of the dome.

Red knew his chances of success against that Omneon were minimal at best, but he couldn't give up without at least trying to take her down. He had to admit it hurt his rock hard pride to know he'd never be as powerful as this guy and his team; he could train, train, and train some more until his heart exploded, and it wouldn't make a damn difference. Still, he was the one who challenged his opponent in the hopes of exposing him as a false God; now it seemed Ash had turned the tables on him.

He was caught in an unwinnable situation; there was no way he could realistically expect his team to pull out a win. Still, he wouldn't be Red if he wasn't tenacious until the bitter end, and if he was to go down he'd do so in a blaze of glory. He'd go down fighting, and would do his damnedest to take as many of Ash's Pokémon down with him before he did so.

"Lax, you're up buddy!" Red released his Snorlax next, deciding to go straight on the offensive.

"Snorlax, Snore," The sleeping Pokémon said his name, determined to carry his own weight, however immense it was. He gave a single, tumultuous stomp with each foot that would have the world's strongest sumo wrestling humans quivering with apprehension, and which shook the very earth beneath their feet.

"Heavy Slam, let's go!" He commanded, hoping to rack up the damage enough to at least take that Omneon down. Lax hastened to carry out his Trainer's wishes and jumped straight up while a metallic sheen covered his body. He did a complete downward turn in midair and catapulted straight at Omneon, ready to slam into her with the full force of a freight train.

"Protect Omneon, and then use Hyper Voice!" Ash countered their every move with practiced ease as a much brighter green sphere than Poli's Protect attack shielded Omneon from harm and the giant Snorlax ricocheted harmlessly off of it like a rubber ball bouncing off the walls. The strength of the shield was rendered almost impenetrable by the Omneon's maximum defensive stat boosts. Just as Lax rolled like a bowling ball to Red's side of the field, Omneon released an ear-splitting cry that created a solid mass of sound waves.

The Omni-directional concussive burst reverberated across the entire cupola, hitting Lax with the full force of a plus six boosted special attacking move. Lax was thrown clear off his feet and landed with a dull thud at Red's feet, and it was only because of the Snorlax's immense bulk that he just barely managed to tank the hit. And even then, his health meter displayed itself as a zero and he was already teetering back and forth; clearly on his last legs.

Red gritted his teeth at the immense power that Omneon possessed; there was no way he was getting past her, let alone Ash's entire team... unless. An idea struck him, and he quickly pulled Lax's Pokeball back out and recalled him in a beam of red light.

"Aero, I need your assistance!" Red announced while lobbing the Aerodactyl's Pokeball into the air and watching it split open on the ground. A few seconds later, and the resurrected fossil Pokémon flapped his mighty wings with confidence and power. "Aerrrrooooooooo," The prehistoric Pokémon gave a ghastly wail that would've had many Pokémon running for the hills. Red knew there were two moves up Aero's sleeve that could turn the tide; but he'd have to make sure Omneon couldn't KO him before he could use them.

"Omneon, use Psychic," Ash commanded, and Red hid a smile. 'Gotcha!' he declared inwardly, before he ordered his next combination of attacks.

"Use Protect, then banish Omneon with Roar!" Red commanded with glee, unable to believe he was going to be able to eliminate those stat boosts and get rid of Omneon temporarily at the same time.

He was so caught up in his excitement; he completely missed the subtle traces of a smile on Ash's face. The familiar green sphere materialized around the formerly extinct Pokémon, successfully blocking the Psychic attack attempting to claw its way to Red's signature Flying-type. Aero tucked his wings in and inhaled a massive gulp of air, only to release a truly terrifying roar in Omneon's direction. Unfortunately for Red and Aero, they forgot one crucial detail, and it resulted in the Roar attack reflecting off of Omneon's Magic Bounce and hitting the Aerodactyl instead; immediately dematerializing him in a beam of light that shot inside of the Pokeball Red captured him in.

"Shit! I completely forgot about Magic Bounce!" Red swore, feeling his personal high ebbing away the second he saw his strategy backfire.

Blue and Yellow continued to watch the battle with utter fascination. "So Magic Bounce even works against moves like Roar and Whirlwind? Wow, that's rough! Red's getting his butt kicked out there." Yellow whispered to Blue, the brunette only able to nod in awed silence.

"That was a valiant effort there Red, but Magic Bounce reflects nearly every status move out there. You pretty much lost your chance of eliminating my Omneon's stat changes when your only Haze user bit the dust. If you want to beat her, you need a new strategy!" Ash called out to him, having already proven his point regarding his powers and partly wishing Red wouldn't continue dragging this out. Still, he had to respect the red-eyed man's tenacity; he adamantly refused to give in until the fight was truly lost.

"Alright Saur, you're on my old friend." Red stated determinedly, lobbing his trusted Venesaur's Pokeball into the air and watching it release the Grass and Poison-type in an orb of light. Saur gave a mighty stamping of his feet and planted them firmly in the unusual ground of this battling dome they were in; not questioning who they were facing or why they were where they were… only acknowledging this was a friendly but intense match. He felt determination fill him to win this match for Red, and gave a loud battle cry as he stamped his big feet challengingly once more.

"That's a sturdy looking Pokémon Red, and you've trained your team very, very well. You have every right to be proud of them, and no matter the end result of our battle you guys can hold your heads high. Honestly, suffering a defeat at my hands is nothing to be all bent out of shape over; I honestly question whether this is actually a fair fight. Even with my Pokémon's powers limiters in place; I still have some extremely… unnatural advantages, and I can't help but feel bad for accepting your challenge now." Ash admitted guiltily, causing Red to look down in remorse; hating that his situation was making Ash feel bad. He was actually enjoying this fight if he was being honest, and one thing he knew for sure was that wherever his opponent got that diamond shaped gemstone; he bloody well wanted one of his own.

"Hey, don't blame yourself too much man; I was the one who challenged you… remember!" Red reminded him, able to just barely make out the traces of a smile on Ash's face from across the field.

"Yes, but I agreed; I figured it was the best way to validate myself and my capabilities to you all, and now that I've done that… I can't help feeling like a bully for dragging this fight on and smashing your team around like it's going out of style." Ash rebutted Red's initial argument, but to both their surprise Yellow piped up.

"Will you stop already?! God Ash, look… I've been paying attention this whole fight and I can honestly tell you that Red gave you the opening you needed to set up all three of those Extreme Evoboosts when he used his Protect and Belly Drum combo together with Poli. Trainers use Protect to set up stat boosters all the time or they set up while their opponent is setting up. You just had the better set up method, that's all, not to mention the better-rounded stat booster; so stop feeling like a bully and finish this fight already.

What you're doing as a strategy has been done before and it is a perfectly accepted fighting method in all the official tournaments. Maybe Red will take this as a lesson to not let you and Omneon set up those ridiculously strong set of stat boosts next time. Right now though, you have the perfect stage set, and it would be a waste to throw this match for the sake of sparing Red's pride." Yellow explained to him with mild exasperation. Ash couldn't help but smile at the girl's insight; Yellow was surprisingly wise beyond her tender human years.

"Damn! You tell him girl, when a woman wants you to listen to what they have to say… they make sure you're damn well attentive!" Blue smugly proclaimed with pride for her friend, causing Yellow to flush sheepishly.

"I just wanted to reassure him he wasn't being a bully!" She stammered in that cute, shy voice of hers Ash was growing increasingly fond of the last day or so.

Ash felt better about his situation now and opted to carry on the fight no matter what his moral compass said. It would have been different if he was battling Red with his Legendaries or with his team's full IBIB powers in place, but he wasn't, and that made the fight perfectly fair.

"Alright, time to use an offensive Z-Move. Go, Omneon, let us shatter our opponents psyche and open their minds to our peerless strength. USE SHATTERED PSYCHE!" Ash IBIB roared with pure power, his Z-Crystal glowing with a pinkish light as the space of the dome around them warped to something right out of a movie about outer space. Red and Saur didn't wait around to see what that move did, and the Pallet Town prodigy ordered a Protect from him as quickly as possible.

Saur was almost instantaneous to respond, and conjured the familiar green shield just as Omneon's Z-Move took effect and the Venesaur was thrust around inside of the psychic Z-Space like a pinball, shield and all; hitting walls of solid psychic energy and bouncing around at ever increasing speeds. Finally, just when Red thought he'd get motion sick from following Saur's involuntary movements, he hit one final wall of pure energy with a resounding crash, and the wall of psychic energy was shattered by the impact of the Grass-type's body hitting it; bringing down the entire Z-Space while he was at it.

Saur was launched into the ground at terminal velocity, landing hard on the unyielding ground of the dome yet only suffering enough damage to knock him out in one blow. Red reeled back with shock upon finding yet another of his Pokémon fainted at the hands of that Omneon despite using Protect; wondering how he was going to counter its sheer might when an answer literally came to him, and he chose one of his newer Pokémon from his belt.

"Weavile, I need you buddy!" Red called out one of the Pokémon he caught during his journey in Sinnoh. He may not have been a professional Pokémon catcher like Crystal, but he got by just fine. And this Pokémon in particular may have been the key to him beating that Omneon, maybe even clinching the match; if he played his cards right.

"Use Double Team and Protect for coverage, then copy Omneon's stat boost with Psych Up!" Red ordered quickly, and Ash's eyes widened with horror as he learned what Red planned to do. Red never had any need to use Psych Up like this before, and he prayed to Arceus that it worked. He'd swapped Weavile with the Nidoking he used against Yellow last night purely on a whim, using his Pokedex to instantly transport his Poison/Ground-type in the PC; he never imagined Weavile could turn out to be his salvation. If Weavile could pull this off, he may have ended up securing a place for himself on Red's A Team; this would work, it had to work.

"I forgot Red had a Weavile; he never used it in our battle!" Yellow remarked, and Blue nodded.

"He must have switched Pokémon this morning using his Pokedex!" Blue replied, impressed by the ingenuity of Red's strategy. Few Trainers out there could make proper use out of Psych Up, but she had full confidence in Red and Weavile to do so.

Weavile, true to the speed of his species, complied with astonishing speed; summoning a vast army of illusory copies of himself and having them all imitate his use of the move Protect. For what seemed the umpteenth time that day, the green sphere appeared around all of the copies and Weavile alike; confusing Omneon as they all ran at her in unison.

"Use Power Trip on all of them!" Ash exclaimed in a slight panic, and Red's eyes widened for a second; before he recovered and threw Ash a grin. Weavile had already successfully used Psych Up and copied all of Omneon's Stat Boosts. At this rate, even a move like Power Trip would only do so much damage, and against a Dark-type; it would do even less damage still.

"Um, what attack was Power Trip again?" Yellow wondered, having yet to come across it in her battles and still refining her knowledge and skills.

"It's a Dark-type move, and its power increases for every stat boost a Pokémon using it has. You know how moves have a certain amount of natural oomph to them even before things like STAB and the Pokémon using them are taken into account; well Power Trip's natural base power is one that isn't fixed. It starts out at a base power of 1, and increases by approximately 20 percent for every stat boost." Blue explained as Yellow quickly did the math in her head.

"That's a base power of 600 after three Extreme Evoboosts, Blue; that's nuts. That's like getting hit by a black hole!" Yellow gasped in unbridled awe, and Blue giggled at her friend's enthusiasm.

"I'm kind of surprised Omneon can use it actually; Power Trip is potentially the most naturally powerful of all Dark-type moves. I wonder what else Ash and Omneon have up their sleeve." Blue grinned at the prospect, wondering how she would fair against him compared to her boyfriend and wanting to see how Red's strategy penned out.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield; Omneon's feelers whipped out at breakneck speeds and swatted away one Double Team duplicate after another while exuding unimaginable, dark-type menace and glowing with an aura blacker than polished obsidian. All the Weavile clones faded away and the original was nowhere to be seen; resulting in Ash and Omneon tensing in their posture and readying a counterattack to any unseen assault.

"Be ready Omneon, time to put that impressive bulk of yours to use." Ash shouted with an excited gleam in his eyes. This match just got extremely interesting, and it was only because of his powers that he was able to follow Weavile's lightning fast movements as he carried out Red's next command.

"PUNISHMENT WEAVILE, FULL BLAST," Red roared emphatically at the top of his lungs, imploring Weavile to win with every ounce of his battling spirit. Weavile complied with such rapidity that even Omneon's plus-6-speed-stat could no longer match it; smashing the Eeveelution with his clawed hands for all he was worth while giving off an overpowering aura of darkness seemingly drawn from the deepest shadows themselves. The explosion, or rather the mini nova that followed rivaled the raw destructive energies of the legendary Yveltal at its strongest, and would've leveled the entirety of Viridian Forest and all of Kanto were it to carry on unabated… but the dome's integrity held up against even an onslaught of this caliber.

Yellow and Blue were knocked on their asses and sent skidding away from the battlefield while Ash and Red managed to stay standing, the latter unable to see through the fog of shadows that Weavile cast over the terrain with the pure, devastating force of his attack. 'I haven't seen power that strong since…' Red paused in thought as he remembered the time when that Lugia healed all of Kanto. The scale on which Legendary Pokémon concentrated their power, whether it was for destructive or healing purposes… was always insane and encompassed an entire Region at the very least. Weavile's current power now rivaled that of a Legendary Dark Type, and it was astonishing and terrifying both at once; if it wasn't for the dome, Red and Weavile could've inadvertently caused a lot of damage. Still, the fact that they could truly go all out in this warped space and nothing could happen to them or anyone else… he grew excited by the prospect of it, and there was no way Omneon was still standing, was there?

To Red and Weavile's incredulity and disbelief, Omneon was still conscious, but also on her last legs. One more attack like that and Weavile would win. As Yellow and Blue recovered from the shock of that attack and the astronomical power it possessed, they both rounded on Red with an anime-style vein popping on their foreheads. "Did you have to cause such a ruckus?! That was completely uncalled for!" Blue shouted at him while Red and Weavile sweat dropped and Yellow simply sighed in exasperation; her anger already ebbing away at the smiles and laughter both Trainers were sharing at this very moment.

"That was amazing Red, you found a way to turn my own power against me, and Weavile's use of both Psych Up to copy Omneon's maxed stats and Punishment to turn our own stat boosts against us… WHOA, I'm still geeking out about that! That was inspired man, you were bloody awesome… your team was fucking fabulous. Unfortunately for you guys, Omneon and I still have one final ace up our sleeves, and it's high time we used it. Go sweetheart, use Baton Pass!" Ash raised a fist above his head and fist bumped the air as Omneon nodded and smiled sweetly; conjuring a red baton and twirling it in a hand construct comprised entirely of energy… energy that would pass along all of Omneon's stat changes to the next Pokémon in line.

"OH NO!" Red shouted, unable to believe he didn't see this coming and bracing himself for an onslaught as Ash called upon his next Pokémon.

"Infernape, time to go bananas my old friend, now let's do this!" Ash shouted defiantly to the heavens and everyone at large as the Fire/Fighting-type Monkey Pokémon emerged in a blinding sphere of golden light that shone like the sun.

"Infernape, APE, APE…" The crazed monkey screeched maniacally while slapping the ground with his hands and jumping all around the place in a rampage, like a gorilla going absolute apeshit. His eyes narrowed as he locked gazes with Weavile, and he grinned cheekily as he felt his power levels skyrocket to their maximum capacity in canon game terms; clearly, one of Ash's other Pokémon had Baton Passed him a triple set of Extreme Evoboosts. Infernape slapped the ground once more, and screeched challengingly like a banshee right out of hell as both he and Weavile were off at their Trainer's command quicker than grease lightning… meeting in the middle of the battlefield in a clash of titans that shook the whole of Viridian Forest right down to its roots.

Author's Notes: And that's it for this chapter you guys. For the record, this story only has ties to canon where it is convenient for me; otherwise, it is AU around the point that the Kalos chapter starts. Red having a Weavile on him is just one of many things I plan to deviate from the canon Manga for; it's a solid Pokémon, hits hard and fast and Red was able to use it in a nick of time to use Omneon's own power against her.

So yeah, be expecting to see more of that Weavile as my story progresses. Also, I know I haven't yet established an antagonist for this series but take heart my friends; there will indeed be one of equal weight to AIBIB himself. I can't reveal all my cards just yet, but rest assured it will be a doozy.

AIB was, is, and shall remain the most powerful character I have forever created; so be expecting the problems he faces to be equally as challenging for him and those he grows close to. Him being more interactive with his creation will give some people something less abstract to blame when life is cruel to them, but that's just the tiniest example of the kind of messed up shit this poor bastard is going to deal with. I really am kind of excited to see how this all plays out, and I hope some of you are too.

Also, while Yellow and Ash IB are going to be an item; it's not going to happen right away, there will be an attraction between the two of them almost right from the get go, but they aren't going to be screwing each other's brains out for a good long while. In any case, dating AIB will come with its own set of tremendous problems and challenges as well, and Yellow is going to be a difficult time prioritizing the importance of her eventual boyfriend's role in the Omni-Omniverse over their relationship. When it comes to people with great destinies sometimes you've gotta let your relationship with them take a backseat. Ultimately, they're going to work through it, but it's going to take a lot of effort on both their parts and there's also the shit with the antagonist as well. Now, feel free to let me know what you guys think of this with a review, but as always; I don't respond to flames. Omniarch is signing off now.

Updated and revised on May 16th, 2018 at 12:30 AM. I do hope you all enjoy the changes I've made, and understand that they were necessary due to constant fluxes in my stories and characters. :D
