Ash chuckled darkly as he passively gazed at the Poker Table; it has been two weeks since his life has changed, two weeks since the one thing that he had expected happened, the very thing he had expected from his so called 'friends' happened. Truth be told, he had expected it to happen sooner but it was better late than never.

Ash chuckled once again as he took another huge pot, finally he was free. Ash smirked as he remembered the last month of his life, the last month of his old life.

After having competed in the Sinnoh League, which he finished in fourth place, his group, including Brock and Dawn, went to his hometown, or should he say, his former Hometown, for a short vacation. After arriving at Pallet Town, they were met by his mother, Professor Oak, Tracey, his friends that accompanied him during his journeys to their respective home region, and Professor Oak's new apprenticed, name Craig. After seeing Oak's new apprenticed, Ash instantly tensed, he already knew who he was and his background without him actually introducing himself to him (explain later).

It seems that his info about him was absolutely accurate, one hundred percent accurate, he was good con artist and at swaying people to his side and he was an excellent seducer of woman, evident to the fact that Misty, May, and Dawn where already head-over-hells crushing on him, something that he was very thankful for, he was grateful of their friendship but not with their crushes on him. Still, even with his distrust, Craig still attempted to befriend him and because of distrust of him, he decided to accept his friendship but he wasn't fooled with his charisma, he knew that he was going to betray them.

And he did, after two weeks with them, he betrayed them and he was waiting. He knew, because of the information that he has, he knew that Craig was and still is a crook working for an organization that belong to the world that he has been apart for the past six years. As he expected, he was after Professor Oak's private and confidential files about his research. He was expecting him to come and he did. Unfortunately, Craig was expecting a bit of struggle and he came prepared but it was not enough against him and he ended up stabbing him in the shoulder before knocking him out.

Although the police was there and saw what happened, Craig has gain the friendship and the adoration of most of his friends and he had convinced them that he had set him up stabbed him for no apparent reason, Ash first thought that his friends and family won't believe him but he was wrong, they were instantly against him after some sweet words from Craig, something that he expected from his friends but not from his mother or from Professor Oak.

The backlash cause by that incident almost cost him everything, a case was instantly filed against him for attempted murder, his trainer's licenses was revoked and he could not renew it for six months, his mother kick him out of the house, and his friends downright hated him. But again, Ash had expected it but it still hurt, he thought that his mother and the professor will always be there for him and he always thought that after all the things that he had done for his friends that they would trust him and be loyal to him, but it seems that the theory he first formed when he first meet them all was correct.

"Well at least I got over it quickly," Ash mumbled as he beat another gambler out of the poker table. "That and at least I proven myself innocent of all charges." Ash added with a smile as he remembered the court proceedings.

He knows that the police, even Officer Jenny witness Craig's heinous act and he was a sure win in the court but he wanted to make sure it was his victory. He had contacted his 'connections' to the 'other world' to dig up dirt about Craig and what they found was quite outstanding, they found enough dirt to put Craig away for his entire Goddamn life but Ash took pity and decided that he will only give enough information to discredit and to put him to prison for five years.

He had given enough proof to convict Craig for his attempted thief and even to put him to prison for five years, that and he has our maneuvered Craig for a confession that he was indeed trying to steal those files and that he attempted to stabbed him and he merely retaliated, something that caused Ash to laughed and Craig to attacked him in anger, which caused Ash to give a him very hard punch to the jaw and a very hard punt to the to the temple. That little moved cause Craig to be taken out of the court in a stretcher. The last time he checked, Craig had a severe concussion which he was force to endure in the prison, where he will rot for ten years for attempted thief, for attempted murder, and for assault.

But even with all of that, even after having all the facts shoved to their faces, they still believe that Craig was innocent and that he had set him up because he was jealous of him, something that caused Ash to laugh at them before leaving Pallet Town, taking all of his Pokémons with him. He had expected his friends betrayal from the start since he met them but it didn't made it less painful, Professor Oak not believing him was a low blow but he could endure that, but the fact that his mother didn't supported him and believe someone that she had only met for only a couple months hurt him deeply but still it was to be expected considering her mother's history.

"Oh well, looks like dad was right about mom, she's way too easy to manipulate." Ash said in a sighed as he beat the last gambler in the table. "It's my win gentlemen." Ash stated as he took every chips in the table.

The old men around the table all glared at Ash before stomping angrily away from the table, Ash chuckled as he patted Pikachu. "It seems that I'm going to expect an attack on me later tonight." Ash said to his sleeping partner.

"You always have the devils luck on you, especially in terms of gambling." Ash heard a voiced exclaimed as he smirked, he already knew who the person behind him was.

"Hey Dad, I see you got my message." Ash said as the man behind him suddenly walked in front of him, causing Ash's smile to become wider. In front of him was a man wearing an expensive black suit. The man was easily in his mid-thirties. He has a very muscular built and his eyes were dark brown, his raven hair was long, reaching down his shoulder. He was very handsome and has a large scar running across his right eye all the way down his neck. But the one thing very noticeable about him was the fact that he look like an older version of Ash. He was Alexander John D. Deverde, Ash's illegitimate father and also the head of the Deverde Mafia family.

"Of course I got your message, son. How are you, are you feeling okay." The man asked in worry as he sat down, facing his son.

Ash chuckled at the weariness in his father's tone, he may have been absent in the majority of his life but he still love him, something that he was very thankful for. "I'm fine dad, like I told you before, I expected my friends to betray me or abandoned me like this, it hurt a bit but I got over it." Ash explained to his father.

"I know but my informants told me about what happened between you and Delia." Alexander seethed as Ash merely sighed sadly.

"Even I didn't expect that but I think it's necessary, especially now that things are getting crazy for me and for my company, we are getting too many clients and our stocks are increasing every day in a pace that would make it difficult for us to adjust, my company will need me for now so it's better this way." Ash said as he glanced at his father warily.

Alexander was taken aback by the look that his son gave him before sighing "So it's finally going to happen huh." Alexander exclaimed as Ash nodded. Alexander sighed as he stood up. "We need to talk but not here, this place is too crowded for the information that you have right now." Alexander stated as Ash nodded.

"How many of your guards are here dad, as far as I know; only my illegitimate grandparents, my step-sister, Uncle, and Lady Relena knows that you have a child outside the Deverde family?" Ash asked as he gather all the chips that he has won in the gamble. "And Deverde family rules state that the boss should not have an illegitimate son, I really don't want to cause you any trouble dad." Ash added as Alexander chuckled.

"I came here alone, although Elena really wanted to come." Alexander stated as he glanced at his father with a smile.

"How is my little, sweet step-sister doing, I hope Grandfather isn't setting her up for an arrange marriage, again." Ash mumbled darkly at that thought.

"Don't worry about that son, after what you did last time father tried to give Elena away in an arrange wedding, let's just say no one in their right mind would attempted that again." Alexander answered with a proud smirked.

"Good, she really should be the responsible for picking her future husband, not grandfather. Regardless of who she'd eventually marry, she would lead the Deverde family with grace and integrity like no other, similar on how you lead it, dad." Ash said as he walked passed his father while pushing a billion worth of chips.

Alexander chuckled as he followed his illegitimate yet beloved son. "I wonder, what will be his reaction if I say that Elena's ideal husband is her step-brother." Alexander mumbled humorously. "Oh well, it's not illegal nor taboo for a brother and a sister to marry each other in the Mafia so I wouldn't mind, especially that you'll finally be a part of the Deverde clan and not be labeled as my bastard son."

(Scene Change)

"How did you get this classified information?" Alexander asked as he read the files that Ash gave. The two of them were currently sitting in his armored, bullet proof, steel coated, weapon loaded SUV, Ash wsat beside his father while Pikachu and his suit case full of money was at the back sit. "Not even my informants could get this kind of classified information; heck information about that idiot is hard to come by, even if he is part of the family." Alexander mumbled as Ash merely gazed at the night sky passively.

"I am the owner, founder, and the CEO of A.P.W.A, dad, and my company is not just a normal Gaming and Pokémon Field Manufacturer, we are also the leading developers of Spy and Military gadgets not to mention that we are also the best detective company money could buy, that kind of information is not even a challenge." Ash stated with a small smirked.

Alexander sighed as he glanced at his son one more time. "If the information in this file is accurate, then there will be bloodshed in the family once I'm through with him." Alexander stated as he glanced at Ash stoically.

Ash merely looked at his father passively. "I've been involved in the underground world and in the Black Market since I was ten, I'm a notorious hacker, informant, and spy and I'm probably the richest Gambler in the underground world, one way or another, I have your back." Ash exclaimed as Alexander merely shook his head.

"Is this the reason why you left Pallet Town?" Alexander asked causing Ash to chuckle sadly.

"You know dad, if that question means why I tolerated my friends when I know that they are the type that will stabbed me in the back when worst comes to worst, then yes." Ash exclaimed with a smile. "Plus its better this way, I'm tired of holding back and hiding in the mask of Ash Ketchum. For a short while, I want to be Ashura Satoshi Ketchum-Deverde, the son of Alexander John Deverde, the boss of the Deverde Mafia Family and the Head of the Deverde Assassination Squad, The Devils Favorite Gambler, The Man with a Thousand Eyes, or any other shit that those idiots in the underworld are calling me." Ash exclaimed as Alexander laughed at those nicknames.

"You really are a strange one son." Alexander stated with a laughed. "You are the only one who would actually befriended a bunch of worthless people who you knew would betray you one day." Ash chuckled at that.

"They only knew the illusion I created to suit their desires dad, they never knew who I am and what I'm doing behind their backs. To this day, I still can't believe that I was able to create a multi-trillion dollar company, to get myself famous in the gambling world, and to get myself involve in the underground world as well as the black market without any of them knowing. It's either I'm a really good at acting or they really saw me as a person who only cares about Pokémons, I would never know." Ash said with a laughed as father and son share a laugh together.

"Thanks son, I needed a good laugh," Alexander said as he suddenly turned serious once again. "But all jokes aside, thanks for the heads up, I'll deal with this as soon as possible." Alexander said as Ash merely stared at him. "Do you need any favor from your old man?" Alexander asked as he glanced at the eyes of his son

"That's the other thing on why I called you dad, do you have any suggestion on to where I could have a decent secondary education?" Ash asked as Alexander almost choked on his own spit.

"Wait what? Are you telling me that you want to go to school to finish High School?" Alexander asked, startled at Ash's question.

"Not exactly, I just need to waste six months of my life before I could renew my trainer's license and seeing that I have nothing to do for the next six month, then I should at least waste time while learning, either that or I'll be spending six months looting casinos and other rich bastards that are on my company's hit list." Ash answered and as quickly as he said those words, his father suddenly brought out a phone and began dialing some numbers.

"Hello Relena…yes dear it's me…..don't worry your beautiful face I'm not assassinating anybody….no I'm not smuggling Pokémons from poachers either…..I'm in Kanto…With who, you really don't need to know that…No, I'm not with Delia….You do know that she hates my guts right…..No, well yes I'm with him, who else do you….You want to talk with him, sure why not, he has something to discuss with you any way." Alexander then handed his phone to Ash which he took wholeheartedly.

"Hello Lady Relena, how are you doing?" Ash asked casually as he spoke through the phone.

"I'm fine dear and you don't have to be that casual around me, you could just call me mom or mama, even if you are Delia's son, you are still part of the family" A gentle voice said in the phone, causing Ash to chuckled softly.

"Sorry Lady Relena but you know I can't do that, Deverde Family Law States that Illegitimate offspring is not allowed especially for the boss, I don't want to cause you, dad, nor Elena any problems in the family." Ash said as Relena giggled softly through her phone.

"But your Grandmamma and Grandpapa already loves and respects you dear, there will be no harm done if you revealed yourself in the family." Relena stated as Ash merely shook his head.

"But if I reveal myself, Elena and I will fight for the title as the next Head of the Deverde Family and you do know that I can't and won't hurt her." Ash exclaimed as Relena merely giggled even louder.

"My little Angel has ways for that not to happen and still have you and her lead the family together but forget that Dear Ash, what do you want to discuss with me." Relena asked with a sweet tone.

"Oh yeah, Lady Relena, do you know where I could get a decent secondary education, I need to waste six months before renewing my trainer's license and I don't want to spend those six months either gambling or running my company full time, that would be boring and irritating." Ash said as Relena laughed through the other line.

"Sure Ash, I know where you could get a decent secondary education; hell I know where you could get a a quality education." Relena stated proudly.

"And where will that be Lady Relena, please tell me so I could call Via to set up my accommodation to whatever region and town that school is." Ash said as Relena giggled.

"Don't worry about that, it's a boarding school. An exclusive and premier school for young people liked you." Relena said as Ash sighed.

"Let me guess it's a school for aristocrats and for the son's and daughter's of rich people that I either beaten in gambling, has connections to the underworld, or uptight snubs that thing they are better than anyone else because they have tons of money." Ash concluded with a drawled tone.

"Well yes, most of them are like that but some are exemptions." Relena explained as she suddenly used a tone of seriousness. "Ash, I know that you are the owner of a very successful company that is slowly expanding into a worldwide company but in order for you to be truly successful you will need allies, both in the business world and in the underworld. You are a very notorious informant and spy and the secret dealing that your company is making is a testament to that and the Deverde family and its allies are your allies but you need more ties as your name is getting more bigger by the day, a for your company, you need to start socializing with other people to get your company some new clients, I know that you and your company are managing, hell you guys are even succeeding in business but a partnership with other companies is not bad as well." Relena exclaimed seriously.

Ash sighed as he heard that kind of explanation, she was right, yet again. "You do know that I value my personal and private life…" Relena didn't even let him finish his statement.

"You need to start socializing Ash, I know that your so called friends will never know nor understand the real you but you need to find decent friends that understands both your worlds, that and you need to find yourself a girl, seriously you're wasting you looks for not finding yourself a girl." Relena exclaimed giggly causing Ash to face fault.

"Please don't bring that up ever again, Lady Relena." Ash begged as he fixed himself. "But your right to some extent, so could you tell me where that school is so I could already acquire my supplies?" Ash said as Relena happily told him where that school is.

"Our Hometown of Platinum City, Sinnoh, University of the Benevolent Saint." Relena stated causing Ash to sigh.

"The very school that your family owns, am I right?" Ash inquired as Relena giggled.

"Of course, Elena is starting her second year in High School, she's a year advance. The school year will start in a month from now" Relena stated knowing that would convince Ash.

"Okay then, I'll meet you there in a week to take the exam. I just need to handle the necessary papers and some other business." Ash said as he handed the phone back to his father.

"I'll be back by morning dear…..yes he gave me another important information…yes I have to kill again, somebody in the family has been doing forbidden business behind our backs…..yes call Adan and tell him we have another hit…ok dear, I'll be careful…love you too…" Alexander said as he ended the call.

"Man my wife is really annoying sometimes." Alexander said an exasperated tone.

"Yes but lady Relena has the right to be annoying, dad." Ash retorted humorously. "I have to go dad, I need to organized and settle some papers for my company and I also need to prepare some papers for my enrollment." Ash said as he suddenly reached his sleeping partner and his suit case that contains a billion worth of cash.

"Are you sure that you want to be alone son, you just got betrayed by your friends, maybe you want somebody to talk to." Alexander said worriedly asked Ash laughed softly.

"For the sake of you not worrying about me dad, I'll tell you a secret, I told you before that my friends will betray me one day because they didn't know the real me, but truth be told that wasn't the time nor the moment not even the place in were they will betray me, truth be told I set it up so they would betray me at that time." Ash said as his father suddenly looked shocked at that proclamation.

"Dad, I didn't manipulate the movements that Craig made but I did manipulate the actions that my friends did around him, I manipulated them so that they will betray me after the fiasco with Craig is over, I set it up so perfectly so that the pain that they will give me is intense, the only thing I didn't manipulate is the fact that mom herself hurt me as well which hurt a lot, but I also anticipated it thus I got over it real quick." Ash exclaimed in a sad chuckled.

"And before you could asked why dad, the reason why I would endure that kind of pain is because I'm sick of it. I'm sick of holding back my real skills and the real skills and power of my Pokémons for the sake of the insecurity of my friends, I'm sick of hiding my true self, and I'm sick of letting other people run my company, I could trust all of them but still I created the A.P.W.A I should be the one running it. In short I don't want to live as the illusion of Ash Ketchum anymore, I want to get rid of that illusion, I want to be the real me, I want to live as Ashura Satoshi Ketchum and what I did back then was the first step of living the life I want." Ash said as he stepped out the car and walked away from his chuckling father.

"He truly is a Deverde, has the mind, the heart, the abilities and the mindset of one." Alexander chuckled as he drove away; he has someone to kill anyway.

Ash took out his phone as he called his most trusted barrister. "Hello Via, it's me….No I don't have any problems but I need to asked you a favor, I need you to prepare a house in Platinum City, Sinnoh, give it the works complete with everything I need for my job and hobbies and make sure that the house itself is prepared to house at least a hundred Pokémons or more will be even better. I'll be staying in Platinum City for six month so you know where to get me when you need me for a meeting and I expect a daily report about the advancement of our company and also a written report about the improvements and changes about the company and I want those reports weekly or if possible daily and before I forget, I also want a daily information about our underground dealings and clients as soon as possible…..Yes I also want a full audit…Okay….Find….Prepare my accommodations within a week's time, I trusting you with this Via so don't disappoint me but knowing you, that will never happen…..Goodbye and see you in a week." Ash said as he hid his phone and walk straight towards his hotel, he has other important business to tend to.

(Scene Change)

"(So this is our new home huh)." Pikachu mumbled breathlessly as he gazed at the magnificent city before him. It has been a week since his meeting with his father and at that span; Ash had managed to finish all of his business, both in the underground world and otherwise and still manage to have a new wardrobe tailored just for him. His new look now consist of a tight black shirt, black jeans that has a lot of pockets and a chain hanging from the waist down, and a long sleeve trench coat that was left open, the trench as well has a symbol of a rose that was in the middle of cross, the symbol of the A.P.W.A which stands for the Association of the Prince and White Angel.

"Yes it is, where going to stay here for a couple of months, I hope that's okay for you Pikachu." Ash said as he marveled at the beauty of Platinum City.

"(Just as long as there is no more holding back, sure I'm fine with it and I'm sure the rests is fine with it as well)." Pikachu stated nonchalantly.

"Good, six months and we can go traveling again but for now, let's enjoy life and I'll enjoy running my business." Ash said in a smile.

"(When you say business you mean hacking, gathering, and collecting information or gambling people out of their hard earned money, then yes you'll enjoy that business a lot)." Pikachu mumbled nonchalantly.

"Pikachu you wound me," Ash stated in a humorous manner. "You know that I don't swindle the innocent, I swindle bastards that have earned their richest through other means, if you know what I mean." Ash said with a soft laughed.

"(Yes and yet you still managed to earn a fortune after swindling all of those politicians and businessmen, how many have you swindle in the years huh?)" Pikachu asked as Ash laughed proudly.

"The only time I swindle people is when I am in a casino and if their playing against me in poker, blackjack or chess, it's not my fault that they don't know when or how to give up. Furthermore, I'm not one of those morons who would make a fortune out of being a con artist." Ash said with a cruel laughed. "Plus I only swindle people that deserve it and it's not my fault if they are complete and utter jackasses." Ash added with a laughed.

"(You really hate aristocrats, don't you Ash)?" Pikachu inquired as Ash merely laughed even more.

"I hate aristocrats that think they are better than others because they have a fancy heritage and a lot of money, I can't stand those people. But still, I'm not a hypocrite, my father, my step sister, my grandparents, Lady Relena, and even I am an aristocrat but unlike those people, we at least give an effort to give something back to the people that made us what we are." Ash exclaimed with a sadistic smile. "Regardless of that, it's time to work Pikachu." Ash said as he took out a document and a Katana.

"(Finally, the only part of your secret life that I actually like)." Pikachu stated with a smile.

"This is my favorite part of my job so let's go and end this, I have am meeting with Via." Ash said as he suddenly mounted his motorcycle. "And I will have to thank her for this motorcycle." Ash mumbled as he watched a carriage being chased by a car by a bunch of man.

(Scene Change)

"Princess please hold on tight." An old man wearing a butler suits said as he tried to get the two Rapidash and carriage under control as they were being constantly attack by a bunch of men in a jeep.

"I'm okay Alfred, just continue." A beautiful girl wearing a very expensive and revealing clothes said with a smile as she struggles inside the carriage.

The butler named Alfred merely nodded at his mistress as he gazed at the hoodlums that were trying to destroy the elegant carriage that he was driving. "Where are those Royal Guards when you need them?" Alfred mumbled in a low tone as he tried to maneuver the carriage away from the men who were planning something despicable to his mistress.

"Just give us the chick old man and we'll let you escape alive." One of the man said as he drove the jeep while occasionally bumping the carriage, disorienting the Rapidash in the process.

"Shut up you damn hoodlums; I would rather die than give you the Princess." Alfred said in determination as the men chasing them laughed at his resolve.

"So be it then," One of the men said as he pointed a gun towards them and began unleashing a barrage of bullets towards the carriage, disorienting the Rapidash even further while the princess merely fell down to her sit as she tried to protect herself from the barrage of bullets.

"Princess are you okay?' Alfred asked as he gazed at his mistress, only to be by a crimson eye and pale indigo once, causing Alfred to almost have a heart attack. "Please don't resort to that method Princess, I'll, I'll…" He didn't finish his statement as the carriage doors were suddenly wrecked open. The jeep was now beside the carriage, the six men riding the jeep were all leering at the princess with a lecherous smile.

"We have a winner here men." One of the men said as they looked at the princess' amazing body with lust.

"Maybe we could have a bit of fun with her before giving her to that guy." One of the men suggested which was answered by a dagger piercing his shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground.

"What the hell," The man driving the jeep exclaimed loudly as the jeep stumbled away from the carriage.

The princess' eyes turn back to a normal pale indigo as she gazed at the person who save her, the sight of a dashing raven haired teen met her gaze as he merely smiled at her causing her to blush a bit.

Ash merely gave her a salute as he suddenly adjusted the speed of his motorcycle so that he was beside the jeep while it tried to catch up to the carriage.

"Who the hell are you?" One of the men asked as they gazed at Ash.

"Pikachu take the bike." Ash said as he suddenly grabbed his katana and stood above the seat of the motorcycle.

"(Sure whatever, just don't die)." Pikachu said with a smile as he suddenly ripped out two wires and began emitting electricity on it as it connected on Pikachu's cheeks due to magnetism.

"Thanks," Ash said as he suddenly jumped to the jeep. "Hello boys, sorry if I have to barge in like this but I have to asked you to back down, I can let you take the princess because she is very precious to my little sister." Ash exclaimed with a smile as a pistol was suddenly pointed at him.

"Don't fuck with us boy," The man that pointed the gun at him spat as Ash merely chuckled.

"It seems like you guys want to end this in a gruesome fashion." Ash said with a smile as he suddenly made a fast motion with his hand, disassembling the pistol in an instant, shocking the six men in the process. "Because I would like that as well," Ash mumbled as he unsheathes his sword and positioned the sword upside down.

"Moonlight Tribute," Ash mumbled as he let go of his Katana.

It was the last thing that those men had seen as they were suddenly cut down into countless pieces together with the jeep that they were riding.

(Scene Change)

An explosion was heard as Alfred suddenly looked behind him only to see that the jeep that was following them suddenly exploded. But that sudden change of his attention was enough as the carriage finally broke down from the damaged that it had endured, causing the Rapidash to scatter and the broken carriage to crash to the nearest railing, causing the carriage to be utterly destroy. That also caused the princess to be thrown out of the carriage towards the forest below, which was a hundred meters down to the ground.

"PRINCESS," Alfred yelled as he watched helplessly as his mistress fell to the ground and towards her death.

"Arceus, I love my job." Ash muttered as he suddenly dove down towards the princess and extended his hand. Ash hurriedly grasped her extended hand, which she unconsciously raised towards him, and at that moment something happened inside the princess's heart.

Time seemed to slow down as the mysterious man grasped her hand, a strange warmth suddenly spread all throughout her body, as she gazed at the elegant eyes of her savior, his hands grasping hers seems to give her great joy and warmth as time suddenly stopped as he pulled her closer to him, embracing her, protecting her as well as causing her heart to beat faster. She didn't know it yet but the man in front of her would play a major role in her life as he had just effortlessly caught her interest and admiration.

Ash on the other hand was merely focusing on the task at hand but yet he noted that the princess was extremely beautiful. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of indigo which completely matched her glimmering hair which has in a shade of magenta, her face was completely calm yet he could sense that she has a mischievous side which is a complete tangent to what he was seeing right now, not to mention that she was extremely beautiful in his point view. As Ash dove down towards her, he was rewarded with a full view of her body and what she was wearing, she was wearing a simple yet stylish top with a black coat on top of it and a mini skirt that he swore was way too short for her own good because it shows her smooth legs and even her top was too short because he could clearly see her cleavage, overall her outfit was showing off all her curves and a body that most women would kill for and most men would lust for. As he embraced her and prepared to throw a grappling hook, he can't help but wonder what was her cup size as he felt an unusual big breast make contact with his chess.

'If I'm not mistaken, the princess is sixteen like myself and yet she has such a well developed body, her breast size is probably what, d-cup or probably even bigger.' Ash thought as he slapped himself back to reality. 'Damn it, focus Ash, focus,' Ash said to himself as he push every perverted thought in the back of his mind.

Ash hastily threw a grappling hook towards a railing near her butler and used the momentum to hurl them upwards. With little to no effort, he had managed to land to the ground with the princess on his arms, the princess was embracing him quite tightly.

"Another ordinary day," Ash mumbled as he smiled at the princess in his arms. "Are you okay your majesty?' Ash asked as the princess nodded, a small blush on her face.

"Good, then that means I can say mission accomplish." Ash muttered under his breath as he helped the princess to her feet, his touch was unconsciously lingering in the princess body, sending a delightful shiver down her spine.

"Princess, are you okay?" Alfred asked worriedly as he approached his young mistress.

The princess merely gazed at her loyal butler and gave him a smile. "Of course I'm okay Alfred and it's all thanks to this man." The princess said as he pointed at Ash, who was still holding his sheathed Katana. At the sight of the weapon, Alfred instantly went between the princess and Ash and pointed a pistol at his face, causing Ash to chuckle a bit, he expected as much.

"Lower your weapon," Alfred stated as his hand twitch on the trigger of the gun. Ash merely shrugged as he let his Katana down to the ground and raised his arms to the air.

"I mean no harm; I was merely a man passing by." Ash said with a smile as the princess suddenly stepped in front of her overprotective butler.

"Lower your weapon Alfred, he was the one who save me from falling to my death and was also the man who saved us from those men." The princess said as Ash merely chuckled.

"Technically that was not my intention princess." Ash said in a chuckled as he gazed at them with his elegant brown eyes. "I'm a hitman princess and was hired to either capture or kill those men, you two were just unfortunately their targets so you shouldn't say that I save you, I was merely doing my job." Ash explained but the princess merely smiled at him.

"And yet you still saved me." The princess said with a warm smile.

Ash chuckled once again at that. "Of course, I can't let a beautiful girl like you die so young, it will stand against everything I believe in if I let you die." Ash answered with a dashing smile. The princess giggled at that as she extended her hand.

"Victoria Maria Del Romania, may I know the name of my savior?" The princess named Victoria asked with a gentle smile.

"You shouldn't bother knowing the name of peasant like me your highness but regardless it's an honor for me to know the name of the next heir of the Atlantrome Kingdom." Ash said as he shook the hand of a startled princess and those words also caused Alfred to point his gun to Ash's forehead and yet Ash was merely smiling at that gesture. "I am not here for the princess, like I told you I am a hitman but I do have a code honor and that honor prevents me for killing an innocent and not to mention a very beautiful girl like her. So please lower your weapon or I'll be force to disarm you for my own defense." Ash said with a smile as Victoria slapped the gun from Alfred's hand.

"Alfred behave yourself, with are in dept to this man." Victoria scolded playfully causing the old man to bow his head in shame.

"I apologized for my behavior Princess." Alfred stated as he bowed his head.

"Don't scold your servant Princess; he was merely protecting you from a dangerous stranger like me." Ash said as he whistled and in a matter of moments Pikachu arrived, riding Ash's brand new motorcycle. "I must be going now Princess, it's a real honor to meet you and I would guess that those are your guards." Ash said as he pointed at the dozen of cars that were closely approaching them.

"The Royal Guards, you got to give it to them to arrive after the danger had subsided." Alfred muttered darkly. Victoria on the other hand was still focus on the mysterious stranger in front of her.

"You have my best regards and I am at your debt." Victoria said as unconsciously tighten her gripped on Ash's hand.

Ash merely chuckled as he thought of an idea. "I am not at you debt Princess, I was merely at the right place, at the right time and you and your butler was caught in the cross fire of my mission but if you truly feel that you are in debt to me, then I'll take the payment for my services right now." Ash said as he gently pulls her closer to him before kissing her forehead lovingly, that action cause Victoria's face to take a shade of dark crimson as well as causing her heart to stop momentarily before beating a hundred times a second.

"Now we're even," Ash told her as he suddenly started his motorcycle and rode away from her. "One day, I would like to see you one more day princess." Ash said as he waved goodbye to the blushing princess.

Victoria merely glanced at him with a small smile and an extremely crimson face. "Now that is a Prince that I wouldn't mind marrying." Victoria mumbled with admiration as he watched her savior rode off.

"(Was that necessary)?" Pikachu asked with a small smile, leave it to Ash to leave with a lasting expression, to a princess of the most powerful kingdom no less.

"Of course, it's not every day that I could kiss a beautiful girl with royal blood." Ash stated with a laughed as he headed towards the city.

(Scene Change)

In a dark room, Alexander gazed at a broken and beaten man passively.

"So tell me Adan, is the information my son gave me accurate?" Alexander asked the crimson man beside him.

"Naturally boss, the info that my nephew gave you is accurate to the letter." Adan said as he kicked the man on the floor, causing the man to spit out some blood. "Wake up you piece of trash, boss has something to tell you before I'll end your miserable life, permanently." Adan spat viciously as the man gazed at the two towering man in front of him.

"You know what Bryan, I'll give you this you have guts, running a prostitution business behind my back even after knowing that that's against the Deverde code and even attempting an assassination plot against me, which takes guts." Alexander exclaimed as he pulled him up with the use of his hair. "But you seemed to be forgetting that I have eyes everywhere and I could see everything happening inside the family." Alexander whispered as the man spat at him. That caused Alexander to throw him harshly down to the floor before wiping the spit from his face.

"Adan, get rid of him, I don't even want to see anything left of him after your done with him." Alexander ordered as he left the dark room. Adan merely smirked coldly as he gazed at the broken man, his two hands glowing bright blue.

"You know what Bryan; you're a complete waste of Aura." Adan muttered as he suddenly summoned his aura weapon, a pair of pistols. "But don't worry; this will end painlessly for you." And with that, Adan pulled the trigger of his weapon, causing a beam of Aura to engulf the man known as Bryan completely, killing and vaporizing his body in the process.

Another normal day in the lives of the Deverde family.
