Okay, this is the boys' story; that means the girls' story is done. This one might have more characters than the girls, so it might take a little longer before the planned fanfic is out. Don't worry, I'll be fast.

Oh, and since this is a fic that combines the anime, manga, and games, you might find overlapping details, such as the experiences of Ash, and of Red, are now one and the same, although his name will interchange, sometimes called Ash, sometimes Red. Anyway, they're the same person, you'll hardly get confused.

Also, time-wise, the "World" story happens after the "Sky" story, whether by a few hours, a day, or weeks, depends per chapter, and per reader interpretation.

Enjoy~!


Express Victory

"Pikachu, dodge and use Volt Tackle!"

I saw Pikachu dodge the Vine Whip and rush towards the opponent.

"Whoa! That was so cool! Thanks for the battle, mister. I never thought I'd be able to battle a Dex Holder." I kneel down on my right knee and ruffle his head. "You were great. Just practice some more. How old are you anyway?"

He says he's 9.

"Just one more year and you can begin your own journey." He grins and nods. "Yeah" and went on his way.

"Hey, Mister Celebrity. Don't go smiling yet. I can't believe you battled in the middle of our date." She doesn't mean any malice in it; she just pouts. "Sorry" I gave her a toothy grin. Arceus, she's so beautiful, especially when she pouts. I don't know how I could be so lucky. I love her.

"What are you thinking about?" She's still pouting. I snatch a kiss from her, and she kisses me back. "Let's go, I heard of this place that serves great ramen and I read their Torchic teriyaki is their best seller."

The day passed quickly, and our date is coming to an end. I take her somewhere romantic and cliché; a walk by the beach.

While we walk, my mind began to wander. I've faced many losses and wins. I've dealt with a lot of Mythical and Legendary Pokémon. It makes me think what I should do next, and where my life is heading.

How many times have I gone through victory?

While I began to seek answers, Yellow was in knee-deep at the tide, and threw some water at my direction. "Hey." I rush in, play, and splash water her way as well. We walked to shore and she jumped at me, probably to make me eat sand. I couldn't keep my balance and we fell. I look at her again, when she gives me a kiss while she is on top of me. We both know where this is going. I kiss her back, and we fall into a moment of consummation.

We return back together and meet up with Leaf and Blue. I can tell by their smiles that they were on a date of their own. We all meet up, and stop in the city for the night. They smile at us and ask us how our date was, and we strike a conversation.

The atmosphere feels…normal, not so much thrilling like in a battle, but I like it as much. Without the, I don't know where I'd be.

I know that being a Champion and Pokémon Master is just a win, but with my friends and Pokémon by my side, it'll be the victory that will be worth achieving.
