Chapter 2:Across Kalos
Red and Lillie arrived first in Shalour city. As they stepped off the train and saw the city.
Shalour city was build along the coast with rocky cliffs a beach, and many buildings built on the hilly edges with lots of trees in between.
Lillie looked out at the city with Red beside her.
"Well it's still pretty." Lillie said.
"We're here to find the Gorma remember-" Red started before he saw the tower of Mastery.
The tower was build like a fortress out on an island in the bay with a thin path of sand leading to it.
"The tower of mastery." He said before Lillie grabbed his hand.
"Ah ah ah, what about the Gorma?" She said smiling in a smug fashion as Red sweat dropped.
The two made their way through the city before stopping by the local police station where they met officer Jenny.
"Yes some monster was here early this morning , it looked like a Trevenant with a bunch of men in orange suits with bone armor over them going through the woods , we tried to stop them, but we didn't stand a chance, luckily we had help from the local gym leader, he's an aura guardian."
"What?" They both said.
"Where exactly did the monster attack?" Red asked.
A few minutes later they were searching through the woods near the outskirts of the city.
"Hello." Lillie said as they noticed the area was void of people and pokemon.
"This is creepy." Lillie said holding onto Red's arm as they looked.
That was when Red belt something, something that he thought he felt before at the lab, it was a strange feeling Red had felt a few times in his life, but he never knew what it was.
He had told Ash about it, and he confessed about having a similar sensation.
Red came closer to a tree before putting his hand on it and felt something, one of the creatures from the lab that Alain brought.
"Lillie." Red said as she came over and saw it.
"One of those things."
"Thanks." They heard before seeing a man wearing an old english professor esk attire with a brown hat and pipe. He adjusted his glasses as the two looked at him strangely.
"Who are you?" Lillie asked.
"You can call me Spirtree." He said taking another puff from his pipe before two tree branches grabbed the creature, pulling it to the man in the suit as several individuals in the orange suits surrounded them.
"I don't suppose you could help us find some more." The man said before the men in orange turned into skull grunts while the two in white turned into skull warriors , knight versions.
Red threw a few punches at the man as bursts of fire came out, the main raised his pipe as two roots shot up and knocked them apart.
The two ran at the man who used another two tree branches to knock them away before they pulled out their buckler and spirit battery.
"Go Dino buckler!"
"Brave in!"
The Tyrannoranger and Kyoryusilver armor formed over them before the man with the pipe smiled.
"This will be even more fun." He said before transforming into a Trevenant esk monster.
The skull grunts and warriors ran in first, Ren throwing a few fast strikes into the skull grunts as blasts of fire hit a few, shattering them before Red pulled out his ranger dagger and cut down several more.
Lillie pulled out her blue sword and slashed apart three grunts before catching the blade of the first skull warrior and exchanging a few strikes before whipping her wings out and knocked the sword away before slashing him twice, the warrior reverting to a broken dagger.
Red kicked apart two more skull grunts before hurling his ranger dagger into the last three, shattering them.
The skull warrior ran at Red, slashing at him as Red caught the sides of the swords with his hands kicking it out of the warrior's hands before striking him four times, shattering the warrior.
Spirtree, held his large arms up as several roots and branches tried to entangle them.
Lillie slashed them apart with her sword as Red used fire bending to burn them apart before unleashing few blasts at Spirtree who used his arms to knock them apart.
Red leapt at Spirtree and tried to kick him, but he went right through the Gorma landing behind him.
"What?!" He said in confusion as Spirtree smiled and turned, Lillie tried to slash him, but went through Spirtree and crashed into Red.
"My turn." Spirtree said as he crashed both his arms into them repeatedly. Each time they tried to counter attack, their attacks phased through him. Red concentrated as he unleashed his lightning fast strikes, hitting Spirtree dozens of times within each moment. But each one went through Spiritree harmlessly.
"Didn't you ever learn that you can't strike a ghost." Spirtree said as he unleashed a blast of ghost energy hurling them back.
"Shit another ghost Gorma." Red said as Spirtree came closer before a ball of blue aura hit and knocked him away.
Red and Lillie turned to see a Mega evolved Lucario with a man wearing a grey one piece jump suit. He had whiting hair that came around to the side from the front of his face and grey eyes.
Spirtree turned to the Lucario and unleashed a blast of ghost energy at him, the Lucario leaping up and over the blast before landing a kick into Spirtree's face, Red and Lillie watching in disbelief as the man's hands glowed with aura before he thrusted them forward, a sphere of aura crashing into Spirtree knocking him back as the Gorma grunted, dropping the small creature as the Mega Lucario sprinted over and took it.
"Hmp, how unfortunate, don't think this will stand." Spirtree said before vanishing.
Red and Lillie got up as they saw the man and his now normal Lucario.
"I thought I sent those fools away." He said.
"Thanks." Red said as the man came closer looking at Red strangely.
"Who are you?" Lillie said as he continued to look at Red.
"My name is Gurkinn, I'm the local gym leader. I'd like you both to come with me."
The two followed Gurkinn into the tower, seeing a large statue of a Mega Lucario at the base.
"Welcome to the Tower of Mastery, my ancestral home."
"How did you hurt that Gorma?" Red asked.
"Even ghosts cannot hide from the power of aura." Gurkinn said.
"Officer Jenny said you were an aura guardian, what is that?" Lillie asked.
"Aura is the life force essence that surrounded all life, it is the very spiritual energy of a person and pokemon. An aura guardian is a person or pokemon who has the ability to summon aura and use it."
The two sweat dropped.
"What?"
"You're saying that you can close your eyes and read our souls?" Red asked as Gurkinn closed his eyes before feeling as if another presence enter his own.
"I can see you Red Ketchum, you sufferer from wondering if you've settled in your life and aren't doing enough."
Red almost yelped as he moved back, Gurkinn turning to Lillie.
"You have mother issues."
"Ok you can stop there we believe you!" Lillie shouted.
"What are you doing here?" Gurkinn asked.
"We're here to stop that Gorma and protect whatever those creatures are. Do you know?" Red asked.
"I have some theories." Gurkinn said before hearing something.
"Oh my." He said before heading up the stairs.
"Gurkinn?" Red asked.
The two followed him upstairs and saw saw Gurkinn enter a chamber with his Lucario, the man picking up a baby out of a crib.
The two saw a very young baby in Gurkinn's arms, the girl having the same skin tone and eye color as Gurkinn with hints of light blonde hair.
"Shh. It's ok." Gurkinn said as his Lucario stood beside him.
"Oh sorry, this is my granddaughter Korrina. My son and his wife are doing some work in Sinnoh."
The two came closer.
"Aww, she's so cute." Lillie said looking at the baby before the two saw baby Korrina look at Red. The baby began smiling and reaching at Red, giving happy sounds as she did.
"Wow, she really seems to like you Red." Lillie said as Red sweat dropped.
Gurkinn kept looking at Red.
"Lillie, would you mind watching her for a minute?"
Since they had been married a few months prior, Red and Lillie had talked about when they would want kids. Lillie saw this as an opportunity and nodded.
Lucario stayed with her as Gurkinn took Red to the top of the tower, the two looking out at the city and ocean.
"Red, I'm not the only aura guardian in the world, there are others, each of us trained in the art of aura. Only certain people can become aura guardians, only certain people have the ability to use aura. Those who can, are also able to feel it in others."
Red turned to Gurkinn.
"You think I'm one of those people?"
"I had my suspicions when I first saw you, but Korrina is like me. The way she acted around you, I have no doubt. Red I'd like you to train with me and become an aura guardian."
"….What!?"
"There aren't enough of us in the world anymore. Your skills as a Zyuranger will make it all the easier to train you."
"Uhhh yeah, sorry to say this, but I'm just here on vacation, I don't really have the time to drop everything and train with you. I'm a professional trainer, I live in Alola, I have Zyuranger duties."
"I can sense your aura, I know you feel incomplete, this is why Red. You have the power of aura, it is part of you, without realizing it, you will always be incomplete."
Red held his face and took a deep breath.
"If I'm going to beat that Gorma, I need to be able to touch it. Could you teach me the basics on how to do that?"
Gurkinn smiled.
"I can do that, because when I'm done, you'll be begging to be trained more.
Lillie and Korrina came up to the top of the tower with Lucario beside Gurkinn.
Red had each of his pokemon out beside him. Charizard, Skarmory, Golisopod, Haxorous, Gengar, and Lucario.
Red had his shirt off with Lillie watching in interest.
"The first steps to becoming an aura guardian is being able to feel it, since you already have a background in Zyuranger training. The best start is to open up an aura connection with each of your pokemon."
"Aura connection?" Red asked.
"An aura connection is when a guardian synchs their aura with their pokemon, creating a permeant connection with that pokemon, you will feel each other's thoughts, know each other like you never have before."
"Alright, I'll give it a try." Charizard came forward first.
"Close your eyes, touch his face." Gurkinn said as Red did this.
"Now breath. Slowly." Red did this.
"Reach out, feel the energy around Charizard."
Red relaxed and breathed, as he kept his eyes closed, he began to see and feel something. He saw Charizard but also saw an energy around him. He could feel Charizard's emotions, his thoughts, his feelings. At the same time, Charizard could feel the same from Red, it was like the feeling Red had with Daizyujin and his guardian beast Tyrantrum.
The two opened their eyes and breathed harder as they felt the same feeling stay, the two feeling closer than they ever had before.
"What is this!?"
Lillie looked concerned until she saw Red and Charizard didn't seem upset, but amazed.
Gurkinn smiled.
"You've taken your first steps Red."
Red turned to his other pokemon who seemed interested by what happened.
Red opened up a connection with each of his pokemon and felt each of them, their emotions, their thoughts, he could actually hear their voices.
"This is amazing!" Red shouted in excitement.
"Good, let's keep going." Gurkinn said as he brought Red beside him.
"An aura guardian uses the power of aura to enhance themselves physically. When they're strong enough , a guardian can use aura directly."
Gurkinn took a deep breath and concentrated as Red saw a sphere of aura fly out and burst on front of them, letting out some wind that blew Lillie's hair, Lillie hearing Korrina laugh feeling it.
"Now to summon Aura, you must be in synch with your own aura, be able to draw upon it and use it yourself."
Red concentrated as he tried to do this, taking a deep breath as his Lucario came in front of him.
The two began going at each other trying to strike as they knocked each other's strikes back.
"You're not using aura yet." Gurkinn said as Red kept trying.
In Laverre City, Hau and Cana came off the train and looked at the city around them.
"Alright Cana, let's find that Gorma!"
"No problem, I hunted Gorma long before you were even born sweetie." Cana said as they looked around the city.
"So what is it about this city that you and Lillie fought over coming here?"
"Well we both know the gym leader has a major fashion business and shows. I was hoping seeing them would give me some inspiration for my art. But I also feel a little bad, maybe I should get Lillie something."
"Well I suppose we could take a look after we find the Gorma and figure out what's going on with this plan."
"You're right, we shouldn't get distracted by things like that. We have a job to do." Cana said, not noticing Hau's expression.
They walked through the city together looking at the many women in the city wearing eastern styled dresses.
"I guess the locals like the work of the gym leader." Cana said before noticing Hau's almost tired expression.
However, they noticed noticed a woman with ling black hair and strange grey eyes wearing a pink dress with long wing like sleeves.
She had a few other young women beside her as she handed one of the creatures to nurse Joy.
"I found another one, see what you can do for them." She said as Hau and Cana approached.
"What's going on here?" Cana asked.
"I found this poor creature injured by my tree, something had attacked it."
Cana and Hau looked at each other.
"We're Zyurangers, can you show us." Hau said.
"Zyurangers? Those superheros from Alola , alright."
The two were lead by Valerie and her companions.
"I truly wish we could meet under better circumstances, these monsters are quite dreadful." Valerie said.
"Well that's the life we chose." Hau said.
As they reached the gym, they noticed there was a massive tree growing out of the center.
Valerie led them inside as they saw the eastern style of the gym architecture with a few more of the girls with various fairy type pokemon.
A few were also working on some of the dresses, Cana taking a few glimpses at them.
"Did you see the monster before?" Cana asked.
"Hmmmm, no , but my pokemon did, one of my trainers Clarissa saw the aftermath." Valerie turned to one of the girls with short brown hair.
She put her finger two her mouth.
"I think I do remember seeing a monster that looked like a diglet."
"A diglet Gorma." Hau said before they reached the tree center.
Upon doing so, Cana's tail feathers raised up.
"Cana what's wrong?" Hau asked.
"I can feel something, through my connection to nature." She said approaching the tree and moving her hand across it , two of the creatures appearing.
"Finally, those are so hard to find." Clarissa said as she raised her hands to her head before two red energy blasts flew at Cana and Hau.
Cana's tail feathers turned metal as she knocked the blasts away, Valerie and her other trainers screaming in fear as Clarissa smiled.
"Thanks for leading me too them." She said transforming into a Gothitelle esk gorma monster.
"They were quite hard to find." Gothrik said before two cases picked up on their own and flew at Hau and Cana.
Hau bending a rock up through the wall that shielded them.
"Let's go, Dino Buckler!"
"Brave in!"
The Turquoise Kyoryuger armor formed over Cana as Hau's Mammoranger armor formed over him.
Hau drew his axe and leapt at Gothrik who ensnared an energy whip around him, hurling Hau back into Cana as Gothrik looked back at the tree and tried to ensnare the two creatures with her energy whips.
However, a Sylveon leapt over the tree trunk and took them both before running back to Valerie.
"I always had a feeling you were a two faced bitch." Valerie said before Gothrik was hit by a burst of lava that hurled her out of the gym.
As Gothrik got up she saw the two coming at her.
She tossed a few bones on the ground as a squad of skull grunts formed.
Cana glided down and slashed two apart with her daggers, another four trying to attack her from different directions as Cana used her feet and tail feathers to knock them away before slashing them apart one by one.
He hurled a few metal feathers into the last three grunts, shattering them.
Hau and Gothrik kept at each other, Gothrik unleashing her whips around his wrists before Hau pulled her into him, Hau kicking his foot up as a rock came up and hit her head.
Gothrik tried to pick up a few nearby rocks and hurled them at Hau who drew his axe and smashed the rocks apart before leaping at Gothrik, kicking her back as Cana glided under him and slashed both her daggers across Gothrik.
Gothrik tumbled across the ground.
"Alright if you're all alone, then I can do this!" She shouted taking out an enlargement bomb.
Cana hurled three feathers into her hand, making Gothrik drop it before Hau concentrated and unleashed a large blast of lava into Gothrik who screamed before Cana leapt up and slowly moved her daggers around before slashing Gothrik's head off.
"Got her." Cana said as the two let out relief breaths.
"So I guess those creatures here are safe for now." Hau said holding his hand behind his head.
"Hau are you ok?"
"What do you mean?"
"Ever since we've gotten here you seem almost exhausted."
"Well…I didn't want to say anything."
"About?"
"Becoming a professor is almost draining me. I was kind of hoping this trip to Kalos would cure me, but here we are….."
He felt Cana put her hands on his shoulders.
"Well we did just stop that Gorma."
"Who says we need to report back to the others."
"You mean leave them on their own."
"If we can handle one Gorma on our own, why can't they. Red didn't say we had to regroup immediately."
"But shouldn't we…"
"Take some time, and detox yourself from the stress." Cana said.
Elsewhere in Courmarine city Gary and Mallow got off the train in the upper areas of the city.
"What a pretty bay." Mallow said looking down at the ocean.
Gary took note of this.
"Yeah, it is."
"I wonder where we should start?" Mallow asked.
"I hear the gym leader is a nature guy, he'd probably know."
"Good idea."
The two saw a trio of trainers nearby with two having a battle.
"Hey." Gary said as one turned and nearly jumped recognizing Gary.
Gary sweat dropped as he felt with their fanboy craziness.
"Ok, I just need to know where the gym leader is." Gary said as Mallow laughed a little.
"He's down by the bay."
"Perfect."
Gary and Mallow got onto one of the cable cars and began riding down as they looked at the city again, seeing a few water pokemon in the bat by the various boats.
"So, do you really like Kalos?" Gary asked almost nervously.
"It is vert nice here."
Gary having a moment of optimism.
"But it's not home."
Gary gave an almost crushed expression.
"I see."
Mallow could sense something was up, turning to Gary.
"Is there something you want to tell me?"
"Huh? What? No I'm fine." He said nervously sweat dropping. Mallow not falling for it.
Gary overheard another conversation.
"I hear Diantha signed up for another movie, even though she was suppose to be going to a tournament."
"I really think she's going to choose a replacement as champion soon."
Gary tightened his grip.
The cable car came down to the base of the city and let the passengers out. Gary and Mallow left the car and began making their way through the city along the coastline.
"It's ashamed we couldn't be here under better circumstances." Mallow said.
"I know."
"It's weird, I still feel like I'm getting use to this kind of stuff." Mallow said.
"You never truly do get use to it, trust me." Gary said before they saw what looked like a miniature forest being grown near an area of the docks.
They could see various grass pokemon hanging out inside as they were almost dumbstruck.
"Is that a miniature forest?" Gary asked.
"Well they said the gym leader is a nature guy." Mallow said coming closer before hearing a whistle.
They saw officer Jenny running over with a Manetric beside her.
"Halt, this is a nature reserve."
"In the middle of the docks." Gary said as the police woman sweat dropped.
"…..Gym leader Ramos bought up this part of the docks."
"So he is here, we actually need to see him regarding the monster attack." Gary said.
"Oh you're here, well Ramos is inside, he'll help you."
The two made their way through the small forest and saw a few Skiddo, Jumpluff, Sunflora, and Gogoat.
They noticed the forest seemed a bit damaged, a few trees knocked down.
In the center of the forest an older man was working on a hedge with a pair of small hedge trippers. He was quite small wearing a green shirt and had with white hair and black pants.
He rode around on Gogoat as he worked on the hedge.
He made it into the shape of a Gogoat as the one he rode gave an approving look.
"Uhh hello?" Gary asked before the Gogoat ran over to them and huffed.
"This is a nature reser- Wait a minute, aren't you in the Alolan elite four?"
"Yes."
"Oh I didn't expect to see you here."
"Look we're here about the monster who attacked your nature reserve." Mallow said.
"You are?"
"We came to get rid of them."
"Yes, he came earlier looking for these little things that have been popping up in my nature reserve." Ramos said showing one of the creatures.
"He looked like a man mixed with a Scolipede, he got away with a few."
"He'll probably be back." Gary said.
"Then by all means, please stay."
"I'll go take a look around the entrance, meet back here." Mallow said as she went off, Gary slowly turning back to Ramos.
"Soon, Ramos, I take it that since you're a gym leader, you know about the whole Diantha situation I've heard about?"
Ramos returned to his hedge and nodded.
"Oh yes, we've all heard the rumors that she's gotten more into acting, some say it's because she's sick of being champion, that she always preferred acting, I heard she's fallen head over heels for someone and wants only wants to act with him."
"Sooooo, Kalos may need a new champion soon."
"Yes, the Elite four are already talking about it."
"One wouldn't have to be from Kalos to be the champion would they?"
"Well they'd have to live here. Beat the elite four and earn approval from the previous champion."
"I see." Gary said before he carefully went to another part of the reserve and let out his pokemon. Umbreon, Salazzle, Salamence, Bastiodon, Primarina, and Raichu.
"Ok guys, I've heard some big news, and I'm nervous about asking Mallow about it. I thought I should come to you guys first. So the thing is , I've just learned that there may soon be an opening for champion here in the Kalos region. Now I know we've been unsuccessful in beating Ash thus far, but I have a good feeling that we could seize the position here and finally become regional champions. What do you think?" Gary asked with optimism before the six sweat dropped and then gave an un-approving sound before shaking their heads.
"What? This is our chance! You don't want to do it!? Come on I need your support."
They gave the same expressions as Gary sighed.
"Ok maybe Mallow will think differently."
Moments later as Ramos continued to work on the hedge , he saw a young man in bug catcher attire approach.
"Young man, this reserve is private."
"I came here looking for the gym leader, my name's Kyle, I was looking for a battle."
"Oh, well let's head out then."
As this happened Gary and his pokemon heard something.
The seven moved as three shurikens hit the tree behind Gary.
A Skull ninja and a few skull grunts ran out at them.
"Gorma." Gary said as the Ninja leapt at him, Gary's pokemon each attacking the skull grunts and making short work of them as Gary used his martial arts to avoid the sword strikes and grab the warrior's arms, flipping it over and into a tree before the ninja leapt off and hurled a few shurikens at Gary who bent some water from a nearby pond and sliced through the shurikens, continuing on to slice apart the skull warrior.
Elsewhere, Mallow was looking around when she heard something in the tree, looking up as three shurikens flew at her.
Mallow dove away as a skull warrior leapt down with its sword drawn. Mallow avoiding the slashes before grabbing two rocks and used them to knock away the sword strikes.
She then threw them at the skull ninja and used the distraction to kick his sword away before grabbing it and impaling the ninja with the blade.
"I need to find Gary."
Gary returned his pokemon and sprinted towards Ramos when he saw Mallow.
"Gorma are here."
"I know." Mallow said.
"Where's Ramos."
They heard a Gogoat cry out in pain before following it, they saw a bug catcher holding Ramos and his Gogoat by their throats.
"Where are the rest of them?" The trainer said before Gary and Mallow came into view.
"Gorma!" Gary shouted as the bug catcher tossed them aside.
"Human insects, get out of my sight." He said raising his hand to his face before unleashing blast of energy at the two who leapt aside.
"Go dino buckler!"
"Brave in!"
Their armor formed over them as the bug catcher watched.
"And the warning didn't help me." He said before transforming into a Scolipede esk gorma monster.
He unleashed a series of venom stingers at them. Gary bending some water into the venom and absorbing it.
Mallow drew her crossbow and fired energy arrows at Vennok who used his claws to knock them away.
He leapt at them as his claws glowed with venom.
Gary drew his tri lances and caught the claws before forcing them up.
Mallow tried to slash him with her hatchet, but Vennok revealed a second set of arms made out of nothing but venom that grabbed the hatchet before pushing Mallow back.
Gary tried to pull Vennok to the side, but the Gorma moved with incredibly flexibility, moving his body over and around Gary as if he had no spin and flung himself around ,kicking the two back.
As they recovered, Vennok's venom arms transforming into venom in the shape of machine guns, firing poison bullets at the two as Gary bent water into the bullets, absorbing them.
Mallow tried firing energy arrows at him, but Vennok used his incredible flexibility to avoid each blast.
Gary used his water to slice apart the venom machine guns before Vennok formed two venom blades rushing at the two. Gary and Mallow exchanged strikes with his blades before Mallow stuck her crossbow against his stomach, Vennok contorting his body away before flipping backwards.
"Stay still!" Mallow shouted in frustration as she hurled her hatchet at him, Vennok contorting his body away as Gary bent some water to catch it and send it back into Vennok's legs, knocking him off balance as Mallow fired two energy arrows into his head.
Gary surrounded Vennok in water as he was forced at them.
Gary caught the Gorma with his tri-lances and hurled him over before slashing him twice, Vennok stumbling into Mallow who slashed him twice with her hatchet before kicking him into Gary who turned some water into ice and impaled it through the Gorma.
Vennok grunted as he coughed up some blood.
"I have no choice now." he said pulling out an enlargement bomb and hurling it on the ground.
Mallow and Gary saw as Vennok grew massive and jumped into the bay, causing a massive wave.
"You're mine now!"
"I don't think so, Gozyujin!" Mallow shouted as the ground shook.
Vennok was also shaking as he saw a blue Tyrantrum like armored creature rise up before crashing his tail across his face.
Mallow leapt inside its head as the creature transformed into a blue Daizyujin like being.
"Gozyujin is here to party!" Gozyujin shouted as he danced around in the water.
Gary sweat dropped.
"Looks like he still has some growing up to do."
"…Don't remind me." Daizyujin said.
Vennok formed venom arms as he tried to slash Gozyujin who danced around and avoided each slash before kicking Vennok back.
Vennok unleashed dozens of venom blast at Gozyujin who's horns glowed before he unleashed an energy firework into the blasts, an explosion of energy going around them as Vennok contorted backwards to avoid it.
"Let's mumbo!" Gozyujin shouted as he slid through the water and swept Vennok off his feet before grabbing his arm and pulled him around as he forced the Gorma to dance with him.
"I love this one." Mallow said as she and Gozyujin hit Vennok several times as they danced, punching him twice before kicking him away as they spun around with their arms up.
"Let's make a show of it!" Gozyujin shouted as he glowed red , an energy firework forming around him as he flew into Vennok and carried the Gorma into the air before exploding into fireworks.
Gozyujin flipped as he landed and stuck a pose, not realizing he drenched more of the people in the city with water.
"I'd smack him if I were here." Daizyujin said.
Gary smiled a little.
"He won didn't he."
Ramos and his Gogoat were taken to the pokemon center as Gary and Mallow rode the cable car back up towards the upper area of the city.
"Do you think the others would be mad if we stayed her a little longer?" Mallow asked.
"I can't care."
Mallow smiled.
"Me either."
"Soooooo, you wouldn't mind staying in this Kalos city a little longer."
"Gary what's going on, you've been acting weird since we got to this city."
Gary sighed.
"Mallow, I've discovered that there may soon be an opening for regional champion here in Kalos…I was wondering if maybe you'd think it was a good idea for us to move here."
Mallow gave an almost annoyed expression.
"Gary."
"I can speak perfect Kalos, you're learning it well enough."
"Gary."
"I'm not from Alola and neither is Ash, but we're running the league."
"Gary."
"Kalos is a lovely region, and you'd make lots of new friends, and you know."
"Gary Alola is our home, we met there. My family, our family is there, our friends, the Zyurangers. The Kyoryugers, I don't want to move here."
"Come on, this could be a serious career move for me. I could finally be a regional champion."
"Gary this is a bad idea."
"Why? I deserve to be a champion, if I can't beat Ash, then this is my best chance to become a champion."
"….So you've given up on it."
"I, I didn't say that." Gary said.
"No you said you wanted to stop trying to become Alola champion."
"….I'm more than capable of beating Ash."
"Gary if you're having doubts you can tell me, I want to help you through this."
"I'm fine, I just see an opportunity that I don't want to let go." Gary said.
Meanwhile Moon and Gladion came out of the train in Cyllage city.
"Here we are." Moon said.
Gladion looked out at the city as he got off with Moon.
"So there's a Gorma here. Where do you think we should start looking?" Moon asked.
"Well the city gym leader would know what's happening around town."
" A good start." Moon said as the two walked through the city.
"Do you think Sycamore will be able to find the answers to your stones?"
"I hope…If they are what I think they are, we could do good with them. I could be part of a team."
"Gladion you've always been one of us." Moon said putting her hand on his shoulder.
"I appreciate that Moon, but whenever we fight together I feel like our powers are fundamentally different, I feel like I'm not part of one team but helping another team."
"I don't feel that way." Moon said.
"I don't have the same bond with the others that you do, you guys were a team long before you even met me."
"Have you been feeling lonely?"
Gladion sighed.
"I don't know, it seems like we don't have what we had before. Everyone is off doing their own thing, I've been going to different regions and performing while you've been starting your career, Lillie is running the business…."
Moon put her hand on Gladion's shoulder. Thinking about how he must have been feeling.
"You should have told me how lonely you've been feeling lately."
"Well I was hoping this vacation would help, but now we've been separated again."
"Damn Gorma, ok we're going to have together time on this trip, and if we don't we'll make time back home. Not just you and me, but all of us."
"You think we can get the others to agree to that?"
"It's like you said, I'm a Zyuranger, I can get the others to meet." Moon said.
They reached the gym only to see a closed sign.
"Closed?" Moon said.
"Well that's just great." Gladion said before the two heard a burst from the beach.
They looked down from where they were and saw a fight ensuing on the sand.
On the beach, officer Jenny and two deputies were with the gym leader Grant and his Onix as they battled a group of skull grunts.
"Manetric use thunderbolt."
"Rock tomb!"
Rocks and lightning crashed into the grunts as a man in an old fisherman's outfit stood behind the grunts.
He had a pipe in his hand and took out out, breathing a smoke ring at the pokemon before the smoke exploded, hurling the pokemon and their trainers back.
The fisherman came forward before three large rocks shot out of the ground and hit him, knocking the man back before he saw Gladion and Moon leap in front of him already armored up.
The man dropped his pipe.
"Disrespecting little whelps." He said before transforming into a Barbaracle esk monster.
"I'll teach yee some respect." Seasart said before hurling several rocks at them with water around them.
Moon perfumed a few uppercuts as walls of rock rose up and absorbed the blows, stopping the rocks as Gladion leapt up and unleashed a blast to Qi-power.
Seasart slashed the sand , turning the sand to rock around him as it absorbed the blow.
Moon leapt forward and drew her daggers, smashing through the rocks as she tried to slash him. Seasart using his claws to knock away each strike before kicking her back. Gladion coming down with the Byakkoshinken as Seasart caught it with his second set of claws and hurled Gladion into Moon.
"Arrgh.." Seasart said as he hurled a few more rocks covered in water.
Gladion got back up.
"Qi-power!" He shouted as he thrusted his hands forward.
A powerful blast of white wind hit the watery rocks breaking apart the water as Moon came forward , punching and kicking the rocks back.
Seasart smashed the rocks apart before Moon bent three large rocks into Seasart, knocking him closer to the water as Moon kicked and slashed at his four arms , keeping them occupied as Gladion slashed across his chest and head with the Byakkoshinken.
Seasart rolled into the water.
"Argh, I need to get back to Lumoise." He said vanishing.
Gladion and Moon came at the water.
"He's gone."
"He said he was going back to Lumoise, come on we need to get to the train." Gladion said.
Ash and Serena were on a train as they got closer to Kiloude City.
They saw the southern coast of Kalos with the ocean in view. The small city build near the coastline, a few buildings built around a mansion with stone roads in between palm trees, and plenty of trainers.
"Kiloude City, the city that represents southern Kalosian life." Serena said looking at it.
"Have you ever been here before?" Ash asked.
Serena smiled slightly and nodded.
"Mama and papa took us on vacation here when I was ten. Papa had leave time and mama was in between races, no ryhorn training, just fun and family time. I had some good memories here."
"What was your favorite part?" Ash asked.
"One day on the beach, papa helped me build a sand castle, I asked him if I was a princess, he told me I'd always be his. The next morning the sand castle was still there, and stayed there until we left. I always found that amazing."
"It sounds like the vacation my family had on the Seafoam islands."
Serena's expression changed.
"I had always hoped…."
Ash realized what she was talking about.
"Serena, what else did you do there?"
"Well, we got to go to the battle mansion, which was exciting. I'd never seen a mansion before."
"The battle mansion, I wish we were here on our free time, I'd love to try it out."
"….I wish we could too." Serena felt Ash's hand on her shoulder.
"Can you give me your best souther Kalos accent?"
Serena smiled more and laughed.
"Alright then, ya shouldn't get use to dis, I don like talken like I'm some southern peasant." Serena said as the two laughed a little.
"People from southern Kalos don't really talk like that do they?"
"No, but we always like to pretend they do, just like they pretend we talk like we're all snotty, aristocratic , elegant nobles." Serena said as Pikachu laughed.
The two got off the train and walked through the city, seeing many trainers , several battling with each other.
Serena looked down at the beach and saw some more people there and their pokemon.
She began to think back to her family vacation there and gave a slight smile.
Pikachu and Ash looked around before Pikachu looked at one of the palm trees.
He noticed a series cut mark on the tree that seemed very clean.
"Pika." He said pointing to it as Ash took a closer look.
"Hmm."
Serena saw the battle mansion and began to have a flashback.
She saw herself as a ten year old girl wearing a dress as her mother also wore one with her father in his service dress uniform.
She rode on her father's shoulder as they watched a battle inside.
"Papa it's so pretty in here , can we come back some day?"
"I'm sure we will Serena, and one day you could bring your own children here."
Serena felt a tear come down her face again before noticing a strange man exit the mansion. The man wore a feudal looking padded jerkin with a sword on his waist. He walked past her before Serena turned to him.
She saw the man looking down at a pair of children near a palm tree at the edge of the beach playing with one of the creatures Alain had brought.
The man drew his sword and leapt down at them, Serena gasping as she unleashed a blast of wind, making him miss as Ash heard her.
The children saw the man crash in front of them with his sword drawn. They scream before hearing something else.
"Go Dino buckler!" Serena soaring down as she kicked the man back.
As he recovered, he saw Serena in her Aeroranger armor between him and the children.
Serena drew her bow.
"Go back to your parents." she said as several skull grunts and warriors in knight form came around her.
The skulls minions attacked as Serena elegantly avoided each of their strikes, firing a few arrows and hitting a few with her bow, causing the grunts to shatter one by one before she blocked the swords of the warriors with her bow and unleashed a blast of wind into them as she acrobatically leapt over them, unleashing an arrow enhanced by wind that tore through them both.
The man transformed into a Doublade esk Gorma and drew two blades with his metal body as the last of his grunts were hit by electricity and shattered.
Ash leapt down in his Dragon Ranger armor with the dragon ranger drawn. Ash slashed across Sciword's head and chest, knocking him back as the Gorma tried to slash him, Ash knocking away each attack with his claws and blades.
Ash's armor surged with dragon energy as he unleashed a blast into Sciword, the energy bursting around him as he fell backwards.
Sciword screamed as he unleashed a hundred blades from his chest at Ash only for a small cyclone of wind to hurl them all away.
Serena lept over Ash and landed in front of Sciword , the Gorma unleashing more blades at her, as Serena used a combination of agility and wind to force them away before reaching Sciword with her bow drawn.
Serena unleashed an arrow right into his face. The gorma being forced back as Ash leapt over Serena and came down , slashing him twice before roaring a dragon pulse into him.
Serena and Ash both took Serena's bow as they drew an arrow filled with dragon and Aeroranger energy. The two unleashed the arrow that went right through Sciword who began to spit up blood.
"Change of plans." He said hurling an enlargement bomb onto the ground before the explosion allowed him to grow massive and tower over the city.
"Dragon Caesar, let's go." Ash said as he began playing the dagger. Moments later Dragon Caesar roared as he rose up from the ocean and faced Sciword.
Ash and Serena leapt together onto his head as the guardian beast faced the Gorma monster.
Sciword unleashed his furry of blades at Dragon Caesar who's claws and wings glowed as he knocked each away.
Sciword slashed with his swords at Dragon Caesar who caught them with his claws, the two struggling to force the other where they wanted them to go.
Dragon Caesar hurled his tail around and crashed it across Sciword's face, the Gorma getting knocked into the water.
The Gorma went underwater before jumping up behind Dragon Caesar and unleashed his blade furry at him.
Dragon Caesar turned and roared dragon fire into the blades, shattering them as the fire hit Sciword and burst across, the Gorma crying out in pain.
"Dragon Rush!"
"Grauuu!" Dragon Caesar roared as his body glowed with dragon aura before he flew into Sciword, slashing him in half before the Gorma exploded, Dragon Caesar roaring in victory.
Many people in the city looked relieved.
Ash and Serena returning as they saw the creatures back on the trees.
"Nice job back there, I didn't even see the Gorma. You saved those kids."
"…..I'm glad I could keep some children alive."
"Serena." Ash started.
"Serena!" They heard from a familiar voice.
The three turned in shock to see none other than Alex and Grace.
"Mama! Papa!" Serena shouted before the two ran over and hugged Serena.
"When you said you were coming back to Kalos we'd hoped you'd come to see us by now." Grace said.
Serena sweat dropped.
"Sorry about that, we got a little side tracked."
Alex then noticed Ash and Pikachu.'
"…Ash."
"Bonjour." Ash said trying to sound very respectful.
"I see you took care of that monster." Grace said.
"It's why we came, what are you two doing here?" Serena asked.
"Your father had a dinner here with a retired general." Grace said.
"It's getting a bit late, why don't you come with us back to Vaniville town." Alex said.
"We took care of the monster, I don't know if we ever made a plan with the others." Ash said.
"We insist." Grace said.
An hour later they were in the town, Ash never having been there followed Serena close before they reached her old house.
Ash and Serena's pokemon were out and beside the table , save those too big to fit in the house, as they ate.
"And they made you the first Alola queen, I'd expect nothing less from our daughter." Alex said.
"We've seen your recent performances Serena, simply amazing." Grace said.
"Serena doesn't settle for second class work." Ash said.
"I do my best." Serena said.
"How long are you staying here?" Alex asked.
"Maybe a week, we have to get back to our jobs." Ash said.
"Rubbish, you should just come back here Serena." Alex said.
"I hear Kalos is looking for a new champion, and you could always become Kalos queen too." Grace said.
"I do love home , but we can't leave Alola." Serena said.
Grace and Alex could both tell the sorrow in their daughter's voice.
Later that night Serena was in the bathroom finishing up as she heard the door open, seeing her mother on the other side.
"Mama."
"Serena, can we talk?"
Serena slowly nodded.
"I've noticed, you've been quite depressed. Could it be?"
Serena lowered her head as Grace saw a tear come out of her daughter's eye.
Serena hugged Grace as she put her arms around Serena.
"Why did this happen to me mama, I was going to be a mother. I was going to love my baby more than anything. Why did this happen?"
"Serena, it's nothing you did, it was just something that happened."
"Then why does it hurt so much? How can I be so sad over something that was never even born?"
"Because it was your child Serena, and you loved it." Grace said sounding sad herself.
Grace lead Serena to her old room.
"I guess Ash and I will be staying in my old room." Serena said.
"Actually your dad made up the guest room for Ash."
"Is he being serious?" Serena asked as Grace sweat dropped.
"He said he thought Ash would prefer more space to himself."
Serena sighed as Grace left her alone.
Serena went into her old childhood room and looked around, she noticed her mother's Fletchling in the window before remembering the many mornings of the bird waking her up.
The small fire bird flew off as Serena sat down on her bed.
She looked around her room which was now dark and sighed before hearing the door open.
Ash carefully came in as Serena looked up at him.
"Ash."
"Serena."
"Couldn't sleep in the guest bed?" Serena said smiling.'
"I thought I'd check on you first."
"Sorry about my dad, he's always been protective of me. Even now."
Ash came and sat beside her.
"Pikachu found the bed quite comfortable."
"I'll bet."
Serena lowered her head again.
"Ash do you think our child would have looked more like you or me?"
"I'll bet they would have taken after you."
"I think I would have wanted them to take after you, see that cute little face I saw at summer camp all those years ago."
"We could have sent them there." Ash said as Serena smiled.
"Maybe they would have found the love of their life too." Serena said.
"It's funny talking about it, I thought about you a lot in this room. It got weird when I hit puberty, trying to imagine what you looked like."
"Do I want to ask what you thought about?" Ash asked jokingly.
"That depends if Dragon Caesar is near by." She said as Ash laughed a little.
"That perv probably would. But I guess he can't help being the way he is, I wouldn't want him any other way."
"Me either, and to be fair, my thoughts were nothing when I saw the real grown up you that first day in class."
"That was quite a day for us both. I met Pikachu, saw you again, met everyone else. It changed everything for us both."
Serena nodded.
She felt Ash put his hand on hers.
Ash saw Serena look at him differently before he nearly yelped as Serena wrapped her arms around him and passionately kissed Ash.
"Here, in your old bedroom, in your parent's house?" Ash asked with his face red.
"Yes, that's exactly where." Serena said with her own face red.
Ash felt her pull off his shirt and almost pin him agains the bed as she crawled on top of him.
As Serena did this, Ash felt her hands by his short's waistline, Serena slowly tugging them further and further down his legs before holding them and his boxers in her hands.
Serena smiling even more as she pulled her own shirt off and undid the waistband on her own shorts.
Ash saw them both on the ground as Serena stood off the side of the bed in her red bra and panties.
Serena undid her ponytail and let her long honey-blone hair down as she came closer, Ash grabbing Serena and pulling her beside him As they got under the sheets.
Serena laughing a little as She felt Ash's hands behind her as her bra strap came undone.
Serena tossed her bra away as she felt Ash's face come p beside her breasts , Serena grabbing her husbands head as she pulled his face in. Smiling as she held him there while feeling his tongue on her breasts and his hands rubbing her sides, Serena running her hands through Ash's hair.
Eventually as Ash came out, Serena turned around as she got on all fours, the back end of her panties facing Ash's face as she shook her behind at him.
Ash rand his hands cross Serena's stomach, his wife giggling as it tickled her a little, Serena shaking her end more as Ash saw her panties begin to sag down further and further, first an inch, then two, Ash seeing the crack of her big round butt become more and more visible.
Serena eventually got tired of waiting and grabbed the ends of her panties , yanking them down as she bared her ass to Ash.
"Come on, spank me." She said.
"I don't know, you haven't been a naughty girl today." Ash said playfully as he kissed her left cheek and carefully rubbed the other, Serena letting out a longing moan.
He grabbed her panties and slowly slid them back up.
"Give Serena the spankings she deserves Ashy." Serena said grabbing her panties and pulling them down again.
However, Ash simply caressed her big cheeks as he slowly slid the panties back up.
"I think Serena's been a good girl today."
Serena grabbed her panties and pulled them completely off her legs , she used some air bending to blow them to the other side of the room before waving her big round naked butt in front of her husband.
"I'm not good, I'm naughty, now spank the naughty woman." Serena said before finally feeling a hard hand hit her cheeks, Serena moaning in delight before her cheeks were hit again.
"Yes!" Serena said trying not to scream as Ash spanked her again and again. Ash giving each cheek a kiss and rub as he spanked the other. After a minute red hand marks appearing on each cheek.
"I don't know Serena, your butt is so pretty I don't want to ruin it with my hand marks." Ash said.
"I like them there, keep going. Come on." Serena said spanking herself before Ash gave her another.
Serena could feel the sting on her rear end and moaned in pleasure before Ash hit her butt again.
Serena got off her hands and knees, laying on her back as her hairless privates faced Ash's face.
"Come on Dragon boy, show your beloved mate everything you've got."
Ash smiled.
"If you want to wake up the dragon, here he comes." Ash putting his head between her legs , Serena almost screaming as she felt Ash's tongue in her privates, Serena grabbed his head and held him there for almost a minute. Serena had to restrain her legs less she accidentally hit Ash's head with them.
As Ash moved his head up and kissed her stomach, Serena felt his hands reach her breasts and begin fondling them.
Ash came up to Serena's face, but she flipped Ash onto his back and pinned him down, giving a seductive smile.
"My turn." She said brushing her hand against his cheek. Serena lovingly kissed Ash , moving her tongue into his mouth as she did so and brought her body on top of him. Serena felt Ash's hands grab onto her butt tightly, giving her a nice squeeze as she moaned in his mouth, feeling the area between her legs grow wetter as she began thrusting it against Ash's.
As all of this happened, a man was walking past the house when he noticed none other than Dragon Caesar looming over the house. His mouth dropped as he saw the guardian beast looking through one of the windows on the second floor with his left eye. The armored dragon-charizard having an excited look on his face as the fiery end of his tail wagged and he let out some excited sounds.
Later that night, Serena and Ash were fast asleep, Serena's head resting on his chest with their arms wrapped around each other each with a loving smile on their face.
Unknown to them both, but not unknown to Dragon Caesar, things inside Serena slowly began to change as the Guardian beast looked at her stomach and gave another excited look.
