Both Pikachu, on the other hand, is chasing each other.

"This is sure a great view, " said Serena

"Yeah, and I can't wait to take on the orange league challenge, " said Ash

"Ash have patience, I know that you are excited," said Serena

"Hey Serena, I want to say that I missed you so much in the past, especially when you left the Kanto region," said Ash at which she looked at him

"Does he really like me as more than a friend or," thought Serena

"You know you are my best friend other than Gary, Misty, Brock, Ritchie and other people that we met in the league, you are my best of best human friend Serena," said Ash at which she got mad

"Oh, as a friend only, Ash Ketchum, don't speak to me again," said Serena as she left the place and went inside the cabin

"Ash you don't have to say to her that you are a best friend," said Gardevoir

"Aren't we friends gardevoir," said Ash

"Guys let him find himself, he is dumb in this kind of cases," said Pikachu

"Now you too, Pikachu," said Ash

"Man why I have to do such a thing, I shouldn't get angry with him," thought Serena

"Pika pi Pikachu," said Pikachu that is currently beside her

"I know Pikachu, I shouldn't have spoken to him like this, let's go and ask for forgiveness," said Serena as she started to get out of the cabin as she opened the door and she saw Ash standing outside

"Hello Serena, " said Ash

"Hey Ash, sorry for behaving recently," said Serena with a sad look

" Sorry Serena that I upset you, didn't know what I have said," said Ash

"So can we just go outside and have a good view," said Ash to which she nodded

"Ash I will tell you later that how much I love you but for now I just I need to spend some time with you," thought Serena as she looked at the sea.

"Hey Serena, let's have some meal," said Ash to which she nodded

-- Kingdom of rota --

"so the prime has awakened," asked Ilene

"yes, my queen, he even attacked Ash," said Riley

"Omega, he took a large amount of aura from Ash's body," said Riley

"That's bad news, if he knows how to control Ash with his aura then he can use him, and Ash still don't know that he can track omega as his aura is inside omega," said Ilene

"Riley from now, your job is to arrange aura guardians from around this world and train them to fight the prime, " said Ilene to which Riley nodded

"Thank you, Queen Ilene," said Riley

-- Orre Region --

"So that kid has the pure soul and he is friends with the legendary pokemon," asked Prime

"Yes, " said Omega after which prime started to give an evil laugh

"What happened master," asked Leonard

"You know we can make that kid dance on our fingers with his aura inside me, we can control his will, actions and fulfill our plan, just need three months to train to control his aura," said Prime to which all nodded

"He will be our prime weapon," said Prime

"Get ready aura guardians we are coming," said Prime

"We need aura crystals from the tree of beginning and Kalos's cave of mirror which is a portal to another dimension where people have different personality and nature, and we can get a good army of aura users from there," said Prime to which everyone nodded

It's been a full two days of traveling passed as Ash and Serena are now about to reach the Valencia island.

"Attention passengers, we are about to dock on the Valencia island in ten minutes, please check that you pick all your belongings with you," said the announcer

"Wow I can't believe that we are here, we will pick gs ball first then we will register for the orange islands," said Ash to which she nodded

"Let's go," said Serena as her Pikachu become excited

"So this is a professor ivy's lab," said Ash

"It seems so," said Serena

"Hello anyone here," asked Ash

"we are here to meet professor ivy," said Serena as they knocked on the door

"Hello, how can we help you," said a voice from behind

When Ash and Serena turned they saw three girls standing there.

"Hi we are Ash Ketchum and Serena and we have been sent by professor oak to collect the Gs ball, and we need to meet professor ivy," said Ash

"Professor Ivy, she is inside," said one of the girl

"Hey Ash have I seen you before," asked the girl

"Well I have taken part in the indigo league, you probably had seen me there, " said Ash

"Oh yes, you are Ash Ketchum who defeated a trainer with Darkrai," said the girl

"Yeah, " said Ash

"Come inside, we will tell you about the GS ball," said the girls

"Actually we don't get your names," said Serena

"Hi, I am Hope, me Charity and I am faith," said the three girls

"Come with us, we will show you the Pokeball," said the Charity

"Here we are Ash and Serena, this is the Pokeball that I professor to send someone to pick up," said Ivy

"You see we have tried everything, from chainsaw to the power drill to hammer to open this thing but this is not opening up

anytime soon," said Ivy

"Hmm, we will take this Pokeball to professor oak, " said Ash

"Ash takes this and hopes he is able to solve the mystery behind this Pokeball," said Ivy handing him the Pokeball.

Ash then put the Pokeball inside the bag.

"I have a feeling professor, that this ball is having an ancient pokemon, maybe this Pokeball was an ancient artifact that archeologist or researchers found," said Ash

"Ash you have hit the right spot," said Ivy

"But professor we didn't have Pokeball in ancient times, even if we had then they were of different structure and architecture," said Serena

"Yes, and this is like a new age Pokeball," said Ivy

"But you can give it to professor oak, he may be able to find the secret of GS ball," said Ivy

"Don't worry, " said Ash

"Now Ash let's have a battle, I want to see how you strong are, after all, you are the recent winner of the indigo league," said Ivy

"You are a trainer," asked Serena

"I was when I was of age twelve, traveled the three regions, Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh which inspired me to be a pokemon researcher, never found worthy opponent like you except the champions elite four and orange crew, and now you are here, so what you say six on six is fine with you," asked Ivy

"You bet, I am, " said Ash to which she nodded

"Typical Ash, battle makes him happy and excited," thought Serena

"Ash come with us, we have a battlefield here," said Ivy

Ash is amazed to see a hidden battlefield under the ground that is retractable on a press of a button. Ash and ivy took their side.

"This is a six on six battle between Ash Ketchum of pallet town and Professor ivy of valencia island. General battle rules are applicable. Trainers send out our first pokemon, " said the faith as ivy pick one of the Pokeball on the tray that charity is holding.

"Go, my friend," said Ivy sending her first pokemon which is a steelix

"A steelix," said Ash

"Scared of him," said Ivy

"Nah, I have my own steelix, " said Ash shocking Ivy

"You have steelix," said Ivy to which he nodded

"Go hitmonchan," said Ash releasing his fighting type pokemon.

"Ash hitmonchan against steelix, hope he can survive the attacks," said Ivy

"We are not that weak professor, " said Ash as hitmonchan took his boxing stance.

"Let the battle begin, " said Faith

"Steelix use stone edge," steelix then send the stone projectiles having sharp edges at hitmonchan

"Hitmonchan use bullet punch and destroy the stone edge and then get in close to steelix to use close combat" hitmonchan then used bullet punches on upcoming stone edge and turned them into the dust and then he dashed towards the steelix.

"Steelix use bind on hitmonchan and then use dragon pulse" steelix used his tail to wrap hitmonchan with it but hitmonchan juped on his tail making his way to the top

"What you have to say," asked Ash

"Hitmonchan use fire punch back to back, on steelix's head" said Ash as hitmonchan

"Steelix throw him off using dig and then use flash cannon," steelix then quickly went underground and then emerge from behind of hitmonchan whil preparing the flash cannon.

"Hitmonchan use focus blast but hold it in front you, right in the path of the flash cannon, can you do it" said Ash to which hitmonchan nodded as he started to prepare the focus blast orb.

Steelix launched its own attack and hitmonchan used focus blast. Slowly the focus blast is connected with the flash cannon and energy of flash cannon started to accumulate in focus blast making it bigger and bigger.

"Hold it right there hitmonchan , " said Ash and once steelix stopped his attack Ash said

"Now launch the attack ,hitmonchan," said Ash and when hitmonchan release the attack it launched as a beam of flash cannon that hit its mark making steelix scream in the pain.

"Man Ash is strong, " said Hope and Charity

"Hitmonchan use close combat and then use brick break," said Ash

"Steelix use giga impact," said Ivy as steelix strikes hitmonchan with giga impact sending him across the field making him knock out instantly.

"Hitmonchan unable to battle, Ivy wins," said Faith

"Wow, your steelix is strong, it seems my decision was wrong, sending hitmonchan against steelix as fighting type attacks are mostly close range based," said Ash

"Now Ash who would be your next pokemon," asked Ivy

"Well here is my next pokemon, hope you would like him," said Ash as he released his next pokemon

"Tyranitar," said tyranitar as he released a ear splitting roar and then sandstorm started to blew around.

"Look Ash has tyranitar, " said Faith in excitement but she can't see him

"Ash you have amazing and rare pokemon, and he seems to be taken care well, " said Ivy in high voice

"Thanks professor," said Ash

"Tyranitar you can defeat him right," asked Ash to which he flexed his muscle and said "No problem "

Steelix is finding difficult to see it's opponent.

"Steelix use dragon pulse," said Ivy

steelix then fired the pulse of draconic energy straight in front of him.

"Tyranitar cancel it out with your darkpulse," said Ash as both pokemon released their respective attacks and upon connection both attacks results in smoke and explosion.

"Steelix use stone edge," said Ivy as steelix released the stone projectiles at tyranitar

"Tyranitar use rock polish three times and then use dragon claw ," said Ash as tyranitar glows white three times and dashed towards the steelix with speed, and strike steelix with draconic claws making him cry in the pain.

"Steelix can you battle " asked Ivy to which he nodded

"Steelix use iron tail," said Ivy at which he countered with the tail. "Tyranitar grab the tail, and then use flamethrower," said Ash shocking the Ivy

"You taught Tyranitar a fire type move," asked Ivy

"Surprised, now tyranitar use full power flamethrower," said Ash to which he released a stream of flame that hit steelix making him knock out instantly

"Steelix unable to battle tyranitar wins," decleared faith

"Return steelix, you done great work," said Ivy while recalling her fallen friend

"Tyranitar you too, nice work done, new rest for a while," said Ash to which he nodded

"But I will battle soon," said Tyranitar before getting inside the Pokeball

"Sure tyranitar," said Ash via aura bond

"Now Ash my next pokemon is, " said Ivy releasing her pokemon. It is a Gyarados.

"A Gyarados huh, then my next team member is " Ash was thinking about which pokemon he should send next until one of his pokemon said via aura bond " Ash let me battle," said Eevee

"My next pokemon is an Eevee," said Ash releasing her.

Eevee landed with Grace challenging the Gyarados

"Ash you have a shiny evee," said Ivy to which he nodded

"Yes,I am feeling lucky from having these guys around me in my team," said Ash

"Hi, I am your opponent for today," said Eevee

"Nice kid, but now I have to scare you, you know maintaining the legacy of Gyarados being a most fearsome creature," said Gyarados winking at eevee at which she give a chuckle

"Hahaha, Gyarados, we too have a Gyarados friend, she is very shy and energetic and cute," said Eevee

"By the way, you are shiny, we don't see shiny pokemon these days, previously as told by my parents, being a shiny is something god gift, but some humans don't understand that." said Gyarados

"Yes, my trainer has another eevee that is shiny too," said Evee

"Let the battle begin," said Faith

"Gyarados start with the water pulse," said Ivy after which Gyarados send the pulse of water at Eevee.

"Eevee use dig then counter with the hidden power," said Ash as Eevee dig her way underground

Gyarados was looking for her until Ivy said "Gyarados use hydro pump inside the hole"

Gyarados obeyed and launched the hydro pump inside the hole

"Evee quick get out and use hidden power shadow ball rapid-fire," As ordered by Ash evee came out dodging the hydropump by few centimeters and launched the hidden power attack that hit gyarados shocking him as electricity cursed through his body.

"So evee has electric type hidden power," thought ivy

Once Gyarados is paralyzed Eevee launched shadow ball that strikes Gyarados making him scream in pain

"Evee use hidden power once again," said Ash

"Gyarados use dragon rage," said Ivy as Gyarados launched the draconic rage that hit eeve making her sliding on the field

Evee, can you battle now, if you don't then I won't force you," said Ash

"Ash I will fight, I know that this is not an official match but I will battle no matter what, " said evee as she stood up with all of her power. She gather her strength and stood up.

And then evee started to glow.

"Wow pikachu,braixen , look eevee is evolving, " said Serena to her partner pokemons.

"Yeah, she always liked the company of Ash's psychic type, plus this day time triggered her evolution making her evolved into espeon." said Braixen

"You are right," said Serena

After a minute on the place of eevee is standing Espeon.Then Ash's pokedex beeped

( Eevee evolved to espeon, data updating. This evee learned following moves confusion,detect,psychic,morningsun,curse,charm,future sight, swift, psybeam )

"Congratulations Espeon, now shall we start," said Ash to which ivy nodded

"Espeon use morning sun and then use psybeam," said Ash

"Gyarados let her recover and then use ice beam," said Ivy

After few seconds of waiting Gyarados launched the beam of ice. Espeon then released the multicolored beam of psychic energy

Both energy beams collided resulting in smoke.

"Espeon use psychic" said Ash. Espeon's eyes and the gem on her forehead glows blue,Gyarados is lifted in the air.

"Gyarados finish with Giga impact," said Ivy as Gyarados who is in psychic grip used giga impact that made gyarados broke free and strike espeon knocking her out instantly.

"Espeon unable to battle, gyarados wins," said Faith

"Great job espeon," said Ash while recalling her friend

"Ash your espeon is defeated,who you are going to send next," said Ivy

"Well It's like I have to send my big hitters Ivy, espeon and hitmonchan just had their first battle against an opponent," said Ash as he send out his next pokemon which is a lucario

"Lucario let's show them the power," said Ash to which he nodded

"Let the battle begin," said Faith

"This match will going to end in one minute," said Serena to braixen

"We all know how strong lucario is ," said pikachu

"Gyarados hydro pump," said Ivy

"Lucario use dark aura cannon," said Ash

Gyarados's hydropump is about to hit lucario and lucario launched his special combo move that passed through the hydro pump and hit gyarados knocking him out in one move

"Wow Ash, your lucario is strong and powerful," said Ivy while recalling her pokemon

"Thanks , lucario is the first pokemon along with few others who I befriended at age of four," said Ash making Ivy smile

"Lucario return for now," said Ash recalling his lucario back

" So I have used my tyranitar,espeon,hitmonchan,lucario being my fourth one and she used two pokemon till now so that leaves two spot with me, so next choice is" thought Ash as he sends his next pokemon.

"A nidorino,huh" said Ivy

"Go ninjask," said Ivy as she sends her bug type pokemon

"A ninjask huh," said Ash as he bring out his pokedex

Ninjask a bug and flying type pokemon, it moves around at such a high speed that it cannot be seen, even while its crying can be clearly heard. For that reason, this pokemon was long believed to be invisible. This pokemon is native to hoenn.

"Let the battle begin" said the Faith

"Ninjask use Agility into fury cutter," said Ivy

"Ninjask nin" said Ninjask as it disappeared like a ghost and started to hit nidorino with furry cutter.

"Nidorino Ninjask is fast, you close your eyes and try to hear the sound of it's wings viberation and when it is close then you hit it with shockwave," said Ash

Ninjask is hitting nidorino with speed and attack but nidorino closed his eyes and focused on the sound, when ig is near the sound is loud and then nidorino released a wave of shock that hit ninjask sending him skidding on the ground.

"Ninjask getup and use absorb," said Ivy

"Nidorino use focus energy and use rain dance" said Ash as Nidorino glowed white starting to focus his energy and then shot a blue sphere in the air after which it started raining

"Ninjask x-scissor" said Ivy

Ninjask is getting close to nidorino who then created his double copies and then release the stingers of poison that are going to hit shedninja but shedninja evaded the attack at the nick of the time.

"Ninjask use shadow ball," said Ivy

"Nidorino use waterpulse to counter and then finish him using thunderbolt" said Ash

Nidorino launched the water pulse after which both shadlw ball and water pulse collided after which it resulted in the smoke and nidorino launched the thunder bolt but ninjask evaded the attack once again.

"Nidorino return," said Ash as he recalled the nidorino

"Recalled your pokemon Ash," asked Ivy

"Alakazam use gravity buddy," said Ash

"Alakazam " said alakazam as he brings his hand in frint and increased the gravitational force of the field after which ninjask started to descend towards the ground finally taking his place on the ground unable to fly anymore.

"Alakazam ypu know what to do now" said Ash to which he nodded as he used his telekinesis and brings ninjask in front of him after which alakazam released chargebeam that hit ninjask knocking him out instantly.
