Hellooooooooooooo my darlings! This story sure has gotten popular, getting four- AS I'M TYPING THIS, I GET ANOTHER REVIEW! Fifteen reviews in what... thirteen hours? That's craaaaazy! I'm glad you guys usually put input as well as your choices, and not just some choices. Usually. Anyway, for those who did, your reviews shall now be addressed. But first of all,
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. If I did, Sinnoh would get remakes, and Hilda and Serena would be your travel partners. That is all.
Crossoverpairinglover: First of all, thanks for being the first to review. I do realize that the flow was not the best in the first chapter, hopefully that will improve. As for the "bit of fat" part, as of right now, Ash has no travelling companions, other than Gary of course. That will change, of course, later.
AshKetchumDarkSide: Once again, thanks for reviewing. I'm glad this is kinda what you ship, and what you like. However, for the playing around part of your review, would you play around in a competition which literally decides your life?
Zamasu: Ooooof. My chapters are short, I know, but 2.6k is the second longest chapter I've ever written . I'm sorry! Maybe they'll get longer... if you appease me, and dance on your head. Not really, but who knows? Glad you enjoyed it though.
AutisticPhantomOtaku: Please pick three of them. Right now, I won't count any of them, sorry. I have guidelines for a reason! .
PhantomSoul2015: He does not, mainly because I don't remember most of them, and I'm too lazy too look them up. If you have a specific request, review or PM me or something, and I'll think about it. He'll have Pikachu and the Kanto starters and stuff though.
Guest - Review was "I do have one question. How old are the top teirs? Hoping Cynthia is year older if that. Or did she enter before the age changed as well? Can't wait for more!" - First off, I'd appreciate if you made an account, it makes everything ten times easier, and it's free! As for the top tiers, Red, Blue, and Green are all twenty-two. Cynthia did in fact come before the age barrier, when she was thirteen, making her nineteen now, because even if the Mega-Continent has nothing against that kind of stuff, it just makes sense. Lance is thirty-two or so, and Diantha is twenty. Alder is in his forties, and Steven and Wallace are both in their twenties. Sadly, nobody noticed that I didn't add a tenth Legend.
rekitnaph: Neither do I, lol.
jj4life015: Thanks for the review, your votes have been tallied! Unova is life.
Goku Black: Alrighty mate.
Zelda: Thanks, and I had to search up who Aria was tbh. Haven't watched the anime in forever.
AutoFilled: Good idea, lol. Don't know what you mean by "A filler for my other stories" though.
bigfilled: Elesa and Skyla in da house!
Guest - Review was "May dawn Serena (Hilda) if u can stretch to 4" I'm just going to count all of em except for Hilda.
Guiding-Wisp: I'll try and make it so it won't be. It will show life outside the battles, and how the relationships progress, and what they do in their free time, so on and so forth.
Just kidding. All votes for Cynthia, Hilda, and Serena don't count. Read the A/N's please! (If you're lazy, I basically said that those three were my picks and were automatically in the harem.)
BEFORE I FORGET, PLEASE GIVE ME IDEAS FOR THE MEGA-CONTINENT'S NAME! IT'S SO WEIRD TYPING "MEGA-CONTINENT" OVER AND OVER!
Even though Gary was upset that he was two leagues below his friend, he was still proud of Ash. Great League wasn't that bad, either. They were currently celebrating in the Plateau's expensive diner, and were just recovering from being crowded by fan girls.
"Tsch," Gary grunted. "Don't these girls have any modesty?" Ash was just shoveling noodles into his mouth, before speaking with it full.
"Yeamph, dun dey hab any manmers?" Gary laughed loudly, before Ash swallowed his food. "Sorry," He didn't sound sorry. Gary clapped him on the back.
"Whatever, pretty girls are pretty girls even if they don't have a brain, especially Number Four, she's a hottie. I'll take any you don't want," He laughed out. Ash, meanwhile, had paused and gained a scared look on his face. Gary saw this and laughed again. "You know you can't scare me with that shit, Ketchum. What's behind me? Number Four herself? As if she would actually se-"
"May I be one of the first to personally congratulate you, Mister Ketchum." Ash stumbled out of his chair and started bowing on his knees.
"Thank you, Champion Cynthia." He praised her like the ground she walked on was holy. Gary, however, was frozen in his seat, with sweat dripping down his face as he felt a glare on his neck. He sighed in relief and relaxed when the feeling finally dissipated.
"Not a problem, Mister Ketchum. And just call me Cynthia please, all this "Number Four" and "Champion" stuff can get really annoying." Cynthia told him.
"Of course, Cha-... Cynthia. But only if you call me Ash!" He held out his hand to shake. Cynthia took it, before looking at Gary.
"May I sit down?" She asked him with faux politeness. Even then, Gary knew he didn't have a choice.
"I'm just going to go head back to the room, Ash." Gary sped out of there without waiting for a response.
"Yo, waiter, two vanilla ice creams." She yelled, before turning to Ash. "Want anything?" Ash seemed mortified before she burst out laughing. "Just joking."
Ash was just staring at where Gary had once sat, where Cynthia was now sitting.
"My eyes are up here, Ash." Cynthia giggled while Ash just seemed confused.
"Sorry about my friend. He just likes to joke around a lot. He's actually got his sights set on a girl from back home." Ash informed Cynthia as their ice cream came. He tried to eat politely, but it really didn't seem like Cynthia cared all too much as she dug into hers ravenously.
"Don't worry *chomp* about *chomp* a single thing *chomp*." In no time flat, Cynthia had demolished her ice cream while Ash was only halfway done. Ash stared in disbelief. 'That has to be a world record!'
Cynthia wiped her mouth with her napkin, no sign of what had just occurred remained. "Thank you for sitting with me for a bit. I think it's told me a lot about you." And just like that, she left.
Ash decided to take a walk before he headed back to his room. The gardens were very beautiful, but all Ash could think about was his encounter with the Champion. He wasn't paying attention to where he was walking, so was only half surprised when he kept walking into bushes in the tiny hedge maze.
Eventually, fate got the better of him though, as a girl with honey-blonde hair ran into him, making them both fall to the ground.
"Hey, watch where you're going!" The girl shouted. Ash raised his hands in defense.
"What do you mean I should watch where I'm going? You're the one who ran into me!" He yelled. This seemed to make the girl calm down.
"I suppose so... sorry about that. I'm just looking for my friend's little sister. She ran into here a few minutes ago and I'm trying to find her!" The girl seemed genuinely upset about not being able to find the girl, so Ash took pity on her.
"I guess I could help you look for her..." He told her.
"Really? Thank you so much! My name is Serena." She told him, seemingly much more upbeat than a few moments ago.
"I'm Ash, and it's really no problem. I don't have anything better to do." He shrugged. He held out his hand to shake hers.
"Alright. Her name is Bonnie, she's about half your height, and has blonde hair and blue eyes."
"Alright. Also..." He trailed off, making Serena look at him. "You can let go of my hand now." Serena instantly pulled her arms back, blushing.
"Sorry about that. Also, you seem familiar..." She told him. Ash just chuckled.
"That was probably from my matches earlier, and no worries. Lets use my Garchomp and look for her." Serena got wide-eyed.
"You have a Garchomp? They're so rare, though!" Ash simply shrugged and released his Pokemon.
"Alright buddy. There's nobody to fight this time, but we're looking for someone." Garchomp looked at him, and then at Serena, as if to ask 'Who's this girl?' Seeing the look, Ash quickly responded, "She's a friend, Garchomp. Now just hover over the field, please." Garchomp obediently heeded his request.
It only took them about a minute to find Bonnie. She was playing in the fountain at the center of the field. Nearing the ground, Serena slapped her forehead. "I can't believe that I didn't think to check here!" She turned to Ash. "Thank you so much for your help!"
Ash just smiled. "Anytime. Now, would you like an easy way out of the maze?" He gestured back to his Garchomp. Bonnie jumped in joy and smiled. Ash took that as a yes.
Serena sat behind Ash, with Bonnie in the front. Ash kept lightly tapping Garchomp with his foot, his silent cue to do tricks. After a few flips and a barrel roll, as well as upside-down flying, they finally landed. Serena had trouble unlocking her arms after they had been clamped onto Ash's toned stomach.
Bonnie shouted, "Again, again, again!" Apparently undeterred by the uncomfortable face that Garchomp was making near her.
"Thank you for helping me out, Ash." Serena thanked him profusely.
"Once again, no problem. Also, what's your room number? Mine is 899." He informed her.
"899? You're lucky, that's the last room!" She exclaimed, making him grin.
"I know. It also has room service, because it's right next to the elevators." Serena sweat-dropped. 'Boys and their food...'
"Aaaaanyway, I'm in room 914." Ash's head snapped up.
"But aren't the ninth and tenth floors reserved for Great's?" He wondered aloud, making Serena giggle.
"I forgot to mention that, didn't I? Bonnie's brother is actually a Great. He was a semi-finalist last year. Lost to some dragon-user named Clair." Ash snickered. "What's so funny?" Serena asked.
"I beat Clair for one of my placement matches. Flawlessly, actually." Serena shook her head.
"Right. And I'm the Kalos Champion. See you later, Ash." And she walked off, taking Bonnie's hand.
This chapter was a lot shorter, and it took a while to actually do. I'm sorry about that. If you look at the top, you'll see I actually started writing this the day after the first chapter, and never got around to finishing it. Also, nobody gave reviews for the name of the Mega-Continent! :(
