A/N: Well looks like most of you guys support AshxCynthiaxDiantha. For the one person, "Fan", who doesn't support it, I would like a reason why. You just said that it ruins Rayshipping. Tell me why, not just " IT RUINS RAYSHIPPING!". Also, like I said before If anyone is willing to help write battles, PM me and we can collaborate. You will be mentioned in the story if you're up for it.
Mark- One, Moltres isn't the Pokemon. Two, I have a pretty good idea of how Cynthia will find out. Also the Elite Four Rings will be big clues to who's in Ash's Elite Four.
Also for those of you who are yelling at me to keep the story Rayshipping or AshxCynthiaxDiantha, if you read my Bio, I don't like the usual Shippings at all, the only one I could maybe stand is PearlShipping, but only if it's a good story.
Also, I don't own Pokemon obviously, and if you want your ideas in the fic, PM me please. I'm gonna try to make the Chapters about 3k-5k Chapters, when I can. I'm going to write in more detail, because looking over my last two Chapters, they were crap. So yea...
On With the Fic!
Time Skip; Centuries Cup
A hooded man walked into a crowded town center. Not many people, or Pokemon for that matter, noticed him. He shifted his slightly to get a view of the whole place. The fountain at the center was extremely extravagant an had a Gyarados spouting water everywhere. Stands with venders selling anything they could find, lined the streets. An air blimp was flying over overhead with the word 'Welcome to the Centuries Cup' plastered across it. Street lamps had banners that had the words 'Centuries Cup', while others had pictures of the Elite Four and their respective Champions. The Kanto banner had just been put up and murmurs of surprise rippled through out the crowd. The Kanto banner had pictures of the Elite Four, Sabrina, Koga, Maylene, and Karen. This was not what was surprising. The Champions picture was a grey silhouette that had, in gold words, 'To be announced at the Ceremonies' written across the silhouette. The man chuckled at the banner. 'It's always like Goodshaw to have the public waiting in anticipation'. Overall it had a pretty jovial atmosphere.
The man himself, as you may have guessed, was Red Satoshi, formerly Ash Ketchum. He was dressed in a simple grey cloak that had an insignia over Red's heart. Only a select few would recognize the insignia. Said insignia was a patch in the shape of a stereotypical police badge. It had a heart in the center that was surrounded a blue glow and layered over the heart was an open book, also surrounded by a blue glow. The book was placed lower so one could see about half of the heart. Below the book were two crossed swords, once again, surrounded by a blue glow, but this time the glow resembled more of a fire. Other than the cloak the man had a standard traveling bag and black shoes. Underneath the cloak was a belt holding eight Pokeballs, a Champions limit. Red was wearing a skin tight black Under Armor shirt that highlighted his toned muscles from years of physical training. He also had black slacks on. This was in the cloak ever revealed his body, there would be nothing to see. Said cloak also covered this mans face entirely, leaving and mysterious and strong air around him. Needless to say, you don't want to make him angry.
He walked silently through the crowd, who wasn't even sparing him a glance. He was making his way through the maze of endless people and vendors. A few minutes later , he got where he was going, the Pokemon Center, heaven for injured Pokemon and a dark haired breeder alike. "Hello, do you need to register for the tournament?" asked a pink haired nurse, not even looking up her paperwork. Ash thought for a second, then replied in a husky voice "No thank you, I would just like to rent a room." The voice startled Nurse joy and eventually let her look up at the voices owner. She was blushing, abet barely, when she heard the voice. "O...ook, that'll be..ee 50 Poke please" she squeaked out between the blush. The blushing nurse, something a dark haired breeder would like to see, finally got control of herself. That progress was all whisked away when their hands accidentally touched when exchanging the money.
"Here are your keys sir". Nurse Joy dropped the keys in his hand before running in the back claiming there was an injured Growthie in the back she had to check up on. Red stood there chuckling to himself for a while because it had seemed his affect on the opposite sex had only grown in his time away, Nurse Joy hadn't even seen his face and she was blushing. Red eventually shook himself from his train of thought to go to his room and get some rest for the long day ahead.
Time Skip; Champions Meeting Room.
There was a lot of commotion regarding the new Champion that no one had even heard of. Elite four and Champions alike were trying to figure out who the new Champion was. Needless to say everyone was stumped except a certain blonde Champion that was trying very hard not to let anything slip, which was very hard considering everyone around you was talking about this man.
There was a small creak at the door that abruptly stopped all the conversation in the room. President Goodshaw stepped into the room accompanied by a hooded figure that had an air of mystery and strength around them. Everyone's eyes fell on the hooded figure who was ushered to a stage with in the gigantic ballroom. "Well everyone, today we have a new member, Red Satoshi, Champion of Kanto". "But, I don't remember him challenging us!" shouted Karen. "What makes him Champion?!". "Simple" stated Goodshaw. "He took the Champions Challenge". Everyone gasped, you see, Cynthia was the only Champion in history to claim the Champions Title through the Champions Challenge. The Champions Challenge was brutal, you faced two Champions, of your choice, on a 2v1 battle. It was insanely hard, and Cynthia only came out with a draw, making her Champion. Furthermore, the Champions Challenge was only open when there was an open seat in the Champions position, like in Kanto, who hasn't had a proper Champion in 15 years.
When everyone awoke from their stupor, Lance and Wallace admitted to fighting him, and losing 6-3, but they never knew his name. Everyone was astonished yet again, Red had taken out 6 Champion level Pokemon with only 3 of his own? Karen then asked the question that was on all of the Kanto Elite Four's minds. "Who did he pick as his Elite Four", honestly she was fearing for her job along with all the other Elite Four, Maylene, Koga, and Sabrina. "You are lucky in that aspect, Karen, Red decided that you can all stay" All the Elite 4 let out a breath of relief.
"I think they should know Goodshaw" Red finally spoke up. Goodshaw looked at him quizzically, before backing away and letting him take the stage. "The truth is" Red started, pulling down his hood, "My name is not really Red.". Everyone gasped. "I have know all of you on a personal level before I became Champion" There was only one person that knew all of the Elite Four and Champions personally. Ash. Everyone was thinking the same thing and some of the female members even blushed when they heard his name, especially a certain blonde.
Everyone was shocked out of their, well shock, by a yellow and black blur speeding in front of everyone, jumping on the stage, and tacking Ash forcing him to the ground. "Ash, I thought I lost you" Cynthia managed to blubber out trough a tidal wave of tears. To calm Cynthia down, Ash did the only thing he knew how to do, he stroked he hair and said in a husky voice "I'm here now and that's what matters". He then helped her up and whispered to her "We have to save the reunion for later, were at a meeting". The combined force of remembering where she was and Ash's voice made her blush heavily, though it was mostly the latter's doing. She stood up sporting a heavy blush and receiving looks of jealousy form the females, mostly a certain Kalos Champion. "Cynthia, you really have to get over this crush of yours, one way or another" Flint shouted in a suggestive voice. This made Cynthia blush even more, and Ash sensing this , came to her rescue.
"Ok moving on, I am only known as Ash when we are in private, in public I am Red" Ash informed in a commanding voice. No one dared question him, even Goodshaw. Ash a bit weary of the silence looked, at his watch "Should we get ready for the ceremony?" Everyone hearing him perfectly, went to their dressing rooms, wanting to get away from the awkward situation. The only two that stayed behind were Cynthia and Diantha. "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Ash asked politely. "WHERE WERE YOU?!" They both screamed in unison. This went on for 45 more minutes before they came to the question "Why did you leave?". Ash was uncomfortable about the subject, but told them anyways. After hearing his story they both swore not to tell anyone else. "That's horrible Ash" Diantha comforted, while Cynthia had the opposite reaction. "THEY ARE SO DEAD WHEN I SEE THEM!". "Cynthia no" Ash said in a calming tone. "This is my quarrel and my quarrel alone". "But.." Cynthia started, but never got to finish when Ash interrupted her, "Cynthia no" Ash said, this time a bit more forceful.
Cynthia hung her head in shame believing that she had angered Ash. Ash, realizing this, stroked her hair making her shudder in pleasure. Diantha, wanting attention from the handsome Champion too, looked at him with the biggest puppy eyes while she let her hair down. Her hair was shoulder length when it wasn't in a bun. Ash saw this too and proceeded to stroke both girls hair for rest of the remaining 15 minutes.
After a while both girls passed out leaning on Ash with one last thought, 'This feels so right'. Ash was wedged between the two girls with his arms paralyzed by his sides. One by one everyone piled into the room receiving a pleading look of help from Ash. After plenty of photos taken, Flint woke both of the girls by tossing out his Infernape, then recalling it. Both girls startled awake and glared for the person that woke then from their blissful slumber. "How *Yawn* were we out for?" Diantha asked after calming down. "Long enough for everyone to get a picture" Ash responded with an indignant tone. When both girls heard this they hung there heads trying, unsuccessfully, to hid their blush.
This time it was Goodshaw that came to their rescue. "Well, it is time for the opening ceremonies" Goodshaw said to get everyone's attention. Minutes later everyone was lined up ready for the ceremonies.
Scene Change; Stadium
"Here they are folks! The strongest of the strong, each representing their nations! First up we have the Champion of Kalos and her Elite Four, DIANTHA!". Diantha walked on to the main stage behind her Elite Four receiving cheers and a few marriage proposals. "Next up we have the Champion of Unova, ALDER!". Alder walked on the stage in the same fashion as Diantha while waving to the crowd. They took their positions next to the Kalos representatives. " After that, we have the beauty of a Champion from Sinnoh, CYNTHIA!". Cynthia walked on totally oblivious to the cat calls and marriage proposals being thrown at her. "Next we have the stone cold Champion of Hoenn, STEVEN!". Steven walked on and took his place next to Cynthia. "Next we have the Dragon Champion of Johto, LANCE!". Lance walked on with his Elite Four and quickly found his spot. "Last but not least, we have the New Champion from Kanto!" Only the Elite Four of Kanto walked on confusing everyone, including the representatives.
A group of Garchomp pilots flew overhead with the lead Garchomp being 11 feet while the rest were 8 feet. They performed loops and dives everywhere putting on a grand display of control and power.
"I think it's time we introduce our new Champion, do you?" Goodshaw yelled to the crowd right as the Garchomps were finishing. The crowd cheered twice as loud, especially people from Kanto. "Get down here then!" Goodshaw yelled to seemingly nowhere. Suddenly the lead Garchomp did a back flip and spiraled towards the ground. Just as the rider and the Garchomp were about the ground, the Garchomp did a front flip and landed with a powerful Thud. The rider pulled down his hood revealing a handsome face, making females of the audiences scream and shout, which, in turn, made two Champions very jealous.
"Here we have the New Kanto Champion, RED SATOSHI!"
A/N: There you go. Not a Cliffhanger, because I hate those, but a good place to finish. Also please PM If you can help with that
