I really do appreciate this. Any now that is over with, enjoy chapter 3, The Confession.
After 2 months of training with Cynthia in Unova, Ash had finally mastered nearly everything that she could throw at him. There was only one thing left that Ash needed to learn before he was ready to be put to the test. "Well Ash," Cynthia said to Ash on the beach. "I knew you were special, and I commend you on making it this far. And it only took us 2 short months. We've come a long way haven't we?" "We sure have Cynthia." Ash said with Pikachu resting on his shoulder. "I think all of my Pokemon have really come a long way as well." He said as he looked over at all of his Pokemon that he train with for so long. "Well, are you ready for the most important session of our training?" Cynthia asked. "I'm ready for anything." Ash said. "Good, because this week is all about determining you enemies weaknesses." Cynthia explained. "Now Gastrodon, Roserade, and Garchomp come on out." She threw her 3 Poke Balls in to the sky and all 3 of Pokemon within emerged. "Now the big thing of defeating an enemy is knowing of its weaknesses in terms of types, stats, and moves." Cynthia said. "Pokemon like these can be extra tricky. It's your job to find out their weaknesses and use it to your advantage."
It didn't take long for Ash to determine the weaknesses of their types, but it did took some time for Ash and his Pokemon to find their other weaknesses, until he took a very interesting notice of their moves and how they use it. The moves they use help out with their stats and other aspects. He noticed this when Gastrodon let loose a sandstorm on the battlefield. "I see a major flaw with Garchomp." Ash called out. "He's using the sandstorm it brew up to boost his evasiveness. That is sand veil. The effects are working in Gastrodons ability as well. Its ability is sand force, which boost the power of its ground moves." Ash later began to study the Roserade, but still couldn't figure out at first. He then noticed that Roserade has been taking damage as well. This is due to it being a grass/poison type. "That's it." Ash thought. "Roserade is getting hurt by the sandstorm, and it can't see properly. Mamoswine, use the sandstorm to your advantage and use take down on Roserade." he commanded to his Mamoswine. It charged right in and hit Roserade square in the head, sending it towards the house knocking it out cold."
Cynthia ran over to Roserade and checked to make sure that it only fainted. "Okay Roserade return." She said as she pulled out her Poke Ball. She then turned to Ash. "Well done, but you still have Garchomp and Gastrodon to contend to now." She yelled out. Ash could barely see in the sandstrom that was brewing, but after bonding so well with his Lucario, he used the aura to help him see. "Okay Lucario," Ash began. "Time to use aura sphere on Garchomp. Use your aura to find, lock on and fire at it." Lucario then closed its eyes and began searching for Garchomp. Once it saw Garchomps aura, he ran straight in and use aura sphere at point blank range. The sphere collided to Garchomps head, knocking it backwards and knocked out.
Cynthia returned her Garchomp back into it Poke Ball and she looked up at Ash as he continued to find Gastrodon's weakness. "Ash," She whispered to herself. "You have proven yourself tenfold, no a thousandfold. Tonight, it's time to tell him my little secret." After Ash managed to find Gastrodon's weakness with his Zoroark thanks to its speed and deadly attack stat, he finished off Gastrodon with one powerful dark pulse. "Oh my god, I can't believe it." Ash said out loud. "We actually managed to successfully find out her Pokemon's weaknesses. I guess it's true about one thing, type advantages alone doesn't mean anything. It's just one of many ways to win a battle." Cynthia returned her last Pokemon to her Poke Ball and just stood there with her head down and eyes closed. Ash then walked towards her with confusion. "Hey, are you alright?" He asked. "Ash,I have no words to say of how proud I am, and how much you've learned in just short amount of time." Cynthia said with a smile. "I want you to go ahead and rest. You've done enough for today. In fact, I want to talk to you about something that I feels like I should have told you since the last time you were here. Meet me in my room tonight just before sunset and all will be explained."
As the sun began to set off the shore of the ocean, Ash made his way to the master bedroom where Cynthia was waiting. Ash knocked on the door a few times, but the door opened up a bit. "Huh, it must have not closed all the way." He thought. "Cynthia, you left the door open." He called out. Cynthia was sitting at her window watching the sunset. "Shut the door would you Ash?" She asked. Once Ash shut it, Cynthia called him over to the window. "Next week is your final exam." She began. "If you can beat me in a full 6 on 6 battle, then you are ready for the whole world. However, that's not the reason why I invited you here. I know this may sound weird but..." Cynthia was about to tell Ash of how she really felt, but she began to tear up and blush at the same time. Ash put his arms around her to comfort her. "Is something wrong?" He asked. "Your face is all red. And why are you crying? Is there anything I can..MMPH!" Ash was in shock to see and feel that Cynthia pressed her lips onto his. Once she broke apart with him after about 10 seconds, she said, "Ash, I really do have strong feelings for you, and I was just so damn scared that you wouldn't accept it."
Ash, who was still shocked after the kiss, told Cynthia that he, too, had feelings that were that strong for her. "Each night that I have been here, I keep having these dreams about you and I going to several places together. We went to several ruins, championship conferences, and private places. I'll be honest, I wanted to tell you the same thing myself, but seeing as how you are busy with you being the champion and all I didn't know if it would even work out." After he told her all of that, tears were now flooding out of Cynthia's eyes. "Oh Ash," She began. "I love you." "I love you too." Ash said. They took each other in their arms and watch as the sun began to set off the shore. "We will make this work Ash, I promise you that." Cynthia said to her new boyfriend. "I hope the same thing too." Ash said to his new girlfriend. He pulled his head back and began kissing her for about 10 minutes. Ash had never been with a girl before, nor has he kissed one at all. "I'm kinda new at this whole relationship thing." Ash whispered. "I hope I'm not going too far." "You're doing just great darling." Cynthia said as she laid her head down on her shoulder. As Ash and Cynthia started their new lives together, they began to live and stay together. More exciting moments await them as the story continues.
