A/N: ok guys, chapter 3 is not what it looks like. The main purpose of this is to further develop Night's character and give a motivation for the search of Ash. This may seem like a filler, but there will be a plot twist to make things awkward in one of the following chapters and a lot of things that will be revealed about Night.

Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon

Chapter 3- Kalos Represented Dance Party

At the alley where Serena ran into someone:

'ouch' Serena thought as she was knocked back into the concrete. She was scared that the paparazzi would find her, but so far, it was just her and whoever she ran into.

Suddenly,while Serena was sitting up, she saw a hand to stand her up. "I apologize, I should have been looking where I was going," said the teen. He had light skin, but his attire consisted of jeans, a black shirt and a black jacket with dark blue outlines. Looking closely, she recalled blue eyes and black spiky hair. 'he looks familiar,' Serena thought.

Then Serena saw a yellow spiky figure run up to the two of them, "Jolteon!" it cried as Serena took the teens hand and stood up. To both of them, their luck was over when the paparazzi came in taking pictures and yelling at the two.

"Crap, they found me," muttered the teen as he turned to Serena. "Let's get out of here, Gliscor fly us out!" the teen ordered as he released Gliscor's pokeball.

"Gliscor!" it cried as both humans got on top of gliscor and flew off. Gliscor then landed in the outskirts of Lumiose city dropping off the two and the jolteon.

"Thank you Gliscor, return," the teen said as he returned the scorpion into the pokeball. "I had to stop us from getting trampled by the paparazzi that was chasing me, are you ok?"

"yes I am, thank you, but I thought they were chasing me," Serena responded. Then she remembered. "By any chance, are you Night the new champion?"

"oh, y-yeah," Night said in surprise. "Oh, umm, I should not be surprised, I am well known now. For some reason you do look familiar, can you remind me who you are?" Night asked sheepishly.

"... I'm the Kalos Queen…" Serena responded surprised that Night did not recognise her.

"GAH! Sorry, I am so sorry, I should know better than to annoy the queen," Night said with waterfall tears of embarrassment causing Serena to sweat drop.

"It's ok, I appreciate your help from the press," Serena said as she giggled at the thought of getting chased. Serena then noticed Jolteon. "Isn't that one of the eeveelutions?" she remarked.

"yeap, it also was my first pokemon, I was supposed to get one of the 3 starters but I ended up finding an eevee on the way to the lab that was hurt, so I helped it and the professor let me keep him as a first pokemon!" Night said as he thought of the day he met Jolteon as he cuddled him. "later, eevee found a thunderstone and evolved into a Jolteon, with that we became an amazing team and best friends!" he asserted as he remembered his accomplishments with Jolteon.

"An electric type partner huh? Reminds me of someone I used to travel with, but i don't know where he is now, probably training," Serena claimed as she thought back to the day she saw Ash again.

"That guy sounds cool, I wish I could battle him!" Night said out of the blue earning a snicker from Serena because of the similar attitude. "So… What are you gonna do now? I think everywhere you go, you will be followed." Night asked.

"I was thinking of leaving Kalos and train to be a stronger performer with new pokemon," Serena responded. "You know, since we both should get out of Kalos, why don't we go together, I m-mean, you we are not busy with our d-duties yet."

"A friend to travel with? That sounds new, I wonder what it's like." Night remarked while Serena gave a confused look. "You see, I was never encouraged during my journey in Kalos. It was hard for me at first." Night explained. "Since it was just me and my pokemon, I had to do things by myself and it lead to struggle sometimes, to show you how bad it was, I had to rematch the first 3 gyms to get a badge. Later I barely made it to the regional league and barely won the first round, but with that people encouraged me to do better and found myself winning the entire tournament."

Serena understood, her travels with her friends allowed her to make it far with less effort, she saw how amazing it was that someone could get this far.

Suddenly, both Night and Serena's Holo Caster (I think that is the Kalos communication thingy) went off. Both of them checked it then. "Huh a dance party?" Night asked Jolteon and Serena. "It says that the champion will be there… with a date... oh rest In peace."

"Oh god, it says the Kalos Queen will be there… and I must also have a date, not cool organisers, not cool," Serena claims as she looked at it.

Just then, Serena released Sylveon from her pokeball. "Sylveon, there is a dance party and you are an amazing dancer, want to come with me?" Serena asked. Then Serena remembered about the date. "Sylveon, how about you go find bu-"

"veon?" Sylveon had noticed Jolteon snuggling with Night and thought it was a nice pokemon to make friends with, so she started walking towards Night and Jolteon.

"Hey Jolteon, I think Sylveon wants to say hi," inferred Night. "Why don't you guys become partners for the dance?" Night claimed. Jolteon then hopped down and sat next to Sylveon making her seems safe, which is what Serena wanted.

"I guess you will have to be my partner, Night," Serena said knocking the wind out of Night.

"m-me?," Night said. "Are you alright with that?"

"Please?" she pleaded. "We only need to do it for tomorrow night."

"u-um sure…" Night stuttered as he has never been asked out before.

"Great!" She said. "Also, there will be some dancers there that single people can get to be as their dates… if they defeat you, so you will get to battle!"

"Awesome!" Night exclaimed. "I get to dance and battle! This may not be so bad!"

The next day near a pokemon center:

"She said she would meet us out here, where is she Jolteon?" Night asked his companion waiting for the Kalos Queen. He was waiting a tuxedo and a bow tie. Now only that it was 10 minutes until the party started at the nearby ballroom, everyone could come in and it was large enough for the battles Night was going to have.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" yelled the honey blond as she walked over with her Sylveon. She was wearing a red dress with the same blue ribbon she always wears on her.

Oh, um, you l-l-look-" Night slapped himself awake from her appearance. "hey! It seems we are getting started soon, let's go in!" Night said as he and Serena walked into the ballroom. Sure enough it was large and it was in celebrating of the coronation of the new representatives of Kalos, Serena as the new Queen and Night as new Champion. Lots of people showed up to the event, infact it was very crowded. Suddenly, professor Sycamore got on the announcer's microphone and initiated the party.

"Welcome to the party! Enjoy yourselves as we get to dance! To coronate as traditions since both the Kalos Queen and Champion are new, them and their dates will be able to take the floor first to start of the party!" announced Professor Sycamore.

"Guess that's our queue," Serena whispered.

"Yeah, let's try our best," Night replied hoping he remembered how to dance.

People were expecting 2 couples to walk into the floor, but only one did shocking everyone at who was dancing. This caused the press to all go nuts as the Champion and Kalos Queen were the couple!

Night was finding it easy to dance, but was finding it uncomfortable with the people staring. Serena was also feeling the same way, people seriously either approved or really were disgusted.

After that, all the couples started dancing. People were having lots of fun. Jolteon and Sylveon were enjoying themselves and Serena and Night were attracting a lot of attention, but it was shaken off anyways. What did catch Night's attention was the guy eyeing him with a really jealous look on his face, he had a blue tuxedo, dress pants and a red hat with sunglasses.

"We will begin our tournament for single males to compete to have a date with a dancer!" announced the announcer making everyone in the party to spread around a battlefield, Night stood at one end and next to the battle box stood Serena, pumped to see the battles. There was a lot of people and this would be strong. "We only have 2 challengers today! One from here in Kalos while the other is from Hoenn! First we have our native from here, Callem!" It was that guy that Night saw with the jealous look.

Serena gasped at the name. "Serena, if I win you get to ditch the champion and dance with me," Callem declared. "You, champion, if I can defeat you, then I can have title as champion and Serena!"

Night did not even think for a second before responding,"Deal, but you won't win." This caused everyone to gasp and Serena gave Night a scared glare. Night looked at her and said it simple: "I will win don't worry." Last time she had seen that determination was with Ash.

"This will be a 1 on 1 battle, choose you pokemon and begin!" The ref exclaimed.

"Darkrai come on out!" Callem exclaimed shocking everyone. "I have champion and serena in the bag now."

Night was surprised, but he was not giving up. "Gliscor I choose you!" releasing the gray scorpion in front of the pitch black pokemon.

'Those words' Serena thought to herself.

"stay attentive Gliscor, we can do this!" Night assured.

"Darkrai start with dark pulse!" Callem said as his darkrai shot out a dark beam.

"use your tail as a spring and dodge!" called Night. 'only one other person would do that' serena thought as Gliscor dodged the attack. "Now allow your toxic orb to take over!" causing Gliscor to become poisoned, only that Gliscor was being healed by the poison by poison heal.

"Dark void!" Callem yelled. Darkrai show a black ball that was threatening to engulf Gliscor.

Night smirked and said the words that shocks everyone: "take it". The black engulfed Gliscor and then when it wore off, Gliscor was still awake.

"But how?" Callem asked.

"Simple, once poisoned, gliscor can't be put to sleep," explained Night. "Now use toxic!" Gliscor hit its mark and poisoned Darkrai causing Darkrai to lose energy and slow due to exhaustion.

"Unbelievable," whispered a green haired teen.

"Darkrai, hit it with hyper beam!" Callem ordered causing a charge of an orange beam right at Gliscor.

"Charge up knock off and protect yourself!" ordered Night. He had trained his Gliscor to be extremely defensive and bulky. "Now hit it down with knock off!" exclaimed Night as Gliscor hit the Darkrai that was off guard to the ground. "Finish this with earthquake!" causing Gliscor to dive down and punch its claw into the ground causing great ripples that finished off the Darkrai.

Everyone was shocked… "Darkrai is unable to battle so the champion wins!" revealed the ref.

"How did I lose?" asked Callem to himself as he got on his knees exhausted from the battle.

"Because you relied in power over strategy," Night replied walking over as if he had heard the question. "Darkrai is strong, but when you do not think of details, you will go down easily."

"Ugh leave me alone," remarked Callem as he returned Darkrai and left. Everyone had been annoyed at his cocky presence and cheered when he left the party. Obviously it did not got well for him.

"Next battle we have a Hoenn native! Give it up for Sawyer!" the announcer announced as a green haired teen went into the field. He had a light tan and he had a nice formal shirt. On his hand he had a notebook and pen, Night could have swore he saw a keystone.

"It is a pleasure to battle you champion," Sawyer stated. "I am hoping I can do well."

"If you put your heart to it, you will do well," Night replied, impressed by how polite Sawyer was. "Let's have a great battle!" Night called out.

'Why does he remind me of Ash?' Serena and Sawyer thought to themselves. They saw Night's determination and it was like a remembering of the time they had with Ash.

"Go, sceptile!" sawyer called as he revealed his tree frog. The sceptile had a scarf with a special stone. 'Mega sceptile' Night thought.

"Amazing, it looks well trained, by any chance, since you are Hoenn native, was this your first pokemon?" Night asked in awe to the power.

"Yes, I got it from professor Birch!" Sawyer called as he remembered the day he chose Treecko.

"Then I will use my starter as well!" Looking over towards Sylveon and Jolteon who were hanging out together, Night signaled for Jolteon to come out for him. Jolteon came out with Sylveon joining Serena's side, prepared as they knew Sawyer was strong.

"A jolteon! Amazing!" Sawyer said as he wrote something down in his journal. He was amazed at the power Jolteon looked like it had.

"This will be a 1 on 1 battle. Battle begin!" the ref called.

"Sceptile start off with sunny day!" Sawyer ordered and caused a beaming sunlight to come through the party causing the crowd to look away from the light. 'solarbeam' Night thought 'I have to be careful'. "Now charge with leaf blade!"

"use your speed to get behind sceptile!" Night hollered and with that Jolteon went from one side of the field to the other in less than a second. 'that speed' Sawyer thought. "Now hit with thunder!" Night ordered as the spiky pokemon sent a strong thunderbolt at Sceptile.

"Counter with Solar beam!" Sawyer yelled and the solar beam crashed into the thunder leaving them both at a stalemate causing a large explosion. "Use dragon claw!"

"Hit it with shadow ball before the collision!" Night ordered as the Jolteon blocked the dragon claw without causing minimal damage to both pokemon.

"We will give it our all!" Sawyer screamed grabbing a stone from his book. "Mega evolve!" and with that sceptile transformed into mega sceptile with the lightning rod ability. "Leaf blade!"

'I need to slow down solarbeam' Night thought to himself. "Use rain dance and dodge!" Night yelled. After it started to rain and the sun was not the problem, jolteon was unable to dodge thus getting hit head on. Jolteon stood up weakly, but still made it.

'Jolteon, you can do it' thought Serena as she remembered when she would cheer Ash and Pikachu on.

"Jolteon, let's show them our true power!" Night said as he got pumped. Then everyone turned to see jolteon transform as well, this time it turned black and blue and grew bigger spikes thus resembling his trainer. "Jolteon, hit with shadow ball!"

Everyone was shocked at the transformation. 'is this like Ash-Greninja?' Sawyer asked himself."Counter with dragon claw!" Sawyer ordered as the dragon claw collided with shadow ball leaving the dragon immobile.

As soon as the shadow ball exploded, Night took advantage of the opening it saw through Jolteon's eyes. "Hidden Power!" Night yelled as the hidden power hit the sceptile in a huge explosion knocking out sceptile as it returned to its normal form.

"Sceptile is unable to battle, Night the champion wins!" the ref exclaimed. Everyone was shocked when they saw Jolteon return back to its original form.

"thank you sceptile, have a great rest," Sawyer said as he returned Sceptile.

"Amazing battle Sawyer," Night said as he shook hands with Sawyer. "Not many people get me into synchro burst, but when they do, it really is heated."

"thank you champion!" Sawyer replied.

"Please, just call me Night," Night responded with a chuckle as he was still getting used to being champion.

Security then came by and asked if they should escort Sawyer to the exit.

"Nah, let him stay, he deserves to be here after our amazing battle," Night revealed.

"Thank you Night, I am honored!" Sawyer replied.

"Hey Sawyer! Long time no see!" Serena said from behind as the party went to dancing.

"Serena, how have you been doing?" Sawyer replied. "Grats on Kalos Queen," he remembered.

"Thanks, and I have gotten someone to dance with you too! Say hi to Miette!" Serena said giving Sawyer his date.

"Hey cutie, come with me ok?" Miette said in a dark tone.

"o-ok," Sawyer said unsure but happy he got to dance with someone.

"so Night, it's time for you to perform," Serena said with a playful tone.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Night responded. Jolteon had gone to dance with Sylveon.

"Follow me," Serena said leading Night backstage. "This song is good, now lemme put it so that the lyrics appear on the screen and so that you have to sing and dance." Serena said while toying with the computer.

Just then Tierno popped up behind stage, "hey guys, Night you doing the tradition?"

"I guess?" Night asked nervously.

"Can I dance next to you up there? The song sere is putting is just awesome!" Tiero asked.

"s-sure…" Night asked as Serena left after saying good luck.

The song started and Tierno and Night where on stage together as the curtains rose.

Night saw the lyrics and started singing and dancing: "I got this feeling, inside my bones..."

Song: Can't stop the feeling - J. Timberlake (this was one of the only clean songs I could think of)

"That was amazing! Since when could you dance AND sing?" Shauna asked our new Champion.

"ummmm," responded Night.

"I put him through this, so let him relax Shauna," giggled Serena.

"Fine," she said as Serena, Night, Shauna and Tierno went back to the party.

The party kept going until midnight until later everyone left.

"Night, do you mind if I come with you? I can't get seen," Serena asked.

"Sure, the more the merrier right?" Night responded. That answer caused Serena to frown. "Did I say something? I'm sorry if I did." Night said looking down shattered that he may have hurt someone's feelings.

"No, it just reminded me of someone close," she responded. Sylveon and Jolteon were walking up front and with swift movements everyone made it to the hotel.

With that Serena and Night went to sleep on different beds. 'where are you Ash, you said most dangerous place on Earth, but how can I get to you?' Serena wondered as she fell asleep.

A/N: huge plot twist next chapter to either strengthen the bond between Serena and Night or just make it awkward. And by strengthening, I do not mean a new shipping. This is still amourshipping but I am developing Night to have close relations despite being known as the lonely champion as it was revealed that he was lonely during his travels and he may find himself traveling with a friend for once. Not to mention, this chapter underscores that Night is a champion that is more open and fun than the others which makes him stick out.

See you next chapter! Remember to R & R
