Chapter 3

Ash sat under the tree, watching the sunset. He smiled thinking about this day, he was so happy right now. Cynthia came and sat next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder. Both hearts connected by the red string of fate.

"It's so beautiful", she said and smiled.

"Not as beautiful as you", Ash said.

"That's so original Ash", Cynthia said and giggled. Ash started laughing to.

"I know that already, but at least it is the truth", he said and stroked Cynthia's hair. She looked at him and smiled. 'Ash has his flaws, but doesn't we all?' She thought to herself. They sat there under the tree, and saw the sun setting behind the mountains. Listening to the trees blowing in the wind, seeing leaves blow in front of their eyes. As the night started to come forth it started to get a little colder outside. Ash in his boxers, went to get a blanket from his bag. He laid it over Cynthia naked body, only undergarments covering it. He laid the blanket so it covered her body and sat under the blanket himself afterwards. She rested her head on Ash's shoulder. When they were done with their preparations the stars had showed themselves in the night sky. On the hill it was no lights, so it was completely dark and you could see all the stars in the sky. Even the bright white full moon that was lightening up the night sky.

"Cynthia, out of all the beautiful stars in the sky that shines, you are the one that shines the brightest and is the most beautiful for me", Ash said as he laid his arm around Cynthia's naked body underneath the blanket. She felt an arrow of love struck her heart when he said that. No one had never said such a compliment to her before. She had heard compliments like you are hot beautiful today and you look hot in that outfit, but never something so romantic. She took his hand and he took hers. Now their hands connected to each other.

"I guess we are dating now?" Cynthia asked him, looking up at the stars.

"No, we aren't Cynthia", Ash said as he turned his head and looked at Cynthia. Cynthia felt a lightning bolt through her body as he said. She thought she was going to die. Was everything he did just to tease her? Was all of this for nothing? she looked at him with that deadly stare she gave him the day he left Sinnoh, to train in the Kyoto region with tears in her eyes. He giggled as he saw that stare again.

"I am only kidding Cynthia", he said and smiled back. Cynthia breathed out in relief, feeling the electricity leaving her body and she got closer to ash.

"Now you have seen me in my underwear again, so if you said no I would literally kill you"

"It's a little sad that you wouldn't go naked, I know you like to go all out. You are a lewd girl Cynthia." When Cynthia heard that she blushed, he figured out her secret. Was that a bad thing though? He hadn't complained yet. She ditched the thought and hit Ash's shoulder.

"Ouch, ok I am not going to tease you more, for today. But I wouldn't mind seeing you naked though", he said and got closer to Cynthia. He went up on all 4 and was standing over her. He bent down his head and kissed her on the lips again, while Cynthia was holding him around his waist. Now Cynthia was happy, getting back to the real action she wanted os badly.

Kyoto – The champions mansion 00.34 AM

"Is he ever going to come back?" Rosa sighed and looked at the others. They all shook their heads and they started laughing. Then they saw gardevoir teleporting in front of them.

"We have guests", she said and the 4 guardians stood up and hid around the nearest corner. Hugh told the others in sign language that he would go down first. He went out to the main staircase that went down to the mansion entrance and saw 4 team galactic members. He told the others (in sign language again) to bring his stuff to him. It was a belt of knifes. That included 4 knives, and a vest to protect himself with. He had everything he needed and stood in the middle of the stair case, playing with a knife.

"There they are, attack them!" One of the team galactic member said, and they started shooting at Hugh. He ran down the stairs and dodged every bullet. A bullet was going to hit his face but he blocked it with his titanium knife and the bullet bounced back at a galactic members leg. He threw a knife at the same galactic member right in the heart. '3 more to go.' Hugh could feel the blood rushing through his veins, the feeling of killing someone, it was a feeling he missed. He ran towards the next member and he tried to hit him with his gun. Hugh ducked and bended out his leg and kicked the galactic member on his leg making him fall. The other 2 members tried shooting Hugh but Hugh picked up the member that had fallen and used him as a shield. Making the other members shooting their friend. '2 more to go'. The blood rushed faster and faster for every target he killed. Hugh threw 2 knifes at the next member, both hitting the shoulders, one on each side. The member screamed in pain as he had 2 knifes inside of him. Hugh ran up to the last member letting out a psycho scream and his eyes were big ass tennis balls and were burning fire of excitement. He felt his heart started to grow flowers around it, this feeling was his paradise. He stood in front the member and stabbed him in the throat, he went behind the member and kicked him at the other one. 'just 1 more'. His veins couldn't take the excitement anymore and it started to bleed out on some places. Hugh went up to the last one that was shaking in fear and felt a little dizzy after the last member Hugh attacked got pushed on him. He could do nothing. Hugh hit him in the stomach so the member had hard to breath. Hugh went behind him. Took his waist and bended backwards, making the last member break his neck. Hugh let go of the last member holding a bloody knife, bleeding all over his body. The other Guardians ran down the stairs and saw the piles of blood. Hugh just smiled and played with his knife with his fingers, making them bleed.

"How can that thing be your boyfriend Rosa?" Hilda asked Rosa in shock.

"Sometimes I can't understand it myself, but it is good to have one that can defend himself", Rosa said as she ran up to Hugh and threw a towel to him. Hugh cleaned of the blood all over him.

"What is going on, gardevoir told me that you guys had some …", Ash said as he saw what was going on, Cynthia standing beside him both dressed up with their clothes again. Cynthia laid her hands on her mouth as she couldn't understand what was going on. She slowly backed away from them. Seeing that Cynthia had seen her own parents get murdered in front of her when she was just a little girl, the fear of seeing dead people has been with her ever since. Her heart got stone cold and she couldn't breath. Ash grabbed her hand before she fell down to the floor.

"It's okay Cynthia, trust me", he said as he smiled and kissed Cynthia. She nodded as she walked back to Ash, her heart started to beat again and hot air filled her heart, making the cold heart melt away. The other 2 girl guardians started fangirling again when they saw Ash kiss Cynthia.

"The one on cleaning duty clean this mess up, you know where to take the bodies", Ash said as he went up the stairs while holding hands with Cynthia. Rosa and Hugh also went up the stairs following Ash and Cynthia. Nate sighed as he were on the cleaning today. Hilda took his hand and kissed him. She decided to help him.

Ash went up to the meeting room (the room with the 2 sofas and the desk at the back) and sat down in the sofa on the left with Cynthia, while Rosa and Hugh sat down on the right sofa.

"Who were they?" Ash asked the 2 guardians.

"They were team galactic members", Ash looked at Hugh Shocked at what he said. Ash smashed his fist to the table. The hatred he had for that team, those people who ruined his life. Those people that made Cynthia blame herself for his death. Ash clenched his fist as he looked up to the other members.

"Dammit, I never thought they actually would come here and attack", Cynthia took his hand and Ash calmed down. Gardevoir came in.

"I saw them breaking through the door while I was on guard. The door was locked so they must have had some kind of mechanism to open the door, the door is too complicated to picklock", gardevoir said as she was looking at Ash. Cynthia looked confused at gardevoir, because she couldn't understand pokemon language, then she looked at Ash and he nodded at gardevoir.

"What did she say?" Cynthia asked Ash. He looked at Cynthia and sighed.

"Gardevoir saw them while she was on guard, and that the door is too complicated to picklock so they must have had some kind of mechanism to open the door", he told Cynthia. She nodded as she was impressed that Ash could understand what gardevoir was saying. Ash nodded at gardevoir and she teleported away.

"You should sleep at home tonight, it isn't safe here", Ash said as he grabbed Cynthia's shoulder, and he started pressing it harder and harder like he was nervous. It was obvious that he was worried about her. He could only imagine what he would do If team galactic would capture or even kill her, just the thought made Ash's heart boil up in hatred.

"Okay I will, but can I come back tomorrow?"

"Sure, I will let gardevoir teleport you back now and back here tomorrow when you wake up. I will also send you ninetails with you just in case they attack you. I don't think they will but just in case", he said again. Cynthia smiled and love filled her heart when he said that. She liked that her boyfriend was so worried about her. She kissed him goodbye and left the room. Gardevoir came back in, holding some kind of mechanism in her hand. She gave Ash the mechanism and then she went to Cynthia and teleported her back home. Ash took a closer look at what gardevoir brought to Ash.

"You know what this is?" He asked the 2 guardians and the shook their heads.

"I know what it is", said Nate as he entered the room. He went to Ash and took the thing out of his hands. It was just a titanium square.

"This is a mechanism that can open every lock in the world. You basically scan the lock you want open by pressing this button", he said and pointed at a blue button.

"Then it takes around 1 hour to scan it, then you just have the lock you want to open, then you put the lock inside of the circle of the box on the side over here. And u press the red button next to the blue on and its done", he said and pointed at a marked black circle on the other side of the box. He gave Ash the box again and sat next to him.

"Where is Hilda?" Ash asked Nate.

"She is looking over the security footage. Like I said it takes around 1 hour to scan it, so it means the intruders was outside for an hour waiting. I suspect that isn't the case. Because you see if u scan one specific lock one time, the mechanism remembers that lock and you can open it whenever you want again. I forgot to tell you Ash, but there was some other guests here earlier. They are tied up in your room" he said. Ash sighed and walked over to his room.

"Ash how could you!" Jessie screamed at Ash.

"I am sorry haven't told my friends yet that you work for me", Ash said as he untied them. Ash took out his hologram and started writing a message to all the guardians telling not attack the team rocket members. He told them to try get information on the intruders and they did as he said. The rest of the evening Ash trained his pokemon, Nate looking at the lock opener thing, Hilda looking at the security footage and Hugh and Rosa having some alone time. After a while they all went to sleep, because they had been up all night.

The next day Ash woke up in his bed looking at his watch that was set at 2.56 PM. The first thing he wanted to do was to see if Cynthia was okay. He called for gardevoir and they teleported to Cynthia's room. When they were there he saw Cynthia sleeping. Her golden hair laying on the bed and Cynthia herself curled up in a ball. Ash decided to not wake her up but joined her instead. After a few minutes Cynthia woke up. She felt a hand at her breast. She looked back and saw Ash laying there. She didn't mind, because after all she was a lewd girl. She sighed and put her clothes on and kissed Ash. He woke up and saw Cynthia standing there smiling.

"The whole point sleeping with me was to grab my breast?" Cynthia asked Ash.

"I don't know what you are talking about, but if I did I am sorry", he said as he stood up again. Cynthia rolled her eyes and went down to the kitchen. The maid had heard them upstairs and prepared breakfast. Ash came down just a few seconds later. They started eating and just talking to each other. Until a message broke the chattering. Both had gotten a message at the same time. They looked on their phones and it was from Scott. It said the following:

Hi, Scott here, your partner for the Championship has been decided. Your partner is Cynthia Shirona, the Sinnoh champion. Your duo fights will always be 3 on 3 battles! The Championship will start in 3 days. But a meeting will be held the day before at 1.00 PM to discuss and tell you guys the final details. People from all over the world will come so I hope you are prepared!

Ash looked at Cynthia and she looked at him, both grinning at each other. The excitement of watching him battle was now going to be shared, the blood rushing through her veins, her heart beating for him would now be connected. The temperature would rise in the battlefield. The plans Ash made when he was stuck in a corner mid battle would be shared, his secret battle tactics would be spoiled to her. The maid jumped and clapped her hands while she read Cynthia's message. Ash took up his hologram and asked the 4 guardians which partners they have gotten. They replied with:

RosaxDrake

HughxLance

HildaxGlacia

NatexFlint

Ash nodded because they all had gotten elite 4 members from different regions, other than lance being a champion.

"Well then let's go to showing our pokemon shall we?" Ash asked Cynthia and she agreed. They teleported (using gardevoir) to the field.

"So what pokemon are you using the first round Cynthia?"

"These boys, come out!" She screamed as she was throwing her pokeballs in the air. The pokemon the emerged was milotic, garchomp and spiritbomb.

"Not a bad team Cynthia, well here is mine" he threw only one pokeball in the air. The pokemon that came out was pikachu.

"OMG ASH WHY YOU LEAVE ME IN THERE FOR SO LONG?!" Pikachu screamed while jumping on Ash's shoulder. Ash just laughed. Cynthia looked confused when she only saw Ash having 2 pokemon out, the other one being gardevoir.

"You only have 2 pokemon?" Cynthia asked him.

"No, but the last one is a secret" he said and winked at her. Cynthia ran up to him demanding what pokemon it was. Ash just laughed and ran away from her.

Kyoto region – 2 Days later 1.00 PM

"This is the location of the arena?" Drake asked himself when he stood in front of the champions mansion. When he said that the doors opened Ash came out being Zac, wearing his hoodie.

"Welcome to my mansion and our personal arena" he said while pointing at his mansion. While he did that the ground started to shake. They saw an Arena come out of the ground, that was connected to the mansion.

"Welcome inside, just go up the stairs and forward. You can't miss it", Ash said as he smiled to his guests.

"You have the cameras ready?" Ash whispered through his wristband.

"They are ready sir" meowth answered through the wristband. Ash nodded to himself and followed the other guests in to the arena. At the end of the hall Scott stood in a big room with A gigantic window behind it, from the view you could see the whole arena. It was the VIP room.

"Welcome everybody, here we are all the 128 trainers making 64 pairs participating in this championship. I am Scott as you should now. On the right, you see a TV screen with all the pairings and when your match is. The matches will always be 3 on 3 battles but with random battlefields and rules. The matches will start tomorrow, the first match being Zac and Cynthia vs Misty and Clair at 9.00 AM! In total, there will be 64 matches!" Ash looked at Cynthia and nodded.

"The other matches will come up during the first match! Have a nice day and the ones who travelled from far away, we have rooms you can stay in here in the arena!" Scott said as he walked down the stage.

"Well those 2 shouldn't be a problem" Ash said to Cynthia.

"I don't have any fairy types that can counter Clair's dragon pokemon, do you?" She asked Ash, and he just grinned.

"Oh I got one, promise me" he said and grinned.

"Looks like we got this then", Cynthia said and took Ash's hand and they walked back to his room.

Tomorrow 8.55 PM on the battlefield

Cynthia and Ash stood at the battlefield. It was a grass plain arena, that was good for any grass pokemon. That was good because none of us had one, so no bonuses for anyone. Because Misty is a water focused gym leader and Clair being a dragon focused gym leader.

"HEEELOOOOO EVERYBODYYYYYYYYYYYY its your host Scott here with 2 guests with me today, first we have one of the 4 guardians of Kyoto. Her Name is Hildaaaaaaaaaaa. The second guest, the champion of the Kanto region. Lanceeeeeeee himself!" Scott screamed through the mic and the whole crowd started cheering with him.

"So, Hilda which team do you think will win?"

"Ash and Cynthia easy" she answered.

"I think so to but I think Misty and Clair won't go down that easy" Lance said and Hilda grinned.

"Trainers send out your pokemon, u may switch pokemon during the match only once!"

"Spiritbomb come and give me a hand!" Cynthia screamed while throwing her pokeball in the air.

"Nine tails come and give me a hand to!" Ash screamed and out came not an ordinary ninetails, it was and blue one with a cloud shaped tail. It was an Aloalan Ninetails. 'That's his secret pokemon?! It is so beautiful' Cynthia thought.

"That won't matter, come out dragonair" said Clair.

"Come out gyarodos", Misty said both throwing out there pokeball.

"Start the battle!" Ash let out his hand meaning that they could have the first move.

"Fine then, gyarodos water gun at the ninetails." A spear of water was aiming for ninetails.

"Dodge it and calm mind", Ash screamed and ninetails did ash she was commanded.

"She is open, use thunderbolt on ninetails", Clair demanded dragonair. The bolt of thunder charged up and was soon ready to be fired on ninetails.

"Won't let that happen, shadow pulse at dragonair", Cynthia said and it was a clean hit before dragonair could use thunderbolt.

"Now ninetails, do a hyper beam at dragonair." Nine tails charged up the hyper beam and it fired. It hit and it was a strong attack because of the attack boost from calm mind.

"Dragonair is unable to battle! Send out your next pokemon."

"Okay kingdra, lets show them!"

"Gyarodos, flamethrower on spiritbomb!" Flame erupted and was heading for spirit bomb.

"Kingdra shoot a dragon pulse at ninetails!" The white dragon like shadow flew through the air heading for ninetails.

"Ninetails stand on guard!"

"Spiritbomb shoot a darkpusle at the flamethrower", the moves collided and a big smoke came onto the arena.

"Nice Clair you hit ninetails!" Misty said. The smoke cleared and saw that Ninetails didn't even have a scratch.

"How?" Cynthia asked Ash.

"She is a fairy/ice pokemon my dear. Dragon attacks can't hurt her", he said and smiled. Cynthia had never seen such a ninetails before so she didn't know what type it was. The arena was getting hotter and hotter like Cynthia wanted it to be. The blood in her veins rushed through her heart that was pumping blood like crazy. This was the moment she had been waiting for a long time.

"F-fine kingdra, watergun at spiritbomb!"

"Gyarodos do a flamethrower at Spiritbomb." The spear of water and the flames emerged creating 1 big attack, and it closed in on spiritbomb and he was to slow to dodge it.

"Ninetails use protect to protect spiritbomb!" Ash screamed as ninetails ran in front of spiritbomb, creating a blue substance that protected both of pokemon underneath it. Some of the damage went through it because it wasn't made too take 2 attacks at onece. Ninetails had taken some damage.

"Are you okay ninetails?" ninetails stood up and nodded. 'It was a fire attack so she could have taken a lot of damage, need to be on my guard.'

"Spiritbomb use psychic on kingdra!"

"Ninetails use hyperbeam a little on the right from kingdra!"

"Gyarodos try to protect kingdra from damage fast and push him out of the way!" Gyarodos ran to kingdra and took the psychic attack and pushed kingdra out of the way thinking hyperbeam would miss. But misty isn't so smart as she looks.

"Ninetails hyperbeam!" Ash screamed and ninetails aimed a little to the right from where originally kingdra was located, it was a clear shot on both kingdra and gyarodos. Because hyperbeam takes some time to charge, and misty forgot that. Both pokemon down.

"Gyarodos and Kingdra are unable to battle! Send out your next pokemon!"

"Dragonite come out!" Clair shouted.

"Starmie I need a hand", Misty said.

"Dragonite use outrage on spiritbomb!"

"Ninetails take it!" Ash screamed and ninetails rolled in front of spiritbomb and took the dragon attack dealing no damage to her.

"Now fast starmie, use surf on spiritbomb while ninetails is distracted!" The wave of water hit spiritbomb and it was a critical hit. He didn't have a lot of HP left.

"Spiritbomb return, Garchomp help me out!" Cynthia said.

"Nine tails return, gardevoir come and help me!" the 2 trainers switched their pokemon and according to the rules they couldn't switch anymore after this.

"Misty, we could have switched to, we are stupid!"

"Don't care about that now, starmie thunder at garchomp!"

"Gardevoir counter it with shadowball!" The 2 attacks collided and the smoke filled the arena once again.

"Garchomp sunny day!" And the arena started to light up. Making fire attacks even stronger.

"Clair, I can't see where they are! The smoke is covering my sight!" Ash had made up a plan as the smoke covered the battlefield. 'Gardevoir, use double team and send out one fake clone on the right while you use calm mind and charge a hyperbeam in the smoke' Ash told gardevoir using telepathy. Gardevoir nodded and did what Ash said. She summoned the clone and It flew out of the smoke.

"There she is! Dragonite use Dragon pulse on gardevoir!"

"Starmie thunder again!" the dragon shaped attack and the thunder flew through the battlefield and the attacks hit the fake gardevoir and it just vanished. The smoke cleared after a few seconds. Reviling the real gardevoir ready to launch a hyperbeam.

"Gardevoir hyper beam at Dragonite!"

"Garchomp use flamethrower at starmie" The powerful beam and the enhanced fire attack hit both dragonite and starmie, dragonite fainted.

"Dragonite is unable to battle, Clair is out of the match.

"I forfeit", Misty said to the judge.

"Misty surrendered, the winners are Cynthia and Zac. The whole crowd started to applause and cheer on them. Both Ash and Cynthia was drowning in sweet. They both missed the excitement of battling.

"Wow what a battle, both of the teams had their tactics but I am still amazed how the gardevoir did that hyperbeam in the smoke taking out dragonite. Hilda, you have an explanation?" Scott asked Hilda.

"Well you see this was the case, Zac's gardevoir can use double team. She duplicated herself and send out a fake one so Misty and Clair would attack the Clone. While they attacked gardevoir used calm mind to boost attack and defence, then charged up a hyperbeam to do an ultimate attack taking dragonite out.

"Well Hilda that was a spectacular explanation. But wait, what is this? Am I seeing things? Is it the champions kissing each other?! Do we have a new couple introduced?! A big applause for the winners down there kissing!", Scott said surprised at what he saw. The whole crowd started to scream and cheer even more as Cynthia and Ash waved up to them, walking out hand in hand.

"Hugh, look at this", said Nate when he opened his hologram, showing a video.

"We need to tell Ash fast", Hugh said as he stood up and walked back to the mansion.
