And so, the saga continues...

-line break-

Ash sighed in relief, He was finally free from the tug of war Cynthia and Sabrina had. Of course, he escaped in a which would piss them off.

-flashback-

The girls stared at him. Expecting to hear an answer.

Sabrina knew she had a disadvantage so she gave a pout, which made her adorable and also crossed her arms under her boobs, making them look bigger. Cynthia gave a bitter sweet smile, daring him to not pick her.

He hoped the universe was laughing at his expense cause he sure wasn't.

"Hey look! Is that a Rayquaza?!" he exclaimed.

"Where?" Both girls turned their heads towards where he was pointing, to see nothing there. They turned their heads back to their love interest. To find no one there.

-flashback end-

"Pi pika pikachu pika pichu pikachu pi. Pichu pikachu pi pikachu chu pika pi chu chu.. (You do realize that when they catch you. You are as good as a dead man.)" Pikachu who was on his shoulder stated. At the moment they were far away from the stadium and in the middle of a large clearing in a forest.

"I know." Ash sighed with s smile then his face became serious. Turning his head to his left, he smiled. "You know I can sense you there. Might as well come out, I'm not the type to play duck duck goose."

Nothing happened and Ash gave an annoyed sighed.

Then he pointed his palm to his left. And with lightning fast speed, launched three aura sphere at the trees. The trees around exploded into blue and eventual red flames.

The flames quickly died down and pikachu jumped off Hus best friend's shoulder with his red electrical pouches producing electricity in s threatening way.

"So what I've been told about you is true." an unfamiliar voice said and pikachu was about to pounce

"Pikachu, please! Your move civilized than this." Ash commanded. "Ace Balthazar I pressure."

"..." Ace didn't reply. He lunged at Ash with his fist glowing blue.

Ash kept his ground and Pikachu jumped back. The punch connected but Ash hadn't moved an inch from his spot. Ace looked shocked for a moment. But then unleashed a flurry of aura enhanced punches and kicks. Each strong enough to shatter 20 feet boulders into a billion little pieced.

Pikachu watched in horror as his trainer was pounded to the ground.

Ash suddenly caught both Ace's hands. They were on the ground with Ash under Ace. His face and body were barely bruised. He only had a little dirt on him. "It was getting annoying."

With that he launched Ace in the air and got up before Ace would fall on the ground and swatted him away like a fly with a backhand to Ace's stomach.

Ace crashed through a few trees and smacked on the fifth.

"What an angry man, right Pikachu?" asked Ash. "Would you be a dear and hide someplace safe? And no bringing help. I can handle this."

The yellow mouse Pokémon nodded and sped off.

"Raw!" Ace came flying out of no where, appeared behind Ash and sent many aura spheres at the raven haired man. The balls of aura energy hit ash straight on his back.

Smoke covered Ash's. Physical body but Ace knew where Ash was because of Aura sense.

Ace stopped the aura sphere barrage. Ash appeared behind Ace, grabbed him by the back of his head and smashed Ace's head on the ground, creating a small crater. Then Ash did a full body swirl still clutching the Back of Ace's head and threw him far away.

Turning around, Ash began to walk away, feeling bored with this 'fight'.

"Don't underestimate me!" Ace roared. Ash looked up and saw Ace 50 feet in the air, with a small but significantly stronger Aura Sphere In his hand.

"Back at ya." Ash muttered. Raising his hand and catching the small ball of energy in his palm, crushing it instantly afterwards.

Ace's eyes widened and he got sucker sucker punched by ash in the gut. But before Ace could have been blasted away, Ash grabbed his right hand, stopping him from flying away. Then Ash used his free hand. Using his index finger, Ash stabbed Ace's main pressure points faster than Ace even feel it.

Ash lazily threw the younger Aura guardian a few feet away from him. "At least this didn't end in blood bath like I thought it would.

"So, why try to kill me?" asked Ash even though he pretty much had a good idea why.

"Like I'd tell you." Ace scoffed. Then sound of a pokeball opening rang. And a short yellow Pokémon with a mustache and two silver spoons in his hand appeared.

"Alakazam!" The Pokémon screeched.

"Teleport!" Ace ordered and in a flash they were gone. Leaving Ash.

"Pika pichu pikachu?! (Is it safe to come out?!)" Pikachu poked his head out of a hole he found a little far away.

"Yeah." Ash said and Pikachu ran back to his trainer.

"Any idea to what I may have done for him to try and kill me?" Ash asked picking the mouse up while pikachu could only shrug.

'Ash. I must speak to you.' A gruff but calm voice said.

'What's on your mind Mewtwo?' asked Ash in the telepathic link.

'That man, who you called Master Silver. Who is he?' asked the cloned Pokémon.

Ash almost fell down. But kept his ground, but even though he didn't fall, Pikachu did fall.

"Pi! Pikachu! (Ow! Watch it)" he groaned.

"Sorry." Ash apologized and picked his little buddy up. "Mewtwo, could you teleport us back to our room?"

'As you wish.' Both trainer and Pokemon closed their eyes, teleporting with eyes open tends to cause temporary blindness.

Ash opened his eyes and paled.

In front of him was Cynthia and Sabrina.

'I'm dead!' He thought to himself.

"Welcome back!" Both exclaimed sweetly and Ash paled more.

"Listen..." Cynthia began.

"We need to talk." Sabrina finished.

Yes I know. The chapter was incredibly short. I just have Major headache and the past week haven't gone well. I'll try to make the next chapter bigger.
