Hello Everyone, I'm back with another chapter. First things first, my computer recently died and I lost all of the information for my stories. So I've been spending time trying to get back as much as I can but it's been really hard to stay on task. So if you're expecting med to update Adventures in Romance or Captured then be prepared to wait at least a few months. I am sorry but that is how things are going to be. But enough of the negatives, let's get on with the show:

Chapter 4
It had been three days since the group of four left the Tower of Mastery. They had now arrived at the PLHQ and went to their separate hotel rooms to prepare for the first day of meetings. Cynthia had begun to think about where she was in her life. She was the youngest champion in the history of the Pokemon League, but this was nothing. In fact, she had become lonely at the top. Sure, she had a few close friends but she couldn't find a nice young man to date. She was afraid that all of them were just after her fame and would brag about the chance to date her. It was at this moment she thought about Clemont and how hard his life had been. Bonnie had told her that their mother was the gym leader before her brother and they used to be a happy and complete family. However, that all changed when their mother fell ill, she had been working as the Kalos representative to the pokemon league but returned one trip and was never the same. After nearly a six-month fight will the strange illness, she passed away leaving a 12-year-old son, a year-old daughter, and a grieving husband behind. Times had been tough for the siblings who barely could afford enough food to eat even after Clemont decided to take over the gym. Cynthia took time to reflect on her own life and note how lucky she was. It was at this moment when she left the room and went downstairs to the hotel lobby to eat breakfast with everyone else.
The Lumiose siblings were already eating and Korrina wasn't far behind. The four of them talked about what issues could be brought up over the course of the week. Cynthia wondered if Goodshow was going to bring up the Ash situation since the loss of league officials is a huge deal. They decided not to bring it up anymore and headed off to go to the conference hall. As they entered, the group saw all of the other gym leaders from Kalos as well as the champion and elite 4. The regions were separated from each other which meant Cynthia had to go over and sit with the Sinnoh region gym leaders. She did however see an old friend in Brock (who was there in place of his brother Forrest) and began to converse with him. The other region's elite four and champions began to funnel in as well and were socializing with each other when they heard Goodshow's voice boom throughout the building. Everyone stopped talking as Goodshow entered the hall and sat at the head table.
"Alright everyone, we are here for our end of year wrap of meetings. So let's start with budgets" he spoke, causing everyone to groan at the prospect of doing their budgets immediately. "I know, I know, but we might as well get it out of the way now" chuckled the league president. This as well as some other small subjects took nearly four hours to do before everyone finished for the day. Bonnie had fallen asleep over the course of the meeting and was resting on Clemont's shoulder when the tables were starting to be. Cynthia came over and saw Bonnie asleep,
"Awww she's so cute" thought the champion, as Bonnie began to stir.
"Clemont I'm going to need to you stay after for a bit and talk with me in my office." Ordered Goodshow, approaching the group. Clemont became afraid that he had done something wrong but was assured by the old man that it was not.
"I can't leave Bonnie like this?" groaned Clemont, his sister still asleep.
"I can take her back to your room" Cynthia offered, catching Clemont by surprise.
"Are you sure?" he asked, which Cynthia responded with a simple nod. With that she picked up Bonnie and gave the sleeping girl a piggyback ride out the conference hall while Clemont followed Goodshow back to his office. The two of them reached the office and Goodshow sat behind his desk where he motioned for Clemont to sit down.
"Would you like anything to drink? I've got water, juice, even some whiskey." offered the elderly gentleman.
"No I'm ok. What did you want to talk about" he replied sheepishly.
"I'm just checking up on you my boy. Your family hasn't been the same ever since your mother Laura (Their mother's name is never mentioned so I just made one up) passed away. How are you three holding up?" Goodshow asked concernedly.
"We've been ok, I guess. My dad has to take double shifts at his electrician store just to keep us afloat and I barely have time to do anything else but run the gym. Recently we were able to get a bit of a break but that has stopped." sighed Clemont.
"Well my boy, I believe I have something that might help your situation." This perked Clemont up and he leaned forward in his chair. "You see Ramos has decided to retire and with it comes the opening of the Kalos representative position. Would you be willing to take up the mantle that is rightfully yours?" Goodshow asked the boy.
Clemont sat there with a stunned look on his face. "I don't think I will be able to take care of the gym if I accept the position and that would mean less income for my family." He replied, sadness clear on his face.
"Don't worry about that, your knew position triples your current pay and also allows you several weeks off a year. All you have to do is report to me about the workings of the Kalos gyms." The old man explained.
Clemont's mouth hung open in shock. "I don't know what to say. Your offer is very generous." he let out.
"You could say yes" laughed Goodshow,
"Alright I accept" responded Clemont, shaking the chairman's hand.
"I will transfer the new payment into your account right away. Remember that you are to carry out the league's will in your region. Now go on, your sister is waiting." Goodshow shooed him out of the room. As soon as Clemont left the room, the old man received a call from the Phantom.
"So what was that all about" asked the shadowy figure.
"I need a man on the inside to keep the Kalos leaders in check with Diantha. He won't dare disobey me, his family needs the money." Goodshow explained.
"And if he does?" the Phantom questioned.
"Let's just say he may lose the rest of his family." laughed Goodshow.
With Clemont
The young man was practically jumping for joy at this recent development. "This is our big break. Maybe dad can finally spend more time with us. Also, I should probably get in shape to look the part" he thought, heading back to the hotel. When he got back to his room, he saw that Cynthia was there playing with Bonnie.
The two of them noticed that Clemont's posture and attitude was very positive. They decided to let it be for now and laughed as he joined in their game. It was at this moment a Cynthia opened her laptop and was stunned at what she saw. "Uh Clemont, you might want to see this." She motioned for the boy to come over.
"What do you need me to gasp" Clemont's jaw dropped. On the screen was a report from Kalos showing that Grace Yvonne had been reported missing after her home was attacked by figures in black uniforms and masks. "Dear Arceus, this keeps getting worse and worse." Clemont nearly fainted.
"I take it you knew her?" Cynthia asked and was confirmed by Bonnie.
"Yeah she is Serena's mother." The little girl revealed.
"How deep down the buneary-hole does this go? First Ash's mother and now this.? The champion thought. The trio decided to change the subject and continued their game. "After these meetings wrap up, I am going to be traveling to Sinnoh to see if I can find out more clues to what is going on. My grandmother is an expert in pokemon mythology so maybe she can help us." Cynthia said aloud to the siblings.
"I wish we could go with you. Ash needs our help too" Bonnie whined.
"Maybe we can." Clemont whispered, shocking his sister.
"What do you mean we can Clemont? What about the gym? she asked.
"I have to tell you two something. Goodshow offered me the Kalos representative position." he let out.
"Wow Clemont that's fantastic, Congratulations" exclaimed Cynthia
"Now you won't have to worry anymore". Bonnie was just as ecstatic for her big brother but the two girls noticed that he was still very somber about it.
"I don't know if I deserve it." He sighed, thinking about his mother.
"Is it because of mom?" asked Bonnie, knowing the look her brother had on his face.
"I feel that there is no way I can live up to the job she had done." He responded.
The two girls looked on in silence before Cynthia decided to say something. "I'm sure your mother will be proud of whatever you do" she whispered, putting a comforting hand on Clemont's shoulder. The gym leader smiled and accepted this allowing for the trio to continue the game after dinner.
Hall of Origins
Ash was continuing his training with Lucario in the main forest along with Serena who was beginning to learn how to use the power of the Kalos guardians. Things were progressing rather well for the two of them when Reikon entered the room. "Ash, Serena, I've come across rather disturbing news." The pokemon spoke, getting the attention of the two humans.
"What is that?" they both asked, putting a halt to their training.
"Serena your mother was attacked and is currently missing." Reikon revealed.
"WHHAAATT, we have to save her." Serena said aloud with concern and horror.
"I don't know where she is and we can't go back for another 4 days?" the psychic type revealed.
"WHHYYY NNOOTT!" roared Serena who was on the verge of tears.
"We I forgot to mention about the Hall of Origin is that it is technically not even on Earth but in a separate dimension that can only be accessed with the help of Palkia. Palkia can only use his powers for this once every four days until the Damos Clan heir is found." Reikon explained. Serena collapsed onto the ground and began to cry, knowing full fell that she might never see her mother again.
Ash went down on a knee to console her but one thought rang out in his mind "Where have I heard the name Damos before"?
"I'm sorry Serena but until Ash claims the rest of his mates our ability to travel between dimensions is limited to Palkia's powers alone." revealed Reikon. It took nearly an hour, but Serena stopped crying and threw herself back into her training, allowing Ash to continue his own with Lucario.
Michina Town Ruins: Four Days Later
Atop the Michina town ruins and staring into the sky was a 19-year-old girl named Sheena. Although she looked normal like any other girl (wearing a blue and white skirt dress with black leggings and a ribbon around her neck. See her movie artwork if you want a more accurate picture.) she had a secret. Sheena was the last living descendent of Damos, one of the original humans whom Arceus interacted with. The 19-year-old women stood near the top of the ruins and looked out into the sky as thoughts raced in her mind. For as long as she could remember Sheena always knew what she wanted in life. She wanted to do right by Arceus and marry the man of her dreams. For a long time, that man was her guardian Kevin. When Sheena was eight her parents were killed in a car crash leaving her an orphan. Kevin was a family friend and at the age of 15 began taking care of the young girl. Admiration for her caregiver changed to love when Sheena got older and she had planned to show him her feelings soon.
However, recently those plans began to change. Over the past few weeks Sheena had been hit with constant dreams about one Ash Ketchum who had helped her pacify Arceus two years ago. In these dreams she saw Ash surrounded by the legendary pokemon of Sinnoh along with five other human silhouettes. Ash would step closer towards Sheena and as the light would shine on him his skin would change to look as if he was a mixture of Arceus and a Lucario (His tattoo pattern). He would then envelope her in a hug before placing a passionate kiss upon her lips. It was at this moment where Sheena would always wake up from the dream. At first it didn't bother her but the dream kept returning and she would wake up with her nightgown embarrassingly soaked in her fluids because the dreams were too vivid for it not to be a sign of something more. Because of these dreams she was on the fence about revealing her feelings to Kevin. What she had noticed from the dream was that Ash was hot, like really hot and it drove her crazy. That along with the caring attitude he showed when he was in Michina Town made him all the more appealing the young lady. She was woken from her the by Kevin who tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hey, are you ok Sheena? You've been awful quite these last few days." he asked the girl.
"I don't know Kevin I've been feeling it a bit off and have been having some strange dreams. They could possibly be premonitions but I'm not too sure." she revealed to her caretaker.
"Well tell me what they are about and maybe I can help." Kevin chided playfully.
"Well do you remember the boy who helped us pacify Arceus several years ago?" she asked him. "
Vaguely, why?" he responded knowing full well who the young man was but he wouldn't let Sheena know that for his own sake.
"Because I believe that the visions are about him helping me in the future." She whispered, looking away from her caretaker. If she was able to see Kevin's face, she would have noticed his eyes bulge at her sentence.
"Let's worry about that later. We should enjoy today." Kevin recovered, putting a reassuring hand on Sheena. Suddenly the sound of whirling blades could be heard and the duo looked up to see a helicopter flying towards them. "That's weird, we never see… look out!" yelled Kevin, grabbing Sheena and diving into a crevice as explosions began to reign down upon the ruins.
"What's going on Kevin." whispered a scared Sheena as her face was buried into Kevin's chest.
"I don't know but we just have to wait this out. So I can get some answers and protect her." He responded. After 10 minutes the raid stopped and Kevin was able to take a peek out of the crevice to see the helicopter land on the ground and two figures exit from the vehicle. The first person was a woman that looked to be in her mid 20's. She had scarlet colored hair and matching eyes. Her partner was a man in his early 30's who possessed blue hair with two spiked tips. "How did they escape from prison" Kevin screamed internally as he gently pushed Sheena against the wall. The two people getting out of the helicopter were none other than Saturn and Mars of Team Galactic. "Sheena, I want you to listen to me carefully. Run back to town as fast as you can. These people are after you and will stop at nothing to achieve their goal." he let out, shocking the girl.
"What about you?" she pleaded, grabbing his arm to try and prevent him from leaving.
"I'm going to try and stop them." he whispered reassuringly. With that he climbed out of the crevice and confronted the dangerous duo. "So, what are two former Team Galactic Commanders doing out of prison and disturbing my ruins?" Kevin asked sarcastically.
"We're here to take that pretty little lass of yours's to our boss so he can prevent the chosen one from rising." Saturn growled out.
"Yeah and besides, there's three of us. Jupiter is driving the chopper." Mars added.
Kevin paled at this but didn't waver. "You will never get her." He snarled and tossed out two pokeballs to reveal an Electivire and a Magmortar.
"Oh well, have it your way." Said Saturn as the duo tossed out their own pokemon. Mars released her Purugly while Saturn let out his Toxicroak. The four pokemon engaged in battle but Kevin could not order them because the Galactic Admins were on him and they began to fight hand-to-hand. Meanwhile Sheena was beginning to get herself up out of the crevice and started running towards the direction of Machina Town. "Shit, Jupiter go after her." Saturn ordered at the helicopter.
"I can't let that happen" thought Kevin as he ordered Electivire to short circuit the chopper with a thunder. However, this left Toxicroak alone long enough to maneuver its way behind Kevin. The electric type tried to let out a warning shout but it was too late as Kevin was stabbed from behind by the poison type's arm blades. Kevin let out a cry in pain as he ordered his pokemon to go and protect Sheena. The two pokemon followed his orders, leaving their trainer behind to catch up with Sheena, however the Galactic duo were hot on their heels. Sheena was running as fast as she could, however the climb down although normally safe was extremely harsh when rushing. She had already injured herself and was covered in large gashes that were bleeding pretty heavily when she saw Electivire rush from behind her and pick her up. But just as this happened, she was blasted from the pokemon's arms by Toxicroak and landed on the ground with a sickening crunch. She let out a scream of pain and looked down at her body to see her leg bent at an unnatural angle.
"Well, well, well. The last descendant of the Damos clan lying before our feet with a broken leg." laughed Saturn as he bent down and stamped on Sheena's arm, breaking that as well. The girl beneath him screamed in terror and pain while Mars made sure Kevin's pokemon were unconscious.
"What do you want." Sheena cried weakly as the pain became near unbearable.
"We need you to stop the Chosen One silly." Mars responded as the downed girl began to slip into unconsciousness. Sheena was beginning to lose a decent amount of blood and the Galactic duo knew they had to hurry.
"Alright Mars, signal for Jupiter to get down here and…" Saturn was caught off as the flying helicopter exploded in mid-air due to a blast coming from behind them. The duo turned around and their mouths hit the floor. Standing there was the Creation Trio, also known as Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina.
"Step away from our lady." ordered Dialga.
"That's impossible…" stuttered Mars. Saturn was not as intimidated and grabbed the unconscious Sheena by the throat with the intent of using the poor girl as a hostage for the time being.
"Giratina now!" ordered Palkia to her brethren. Suddenly black tendrils appeared from the ground beneath the Duo's feet and pierced them from behind, killing them instantly.
"Hurry, we need to get her back to the hall." Said Giratina, seeing the extent that his lady was injured. Palkia nodded and quickly opened up a portal back to the Hall of Origin. She then carefully lifted the girl up and went through the portal with Dialga and Giratina.
With Kevin Several Minutes Ago
Bleeding profusely and dying, the young man saw a large explosion caused by an attack he had seen only once before, two years ago. Knowing that his charge was safe in the hands of her guardians he tapped a button on his watch and spoke. "Echo Base, this is S2. I will not make it out of this but the Damos Clan heir is safe with her guardians. This will be my final report". With that Kevin expired and joined Arceus.
Hall of Origin
Ash and Serena had just finished their training for the day and were seeing how their pokemon were progressing. Suddenly the Sinnoh Guardians came through a portal holding an injured and unconscious Sheena. "Dear Arceus what happened?" Cried Serena as the two of them and Lucario ran over to the girl.
"She was attacked by several of Goodshow's fools." growled Giratina.
"Serena go grab Latias and tell her to meet us in the Damos Clan bedroom. Ash if you're going to learn how to use Aura to heal others than there is no time better than now." Lucario ordered. The two humans nodded and rushed to get Sheena to a clean bed where the pokemon could help her.
And that concludes the 4th chapter of our story. A few of you have been asking for the harem list so here it is: Sabrina, Clair, Anabel, Sheena, Female N, and Serena. People were also asking about Cynthia being added to the harem but I have to put my foot down on this idea. I have nothing against Cynthia, in fact I believe she and Ash would make a great couple but the girls for this story have to be connected to a clan or have powers (I made an exception for Serena because who doesn't love amourshipping). Cynthia in this story will be paired with Clemont for those who haven't seen my original story. I feel that Clemont needs a strong woman to keep him on task and Cynthia is perfect for him. Anyway, as always; fave, follow, and review. Until next time Commard out.
