The next morning Ash woke up early, well earlier than usual so it was still pretty late so everyone was up and ready for the day. Ash's eyes fluttered open to find his bed Pokemon-free so he safely assumed everyone was up and ready for the big day.
Once Ash had his shower, brushed his teeth got changed and all the other essential he fled his room to go downstairs and found the smell of fresh Pancakes. "Morning everyone" Ash said groggily even though he had a shower.
"Morning Ash" everyone chimed at the same time as his mum served up some pancakes and put them on a plate in front of him. "Thanks mum" Ash said. "No problem Ashy now eat up since from what I hear you're not telling anyone what you're doing" Delia said getting serious. "Don't worry mom I'll be fine just trust me and I promise, if it helps I'll try not to get myself killed" Ash said. "I think you mean you won't get yourself killed" Delia corrected him.
"Yeah, that" Ash said slowly, "Don't worry anyway, I'm just calling in a few favors and deeds" Ash said mysteriously. "Ok but if you die I'll kill you" Cynthia said. "I'll hold you to that" Ash replied chuckling. "Well I'm out of here" Ash said stepping outside to get some of his strongest Pokemon.
"Sceptile, Infernape, Lapras, Snorlax and Quilava" Ash said returning them to their Pokeballs. "Great, now Charizard let's go" Ash said while the trio and Ash hopped onto Charizard and soared high in the sky to unknown places.
Meanwhile
"Well we best get going if we want to get to Pallet Town and back soon" Cynthia said as Paul just grunted. "Okay then let's go, see ya Delia and Reggie" Percy said before walking out the door. "DRAGONITE" Percy yelled and moments later you could see all the palm tree's bending back.
"Hey Dragonite let's get going" Percy said as Paul and Cynthia mounted Skarmory and Garchomp respectively. "Grraaa" snorted Dragonite as he took off into the sky. "Let's see if you can keep up" Percy yelled as he got Dragonite to go full speed which is almost as Pidgeot. Almost. "No Problem" Cynthia yelled back tailgating him, with Paul just behind Cynthia.
After about 10 minutes they finally arrived in Pallet Town at the doorstep of Professor Oak's lab. "Hey Professor, Open up the damn door we don't have all da-" Percy said while leaning until it flew open and Percy fell down with a thud.
"Long time no see Professor" Percy said to a confused looking Professor. "Who are you" Inquired Oak. "Why do I always get this reaction" Percy muttered to himself. "Look into the eyes, who else do you know that has my colored eyes" Percy said opening up his eyes.
"Well you have Sea Green eyes" Oak said until a shock of realization hit his face. "No, no, no, no, no, no are you kidding me Percy my boy" Oak said before giving Percy a quick hug. "I'm assuming you're here for what I think you are" Oak said gesturing to Cynthia and Paul.
"If that is what I think it means then yes, yes it does and is Gary here I need to beat some sense into him" Percy said slowly and maliciously. "No, he's in Honen doing research then" Oak said while taking Percy's Pokedex. "Okay then I'll just beat some sense into him later" Percy said.
"You do that" Paul muttered. "I will, hey Professor I was thinking I heard something about a big Tournament on in 3 weeks what's the deal about that" Cynthia asked remembering the poster in Celestic Town she saw on the way to the cemetery.
"Scott is organizing a competition with all the world's best trainers handpicked by him and I'm pretty sure that all of you got an invite and I think your brother might be coming out of retirement Paul" Oak said shocking them all, well other than Paul who just grunted.
"Good a great way to get in shape before we head off to Kalos" Percy said rubbing his hands together. "Sounds good to me but are the others going to be there" Cynthia said slowly. "Yes, they have all been invited but also you should get your invites tomorrow Pelipper Mail" Oak said sighing.
"Okay time to get cracking if we are going to win this thing we got to get training" Percy said while taking his Pokedex and sprinting outside to get to the island and start training. "Ugh some things never change" Oak said sighing. "Well I've got to get back to work goodbye" Oak said excusing himself.
"Goodbye Professor" Cynthia said while Paul being Paul just grunted a goodbye, as usual. "We might want to catch up to him" Cynthia said as she could see Percy in the distance on his Dragonite. "You go ahead I'm going to catch some Pokemon" Paul said in a low tone before flying off on Skarmory.
"Okay I'll go and catch some Pokemon after lunch" Cynthia thought. "Garchomp, catch Percy" Cynthia said as she mounted Garchomp and broke the sound barrier. "Woah that was fast" Percy said as Cynthia appeared next to him.
"Then you haven't seen Ash's Pidgeot" Cynthia stated as Percy looked in awe. "Well I'll just have to race him tomorrow when he gets back then" Percy said with a small smile curled onto his lips. 10 bucks you'll lose" Cynthia said smirking. "Deal, and where's Paul" Percy asked the blonde trainer. "Pokemon catching" Cynthia replied.
"Okay well while he's doing that then I'm going to train" Percy said. "I know I heard you before" Cynthia said as they landed. "Okay well catch you later" Percy said before taking off into the island. "Garchomp rest up well be busy later" Cynthia said while walking inside leaving Garchomp to go rest.
"Hey Cynthia" Delia said looking slightly tired since she had just finished making lunch. "Hey Delia you look tired" Cynthia said. "I'm fine I just made us some lunch" Delis replied. "Well then you can go to the hot spring and relax, you've earned it" Cynthia said.
"No I'm fine" Delia said before she received the look from Cynthia. "Fine I'll go" Delia said before walking off to the hot spring. "Hey Reggie" Cynthia said as she spotted him at the table eating the sandwich's made for lunch by Delia.
"Hey Cynthia what's up" Reggie asked the former Champion. "Nothing except the fact that the biggest tournament for the century is coming around and you're coming out of retirement" Cynthia stated bluntly to a shocked Reggie. "Care to elaborate" Reggie said wide-eyed.
"Well in other word's Scott has organized a tournament in 3 weeks that is huge and has asked the best trainers from around the globe to come and compete and you, me, Paul, Percy and of course Ash has" Cynthia said taking a bite of a sandwich.
"Well then I might as well get started with my training then because if there is one thing I've learned it's never turn Scott down" Reggie said finishing off his sandwich and going outside leaving Cynthia to finish of her sandwich by her lonesome.
Once she finished she muttered to herself "Well now is as good as time to start" After that she went outside to round up her Pokemon and head off. "Garchomp let's head to Kanto to see what we can catch" Cynthia said as Garchomp sped off to Kanto.
Once they got there they touched down in a wilderness and looked around to see nothing but trees and a lake. "Well here is as good as any" Cynthia said to herself but she heard a rustle behind her and saw a Sandshrew. "Well Sandshrew as good as any Pokemon, Garchomp Stone-Edge" Cynthia said a Stone floated around Garchomp and shot out towards the Sandshrew who had little time to react and was hit.
Even though it wasn't very effective it still looked like it did a decent amount of damage. "Good now Brick Break" Cynthia said as Garchomp ran at Sandshrew with her fist glowing white and swung at the Sandshrew who just used dig to dodge.
"Use Flamethrower on the ground" Cynthia said as the Pokemon obeyed and Sandshrew soon shot out of the ground looking hot and bothered and used Earthquake to shake things up. (No pun intended) "Go Pokeball" Cynthia yelled as she tossed a red and white ball at the Sandshrew who was absorbed into the Pokeball in a red flash of light.
The Pokeball shook over and over until it stopped and the Sandshrew appeared to be caught. "Great Garchomp now let's go catch about 6 to 7 Pokemon a Region then go and train" Cynthia said. "GRAAAAAA" and Garchomp who seemed to agree with her mindset.
"Good now let's get going to find more Pokemon" Cynthia said as she walked further into the woods with Garchomp trailing her as she caught many new Pokemon and did the same with Johto, Honen, Sinnoh and Unova.
Later that day (thought I was going to see Cynthia's Pokemon well you'll have to wait)
On the way back to the island after catching many Pokemon that day it was still about 3:00 in the afternoon leaving them at least 7 to 8 hours training. Once she landed and went inside the house to get a drink she noticed everyone gathered in the living room with everyone but Ash sitting down.
"Well look who finally arrived" Ash said a smile curling onto his lips. "What's going on" Cynthia asked curiously. "No one knows, well other than Ash" Reggie said also curious. "Well I've got each and everyone one of you presents" Ash said shocking them all.
"What kind of presents" Percy asked somewhat scared. "Well I got all of you a Pokemon each" Ash said still smiling holding 4 Pokeballs in his hands. "Let's go outside" Ash suggested and they went outside. "Okay then Ash let's see these Pokemon" Percy said. "Okay then here you go but release all of them at the same time" Ash said as they all nodded.
"What's to bet they are all Magikar-" Percy began but was cut off as they all released there and all their jaws dropped. "Ash did you, how, what, can, who, why, who, how" Percy stumbled over his own words. "Being The Chosen One has its perk's after all" Ash said smirking.
"Thanks Ash" Paul said being the first to recover who went to his Pokemon which was a Cobalion. "How did you get these" Cynthia asked being the next to recover moving to Virizion. "Well like I said I have many favor's to call in and it really wasn't that hard when you come up against Mewtwo" Ash said it like it was nothing.
"YOU HAVE MEWTWO" Everyone other than Delia and, of course, Paul screamed. "Yeah, me and Mewtwo go way back don't we" Ash said smiling as he teleported into the clearing. "Anyway Percy I see you like Terrakion" Ash said somewhat sweat-dropping as Percy and Terrakion were hitting it of as old mates at a bar and Percy just shrugged.
"Now Reggie I see you like your little green friend" Ash said smiling as Reggie and Celebi hit it off like two peas in a pod. "Yeah he's going to be great in the tournament" Reggie said smirking. "Thanks for reminding me I saw Scott today and hey said to give you all these letters and mom don't think I forgot you" Ash said pulling out a Pokemon egg from his bag and handing it to her.
"Oh thank you Ashy" Delia said pulling him into a hug. "Oh and also this" Ash said throwing a Pokeball into the air and to complete the Swords of Justice team, Keldeo appeared. "Also I'm going to train with my Pokemon see you later and close your mouth unless you want to look like a Magikarp" Ash said running off with Keldeo running behind him and Mewtwo floating behind him.
Paul was the first to recover who walked off to train with his Pokemon, soon followed by Reggie then Cynthia and lastly Percy. But Cynthia didn't walk off to train by her lonesome, no she went to find Ash. After about 5 minutes of searching she found Ash near the base of the volcano with all of his Pokemon and many she hasn't seen before.
"Hey Ash want a training partner" Cynthia said trying to catch Ash off guard but failed epically. "I sensed your Aura, and sure" Ash said smiling with his eyes closed. "Great my Gible could train with your Garchomp, Riolu, Kirlia and Lucario, my Eevee's and your Glaceon and that's that Infernape and Buizel you're with me" Ash said smirking while walking towards Cynthia.
"Okay if you're going to be around me I'll have to train in self-defense because I've got a habit of attracting danger" Ash said as Cynthia nodded. "But what about the others" Cynthia asked. "Well I know Percy knows self-defense since he took lesson's, something tells me Paul will try to kick my ass if I even say I'll teach him this stuff and Reggie is, well he's Reggie" Ash summarized.
"Okay then let's get started" Cynthia said taking off her coat. "Alright then just match the moves that Infernape does and you, me and Buizel match it" Ash said getting pumped. "Okay then let's go" Cynthia said as Ash gestured to Infernape to start the training.
2 Hours Later
"Let's take a break, shall we" Ash said stopping as the 2 Pokemon and 2 People looked exhausted. "Rest up well be back later tell everyone I said this" Ash said as Infernape took off telling all the other Pokemon to take a break.
"Hey Ash where is Pikachu and all your other Pokemon" Cynthia asked Ash. "Training with my Legendary Pokemon, you know I could send your Pokemon that way and I'll have a one on one session with you" Ash said as Cynthia blushed slightly.
"Okay thanks Ash, well we should get going I'm pretty sure Dinner will be ready soon" Cynthia said as they mansion came into view. "Hey I just got a great idea" Ash said out of nowhere. "Arceus help us" Cynthia said laughing.
"You're mean but anyway why don't we see what the other guys want to do and collaborate our training session's" Ash said to Cynthia. "Sounds pretty good but then again I doubt Paul would say yes" Cynthia said chuckling. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind working with a few Legendary Pokemon" Ash said chuckling.
"You've got a point now let's hurry and get inside so we can ask them" Cynthia said smiling as they entered the dining room to see everyone just preparing the table a bit. "Hey guys need a hand" Ash asked everyone. "Nah we're good go grab a seat" Reggie said as Ash and Cynthia complied.
Once everyone was sitting down eating at the table Ash and Cynthia decided to spring the question upon them. "Hey guys why don't we combine our training session together till the tournament" Cynthia asked as all eyes were on her.
"Sounds like a good Idea" Reggie said as Percy nodded in agreement. "Sure" Paul said shocking everyone. "Wow didn't even have to pull out the secret weapon" Ash said out loud. "And what would that be" Percy asked. "I've got more than 2 Legendary Pokemon" Ash said once again shocking everyone.
"Also while I got all your attention I need all of you to get something formal to wear" Ash said smiling as he received an onslaught of curious looks. "We're going to a ball" Ash said as all the boy's groaned. "Not that kind of ball you numbskulls I'm getting knighted as an Aura Guardian" Ash said as the boys looked more cheerful, well except for Paul.
"Sounds much better than what I thought it was going to be" Percy said chuckling. "Yeah when is it exactly" Reggie asked Ash. "12 Days from now, so not this Friday coming but next" Ash said as Paul suddenly had a malicious smirk.
"Shut it Paul" Ash said suddenly. "What" Paul said chuckling with the same look on his face. "What's going on between you two" Reggie asked. "Inside joke slash deal sorta thing" Ash answered. "Okay well then do you want to get to training then" Ash asked everyone. "You go ahead I'll be out soon" Cynthia said as all of them answered in the same sort of response but with all different excuses.
After waiting for about 10 minutes Ash started to get a but restless and decided to head in to see what was taking all of them so long but got shocked since all the lights were off. He walked into the living room and flicked on the light to get the shock of his life.
"SURPRISE" Everyone yelled, there was a birthday cake that said Happy 18th Birthday Ash and had packets of chips, chocolates and other sorts of junk food. "SHITTT" Ash yelled since he just had the living daylights scared out of him.
"Ash language" his mother scolded him stepping out from behind the chair. "What's going on" Ash asked everyone. "Silly, it was your birthday last week and you have already forgotten" Cynthia said as realization came across his face.
"Oh yeah so what are we going to do" Ash asked getting excited. "What you usually do, pull an all nighter doing stupid shit and watch some movies, oh and play Beer Pong" Percy answered as Delia left going to bed because she was tired even though it was only about 8 pm.
"Great knick knocking, house egging, and tons of other stuff" Ash said getting excited, "And what movies did you bring" "I got Comedy and Horror, The Conjuring, Paranormal 1 to 4, Road Trip and Road Trip Beer Pong" Percy said chucking him the box set's as Ash sat down. "Great, Comedy last, Horror first as usual" Ash said as Percy nodded.
Once they all sat down it was Paul, Percy and Reggie on the 3, 3 person couches and Ash and Cynthia were lying on the ground next to each other watching the last paranormal activity movie. Once they got to the middle of it Cynthia jumped since she was scared and grabbed hold of Ash and she didn't even realize until about 5 minutes later so she just scooted over towards Ash in her sleeping bag and just lied down closer to him so she could feel his body heat.
"You know if you're scared you can just say so" Ash said putting an arm around her pulling her closer to him as she rested her head on his shoulder. Once the movie finished Ash and Cynthia heard a CLICK noise and turned to see Paul and Percy taking photos on their phones.
"I give up, you guys are impossible now want to go egg some house" Ash said getting up taking Cynthia up with him just then realizing that he was only about 2 centimeters shorter than her. "Sounds good" Paul said smirking. "Grab a pillow case and grab any shit you want - that is replaceable" Ash said this knowing Percy would have grabbed a vase.
"Fine" Percy huffed as they all met back there in 5 minutes and had things like eggs, toilet paper, water bombs, fake blood, even logs and Paul came back with a Golf Club – who knows where he got it from - and Golf Balls and also 5 masks and gloves.
"Take these" Paul said handing out the masks and gloves to everyone. Once they were all on and ready they all chose their most fastest and stealthy mode of transport. Ash and Cynthia were on Pidgeot since a Garchomp would have easily stood out in the night sky. Percy on Dragonite since they were going to Kanto and Paul and Reggie riding on Ash's Charizard. "Let's go" Ash said silently as they landed in Pewter City.
"Hey chuck us a stink bomb" Ash said as Paul threw a stink bomb to him. "I didn't mean it literally" Ash whispered juggling the stink bomb until he caught it. "You're the one who said it" Paul shrugged as Ash threw it into the Pewter City Gym. (Paybacks a Bitch)
"Nice shot, now to Cerulean" Ash said after about 5 minutes of stink bombing the town and flew over to the city. "What to use, Nine Iron or Wedge" Ash said looking over the golf clubs. "Opinion" "Nine Iron" Percy said smirking as they lined up outside the Cerulean City Gym.
Ash hit the ball and then yelled "FORE" and then ran back to Pidgeot and flew over to Honen to Petalburg City. "Sticky Notes" Ash said as he covered the whole Petalburg Gym in sticky notes. For the next hour or so Ash and his friends pulled pranks on anyone who betrayed him and any random person.
But by far the worst one of all was Ash buying Oreo's and putting toothpaste inside the Oreo's and placing them outside Trip's house in Glad Wrap. "Ash by all the things you've done tonight that is just plain old evil" Percy said looking scared.
"I know but hey, paybacks a bitch" Ash replied shrugging his shoulders. "Well now that we've done this why don't we go play some Beer Pong" Reggie questioned everyone as they all agreed in some shape, way or form.
Once they arrived back to the island they setup the game and the teams were Ash and Cynthia against Paul and Percy while Reggie refereed the match. It was first to 3 wins but both had two each and both sides were on their last cup with it currently being Percy's shot and they weren't playing with blocks.
"Come on just drain this one cup and I've got this" Percy said to himself as he shot the ball into the air but hit the edge of the plastic and bounced off. "Shit" Percy cursed under his breath as he missed the shot while Ash drained it winning them the game. While Percy was skulling the tequila as and Cynthia were celebrating.
"Nice game, movies" Ash said after celebrating as they all nodded and went back to their original spots and put on Road Trip and about half way through the movie Reggie fell asleep so they got permanent markers and drew on his face.
Then it was Paul and Percy and they followed the same fate as Reggie, which just left Cynthia and Ash and they just kept talking about random things until they both drifted off into sleep at the same time.
Late Morning
Ash's eyes fluttered open, and he looked around and for once he was the first one up – of course not counting his mum – and Ash was about to get up when he felt an unknown weight on his chest and arm and looked down to see Cynthia with her head on his chest and his arm around her shoulders.
Ash being unable to get up just sat there enjoying the feeling of holding Cynthia close and just stayed like that for a while unsure of the time since he couldn't get up. "Morning Cynthia" Ash said still holding her close.
"How could you tell I was up" Cynthia said eyes still closed. "Your breathing changed" Ash replied still holding her until yet again they heard a click noise and saw Percy and Paul taking photos. "Get rid of the noise" Paul said grumpily. "Sorry phone's fucked up" Percy replied looking at each other as they both started laughing, well Paul chuckled anyway.
"Face" they both said at the same time and left to clean up and the ruckus woke Reggie up, who went to have a shower leaving the two lying down alone until two decided it was time to get up – mind you it was a good 2 hours later which was about 1 in the afternoon.
"Hey guys come check the news report" Ash yelled calling everyone into the room to see what the fuss was. "Have a look at this" Ash said while everyone else sat down and focused on the TV.
"And there is also damage to the Cerulean Gym as well as many other gyms like Petalburg which was covered in sticky notes and Striaton Gym which was covered in eggs as well-" The news reporter said as Ash offed the TV and saw everyone smiling at the job they've done.
"Well I'm grabbing a bite to eat I'd recommend doing the same if we are going to train together" Ash said getting up and walking into the kitchen and eating a few sandwiches making sure to leave food for the others who were about 10 seconds after him.
"Okay well then I'm going to need you to send all your Pokemon other than your fighting type's or Agile bipedal Pokemon over to the other side if the Island" Ash said once they were all outside. Once that was done the remaining Pokemon were Paul's Electrivire, Aggron, Ursaring, Weavile, Scizor, Machamp, Alakazam and Magmortar.
Percy had Feraligator – his starter – Sandslash, Marowak, Excadrill, Rhydon, Golem, Golurk, Swampert, Poliwrath, Politoed, Floatzel, Kabutops, Piplup, Sneasel and Wartortle.
Reggie had an Ampharos, Granbull, Blaziken, Zangoose, Empoleon, Abomasnow, Krookodile and Golduck. Cynthia had Roserade, Lucario and Garchomp choosing to send all her newly caught Pokemon to the other side of the island to train.
Ash on the other hand had Pikachu, Primeape, Heracross, Totodile, Sceptile, Infernape, Buizel, Oshawott, Pignite, Krookodile, Scraggy, Leavanny, Larvitar, Riolu and Kirlia training. Infernape took the lead teaching them all to defend and attack using MMA.
After about 3 hours of the MMA they decided to stop for the day and decided that tomorrow they would train with their Pokemon as a group and decided the day after Rota they would have a mini tournament with each other.
Percy ended up being ref by bad luck missing out but they would do that and rotate and stopping 2 days before the tournament to leave for the Alpha Region to Diablo Island but of course they've got to get past the night in Rota first. (Not going to time skip to then for now)
"Sounds pretty good but I'm still going to have to train all of you guys eventually because well, I'll probably attract some weird gay team that is all focused on money and fashion in Kalos" Ash said jokingly.
"Yeah probably" Cynthia said giving a half smile. "Well anyway I'm going to be on the other side of the island if anyone want's me" Ash said before walking over to the other side of the island with his Pokemon as his entourage.
Once he arrived there he only found his Pokemon there assuming that all the other Pokemon went off to do their own thing after the training. Ash just sat there talking to all his Pokemon, new and old. "Anyway, we have a lot of stuff to do before the tournament, so who's with me" Ash said as he received many loud roars.
"Anyway I need to train with the Eevee's and some other things now you can do whatever you want and also when I return well be having a race" Ash said walking off with the Eevee's trailing him into the forest.
"I need three of you to step forward" Ash said as three of them did and Ash held out three stones. "Take a stone" Ash said as the Eevee's discussed what stone they were going to take and once they did they all touched the stone.
Then Flareon, Jolteon and Vaporeon appeared. "Good now I need 3 more to accompany me with Charizard to Sinnoh now" Ash said as two more of them stepped forward. "Good now let's go to Sinnoh" Ash said as they returned to the other Pokemon.
"Charizard we need a lift to Sinnoh, Eterna City first" Ash said as Charizard bent down and Ash and the Eevee's got on, leaving Pikachu behind seeing no need to take him. "So grass or ice" Ash asked the Pokemon as they began to chat.
"Eevee vee" Eevee one said. "Vee Eevee" said Eevee two said and it went on for about 20 seconds until they decided that Eevee one was Grass and two was ice. "Okay great, now let's get going" Ash said as they landed on the border of Eterna city and headed into the forest west of the city.
"Okay then let's find the moss rock" Ash said as they started walking around the forest until they saw a decent sized-rock that was covered in moss. "Touch it" Ash said as the Eevee happily complied and then evolved into Leafeon. "Well done Leafeon now to Snowpoint City" Ash said as they mounted Charizard who flew to Snowpoint city with no trouble despite the blizzard.
"Good work Charizard now to the cave" Ash said faking bravado as they walked into the cave to see a rock the same as the moss rock but covered in Ice. "Okay now Eevee touch it" Ash said but Eevee was way ahead of him and had already touched it and became Glaceon.
"Okay well let's get goi- Woah" Ash began until he saw an angry Medicham and shot a Focus Blast at them but the Pokemon jumped out of the way but hit Ash. "Eevee it's your time to shine" Ash said as he looked angry being hit by a Focus Blast.
"Eevee" Eevee said as it jumped in front of Ash looking determined to beat Medicham. "Okay Eevee use Quick Attack" Ash said as Eevee ran towards Medicham leaving a white trail behind him and hit Medicham but it looked like it did little to no damage.
"Ugh, try Bite" Ash commanded as Eevee yet again took off towards Medicham and bit it on the head this time doing noticeable damage. "Well done now Dodge the Fire Punch" Ash yelled as Eevee tried to jump away but was hit with the Fire Punch and collided with an icicle.
"Are you okay Eevee" Ash asked the evolution Pokemon as it got up and nodded in response. "Good now use Shadow Ball" Ash said but was cut off as Focus Blast him Eevee and this time struggled to get up. "Eevee are you hurt" Ash asked getting worried as the Pokemon on the sideline started to get anxious and started to cheer.
"Eevee" Eevee said slowly and quietly "Eevee" Eevee said louder. "EEVEE" Eevee yelled and started to glow a light blue and emerged a Pokemon no one knew. It was a pale cream-colored fur with pinkish feet, ears, and tail. "Sylveon" said the Pokemon. "So I guess you're a Sylveon eh, I'll ask Professor Rowan later" Ash said to himself.
"Let's use attract Sylveon" Ash said as hearts appeared around Sylveon and flew towards Medicham surrounding her and went into Medicham's body. "Great now go Pokeball" Ash said as he threw a Pokeball at Medicham and went inside the ball and the ball landed on the ground.
The ball shook once, twice, three times and then stopped. Medicham was caught. "Awesome" Ash said as he picked up the Pokeball and met Charizard outside looking suspiciously at Sylveon. "Don't worry Charizard, Sylveon's with me" Ash said as Charizard calmed down and they flew to Sandgem Town and landed outside Professor Rowan's lab.
"Hey Professor Rowan open up, it's urgent" Ash yelled through the door banging on it until Professor Rowan showed up. "What is it Ash" Professor Rowan said annoyed by the boy's rude appearance. "Uh, you might want to take a look at this" Ash said gesturing to Sylveon and the Professor's eye's opened so wide that you could compare them to the size of plates.
"No way is that a Sylveon" Professor Rowan said picking up the Pokemon. "Yes, now tell, me Eevee and I were battling a Medicham and evolved into a Sylveon why did this happen" Ash said throwing Medicham's Pokeball and catching.
"Well Eevee only evolve into Sylveon if they really care for their trainers but I thought it was just a legend" Professor Rowan said as they all went inside the lab and Rowan stated doing test's on Sylveon. "You know that is the first real one to date. No one else on this planet owns a Sylveon, also Sylveon is a fairy type and no other Pokemon discovered is yet to be known as a fairy type so you also have the only fairy type Pokemon in existence" Professor Rowan said as this time it was Ash's turn to go wide-eyed.
"Great well I'll just have to take extra care of Sylveon then, won't I" Ash said as Sylveon started nuzzling his head. "Ash I'm going to say this for your own good do not, and I mean do not let anyone in the world get ahold of Sylveon especially someone like Team Rocket, okay" Rowan said as Ash nodded.
"No problem Professor I'll be on my way" Ash said as Rowan already had all the other Professor in the line and telling them about Sylveon. "Well then let's get going I'm starved" Ash said as he mounted Charizard and they took off towards their home.
"Good now go play and have fun but be careful Sylveon" Ash said as the Pokemon ran to the other Pokemon and started playing. "Now anyone who is up for the race come here" Ash said as all the Pokemon stepped.
"Good now I want all of the Pokemon that can fly, to fly too Pummelo Island and fly back, any who can swim there swim and anyone else run up the island's volcano then down the other side onto the beach then run along it too here" Ash said as all the Pokemon lined up ready to race.
"3, 2, 1, GO" Ash yelled as the Pokemon took off in different directions. After about 5 minutes Sceptile and Pikachu finished the races on land first, Lapras finished the one in the ocean first and Pidgeot won the flying race and within another five minutes all the other Pokemon finished.
"Good work everyone now you can rest night guys, let's go buddy" Ash said as Pikachu jumped on his shoulder and they walked off into the forest and back to the house. Once they got there they ate there food then went to watch TV with everyone else other than Delia, who was cleaning the house as usual, and Reggie, who was checking Delia's egg.
"Hey" Ash said flopping down onto a seat and lying down with Pikachu sprawled over his stomach. "Hey" everyone chimed. "What's on" Ash asked. "Nothing" Percy replied. "So where did you go" Cynthia asked.
"Well you might not believe me but I evolved some of my Eevee's into Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Leafeon and Glaceon then after that I caught a Medicham, and what else, oh, I know own a Sylveon which is a fairy type and the only one in existence is with me" Ash said smiling about what happened.
"Well that's good to… wait a second, only one in existence, with you" Percy began but was hit with realization. "Legend has it that Eevee will only evolve into Sylveon if the trainer and Pokemon are in perfect harmony and the Eevee would do anything for the trainer, even sacrifice itself" Cynthia said remembering a book she read.
"Also I must protect Sylveon from people like Team Rocket" Ash added. "That as well" Cynthia said. "Okay so now that you know that do not tell anyone about it, since I'm going to use it in the tournament as my secret weapon" Ash said smiling.
"Good idea for once, night" Paul said as he got up leaving the others in the lounge. "Well I'm heading off too" Percy said before yawning as the other two nodded. "Okay so what's going on in Rota" Cynthia asked Ash.
"Well the plan is go there dance a bit I get knighted by Queen Ilene and a few other stuff happens but that's the basics of it" Ash said. "Do you even know how to dance" Cynthia asked him as he shook his head.
"Now that you mention it, I have no clue whatsoever" Ash said as Cynthia sighed. "Okay let's move this stuff out of the way and I'll show you" Cynthia said getting and lifting one side of the table and Ash doing the same on the other side.
"How do you even know this stuff" Ash asked. "I took dance lessons as a kid" Cynthia said scrolling through her IPod and found a song and placed it on the radio dock and started to play it. "Place your right arm on my back and your left arm linked up with my right" Cynthia said as Ash followed the instructions and started to move to the beat.
"1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3," Cynthia counted as she and Ash danced and he picked it up quite fast and began to lead. Towards the end of the song they both realized how close they were to each other and began to lean in. Closer. Closer, until they were just an inch apart.
Then the music started to play Can't Hold Us and scared the shit out of them and they both jumped back and then they saw Pikachu video recording it with one of those really expensive camera's they use for TV.
"Good work" Cynthia said going to the kitchen to take a drink. "You too, I'm going for a walk" Ash said before he started walking to the door but stopped abruptly as Cynthia started talking "Can I come as well" "Sure" Ash replied as they both went outside and walked a couple hundred meters to the beach and walked along the shoreline.
After about half a kilometer they decided to stop and sit down at the beach. "So how do you think you're going to fair in the tournament" Ash asked Cynthia. "Pretty good, from what I hear the Gym Leaders, Elite 4, Champions and Battle Frontier Brains have to compete" Cynthia said regretting it instantly.
"Good time for some payback" Ash said as Cynthia looked at him. "You do know revenge isn't always the key" Cynthia said wisely. "I know but this is the right time for revenge and I've got it all planned out" Ash said. "Your cold" Ash said suddenly. "Na I'm fine don't worry" Cynthia replied.
"Here take my jacket" Ash said taking off his jacket and handing it to Cynthia. "No keep it I'll live" Cynthia said. "No you take it or else" Ash said. "Or else what" Cynthia said hoping to get off topic. "I'll let your mind wonder but take the damn jacket" Ash said putting on her shoulders.
"Fine but have you ever thought about ever becoming a politician, I mean you are very persistent" Cynthia said smiling. "If Pokemon fails, I'll look into it" Ash said chuckling but he started shivering. "Now your cold" Cynthia said.
"Yeah so I'd rather be cold than let you be cold, it's my code of honor" Ash said faking bravado. "Fine then Sir Ketchum, well share" Cynthia said playing along with the joke. "Okay" Ash said succumbing to Cynthia as he moved closer to her and they both went into the jacket both blushing by the closeness of the other
"Are you happy" Ash asked suddenly. "Of course I'm happy" Cynthia said shocked at what he said. "Good because I don't want you to feel complied to live with me" Ash said looking down at the sand. "I never felt that because you always know how to spruce up my day" Cynthia said as they both lied down in the sand.
"Is it my handsome looks, my awesome personality or my epicness" Ash said jokingly. "I'd have to say all of the above" Cynthia said smiling but not joking. "So are you happy" Cynthia asked Ash. "As happy as I've ever been" Ash started "I've got my mum and Mimey living here cleaning, we own an island, we've got Reggie as a breeder, Paul as my Rival, Percy as my childhood friend and the most wonderful girl in the world by my side" Ash said smiling even though he was blushing by the last part.
"Nice joke Ash" Cynthia said blushing red as a strawberry. "Who ever said I was joking" Ash said suddenly looking into her eyes. "No one" Cynthia said as they both pulled away looking at the stars and silence overcame them.
Soon they were both asleep on the beach until Ash awoke feeling something on his foot and saw the tide had come in. "Ahhhhh, Cynthia wake up the tides coming in" Ash yawned while shaking Cynthia trying to wake her up and succeeded. "Huh what's going on" Cynthia asked before yawning.
"Tide" Ash said gesturing to the ocean that had crept up on them. "Okay I think it's time we head back to the house" Cynthia said getting up and miraculously they both still had the jacket on. They waked back in silence. Once they got to the house they went inside and Cynthia took a drink of water.
"I'm off to bed I'll see you in the morning" Cynthia said as she climbed the stairs. "Me too" Ash said going up the stairs taking two at a time. Once they got to the top of the staircase Ash and Cynthia gave each other a quick hug then went to their respective rooms.
Once he got to his room he collapsed onto his bed and started to think about everything that happened. The Dance. The Stroll. The almost Kiss. But one thing was for sure.
"I'm in love with Cynthia" Ash whispered before drifting off into a dream filled sleep.
Time Skip to Day before Rota
Since Kirlia was more comfortable with the other Pokemon, Ash, Riolu, Pikachu and Charizard were tying up a few loose ends, so in other words, Riolu was training at the summit of Mt Coronet. "Good Riolu Aura Sphere" Ash said as Riolu dodged the Thunderbolt from Pikachu and shot off an Aura Sphere almost making contact. Almost.
"That's enough of that, well take a break then after that well head home and have a practice battle with Percy for some fun" Ash said chuckling as they got back on Charizard and flew back to the island. Once they got there and challenged Percy to a battle, well he just couldn't say no.
"What do you say to a double battle" Percy suggested as Ash contemplated it. "Sounds like a good idea so Riolu, Kirlia you up for it" Ash asked the Pokemon next to him. "Yes/Yes Master" Kirlia and Riolu said. "Riolu don't call me master" Ash sighed.
"Yes Master" Riolu replied smiling as Ash sighed. "Anyway let's just battle" Percy said as he released two Pokemon. Dugtrio and Marowak. "Alright then give me your best shot" Ash said gesturing him to attack. "Dugtrio use Night Slash on Kirlia, Marowak use Flamethrower on Riolu" Percy commanded.
"Okay Kirlia use Psychic on the Flamethrower and send it into Dugtrio" Ash said as the Kirlia did just that. "Good, now use Aura Sphere on Marowak, Riolu" Ash said as Riolu dispelled a ball of Aura at Marowak. "Deflect it with Bone Club" Percy commanded and sent it flying harmlessly away off to the sideline.
"Well done Marowak now use Bone Rush" Percy said as Marowak extended the Bone in his hand (NOT LIKE THAT) and ran at Riolu. "Show them a real Bone Rush, Riolu" Ash said as Riolu began to do the same thing as Marowak and they had a bone fight leaving it be Kirlia and Dugtrio in a one on one battle.
"Alright Kirlia use Magical Leaf" Ash said as Kirlia made purple glowing leafs appear and sent them shooting at Dugtrio who was hit by them. "Take this Dugtrio use Sucker Punch" Percy said as Dugtrio dug it's way underground and hit Kirlia from directly under her doing a lot of damage to her which left struggling to get up.
"Dugtrio finish this off with…huh" Percy began but was cut off as Riolu started glowing blue and evolved into Lucario. "Great now Lucario send Marowak into Dugtrio into with Force Palm" Ash said excitedly as Marowak was sent crashing into Dugtrio.
"Ash, I concede" Percy said hanging his head in defeat. "Okay then" Ash said as both trainers went to check on their Pokemon. After that Ash decided that he needed some time to think about things so he went off with Pidgeot and Pikachu and decided to go for a fly to Honen.
Once they got there they decided to go for a walk through the cave of origin where he just happened to see Gary and Dawn. "Pikachu is that really them" Ash asked the yellow Pokemon who nodded who just happened to hear and turned around.
"Ash, is that really you, please tell me that's you" Dawn said running up and throwing herself onto Ash giving him a hug. "WHAT DO YOU WANT" Ash yelled as Dawn quickly backed away. "Look Ash were sorry about what happened" Gary quickly said as Ash looked unamused. "Start explaining then, or you're going to see how much stronger Pikachu has got" Ash demanded.
"Ash we're sorry but they made us" Dawn began with tears in her eyes. "They threatened my mum and Professor Oak of if we didn't say those stuff" Dawn said with tears flowing down her face. "Ash, she's not lying" Gary said sincerely. "I know" Ash said. "Ash please forgive us – wait what do you mean you know" Gary said shocked.
"It's an aura thing now" Ash replied losing his anger. "Ash, we are sorry but would you forgive us" Gary pleaded. "Okay but you'll have to prove it" Ash said. "Okay I've still got my half of the Pokeball" Gary said pulling it out of his bag.
"Okay that proves it but next time tell me if something like that will happen and I'll whoop there asses to the moon" Ash said smiling. "So anyway how about a little battle, for old time sake" Gary said with a sad smile. "Okay then follow me" Ash said as he got on Pidgeot.
"So Ashy boy is that you're old Pidgeot" Gary said as he climbed on Skarmory and Dawn climbed on his Fearow. "Pidgeot?" Dawn questioned them. "Oh, I never told you about Pidgeot" Ash said as Pidgeot faked looking hurt and flew upside and shook him off for a few seconds before getting him from mid-air.
"Something tells me that's not the first time that's not the first time it's happened" Dawn muttered under her breath. "Yeah anyway what's the deal with Pidgeot" Dawn asked again. "Second Pokemon I ever caught and it was with a Caterpie" Ash said chuckling. "Only you Ash" Dawn muttered. "Yeah but then I had to release him to look after a flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto from a flock of Fearow and Spearow" Ash said.
"So anyway where are we going" Gary asked as Ash smiled an unnoticeable smile. "You'll see" Ash said softly.
"Welcome to Casa de Ketchum" Ash said as the other two looked in awe and envy "also my island" Ash added as their mouths just dropped and eyes widened even more. "Okay so who lives here" Gary asked after getting over the initial shock of the place.
"Oh just me, mum, Cynthia, Percy, Paul, Reggie and a lot of Pokemon including several legendries" Ash said as they both fainted. After about 10 seconds they came around and just stared at Ash. "What" Ash asked. "This place is fucking awesome" Gary yelled, "Oh and did you say good ole Percy is here as well" Gary said smiling.
"AND PAUL LIVES HERE" Dawn yelled. "Yeah so what's so wrong about that" Ash said smiling. "Well the fact that he's rude to his Pokemon" Dawn replied in a huff. "He's changed, give him a chance before you judge him and also do not and I mean DO NOT bring up Cynthia's title match loss" Ash said.
"Fine" Dawn said in a huff. "You're on then after this you and me a full 3 on 3 battle" Gary said cockily. "Time to shut down your ego" Ash said smiling.
"Please my ego's way too big for that to happen" Gary said chuckling. "Well see" Ash said smiling. "Well anyway let's go ask everyone" Ash said walking in as Gary and Dawn looked slightly nervous. "Calm down, once I explain they'll understand" Ash said as the others walked in behind him.
"Hey As- Hey man what are they doing here" Percy said jumping up to deck Gary. "Percy calm the fuck down and I'll explain" Ash said deadly serious as everyone was looking at them in hatred except Paul who was just sipping a coffee smiling amused "Shit just got interesting" Paul said smiling.
Once Ash explained there story and how he forgave them the others had as well. "Okay so Ash what do you say to our battle now" Gary said excitedly. "Okay" Ash said walking outside of the house as everyone followed. Once they prepared they decided it would be on the Lake which had several platforms on it.
"Call out your first Pokemon" Reggie said who was refereeing the match. "Quilava, I choose you" Ash said throwing a Pokeball and Quilava appeared as Gary looked slightly unsettled. "Go Electrivire" Gary said sending out his trusty electric type Pokemon.
"Begin" Reggie said as both trainers. "Flamethrower/Thunderbolt" the trainers yelled as both Pokemon fired of their attacks and made contact none of them budging. "There evenly matched" Dawn stated as Cynthia smiled "Think again"
As soon as Cynthia said this Quilava's flamethrower started gaining ground on the Thunderbolt until it made contact and did a significant amount of damage. "Well done Quilava" Ash said as Quilava jumped back on the platform in front of Ash as Electrivire managed to pull itself out of the water.
"Not bad Ash, Electrivire use Thunderpunch" Gary commanded as Electrivire ran at Quilava fist glowing and crackling with electricity. "Smokescreen then Agility into Quick Attack" Ash said as Quilava dispersed smoke and Electrivire couldn't see and was suddenly hit by Quilava from behind by a powerful quick attack that knocked Electrivire out.
"Ash and Quilava win" Reggie announced. "Quilava return I might need you later" Ash said recalling the Fire type Pokemon. "Go Umbreon" Gary said throwing a Pokeball and Umbreon appeared. "Pikachu I choose you" Ash said as Pikachu jumped off his shoulder and onto the platform.
"Pikachu use Thunderbolt" Ash said as Pikachu shot of a bolt of electricity at Umbreon. "Shadow Ball" Gary commanded as Umbreon fired a shadow ball at Pikachu's Thunderbolt making contact and ended with an explosion.
"Quick Attack" Both trainers shouted as there Pokemon took off and kept ramming into each other over and over. "This is getting boring, finish it with Volt Tail" Ash said smiling. "Huh" everyone but Dawn said but all watched intently as Pikachu combined Volt Tackle and Iron Tail into one and knocked out Umbreon.
Once they both recalled their Pokemon Gary sent out Blastoise and Ash sent out, "Sylveon, I choose you" Ash said as Sylveon appeared on a platform. "No, no, no, no, no, no, YOU HAVE A SYLVEON" Gary yelled as the whole island shook.
"IT'S SO CUTE" Dawn yelled and would've run up to grab it if Percy didn't hold her back. "Don't even try" Percy said smiling. "Sylveon as in the Pokemon from legend as in fairy type destroyer of dragon type Sylveon as in only Sylveon if it would give its life for you Sylveon" Gary said going on and on about Sylveon.
"Are we going to battle or what" Ash said as Gary refocused. "Right, Blastoise use Hydro Pump" Gary said as Blastoise shot water from its jet's and aimed for Sylveon. "Dodge then use Moonblast" Ash commanded as Sylveon dodged the Hydro Pump and shot its attack right back at it making contact.
"Not bad but try this on for size, Skull Bash" Gary said as Blastoise flung itself at Sylveon covered in a white cloak. "Counter with Double Edge" Ash said as Sylveon copied Blastoise and met mid field and collided and caused an explosion of big magnitude.
Once the smoke cleared you could see both Pokemon were down. "Both Pokemon are down leaving Ash as the winner" Reggie announced and then took the Pokemon from the trainers and went to heal them. "Great battle Ash, you've gotten way better since our last one" Gary complimented Ash as they walked into the house to grab a drink.
"You too, I've heard you were invited to the tournament, so are you two going to compete" Ash asked the researcher and coordinator. "Yep/Of course" replied Dawn and Gary as they both smiled. "Good I could use some competition" Ash said smiling. "I'm guessing everyone else is as well" Dawn asked as Ash poured them all a glass of lemonade.
"Even Reggie" Ash said smiling knowing that Dawn would be shocked. "Also it is compulsory for all Gym Leaders, Elite 4, Champions and Frontier Brains to compete" Ash said knowing he'll be getting much unwanted attention.
"So it will be somewhat challenging" Cynthia said before taking a swig at her lemonade. "Good I look forward to whooping some ass" Dawn said before getting a few looks. "What" Dawn said. "Never thought I'd here the day when words like that came out of your mouth" Ash said smiling.
"Also did you hear about the damage to the gyms and stuff" Percy said smiling. "Yeah, whoever did it did a damn good job of it… wait a second that was you guys wasn't it" Gary began but changed course. "Well what else were we going to do for Ash's 18th birthday party other than get drunk and watch movies" Percy replied.
"Still the same old Percy" "Still the same old Gary" Percy came back with. "Touché" Gary said chuckling. "Anyway anything new" Gary asked Ash. "Same old same old, catching Pokemon, training Pokemon being an idiot" Ash said with a smile. "Oh and don't forget tomorrow" Paul said smirking. "Fuck up" Ash said slightly angry getting the ulterior motive of it.
"Oh well we've got a ball on tomorrow and you're welcome to come" Ash invited the duo. "Really a ball, that's a good one Ash" Gary said laughing. "I become an Aura guardian" Ash said as Gary stopped laughing. "I'm coming" Gary stated quickly.
"Thought so, now I'll leave you two to go shopping" Ash said walking away quickly leaving Gary to the torture. "SHOPPING LET'S GO, LET'S GO NOW" Dawn squealed. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Yelled Gary as he was dragged out of the house.
Later that Night
"Hey Ash" Paul said smiling. "Don't forget the deal" Paul whispered in his ear before heading off to bed leaving Ash to ponder in his own thoughts until Cynthia walked in with her night clothes on. "Hey" Cynthia said snapping Ash out of his thoughts. "Hey" Ash replied as they just watched the TV for a while until they heard a knock on the door and Ash got up to answer it.
"Ugh, hey Ash can I stay the night" Gary asked as he collapsed on the floor with Dawn behind him picking up all the bags of clothes that he dropped as Ash sighed. "I guess but no funny business" Ash said helping Gary up.
"Okay but can you show us to our rooms" Dawn said before walking in. "If I must" Ash sighed before showing them their rooms before going downstairs and sitting down next to Cynthia. "You ready for tomorrow" Cynthia asked him. "Hell no, I'm so fucking nervous" Ash said as he leaned into Cynthia.
"Relax, all you got to do is have a dance and sit on a chair looking pretty" Cynthia said smiling. "If only you knew the half of it" Ash said closing his eyes for a second. "I'm guessing it's something to do with your joke slash deal" Cynthia said sighing inwardly.
"Basically, except it's not going to be easy" Ash said. "What is it" Cynthia asked curiously. "You'll find out tomorrow, night" Ash said giving her a kiss on the head before going off to his room to sleep. "Arcues, help me tomorrow" Ash said before going to sleep.
Ash's eyes fluttered open as the sun peered through the curtains and onto his eyes. He looked around for Pikachu but couldn't see him, so he assumed he was up. He looked at the clock and it read 10:30 so he didn't sleep in too.
"Today's the day" Ash said to himself getting ready but not changing into his clothes yet since there would be plenty of time to do it later. Once that was done everyone but Dawn and Cynthia were there but you could already guess where they were.
"Today's the big day, huh Ash" Paul said smirking darkly. "Shut it or I'll deck you" Ash said sternly. "Yeah whatever but remember if you don't" Paul said cracking his knuckles "Well I'll just let your mind wonder for a bit now"
"What's this deal I've been hearing about" Gary asked taking a sip of his tea. "He tells Cynthia he loves her" Paul said smiling knowing that Gary would choke and spit out his tea. Which Happened. "HAHAHAHAHAH" Gary laughed. "He's not joking" Ash said deadly serious as Gary stopped laughing.
"Okay, good luck but when did you realize you were in love" Gary asked him. "I don't know just kind of hit me" Ash said smiling, thinking about all the times they shared. "What about the bitches" Gary asked thinking back to his days as a kid.
"There just that, Bitches" Ash said. "Good anyway how did you get over your denseness" Reggie asked. "I was never dense it was just an act this guy" Ash said pointing to Paul "figured it out" Ash finished. "Well I've got to head off to Rota to prepare and stuff see you later" Ash said but not before walking out.
Once he was outside he called over his Lucario, Pikachu, Pidgeot and Kirlia but to his surprise a Gardevoir came over. "Do I want to ask" Ash asked Gardevoir and Lucario. "No" was the response by both Lucario and Gardevoir.
"Okay well we got to head off to Rota so inside guys" Ash said holding out 2 Pokeballs and returned Gardevoir and Lucario. "Let's go Pikachu" Ash said, both of them jumping on top of Pidgeot who took off towards Rota in Kanto.
Once they arrived in Rota they met with Queen Ilene who showed Ash to his room in the castle since he would now be an Aura apprentice he would have one. After that he got a personal tour from the Queen through the castle.
After the Day of Preparing
The music began at 6:30 and people crowded onto the dance floor and began dancing. Ash even saw strangely enough, Paul and Dawn there dancing, definitely going ask Paul about that later. He had organized with the Queen to let him outside to talk to Cynthia at about 8.
Speak of the devil, she just appeared in a Diamond/Silver colored dress that reached down to her knees and was in a pair of high heels and the dress had no sleeves and she had little to no makeup on. She looked beautiful.
Cynthia walked up to Ash who was in the clothes of an Aura Guardian (8th movie) and gave him a quick hug. "Hey" Cynthia said while they were still hugging. "Hey, you look beautiful" Ash said pulling away from the hug and could see many people- both guys and girls- glaring at the two in envy.
"Thanks, you look pretty hot too" Cynthia said blushing beet red as Ash caught on with the blushing game. "Thanks, you know I would normally have to sit in this chair the whole time but seeing as I'm very convincing I'm allowed out of it at about 8" Ash said smiling.
"Good to know but don't you have to dance" Cynthia asked hopingly. "Yep but that's after I'm knighted" Ash said smiling. "Good to know my lessons weren't in vain" Cynthia said smiling. "Hey have you seen Lucario and Gardevoir" Ash asked suddenly.
"No and Gardevoir?" Questioned Cynthia. "Kirlia evolved, don't ask me how" Ash said scanning the crowd. "Over there with Percy talking" Cynthia said. "Hey can you get Lucario for me, I need him with me when I'm knighted" Ash asked Cynthia who nodded. "Be back in a sec, don't go anywhere" Cynthia said giving Ash a wink before walking off to get Lucario.
"Hey" a random girl said who jumped out of the crowd. "Hi" Ash said slowly, creeped out by her appearance. "Would you like to go on a date with me, my daddy is rich and I could pay you" the girl said smiling. "A little bit forward but no thanks I don't date sluts" Ash said prepared to get a slap but the girl just kept persisting.
"Please I'll pay you 5 million if you go on a date with me" the girl pleaded. "Eh hem" someone cleared there throat from behind them. Cynthia. "Lucario would you please dispose of her quickly" Ash said very fast. The next thing you see is the girl flying across the ballroom until she crashed into the punch landing headfirst in it. "You'll rue this day… whatever your name is" the girl muttered before walking out of the ballroom.
"Thank you Lucario she was really beginning to bug me" Ash said after he, Cynthia and Lucario stopped laughing at her flying across the room and everyone's face's. "Hey Cynthia mind coming out with me to the balcony I need a breather" Ash said getting and handing Lucario the staff. "Sure" Cynthia replied.
"Keep the seat warm and don't kill anyone" Ash said to Lucario who just smiled. "I'll try" Lucario said while spinning the staff on his finger as Ash just sighed. "Whatever be back soon" Ash said walking away with Cynthia to the balcony.
"It's beautiful out here" Cynthia said smiling looking over the balcony. "It sure is" Ash said but not looking over the balcony but at her. "Cynthia I need to tell you something" Ash began as he looked into Cynthia gray eyes.
"Here goes nothing" Ash muttered before he started speaking. "Cynthia you are the most beautiful person I have ever met, you have a great personality, you are a great Pokemon trainer, you have the best smile that could brighten up even my worst day, as long as you're happy then so am I, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love you Cynthia" Ash said but not before he finished he felt Cynthia's lips crash onto his as their lips moved in sync with one other, both of them in heaven but unfortunately, you have to breath.
"I love you too Ash, if you couldn't tell" Cynthia said taking a seat and pulling Ash down with her. They both just sat there looking over the balcony with Cynthia head resting on Ash's shoulder until Cynthia spoke up. "That was the deal wasn't it" Cynthia stated.
"Yes" Ash sighed. "Okay good to know" Cynthia said smiling. "Well as much as I'm enjoying this we might want to head inside" Ash said reluctantly. "I know" Cynthia said as they both got up but hands still intertwined.
Once they reentered the ballroom and Ash returned back to his seat, after about 5 minutes they started the knighting ceremony. "Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town, I we are hereby gathered here today of your knighting" Ilene began.
"Will you always defend a lady" asked Ilene. "Yes, my Queen" Ash answered as he was on one knee. "Will you always speak the truth and only the truth" Ilene asked. "Yes, my Queen" Ash answered again. "Will you always be charitable and defend the poor and helpless" Ilene asked again. "Yes, my Queen" Ash answered yet again.
It went on for a while until the Queen finished all the questions and Ash answered them all correctly. "Ash you have passed the test of Integrity, now I hereby dub you Aura Guardian, Sir Ash Ketchum" Queen Ilene said as she dubbed Ash with his staff.
"Thank you my queen but if I remember correctly I'm only an Aura Apprentice" Ash whispered to the Queen under the applause as the Queen just smiled. "You'll see" Ilene whispered back. "I also hereby present Sir Ash Ketchum's Trainer, Riley Gen" Ilene said gesturing to the door where Riley appeared much to Ash's surprise.
"Well if it isn't Ash" Riley said smiling as Ash grinned. "Yes, how are you" Ash said shaking Riley's hand. "Great what about you" Riley answered as he began a conversation with Ash until it got relatively late. "Hey Ash, were about to head off" Cynthia said slipping her hand into Ash's.
"Okay be with you in a sec" Ash answered her giving her a peck on the cheek before going back to talking with Riley. "So I won't be back until I'm requested by the queen so I won't need to train or anything" Ash said shell shocked. "Basically, so you really won't be called here unless it's an emergency but I'll checkup on you while you are in Kalos" Riley said as he gave Ash a handshake and Ash walked off.
Once they got home, Ash said goodnight to everyone then went straight to his bed and collapsed on it thinking. What a Great Day.
