Hi again. Sorry if this chapter sounds weird I got distracted by REDMASTEROFPOKEMON saying the dark type wasn't cool and wrote with anger :(. This was gonna be that sasuke chapter but I decided to focus on Drakaiser out of spite to him. No review responses today also because of that jerk. Sorry notabug, but thanks for the compliment :)

During his journeys in the Johto region, Ash, Misty, and Brock visited Cianwood City. While his friends were looking at some things, Ash spotted a mysterious figure over by the HGSS Safari zone looking at him. Ash walked up to him, noticing that the stranger was a guy with slightly long black hair and red eyes, wearing a black Fedora with a spot to place a feather accessory, a black trench coat, ripped Jinco Jeans, black converse sneakers, and carrying a black and red two-tone bag. Obviously, he was a trainer.

"We meet at last, Ash Ketchum." The trainer said.

"How do you know me?" Ash asked.

"I challenge you to battle!" the trainer demanded.

"Ok then. Here we go, Pikachu!" Ash replied as Pikachu was about to leap off his shoulder.

"I never said anything about battling your weak electric Rattata." The trainer said.

"Pika!" Pikachu yelled in anger as sparks emitted from his cheeks.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean!?" Ash demanded as he glared at the trainer.

"When I said battle, I wasn't referring to a full Pokemon battle. Rather, a one on one." The trainer said. "My Charizard… vs YOURS!"

Ash pulls out a Pokeball while still eyeing the trainer.

"Charizard, I choose you!" Ash shouted as he threw the Pokeball into the air.

It opened up, and Charizard appeared in a flash of light, wearing a harness with Charizardite X embedded in the center of it.

The trainer smirked as he pulled out a Dusk Ball and threw it. It opened up, and what appeared was a shiny Charizard, and it sparkled, along with a black Charizardite X in the center.

"A shiny Charizard?" Ash said as he and his Charizard were surprised to see it.

"Meet Drakaiser, my ultimate Charizard!" the trainer said as Drakaiser glared at Ash's Charizard and roared.

"Your ultimate Charizard, huh?" Ash replied. "I have to warn you though, my Charizard is as tough as nails!"

Charizard smirked and let loose a stream of fire from his mouth into the air.

"Weak." The trainer said calmly as he and Drakaiser had unimpressed looks on their faces.

"What did you say?" Ash said, stunned, and looking annoyed at the trainer.

His Charizard started to glare at both the trainer and Drakaiser.

"All I see is a weak trainer and a poorly trained Charizard." The trainer started, "As he evolved, he started to disobey you, and even when he did learn to obey you, you couldn't train him yourself anymore. Drakaiser on the other hand is an expertly trained Charizard. He has perfect stats and I perfected his training myself. Crushing your Charizard may be easy, but I have a reason for doing so."

"And what would that be?" Ash asked.

The trainer said "I may be a very strong trainer, but I mostly follow the footsteps of someone specialized in training Charizards, and three of his defeated three champions on their own. Jaller took down Red, Zero crushed Lance, and Hydualgon smashed Diantha. However, like his other Charizards, they have been overshadowed by yours, and I'm not too happy about it. That's why I battle you: to retrieve the honor of MY TEACHER'S Charizards!"

Having had enough, Ash touched the stone embedded in his Mega Ring on his right wrist.

"Mega Evolution!" he called out as his Charizard glowed and Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X.

"It's mega time!" the trainer called out as he held out his right hand and something looking like a Japanese sword appeared in his hand, but it had the words "Mega: at the top of the blade and "Evolution" at the bottom, and in the center of it, there was a stone that can activate Mega Evolution, except it was black. The Mega Katana lit up, and in a flash of light, Drakaiser Mega Evolved into a hiz Mega Charizard Z form.

"What is that?" Ash asked, having never seen that powerful mega before. Even his Charizard was surprised.

"Have you ever wondered why the shiny form for Charizard black?" the trainer said.

"What do you mean by that?" Ash asked.

"Black's my favorite color, but I have a theory why Charizard has it in shiny form." The trainer said. "It's something both Drakaiser and I have: the power of Darkness!"

Despite Ash not knowing anything about the powerful trainer, he starts focusing on the battle.

"Charizard, use Flamethrower!" Ash commanded.

Charizard fires a Flamethrower at Drakaiser, but he leaps over it, high in the air, and flips as he lands directly in front of Charizard.

"Whoa!" Ash said as he and his Charizard were stunned again, having never seen another Charizard this agile before.

"Use Dragon Tail!" Ash ordered.

Charizard's tail glowed as he swings it at Drakaiser who back flips out of the way.

"Black Flare!" the trainer commanded.

Drakaiser fired a black fire blast at Charizard, hitting him and causing an explosion. As the smoke clears, Charizard lays on the ground, defeated, and changed back. It wasn't resisted to the flames because it was a dark type move.

"We did it at last, Drakaiser." the trainer said as Drakaiser changes back to normal.

"Who are you?" Ash asked.

As the trainer got on Drakaiser's back, he replied "I'm Austin Lexibug, the master of Dark!" before being flown off, accomplished with avenging the honor of his Charizard's namesake.

Austin also took Misty with him, that night he and George Samson double teamed her until she couldn't use her legs for a day.

There isn't enough Male!trainer x Male!gardevoir x Misty so I added that bit at the end. Typed that one line with one hand. Hope you enjoyed :)
