A True Champion Never Gives Up
Disclaimer: Before you all stone me to death, I am sorry for the delay! Read the very long note at the bottom for why I posted so late and what my plans are currently. Trust me, if you don't then you're gonna have alot of questions later on.
Anyway, if I owned Pokemon, Ash would have won the Lumiose Conference. Fuck you anime writers.
-Route 201-
It had been an hour since the four left Twinleaf Town. By now, it was late evening and the sun was beginning to set. Not that it mattered, considering that they were close to reaching Jubilife City.
As they walked, Dawn was told the whole story of how the three had boarded the SS Anne and arrived in Canalave to how they had met Silver and found out about the robbery at Professor Rowan's lab. Of course, they left out the little intimate scene that night on the boat.
"So let me get this straight", Dawn said as they walked. "You three are in a three way relationship and love each other like any other couple?"
"That's right", Ash said. He had decided to tell Dawn about his relationship with Leaf and Crystal since he trusted her the most out of any of his friends.
"Wow. And you guys just go with it? Not even argue about it?"
"Yup. We get along just fine. We know when we have to share and all", Leaf said.
"Although, I can't say about the constant arguing", Crystal smiled.
They laughed and continued to walk as they talked about other things. Leaf had fully decided to accept Dawn and forget about her jealousy. Besides, Dawn was a good person and fun to hang out with.
Little did they know, Ash was lost deep in his thoughts. He couldn't help but think about the girls he was traveling with them. They had grown alot. Sure, he was lucky to get intimate with Leaf and Crystal, but Dawn was out of the question. As much as he loved her, he doubted she held the same feelings for him. That, and she would feel uncomfortable with the whole sex thing.
But all he could do was think about the three's big curves and busts until Crystal broke him out of his thoughts.
"So Ash, what do we do when we get to Jubilife? Did you find a place to stay?"
"Uh, no. I really don't know. Hey Dawn, are there any good hotels there? And the ones that don't cost a fortune?"
Dawn laughed and answered. "Yeah, there's a few. I know a good one though. The service is nice and it doesn't cost that much. Plus, it's really pretty and has a great view".
"That's sounds good. It literally has everything we need", Leaf said. That sounded good. A cheap hotel with every quality a person wanted? That was more than enough!
"Anyway, tell me more about this Silver guy", Dawn said, frowning. When she heard that Professor Rowan had been robbed and the main suspect was Silver, she couldn't help but feel angry towards the guy. After all, who robs a defenseless old man?
"Well, for one he had this incredibly powerful Feraligatr", Ash said.
"How powerful are we talking?"
"Powerful enough to easily defeat Pikachu without even getting hurt a little bit?"
"What?!" Dawn exclaimed. Normally, beating one of Ash's Pokemon was usual and not surprising but for someone to easily defeat Pikachu without getting hurt was quite a feat, since the mouse was Ash's first and most powerful Pokemon.
"Yeah, I'm still trying to get over that. Same with him", Ash said. Pikachu agreed with his trainer. He wanted revenge on that Feraligatr.
"And he's an asshole as well", Leaf remarked. She recalled how annoyed and mean Silver was when Ash had tried to ask him a question.
"And he treats his Pokemon like shit", Crystal added. "When Pikachu landed an attack on Feraligatr, he got mad and started talking down to it".
"That's terrible! And you say Professor Rowan saw the thief exactly like him?" Dawn said.
"Yup".
"Man, the nerve of that guy. If we ever meet him, I'm going to give him a beating he will never forget!" Dawn growled clenching her fist and shaking it.
"I don't know about that. He was giving off bad vibes and I sensed a strong, dangerous aura from him", Ash said.
"He might be dangerous. Who knows, he might even pull a gun on us", Leaf said.
"You know what? Forget about all that crap. It just ruins our mood. For now, we've arrived at Jubilife City!" Dawn exclaimed. Everyone looked up in the distance and saw the massive buildings and large neon sign saying "WELCOME TO JUBILIFE CITY!" on it.
"Whoa, I've never seen the city in sunset", Ash breathed. Truly, this was a breathtaking sight.
"Wait till you see it at night", Dawn smirked.
The four headed inside the city, which was bustling even at this hour. There were alot of people still roaming around, cars were still passing by, malls and stores were still open with alot of customers and the numerous big screens had something on them.
"Wow...", Crystal was amazed by the beauty. Even the others were and Dawn usually came to this place.
Even though the sun was setting, the place was a beauty. The buildings stood high and proud as the numerous TV screens lit up the city, bright colorful neon lights luminated, alot of people were roaming around and the sunset just made the city dead drop gorgeous.
"Well, let's go to the Pokemon Center. All those trainers we met on the way must have tired out our Pokemon", Ash said.
"Hey Dawn, what's the name of the hotel anyway?" Crystal asked.
"Here, I'll pull it up", Dawn said taking out her Xtransciever and pulling up an image of a bright colorful hotel that was large and had a golden statue of a Staraptor on top.
"Golden Jubilife Hotel? But that's the most expensive hotel here!" Crystal exclaimed. Ash and Leaf looked at Dawn in confusion."
"Dawn, I thought you said the hotel was cheap", Ash said.
"Oh I did", Dawn grinned. "At least, cheap compared to the other hotels in Sinnoh. Besides, I have alot of money from winning all those contests. I'll pay for it".
"What? No way, we pay together!" Leaf exclaimed.
"She's right. You're our friend and we're not going to let you carry the burden alone", Crystal said.
"Oh, come on. You don't have to", Dawn said, embarassed. She appreaciated the thought, but she was trying to be respectful as possible. Besides, they were her friends and she couldn't be unfair to them.
"Too bad! We're also paying for it", Ash said. That was it. No arguing there now.
Dawn sighed as the four walked through the streets, searching for the orange roofed building. She couldn't help, but stare at Ash as he walked. She noticed his average muscles and blushed. To top it off, that grin he had on his face made him cute.
Just when can I tell him how I feel? It's just so hard! Dawn thought.
"Pip?" She looked down to see her starter giving her a confused look.
"I'm fine Piplup. I was just thinking", Dawn said. Piplup didn't look convinced but he decided to trust his trainer. She usually zoned off like this, so it wasn't anything new.
The four walked into the Pokemon Center and were surprised to see alot of people there. It wasn't crowded or anything but there was still alot of people inside.
"My, that's quite a team you have there", Nurse Joy said as she looked at the four's respective Poke Balls.
"Yeah, they're all fit and fine. Training helps alot", Ash replied.
"Mhm, I can see that. Although, I can go more than just fit and fine", Joy added with a seductive wink. Luckily, the girls didn't notice Ash blush or the interaction at all.
"Come back in 30 minutes. Your Pokemon will have rested then", Joy said. Ash saw the seductive look she gave, but he pretended to not notice.
"Great, let's chill over at that table till then!" Leaf said. The four made their way towards the table off to the side of the room and took a seat.
To pass the time, they discussed what they were going to do the next day other than Ash's gym battle. It was fun as they talked and joked while at it.
After time had passed, Nurse Joy called upon Ash to collect his Pokemon, which he did. He clasped the capsules onto his belt and thanked the woman, who flashed him a seductive grin. He blushed and looked away.
"So, should we head over to the hotel now? Or you guys wanna see more in the city?" Dawn asked.
"Nah, I'm tired. I say we head over to the hotel and rest up, then explore the city", Leaf said.
"I agree with that. I'm tired after that long walk here", Crystal said.
"I mean, we just rested in the Pokemon Center. Surely you can't be THAT tired", Ash said.
"Ash sweetie, you wouldn't understand. You're a boy and we're women here. We have important things to do", Leaf said. Ash glared at her but didn't say anything. Leaf just smirked back.
"Alright, the hotel it is!" Dawn said, trying to hold back a laugh from the banter. However, their plans were about to change by fate. Just as the four headed towards the exit, suddenly the whole room went black.
Panic suddenly filled the room as people immediatly started talking and gasping. Concerned shouts sounded throughout the room.
"Yo, who turned off the lights?" Ash exclaimed.
"Everyone remain calm! We just have a power outage! It's nothing too serious!" Nurse Joy shouted in an authoritive manor. That seemed to calm everyone down as the noise quieted down.
"Why is there a power outage all of a sudden? Jubilife City never sleeps!" Ash exclaimed.
"I don't know. This is unusual", Dawn said. I have a bad feeling about this...
"Everyone, just remain calm okay? We have our electric type Pokemon working on the generators. Everything is all right", Joy announced. Next to her, a Pichu stood crackling electricity in its pouches.
"Chanse! Chansey!"
The helping Chansey was suddenly behind Nurse Joy, waving its arms frantically and shouting something.
"WHAT? The entire city has lost power?!" Joy shouted. People began shouting again and talking at once. It was hard for Ash and the others to concentrate with all the noise.
"It's true!" a nearby trainer gasped as he looked out the window. "The city has lost power! It's completly dark outside!"
Panic filled the room once more and by now, there was no calming down anyone. Nurse Joy immediatly began shouting orders as the electric Pokemon worked on getting the power back while she ran inside.
"What's going on? The entire city has lost power?!" Leaf exclaimed.
"I have never heard of anything like this happening!" said Crystal.
"Let's go see what's going on", Ash said. The four agreed and proceeded to leaved the building...
...or they would have if the doors of the Pokemon Center weren't suddenly slammed open by two men who ran inside.
"EVERYBODY ON THE GROUND, NOW!" one of them shouted as he suddenly pulled out a gun and shot the ceiling twice.
People immediatly dropped to the floor, not wanting to be next in the line of fire. Ash, Dawn, Leaf and Crystal all dropped to the floor and put their hands up along with everybody else.
Once he got a good look at who the intruders were, Ash narrowed his eyes and grit his teeth.
"Dawn, do you see those guys?"
"I do", Dawn said with gritted teeth. There was no mistaking it. The cyan, bowl cut hair style, the white and black uniform with the yellow "G"...
"Ash, who are those people? What are you talking about?" Leaf asked.
"Team Galactic", both Ash and Dawn said together. They glared at the men who were busy shouting orders.
"Everyone, hand over your Pokemon NOW! Return those in their Poke Balls and hand them over!" the grunt with the gun shouted.
"Oh yeah, and what if we don't? There's more of us than you!" someone shouted. The grunt with the gun smirked. "Let's find out, shall we?"
Without any warning, the grunt suddenly pulled out a Poke Ball and threw it to the ground. A large, steel plated Pokemon appeared standing on all fours.
"Lairon, Flash Cannon!" the grunt shouted. The Lairon opened its mouth, channeling a steel grey orb before firing it at the man who dared speak up. Everyone watched in horror as the attack struck the man head on, exploding in a flash of red light and sending him flying into the wall, where he slumped down.
"Get this in your heads everyone! THIS, is what will happen if you refuse our orders again!" the grunt shouted. He lifted the gun and took aim at the now panicking man.
Ash gasped, knowing what he was about to do. "No, don-"
*BANG!*
Everyone screamed as the bullet made impact and hit the man squarely in the chest, where he slumped down motionless. Blood started leaking from his chest and onto the floor.
They were all horrified at what they had witnessed before them. An innocent man had just been shot to his death right before them.
The other grunt took out his own Poke Ball and threw it, revealing a large, gray elephant with big tusks.
"Doon!" the Donphan roared as it glared at all the hostages around.
"Alright everyone, you can either hand over your Pokemon and leave here harmlessly, or you can try and fight back and end up like that guy over there", the grunt pointed towards the dead man. "So whaddya say?"
Ash and the others grit their teeth at the sight. How disgusting and heartless these people were. He almost wanted to bring out his Pokemon and fight, but knew the gun's bullet would end up in his chest before he could even say anything.
To make matters worse, the other grunt had also pulled out a gun and was aiming it at the panicked individuals.
"Oi nurse, where's the transporter at? You better not have sent any Pokemon!" the grunt threatened. Nurse Joy looked beyond terrified and she had tears rolling down her face.
"N-no, of course not...", she stammered. Chansey stood back in fear as well. Nurse Joy couldn't fight, she could only heal!
"Heh, good", the grunt smirked. "Say, you're not bad looking. I think after this Ima take you to my place and show you a good time".
Joy flinched as the grunt briefly reached over and fondled her breast before walking off.
The other grunt was starting to horde in the trainers' Poke Balls in a bag, pointing the gun at everyone at the time. His partner came over and starting helping with extra threats.
Ash swore under his breath, angry at how he could do nothing, but watch. He could have told Pikachu to Volt Tackle them by now, but after witnessing how quickly the grunt was able to fire the gun, he didn't want to risk his partner or him getting shot.
The girls beside him were terrified. Dawn was trying to cool her anger with Piplup calming her down, Leaf was biting her lip unsure of what to do and Crystal was on the verge of tears.
"Hehe, only a few more left. Speaking of which, we can't have any risks. Keep collecting the Pokemon, I'll get rid of the remaining trash", the grunt said to his partner. He then turned around and aimed his gun around, smirking at the now even more panicked faces of people.
After a while, he chose to aim at a family of three, with a mother, father and little girl. Ash was about to jump up and tackle the grunt if Pikachu hadn't told him to calm down.
"P-p-please, do-don't hurt us...", the woman stuttered, holding her daughter close.
"We g-gave you our Pokemon. What more do you want?" the father said.
"Oh, I don't want anything. But I can't have you rats talking or sneaking up on us and ruining this whole operation. That's why its best we purge everything in sight. Which means..."
The gun was suddenly pushed up to the man's head, earning a cry from his wife and daughter. "...we can't have any survivors. Don't worry, you're not alone".
"That's just messed up! We did what you wanted!" Ash suddenly shouted out. The grunt turned and sneered at him.
"No hard feelings kid. It's just safety precautions", the grunt said, then smirked. "For us".
Without warning, he wheeled around and aimed the gun at the father again and pressed the trigger.
"Infernape, Fire Blast!"
"Huh?" the grunt was suddenly blown backward, making the gun fly out of his hands as a giant ball of fire struck his Lairon, who was standing next to him. The other grunt wheeled around as his partner hit the wall, but before he could do anything, he too was blown off his feet by a roundhouse kick placed by the opponent.
Satisfied, the Infernape stood its ground and glared at its opponents. Everyone looked at the Pokemon shocked before a voice called out.
"Good job Infernape. Standby and await orders". A boy suddenly walked in through the doors, looking calm with a stoic expression. His steel grey irises seemed to bore into everyone around.
Ash immediaty recognized the boy as well as his traveling companions. It was the boy he had bumped into when he was walking to Twinleaf Town!
"Lucas!" Dawn suddenly cried out. No sooner than she said that, the boy turned around and met Dawn's gaze.
His eyes widened. "Dawn?" Why was she here? Wasn't she doing some kind of coordinating or something?
"Dawn? You know this guy?" Ash asked, frowning.
"Yeah. He's a close friend of mine", Dawn answered, still shocked to see him out of anyone here.
Lucas shook his head and looked at the two grunts who were groaning and picking themselves up. Infernape snarled at them and tensed up, ready to attack at the moment.
"Damn you kid. Still haven't stopped chasing us since Lake Valor, huh?" the lead grunt growled.
"Nice to see you too", Lucas retorted. He glared at them.
"Peh! Fuck this! You're going down right here!" the grunt exclaimed, pulling out a Poke Ball. "Dusclops, Nightmare!
The ghost type appeared and immediatly began channeling dark energy in its hands.
"Donphan, Take Down!" the grunt's partner shouted. Donphan shot forward with the intent of bringing Infernape down.
"Pikachu, Iron Tail!" Ash shouted suddenly.
In less than a second, Pikachu had hopped off his trainer's shoulder and slammed his metal coated tail on Donphan's face, sending it tumbling back.
Infernape simply dodged the Nightmare attack, then lashed out with a Flamethrower that crashed into both Dusclops and Lairon, fainting them instantly.
Donphan stumbled back, then glared at Pikachu. So this little rat thought it could stop him? He would show him!
"Donphan, Rollout!"
"Pikachu, use Iron Tail again!" Ash immediatly countered.
Normally, a Pikachu would have never been able to match a Donphan's brute strength and would easily be swatted away.
However, Ash's Pikachu had enough experience with this that he knew just where to strike the critical point.
Donphan was sent flying back into its trainer, knocking the two of them out. The lead grunt cursed his luck and returned the fallen Dusclops and Lairon, before pulling out another Poke Ball.
"I'm not done yet! Golbat, use Haze!"
"Pikachu use Thunderbolt, fast!"
Ash had countered so quickly that Golbat was immediatly fried as soon as it came out of its Poke Ball, and dropped down unconscious.
"What? NO!" the grunt shouted, shocked at his loss. Had he been bested by a kid's weak Pikachu?
"Fuck you kids! If my boss was here, you probably would be like that guy over there!" the grunt pointed to the dead guy he shot earlier.
"Alright, whatever. Infernape, put him out of his misery please".
"Nape!" Infernape grinned. In a flash, his fist slammed against the grunt face, knocking him out instantly. Ash could have swore he heard some bones breaking.
Now that the grunts were taken care of, the people immediatly began to cheer for the two trainers. Ash sheepishly smiled whereas Lucas smirked.
The girls got up and ran over to them. Dawn was the first to speak.
"Lucas! What are you doing here?"
"I could say the same to you. But we should talk later. Right now, the entire city has lost power. Team Galactic is attacking the city! We need to move right now!"
Just then, everyone heard a loud explosion from outside, earning more panicked screams from people.
The group quickly ran outside and saw the situation. The entire city was pitch black. If it weren't for the cars and other destroyed objects on fire, they couldn't have been able to see all the chaos that was ensuing.
Galactic grunts were everyone, ordering their Pokemon to attack anything on sight. Officers were doing their best to fight back, but the number of grunts was just too much.
"What the hell? Why's Team Galactic attacking the city? I thought we stopped them!" Ash shouted.
"And why are they winning?!" Leaf exclaimed, noticing the struggle. Team Galactic was clearly winning here. They had the large amount of numbers and strong Pokemon.
"There's chaos everywhere!" Crystal shouted.
"Team Galactic must be using the darkness to their advantage!" Lucas exclaimed. "That's why they cut the power out! They're using the darkness to blend in and attack from everywhere! That's why the police are losing!"
"Well, we need to get the power back on!" Ash exclaimed.
"Where do we turn the power back on?" Dawn asked.
"There has to be a backup generator somewhere. Usually its always on the roof of a large building", Crystal said.
"It's the Jubilife TV building! We have to get there!" Lucas shouted.
"But how? There's literally a war zone out here and we can't even see properly!" Leaf exclaimed.
"I got this! Pikachu, use Flash!" Ash shouted. Though he rarely used it, Flash was still a move Pikachu refused to forget.
Pikachu leapt up high in the air and let out a bright flash, his glowing body now illuminating the surroundings around them. While it wasn't the best, there was still more light.
"Good idea! Luxray, you use Flash too!" Lucas exclaimed tossing another Poke Ball and revealing the Gleam Eyes Pokemon. A bright flash and like Pikachu, Luxray's body was also illuminating, creating more light.
"Good enough! Let's go!" Ash shouted. Without wasting a second, the group took off toward the direction of the Jubilife TV station.
Unfortunatly, they didn't get very far and soon found themselves surrounded by a dozen grunts, who had noticed Pikachu and Luxray's Flash and immediatly sprang into action by releasing a horde of Pokemon.
Ash grit his teeth as a fight was about to ensue. There's no way out of this one. Guess we'll have to fight through.
And without warning, he shouted. "Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
TO BE CONTINUED
*READ THE WHOLE THING BELOW FOR ANSWERS!*
First of all, let me just apologize for the extremely long delay. I was really busy with my life. I had a ton of errors to fix in this story so I had to rewrite this whole chapter. I also didn't have the motivation for this for a while, but now its back so I'll be continuing this story. But the bad news is that this is how its gonna be for a while. My update speed has dropped, so it's gonna be a while until the next chapter comes out. Expect this a little while more in the future as well, but just know that I am NEVER abandoning this story.
Second, another reason for the delay is that I got caught up making plans for ANOTHER story. Yes, you heard me. It's gonna be a Pokemon high school story called "Viridian High School" and will be coming out soon. Trust me, this ain't like any other high school story. Expect alot of twists and bizarre couples you never knew could happen. Please check it out. I'll inform you guys when I release the first chapter of it.
So, anybody see episode 38 of XYZ yet? Well, I'm fucking pissed! Ash (SPOILER ALERT) loses again! Surprise, surprise! Fuck, I thought he was gonna win. He could have also if the douchebag writers decided to actually play it smart. They made us get hyped for no reason! And Ash had a ton of reasons to win as well!
1. His whole team with the exception of Pikachu is fully evolved (Talonflame, Hawlucha, Greninja, Noivern, Goodra).
2. In every season, Ash has always been getting his ass kicked by his rivals throughout the entire season and always triumphs them in the leagues (like Gary, Paul, Trip). Alain was no exception. So basically Ash nevers wins against Alain. That's like pulling a Tobias out there people!
3. Ash actually made it to the FINALS. Not the semi-finals, not the top 8, not the top 16. The actual fucking finals.
4. You'd think that after travelling through literally 6 regions over the past 20 years would have made Ash smarter and everything. And then, he sends out Greninja against Charizard when there is a Rain Dance still active, turns into Ash-Greninja and what does he do? Use fucking CUT. Ash, you dumbass.
5. Serena. There could have been some cheesy moment where Ash is getting his ass handed to him (like always) and Serena could have been like "I believe in you, Ash" or something and boom! Ash wins.
6. And finally, the whole Ash-Greninja thing. Throughout the anime, this has been done several times and is now one of the coolest things the anime has to offer (I for one love Ash-Greninja. Expect that later on in the story) And if you notice, you'll see throughout the times they use it, Ash and Greninja still don't have full control over it. So they could have mastered it during the match and kicked Alain's ass.
And that is my reasons for why Ash should have won.
Team Galactic is back and we find out the mysterious boy is none other than Lucas! Fun fact: Lucas appeared as a cameo in the beginning of "Giratina and the Sky Warrior" and was shown to be battling Brendan! In this timeline, Lucas is different and has different Pokemon (my Platinum team to be precise). And who would've thought he was going to be Dawn's cousin in this? Don't relax yet. There is more to this guy than you think and he won't show up in only 1 arc...
Also, Dawn has just found out about the whole threeway relationship between Ash, Leaf and Crystal. Question is, when is it her time to shine in a lemon?
We got more additions to the list:
Cynthia
Sabrina
Whitney
May
Misty
Iris
Serena
Skyla
Elesa
Korrina
Flannery
Erika
Lorelei
Jessie
Candice
Hilda
Rosa
Bianca
Lyra
Shauna
bugaboo13: Despite all his losses, Ash may have a chance at winning the Kalos league for a few reasons.
1). Almost all of Ash's Pokemon are fully evolved (except Pikachu).
2). I think he might face Alain, not some cheap trainer who uses legendaries like Tobias
3). Surely the people can't be THAT cruel and would Ash win this time at least for Serena or whatever.
As for the criminal organizations, you'll see more of them. Team Galactic will play a big role in the Sinnoh arc so stay tuned to what I have planned.
KhaosOmega: Unfortunatly, I can't say anything right now. I only have Sinnoh planned and the next region is in the middle of planning. Jasmine is a good choice and maybe Valerie also. You'll have to see later on. As for the females wearing high heels, that seems really nice. I might actually do that in the later arcs. Thanks for the suggestions though!
sneak13579: The male characters are either Ash's friends or rivals. I'm not doing male characters in the harem except Ash.
Guest: Haha, you saw how Pikachu reacted when Dawn mentioned Buneary, right? Oh, there will DEFINITLY be Pikachu and Buneary antics. As for the two dating, we'll have to see :)
espeon44: Well, what is Ash's objective? What is the plot of the story? Think for a minute. Ash will win championships but he might not win some of them because I don't want to overdo it and turn this story into a "ASH POWNS EVERYONE" thing.
Guest: Thanks for liking the story!
HP-DG-SB-NR-RR-AG-TD-KB-HA-AJ (that's a big ass name btw): Yeah, I know. Misty, Iris and Jessie have been getting alot of hate. But as I've said before, I plan to make them a little different and more likeable but don't expect too much changes since that would be OOC, which I'm trying to avoid.
Scooby-Doo 150: All the girls you listed are in the harem.
GodX: Thanks! Yes, in this story, Serena has her old hair. Her new hair looks way to cringey. And the girls you asked for are all listed above.
Sonic: Yep, they're all included.
0 Jordinio 0: My mistake, mate! I meant Max Potion but just typed in Potion. I forgot to fix that tiny little thing that you so give such a big shit about.
Guest: There will be Leaf/Dawn yuri scenes, as well as with other girls.
Next chapter, we have the gang fight against Team Galactic and try to get the power back. That's all I have to say. Oh, and there may or may not be some more characters. R&R please!
