A new episode has appeared!

Catch it! Use your Masterballs!

So this is the 7th chapter of the story.

Well I wanted to talk a bit about Wally. I know it might seem odd that I actually used a game-originated character in the anime universe, but just remember that Misty started as an in game character and the same goes for May herself. And as they have done with May, she has a different lore in the Anime and games, and the same goes for Wally from ORAS (even though I liked his personality better as it was presented in Emerald).

Also I know I could have given him Mega Altaria (my favorite mega) but I decided that I am going to save megas for later.

Also seen this kind of thing thrown around in a lot of Pokemon fanfics, and in my opinion this chapter is a really good place to actually start doing it.

'Thoughts'

'Telepathy'

"Speech"

"Pokespeech sounds" (Pokespeech meaning)

With that being said, here are the (currently known *totally not introducing a new one next chapter* **Slight hinting towards the Pokemon in this chapter**) Pokemon of Ash and May:

Ash

Pikachu
Staraptor
Noivern – Boomburst
Azumarill
Metagross
Scrafty

May

Sylveon
Blaziken
Tropius
Altaria
Skitty
Beautifly

Disclaimer *never seen that one coming*: The number of Pokemon I actually have the rights of equals the amount of times I have eaten my dog (0).

*Just FYI: English is not my native language, which means that I do make some grammar and spelling mistakes. I just want you to know that I would be happy if you'd be able to write to me (PM me please) about every mistake I make, so I'd be able to fix it.

With that being said, let's start the actual chapter.


Chapter 7 – Rustboro Action Time

"Go Aerodactyl!" Wally said as he tapped his Pokeball lightly.

"Go Metagross!" Ash said as he threw his Pokeball.

"Meta" the super computer Pokemon said.

"Aerodactyl use Earthquake!" Wally called out.

"Metagross dodge with Rock Polish" Ash quickly responded.

The super computer Pokemon did as his trainer instructed quickly and precisely.

'Wow… His Metagross moves in such sync to him. Ash is already showing off his skills without even doing much… This is going to be a very hard challenge' Wally thought to himself.

"Metagross now use Meteor Mash!" Ash commanded the metallic creature.

"Metagross!" the super computer Pokemon growled.

"Aerodactyl dodge it with Roost" the green haired trainer commanded.

"Metagross target your attack higher than where he is now!" Ash said.

As Aerodactyl used roost, he was interrupted by a powerful Meteor Mash.

"Metagross go for another one!" Ash commanded.

"Aerodactyl dodge it this time with Sky Attack" Wally shouted.

"Aero" the prehistoric Pokemon called out as it began to rise into the sky.

"Metagross quickly stop your attack and dodge his Sky Attack by using Rock Polish" Ash said.

As Ash commanded his last command, the prehistoric Pokemon started to descend back down.

"Metagross use Meteor Mash instead of dodging!" Ash said as Aerodactyl was about five seconds to collision.

Soon enough, the Meteor Mash collided with the Sky Attack, which created a small explosion. No Pokemon standing could be seen for a few seconds.

"Metagross I know you can do it!" Ash shouted.

"Yes you can do it!" May shouted from the crowd.

As the fog started to dissipate, Metagross could be seen standing with some injures on him, but Aerodactyl could not be seen yet.

"Aerodactyl please stand up, I know you are able to…" Wally said as the fossil Pokemon quickly rose up from the fog with severe injures on him.

"Quickly before Metagross can react, use Roost!" Wally commanded his flying Pokemon.

"Aerodactyl!" the prehistoric Pokemon replied as it used its requested move.

"Metagross use Rock Polish to disturb Aerodactyl" Ash said.

But this time Metagross was too slow to stop Aerodactyl from using Roost.

"Metagross use another Meteor Mash, with all of your force, or else Aerodactyl will just keep Roosting until we will run out of power" Ash said.

"Meta – Gross!" Metagross said as it launched the most powerful Meteor Mash attack it could.

"Aerodactyl dodge it and use Earthquake" Wally commanded, without any success.

The prehistoric Pokemon was knocked to the ground without making any movement.

"Aerodactyl is unable to battle, Metagross is the winner!" Thomas called out, as he pointed towards Ash.

"Aerodactyl is usually so fast compared to other Pokemons… How did you manage to land all of your attacks like that and dodge its attacks?" Wally asked the raven haired trainer.

"Rock Polish allows Metagross to increase his speed; after he used enough of them it was a piece of cake to dodge any incoming attack" said the raven haired trainer.

"But just so you know, this was a really good match" Ash said while giving a big smile to the young trainer.

"Get ready for the second match" Thomas called out while looking at Ash and Wally.

"Metagross, you did great out there, come back!" Ash said while tapping its Metagross Pokeball.

"You put up a really good fight there Aerodactyl" Wally said while moving Aerodactyl's Pokeball close to his mouth.

"Well are you ready for the next match?" Ash asked Wally.

"Yes I am" Wally said while looking at Ash confidently.

"Are you ready?" Thomas asked through a microphone.

"Yes we are" both Ash and Wally answered in unison.

"Ready… Set… GO!" Thomas quickly announced to his microphone.

"Altaria go out!" Wally called excitedly while releasing the cloud dragon from its Pokeball.

"Noivern it is your turn now!" Ash called out while throwing his Pokeball.

"Noiv!" the large eared dragon called out.

"Noivern use Boomburst!" Ash commanded Noivern.

Quickly, the powerful Boomburst scored a hit on the cloud dragon Pokemon.

"Noivern go for another one!" Ash quickly commanded.

"Altaria use Dragon Dance to disturb Noivern!" the green haired trainer called out.

"Altar" Altaria shouted while rushing towards Noivern.

As the cloud dragon was disturbing the large eared dragon Ash thought to himself about what he should do next. 'I wonder if I could shut Altaria down by using Draco Meteor after another Boomburst'. 'It should work' a soft voice said in Ash's head while he kept wondering about that. 'Thank you' Ash said in his thoughts.

"Noivern get up quickly to get rid of Altaria and use Boomburst again!" Ash commanded his dragon.

"Noivern Noi" Noivern said as he done according to his trainer's command.

Another powerful sound wave collided its way with Altaria, causing it to now have some severe injuries.

"Noivern finish it with Draco Meteor" Ash quickly shouted as Noivern started to tighten its focus to use the Draco Meteor.

"Just what I was waiting for, now Altaria use Outrage" the green haired trainer commanded.

Quickly the physical dragon attack made contact with Noivern, which made it have some really severe injuries.

"Keep going Altaria" Wally shouted as Altaria kept attacking the large eared dragon. At that point the large dragon was on the ground unconscious.

"No Noivern!" May shouted while looking with an horrified expression on her face towards the field.

"Noivern I know you can do it!" Ash shouted while looking at the poor dragon.

"Noivern is unable to battle! Altaria is the winner!" Thomas quickly announced.

"Noivern you did great, come back!" Ash called out.

"Altaria, you are ready for another round, right?" Wally asked the cloud Pokemon.

"Altaria" Altaria answered positively.

"I have got to say, you are one of the most skilled trainer I have ever fought against. This is the first time ever I have seen Noivern knocked out. But this battle is far from over. Am I right?" Ash asked. As Wally heard Ash's words, it made him feel the best he ever felt as he was a big fan of Ash, who just called him one of the best trainers he ever fought.

"Thank you Ash!" Wally told the raven haired trainer.

"And you are right, this battle is far from over" Wally quickly added.

"Are you both ready for the third round?" Thomas asked the teens.

"Yes I am" Ash answered.

"More ready than ever" Wally said.

"Well then, it is time for the third round!"

"Azumarill go out!" Ash called as he threw the bunny Pokemon's Pokeball.

"Azuma – Azumarill" the bunny Pokemon said while looking at the cloud Pokemon.

"Ready… Set… GO!" Thomas said.

"Azumarill use Belly Drum" Ash commanded his bunny Pokemon.

Quiclky, the bunny Pokemon used his move before Altaria or its trainer could respond.

"Now finish Altaria with Aqua Jet!" Ash called out.

"Azumarill" Azumarill growled as its powerful Aqua Jet collided.

Quickly, Azumarill knocked the cloud dragon out, letting Azumarill having that easy knock out.

"Altaria is unable to battle! Azumarill is the winner!" Thomas announced while looking with a shocked expression on the field.

"I knew you could do it Ash!" May shouted in excitement.

As Ash heard the young brunette shouting from the crowd, he felt the good warmth feeling going into him again, but he decided to fight it as hard as he could, for the sake of the battle.

"Go back Altaria, you had a fantastic battle" Wally said while calling its cloud dragon back.

"I've got to say that that Altaria of yours is trained very well. It is rare to see such a powerful dragon as your Altaria" Ash told the green haired trainer.

"Th-Thank you" Wally said while looking at Ash.

"Are you ready for the fourth round?" Thomas asked.

"Yes we are!" Ash and Wally answered in unison once more.

"Ok then! Call out your Pokemon!" Thomas said.

"Talonflame go out!" Wally called out while throwing a Pokeball with a little flame on it.

"Talon!" the bird Pokemon shouted as it got out of its Pokeball.

"Well then… Ready… Set… GO!" Thomas shouted into his microphone.

"Sorry that I am ending it so fast" Ash told Wally.

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

"Azumarill use Aqua Jet!" Ash commanded the water Pokemon.

As Azumarill heard its trainer command it quickly rushed to the bird Pokemon and caused a severe hit which knocked out the Pokemon to the ground.

"No Talonflame!" Wally shouted while looking at the fire bird Pokemon.

"What a crazy knock out! Talonflame is unable to battle! Azumarill is the winner!" Thomas announced.

"Your Azumarill is so strong, especially after it used Belly Drum, I don't think my last Pokemon will be able to do anything to it without getting severely injured, so I am going to forfeit!" Wally said while looking at Ash.

"Okay, I get what you are you saying, if I were in your position I would be doing the same thing. Azumarill come back!"

'But I didn't get the chance to battle' Ash heard a voice in his mind.

'Ok then, let me see what I can do for you' Ash said in his mind.

"Hey Wally?" Ash shouted across the field.

"Yeah Ash?" Wally answered.

"Would you want to have one more round? It would be my last Pokemon vs your one, just for the fun? It is just that she really wants to fight her first real fight" Ash asked

"Okay then" Wally said.

'What Pokemon could it be' May thought to herself.

"Are you ready for this special round?" Thomas asked.

"Yes" Both of the teens answered.

"Weavile go out!" Wally called out.

'Weavile?! That is super-effective with both of his types. Well it is now or never' Ash said in his head.

"Latias go out!" Ash called as the crowd started to shout, cheer and exclaim loudly.

"Is that a Latias?" a shout heard.

"Is it the real thing?" another person asked.

'How did Ash get a Latias' May asked himself.

'Thank you for agreeing to the battle, this is my first battle' Wally heard in his head.

"Wha! She talked to me" Wally quickly exclaimed.

"Yeah, she is telepathic" Ash told him.

"Shouldn't we get for the battle" Ash quickly added.

"Okay then. I am ready for the battle" Wally said.

"Well… Ready… Set… GOOO!" Thomas shouted.

"Latias use Reflect Type" Ash quickly commanded.

Quickly the winged dragon used Reflect Type to change to Weavile's type.

"Now Latias use Ice Beam" the raven haired trainer commanded his Pokemon.

"Latias!" The dragon flying Pokemon said.

"No Weavile!" Wally shouted as the attack collided with the black Pokemon.

After the fog of the Ice Beam attack collision faded, an injured Weavile appeared.

"I knew you could do it" Wally said.

"Weavile use Low Kick" the green haired trainer commanded.

"Latias dodge it with Surf" Ash said as Latias did his command.

The water attack collided with Weavile, causing a knock out.

"Weavile is unable to fight. Latias is the winner!" Thomas exclaimed loudly.

"Latias you did it! You won your first battle!" Ash called out while petting the white dragoness head.

"Lati" the white dragoness replied.

"That was her first battle?" Wally asked.

"Yes it was" Ash replied.

"She was so strong compared to a Pokemon that battled its first time, she must be well trained then right?" Wally asked the raven haired trainer.

"Yeah, we have been training for a year and a half now" Ash said while looking at the dragoness.

'Ash is the best trainer I could ever wish for' Wally heard in his mind.

'Well then, he is an incredible trainer and person' Wally said in his head.

'Yes he is' Wally heard the voice in his mind once more.

After a moment of silence, Ash decided it was time to walk away.

"Well Latias you did very well in your first battle, I could not wish for more. Now come back Latias" Ash said while calling back the red dragoness.

As the battle ended, the crowd was still shocked from the scene of the Latias and Ash Ketchum. Ash quickly ran towards the crowd, to a certain red clothed brunette who was going towards him as fast as she could.

"We'll catch on Wally later; we have to go out before all of the crowd will be bombarding us with questions" Ash said which resulted in May nodding in agreement.

"Staraptor go out!" Ash called as he threw one of his Pokeballs.

"Quickly get on!" Ash told the brunette as he was hopping on the bird Pokemon.

Soon enough, both of the teens were on the bird Pokemon, as the crowd started to surround the two teens.

"Bye Wally, I'll talk to you later!" Ash said as Staraptor began to ascend towards the sky.

"Bye Ash, I am so glad I've got the chance to meet you!" Wally shouted back to the now airborne raven haired teen.

As the teens were soaring through the sky, May finally decided to say what was on her mind.

"Hey Ash, can I ask you something?" May asked the raven haired teen.

"Of course, anything you wish" Ash replied with a smile on his face.

"How did you manage to get a Latias?" May asked the young trainer.

"I guess I should have seen that one coming" Ash told the young brunette and quickly continued.

"Well it was quite a long time ago… Have you ever heard about a place that is called Alto Mare?" Ash asked the brunette.

"Isn't Alto Mare an island near which is located nearby Hoenn?" May asked the young trainer.

"Yes it is… Well according to the legend a Latias and a Latios are the protectors of that island. Me and Misty were there on a summer vacation to take part of the tour of Alto Mare" Ash said as he was interrupted by May.

"Wait you took part in the tour of Alto Mare; did you take first place?" May asked the trainer.

"No, I actually came last. I was about to win the race but then I was suddenly thrown out forward. Anyways that's beside the point. After Misty won first place we were going through the city, which made us discover that the legend about the two Latis is actually real" Ash said.

"But we weren't the only ones to discover that" Ash said after a brief pause.

"What do you mean by that?" May asked the young trainer.

"Well… somehow those Team Rockets bastards have managed to find out about the Latis existence as well, and they tried to capture them and to steal the Soul Dew" Ash said as he was interrupted by the young brunette once more.

"So the Soul Dew is actually real?" May asked the raven haired trainer.

"Yes it is, and they succeeded on stealing it and they captured Latios, and used his life force to try and control the world, destroying Alto Mare by doing so. Me and Latias were able to stop roughly stop them, but it was too late, they drained enough of Latios' life force so he won't survive and the city was going to get demolished, all because the Soul Dew was destroyed. Just then Latios decided to sacrifice himself to save the island. He did so as he turned to a Soul Dew himself, thus saving Alto Mare" Ash said while his eyes were already getting wet.

"A-And a-after a year La-Latias de-decided to join m-me on my jou-journey as she d-did not want t-to st-stay alone in Alto M-Mare" Ash said while sobbing.

Just then, May decided to act out of an instinct, and to wipe the trainer's tears.

"I am sorry I made you to talk about this, it sounds so horrifying" May said, while trying to stop the tears in her eyes from going out.

"Ash you did your best, and I am sure Latios appreciated what you did for him as well" May said while hugging the young trainer.

"Th-Thank you May, it really means a lot to me" Ash said while he felt the warmth feeling getting to him once more. But he was too sad at the moment to consider it in his mind; but it did take his sadness away from him, slowly but surely.

Ash's tears were slowly drifting away, and his attitude began to shift to a more positive attitude.

"So th-this is how I got Latias" Ash said still while slightly sobbing.

"I see, I must say I never thought you had such a traumatic action regarding a legendary Pokemon. I am really sorry for bringing it up" May said.

"Also it makes me hate on Team Rocket even more, how could they dare do such an evil thing to such a poor Pokemon" May added. Quickly she realized her position and let go of her hug. She could have sworn she saw a frown on Ash's face as she pulled her hands back, but she shrugged it off to her imagination.

"Yeah, when I'll finally be able to catch them, I'll make sure they will pay for all of what they have done" Ash said while looking at the brunette.

"Ok then so that's set and go" the brunette said while looking at Ash.

"So Ash, where are we heading to?" the brunette asked the young trainer.

"We are heading to the Pokemon Center" Ash told the brunette while looking at his bird like Pokemon.

"Well then, I guess I can enjoy the ride now" May told the young trainer.

"Yes we can" Ash said as he unconsciously started to hold May's head, which made her blush a little.

Soon enough, the bird Pokemon made its way to the Pokemon Center, and then they were walking towards the Pokemon Center.

"Staraptor come back!" Ash said while tapping one of his Pokeballs.

"Where would you want to eat Ash?" May asked the young trainer.

"I am fine with eating at the Pokemon Center, I just don't want to have any of the people from the battleground identifying me and start bombarding me with questions" Ash said while receiving a nod of agreement from the brunette.

"Well then, Pokemon Center it is" Ash said while looking for the restaurant direction through the Pokemon Center's map.

"It looks like the restaurant is on the corridor to the right" Ash said while looking at the brunette.

The two began walking towards the restaurant. They ate there for about an hour and then decided to spend the rest of the day in their room, playing with their Pokemon.

After a few more hours of playing in their room, the moon was already in the sky.

"Hey May, I am really tired, I think we should go to sleep now" Ash said while looking at the brunette with sleepy eyes.

"Okay, let me change clothes first" May said as she made her way to their little bathroom. While May was changing her clothes in the bathroom, Ash changed his clothes in the other room. After a few minutes, May made her way back to the room, and to her surprise, Ash wasn't asleep yet.

"I see you managed to stay awake this time" May said while letting a short giggle out.

"Yeah I did, anyways it is time to sleep" Ash said.

'This is going to be very awkward, to try and get to sleep while we are both awake in the same bed; let's just hope we won't end up in as awkward position as the one we ended up in today' May thought to herself.

Quickly, both of the teens made their way to the bed, both quite embarrassed by the situation, as it was the first time they were sleeping in the same room, let alone sleeping in the same bed, as they both were awake.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, May fell asleep, which was easily noticeable by the soft snores she was making.

'Her snores are so cute' Ash thought to himself as he quickly realized what he was thinking about.

'Something is really wrong with me, tomorrow's evening I am going to call Brock to try and understand what happened to me' Ash thought to himself.

As he was thinking those thoughts, May started cuddling with him in her sleep, which made Ash have a slight blush on his face. As he didn't want to wake the brunette up, he decided to just try and sleep like that; a small part of him also did that so he would be able to enjoy the closeness of May, but Ash wasn't really aware to that part because of his denseness and tiredness.

Quickly the young trainer fell asleep as well. After a few moments, the little rodent let a small giggle out as it looked at the two teens cuddled with each other.

'They sure look cute together' Pikachu thought to himself before falling to sleep on the floor near the pink Pokemon.


Well that is it for today's chapter.

Yeah the chapter is over, but at least you've got some fluff at the end.

Also I just wanted to let you know that Pokemon Heroes was my favorite Pokemon movie, so that's one of the main reasons why I decided that Latias should join Ash, but there are more reasons for that that will become clearer in the future.

Be sure to read and review as it really helps me to improve the fanfic.

I want to thank everyone who has already reviewed this fanfic.

Also I am sorry for the amount of time it took me to write this chapter, it's just that the battle section took me quite a long time to write compared the whole chapter.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and until next time, have a good day,

The Lucky Sylveon.
