CHAPTER 8 ~ Father & Son!

Hello everyone and welcome to another chapter of Son of the Devil. This will be the most significant chapter yet and if you enjoyed the series so far, you will love this update! This is where things get really serious and the characters start to meet each other. Ash's father will appear at the beginning and end of this chapter and finally meet his son after 5 years, but don't expect it to be a long conversation, more like a short appearance.

For anyone that doesn't already know. Archer, Ariana, Proton, and Petrel are the 4 Team Rocket executive's that appear in the Silver, Gold, Crystal, and HGSS games that were set in the Johto region. They will appear in the Kanto and Johto arcs and possibly others if you want. Do you guys like the idea of redeeming villains? Everyone Bar Ghetsis is eligible because that guy is the only truly evil person and he would be far better dead than as an ally.

For those of you that are wondering, ash will not have his old pokemon back because they are not strong enough for the team I have planned. The only ones I considered were Infernape and meganium, but Charizard and Sceptile are far stronger than those. Type Null will be evolving before the Johto arc so don't worry about zoroark's twin being underpowered like he was against Blaziken, and you have to remember that he was fighting Palmer and he used a move equivalent to a sunny day that weakens water moves so he really stood no chance there. Ash would have been completely swept by Palmer after Blaziken fainted because the only reason the Sceptile won was that Null already damaged his target and he got a power boost from the staff. Blaziken is just stronger than Sceptile and the rest of Palmer's team are even better than that with Milotic and Rhyperior being just as strong as Cynthia's Garchomp, and you will see how much ash struggles against that Bastard shark in the Sinnoh arc.

I am Judging the various trainers as they are in the games, meaning that Cynthia and Palmer are god tier while people like Diantha and Alder will be weaker and less of a challenge.

Here are the power scales so far. Best to worst.

1st ~ Void / Ash's Father / God Pokemon /Asta

2nd ~ Red

3rd ~ Blue / N

4th ~ Ghetsis / Lusamine / Legendary Pokemon / Giovanni / Cyrus /

5th ~ Colress / Zinzolin / Lysandre / Archie / Maxie / Guzma /

6th ~ Cynthia / Palmer

7th ~ Steven / Gold

8th ~ Alder

9th ~ Diantha / Kukui / Alain / Archer / Courtney / Saturn /

10th ~ Brendan (Pyramid King & frontier brain) / Ariana / Proton /

11th ~ Leaf / Petrel

12th ~ Tabitha / Shelly / Matt / Mars / Jupiter / (team flare admins are not in this story because I'm replacing them with someone else…) / weaker frontier brains /

13th ~ Ash (temporary) / Lance / Lucian / Karen / Drake (Hoenn) / Caitlin / Siebold / Hala / Iris (eventual) / Serena (eventual) / Jessie (eventual) / Lillie (eventual) / Wally (temporary) / Trip (temporary) / Drew / Paul / Hugh B2W2 (temporary) / Bianca / Cheren / Sawyer / Calem (X&Y Protagonist) (temporary) / Silver (temporary) / Brendon (R/S/E Protagonist) (temporary) / Lucas (D/P Protagonist) / Eusine / Nate (B2W2 Protagonist) (temporary) / Hilda (temporary) / Rosa (B2W2 Protagonist) (temporary) /

14th ~ Elite four / Gary / Barry (temporary) / Brock / Misty / Max / May / Dawn / Cilan / Drayden / Tracey / Richie / Clemont / Tierno / Trevor (temporary) / Shauna / Team Eclipse grunts /

15th ~ Gym Leaders / League trainers

16th ~ regular Grunts / regular trainers

17th ~ Wild pokemon

And that is the current power scale for all of the characters. Ash has a long way to go until he can enter the archipelago for real and will also have rivals who are equal in strength until the Unova region where he can stomp anyone.

Please leave a review and share your RESPECTFUL OPINION with me. It's really motivating to see all of this good support and helps me plan my story better so I thank you all for that :)

With all that said; Let's start the chapter!

FATHER & SON!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


(DRAGONSPIRAL TOWER)

The clouds atop Unova were quite the sight in the night sky. Above the ground, the air was filled with a combination of fire and lightning signalling that the two legendary dragons had awoken. In reality, they had merely been released from their pokeballs to wreak havoc across Unova while their master dealt with personal matters. The twin legends were instructed to create chaos that would delay Ghetsis' plans long enough for Ash Ketchum to make his way over to Unova and stop the crazy bastard from taking over the world. Zekrom and Reshiram were currently sparring in the skyline and destroying every team plasma base in sight. They loved facing each other and unlike the other legendary rivals, they held great respect for each other while they fought under their master's name. this was because of the amount of time that they had spent with eachother while defending his base in the depths of central Unova.

As that was going on, a figure was standing atop the tower. It was a male in his early 30's with shoulder-length raven hair like his son. He was muscular and had a huge black scar across his handsome face that was a natural brown with lightning birthmarks on his cheeks. He wore a huge white overcoat that covered his entire body with a huge collar that concealed his mouth from the freezing cold. He had a white and gold staff that had a mega ring inside with a Gauntlet that held over 30 mega stones. He wore a small mask over his jaw that gave off an intimidating look and he wore 6 belts that were jam-packed with pokeballs. The most eye-catching thing was the golden briefcase that was held in his right hand. This contained his strongest and most powerful team that was only to be used against a special someone in the coming years.

This man was Mr Ketchum, the Legend master…

He spotted a Salamence shoot out of the sky like a meteor and safely land next to him. "Everything is going according to plan master, but the humans are starting to snoop around and if we don't act...they will find out your secret…" the dragon warned cautiously as the man smirked.

"If those fools ever do find out, they will be dead before news gets out…" he grinned slightly. "It would ruin our entire plan if Ash were to find out about me. We need him to focus on becoming stronger, not me…" he sighed sadly as he sat down on the edge of the tower. "I never expected him to get this far in such a short period. Looks like I was right when I said he would surpass me…" he chuckled weakly as the Salamence gave him a sad glance.

The blue and red dragon sat down beside his master and watched the two legends wreck the Unova region from the skies above. "Don't blame yourself, master. You had to leave him in order to complete the prophecy. Besides, you'll soon see him when we battle on the day of the apocalypse…" he murmured, successfully cheering his trainer up.

The eldest Ketchum looked up above and let out a painful sigh. "What if he hates me...after all this time? I just left when he needed me most...and I couldn't save him from those disgusting friends of his. How can I even call myself a human when I already knew about it and did nothing…" he growled in frustration. "All for this damn dream. It's funny….a perfect world...in exchange for your only child...how ironic…" he laughed in dark amusement and began to punch the dark blue tiles of the dragonspiral tower in agitation.

"Who knew that the strongest trainer on earth was capable of a temper tantrum…" Salamence snickered slyly as he received a small zap of aura to his forehead, making him yelp in pain.

"Fucking Smaug...shitty lizard...Puff the magic dragon…" the man snarled as his partner clutched his chest in mock offence.

"That last one was low master…"

"Like I give a shit…"

The pair's childish argument was cut short as a caped figure raced towards them at a blinding speed. The pokemon skidded to a halt right in front of his trainer with a horrified expression. "Master! Ash is on the SS Anne that is about to be attacked by team rocket! They are aiming to kill everyone on board and take him to Giovanni!" the mega Gallade shouted in panic as his trainer looked indifferent. "And they are bringing Mewtwo Y as extra protection!" he added quickly as the man paled momentarily until his eyes lit up in rage.

Time seemed to stop as they could all see the golden light that blazed in his eyes. Right now, he was entering an emotional phase that was feared throughout the world and only a handful of people ever lived through it. The failed father was boiling with anger as he fastened his coat roughly and set a map for the SS Anne.

"Salamence...fly me and our strongest team over to Kanto...we will be saving my son and capturing every rocket. Have Hoopa transport them to the distortion world where I will torture them to breaking point…" he whispered in an ice-cold voice that terrified his two pokemon. They loved the brutal side of the Legend Master, but when his son's life was in danger, not even Arceus could hold him back.

The man then clicked his phone and dialled a number. The line connected with a feminine voice. "Hello, Malva. Don't bother sending anyone to rescue ash...I will do it myself…" he told his secret wife as he immediately hung up on the stunned woman, ignoring her terrified gasp. He then released 4 other pokemon. A Gyarados, Rhyperior, Magmortar, and a pokemon that immediately shot into the sky, completely invisible and glowing a menacing colour. This was his dreaded team that could even take down Arceus at the height of his power and one that Ash would eventually be forced to overcome..."We will leave immediately and we will not stop until I know that my son is safe. Kill anyone that tries to stop us." he then climbed onto the Salamence and whistled to the hidden pokemon. "Don't you dare let yourself be seen...we cannot risk two elements be viewed in the same place," he ordered cryptically as the pokemon revealed its black snout.

"Of course master...whenever have I failed you?" it asked rhetorically as it zoomed away at speeds impossible for any known creature.

Soon after, Mr Ketchum and the rest of his team set off for the Luxury cruiser with death in their eyes.

It was official...

The siege of the SS Anne would be a bloodbath…


(SS ANNE)

The luxury cruise liner that would take you around Kanto had just set sail with all passengers on board. The ship was huge, being the size of multiple Wailords and being decorated in a mixture of white and brown. On the top deck's, there were many battle arenas for the annual pokemon tournament where the winner would receive a fossil pokemon of their choosing and a book about Legendary myths which grabbed the interest of our heroes. The interior of the ship was filled with ruby-red carpets and wallpaper with the floor having a white quartz colour that shone beautifully and highlighted the expensive displays and shopping markets. One would think that it was an impossible task to fit all of this onto one boat, but they somehow managed it, making the SS Anne one of the most sought-after tourist destination in the world.

Ash, Palmer, Leaf, Jessie, James, and the annoying Meowth strolled down the stunning hall, making their way to the main theatre for a welcome speech, courtesy of professor Sycamore, the Kalos region professor and a man obsessed with mega evolution. He was the leader of the regional professors and a former champion, making him not only a genius but an expert battler that ash was excited to listen to. Ash turned to team rocket and sighed. "Remember to stay silent and don't draw attention to yourself. We don't want anyone identifying you and us getting kicked off…" he warned in agitation as the trio of ex-criminals as they saluted him, completely forgetting what he had literally just said.

Palmer laughed at the convicts that were all beginning to grow on him as time went by. At first, they were annoying and rude, but before he knew it, they were all like family to him. It shocked him when he saw the group of trainers acting like a dysfunctional family of sorts as they bickered, flirted, and annoyed each other to kingdom come while they all showed great care and friendship that would make you double take when you realise that they had only been together for 3 months. It had been 3 days since their time at Cerulean city where Ash and Palmer had their awesome battle, but the frontier brain was noticing something completely shocking with two people in particular. The romance was blossoming between ash and the purple-haired agent Jessie as they now hugged each other frequently and often referenced to having sex, making the other flustered and filled with lust simultaneously. He would remember to book a soundproof room tonight to block out the predictably erotic noises coming from the couple.

They arrived at the theatre shortly after with beaming smiles on their faces as they sat in the front row that was cleared because of the presence of Leaf and Palmer who could pretty much do whatever they wanted here. The lights were cut as massive pyrotechnics flared dramatically and covered the crowd with glitter while a spotlight found its way to a middle-aged man that wore a silver lab coat and a dark blue T-shirt. This was professor Sycamore, the lead professor and successful fashion designer of the Kalos region. He was accompanied by a large venusaur that happily nuzzled itself into the man's leg.

Sycamore stepped onto the stage and coughed into the microphone. He spotted Ash out of the corner of his eye and smiled happily, which the teen returned. "Good evening everyone and welcome to our annual cruise of the SS Anne. In tonight's activities, you can buy various accessories for your pokemon and use the bottom deck as a training field," he announced as he received claps from his happy audience. "As you all know; our famous battle tournament is being held tonight with a twist! The winner will receive a copy of each regions legendary pokemon lore book and the rarest fossil in Kanto, the old amber…" the professor said excitedly as the numerous trainers gasped in delight and surprise. "You will only be allowed a single pokemon for this event and you are never allowed to switch. Battles will take place on top deck and only 8 trainers can enter, so you all better think fast!" he cheered as they all saw ash practically flash-step into the entry zone and gave his name to the baffled professor. Everyone else put their names in reluctantly as they all quaked in their boots at the idea of fighting the guy who took down a Darkrai…

The SS Anne's real attraction was its annual battle tournament that gave the winner a very rare prize that would be almost impossible to find anywhere else in the world. There was one problem, however. All of the trainers were weak as hell with most not even having eight badges to show while being mediocre at best in terms of strategy.

Ash was now scouting out the competition with Null who looked massively disappointed with the lacklustre competition. "Well...this is gonna be easy…" he sweatdropped tiredly as his friend nodded in annoyance. If there was anything that Null hated more than his master's enemies, it would definitely be weak opponents, which was probably why he was caught sulking after their joke of a match against Misty that only lasted a pathetic 2 minutes. That wasn't to say that Null would want to be humiliated by Palmer's Blaziken again...once was more than enough...

The pokemon looked up and sighed apathetically while desperately trying to find a trainer that could at least survive a 5% Megahorn. "You said it master...is this even worth fighting?" Null asked in boredom as his trainer shrugged.

Ash turned to face the wolf with a smile that brightened him up instantly. "Perhaps not, but having extra knowledge about the legendaries will be vital to our quest, plus...an Aerodactyle would fit really well in my team…" he said in optimism as the normal type agreed reluctantly. He was always down for a new friend that he could get a decent fight out of. Luckily Ash didn't bring out his whole team that would have probably destroyed the boat in outrage of an insultingly easy challenge.

The air outside was cold from the sea breeze and made it difficult to stay exposed for a long period of time. This series of battles were private and not broadcast to the public, giving off the vacation feel very nicely. The group of trainers really felt cut off from the rest of the world, which was a relief considering all of the fame that their leader Ash would be getting when he managed to defeat Leaf, who had no doubt in her mind that she would quickly be surpassed.

The loud horn resonated in the background, signalling that the participants would need to proceed onto the field and prepare for the matchups. They then made their way down to the field that was a green colour and decorated with trees. The crowd was over 100 people strong with the majority rooting for the pallet native. Ash was very surprised at the size of the arena, being almost as big as a gym room and having terrain for different pokemon types. While ash wasn't expecting anything in terms of a challenge, he would surely try to enjoy this cruise to its fullest potential!

Ash's 1st opponent came up with a cocky smirk that made ash instantly decide which pokemon he would use to put this asshole in his place. "So your Ash Ketchum huh? You don't look so tough to me...hehehe…" he jeered mockingly, receiving boo's from the audience that was all behind the crimson-haired boy. The blonde teen then released a Dewgong from his Pokeball and grinned smugly, but that pompous attitude was immediately dropped when he saw Ash roll his eyes in complete boredom. "D-don't underestimate me you bastard! I am Ryan heartroll from Goldenrod city! I have beaten Blain of the Cinnabar Island gym. I am an elite!" he shouted, failing to mask his panic as he looked into apathetic red eyes.

"Do you actually think I care about your pathetic little accomplishments." ash sneered in disgust as he gripped his Pokeball. "Though I must thank you for providing such brilliant comedy. Beating a region gym leader with a team that is far weaker than his actual set, how utterly stupid…" he chuckled darkly as he tossed his Pokeball to reveal a mighty Charizard that glared down at the shaking boy. "Make sure not to say anything foolish. Piss me off again and my partner here will melt you to cinders…" he warned coldly. The boy started to sweat profusely when he realised that the kid was deadly serious and started to rethink provoking him.

Ryan wasted no time in trying to end the kid's pokemon. "D-dewgong! Use ice beam on that overgrown lizard!" he screamed as his seel fired a turquoise beam of ice at Charizard who seemed to snicker at the pathetic attack. Ash made no effort to save his trusty pokemon that was just as bored as he was. The move hit Charizard dead in the face and landed a critical hit. "Ha! Now who's boss!" he shouted in triumph, not noticing the tail flame that was still dancing in the centre of the mist cloud.

Ash smirked in amusement as he saw Ryan's horrified expression at witnessing his strongest attack deal next to no damage. "How naive...you really think me and Charizard would fall to someone like you? You must be delusional…" he growled as the dragon extended its wing in a menacing fashion that made the opponent gulp loudly. "We have far too much to accomplish. Being defeated by your weak team of misfits would prove that we are just like the rest of these fodder trainers…" he raised his hand and spoke in a deep voice. "Charizard, use fire blast!" he commanded loudly as the dragon produced a huge ball of fire that swallowed the poor seel whole. The impact was enough to warm the sea water below and require a terrain replacement that stunned the crowd, who had all witnessed the power of Ash's most loyal pokemon aside from his trademark Pikachu.

The next trainer was an old man who used to be an orange island champion and put up a fairly decent fight but never even managed to touch the lizard before his Primape was hit with a devastating dragon tail that made a shockwave in its wake. Charizard was now becoming a celebrity in the SS Anne as everyone was loving how strong the Kanto starter had become, while ash was amassing quite the group of fangirls, not that he minded. Unfortunately for the cheerleaders, Leaf and Jessie were both not so keen on sharing their beloved man with any random hussy and the group received a vicious frenzy plant from the Kanto champion who winked at her boyfriend lustfully, still trying to snatch ash's virginity from the ex-rocket woman that had made it a hobby to 'accidentaly' trip her up and embarrass her in public, much to the boy's amusement.

The final trainer, however…

The person was a boy around the age of his former friend Max and wore a nerdy outfit. His hair was pure ginger and he had red glasses that probably enhanced his vision. The kid somehow looked different from the rest as he released his pokemon. What came from the Pokeball was a strong Sharpedo that created a huge crater to swim in. "finally...a challenge…" he sighed as the boy began to speak with a tremble.

He had heard from Serena that this Ash-kid was something else. He thought that he might even be as good as Calem but quickly put that notion to rest. "H-hi...my name's Trevor! I'm from the Kalos region and my hometown is Lumiose city! It's an honour to do battle w-with y-you sir!" he squeaked and bowed quickly. In reality, Trevor was terrified of this boy from the reports around Kanto saying that he was able to stand a chance against the joint strongest trainer in all of Sinnoh. He, Tierno, Shauna, and Calem had all heard about what Serena had unknowingly done to ash, and while they knew that she never intended to hurt him, they all shamed her heavily for it. They all eventually cooled off and went to train as they were planning on entering the Kalos league in 6 years because they had all just started trainer school and it would be a full three years until they would receive their starter pokemon from the stylish professor Sycamore. The little kid had borrowed his fathers pokemon for this tournament so that he could even stand a chance and was over the moon when he had made it to the final, but that happiness lasted mere moments when the final trainer was revealed as Ash who had just won both battles with his Charizard, and that was without even taking to the air.

Ash looked at the frightened child that was shaking like a leaf and sweating like a pig. He looked over in pity and sighed in annoyance. "Why are you so afraid? You seem really strong and you're not arrogant like that smirking little shit in the first round...so what are you trembling for?" he asked rhetorically as Charizard entered the field with a powerful roar. Trevor was in awe of the magical beast that looked down on him with beautiful blue eyes and peered over at ash with a shocked expression. He had never had someone compliment him so honestly as most people would look down on him or cover him with false pity because of his timid nature and nerdy look, along with being the least promising of the 5 students that were under the professor's wing, so it was a huge surprise to see such a strong person show actual respect for him.

The Pallet boy noticed his opponents shocked and slightly grateful expression and decided to continue with his little speech. "Let me guess... you're bullied for your appearance and attitude, correct?" Trevor gawked at the amazing accuracy of the statement as Ash lectured again. "From what I can tell, you're a very strong trainer, or whoever that pokemon belong to...so tell me Trevor...do you want to make that person proud and give me the battle to remember!?" he questioned with amazing intensity.

"YES!" the ginger shouted happily as he readied himself for an explosive battle. They were currently standing on a set of small pillars with a huge sea of water beneath them with Trevor's Sharpedo swimming around, waiting for the fight to start. "Okay, Sharpedo! Start destroying the pillars! If Charizard doesn't have anywhere to stand, we'll have the advantage!" he instructed cunningly as the shark started to demolish the huge rocks with her hard jaws.

The crimson-haired boy was very surprised to see such a good strategy being used in a tournament as easy as this and started to stop underestimating the small child. "Not bad kid...Charizard! Use stone edge on the water!" he shouted as the dragon created huge plates of blue crystal and sent them flying into the bottom of the lake, making swimming a real problem for the water type…

"Shit! Jump up and use Giga impact!" Trevor screamed in return as his pokemon was encased in a purple ray of light and charged at the dragon with impressive speed.

Ash smirked as he pointed his finger at a nearby pillar and Charizard immediately understood while nodding with a grin. The pokemon then somehow caught Sharpedo with his mouth and flung the shark into a dozen rocks, with the opponent taking serious damage. "Never relay a brute strength when fighting a strong opponent. That strength can be used against you, Trevor." he calmly explained to the stunned trainer while secretly quoting the Tower Tycoon, much to the blonde man's amusement. "That Giga impact could have taken out Charizard, but I used the speed and power of that attack and made Charizard re-direct it and fling Sharpedo into those pillars with the same amount of force, so in short, you just damaged yourself with that move…" he said with a devious smirk as the ginger nodded eagerly.

Trevor was in awe at the intelligence that this boy was showing and now put him even higher than Calem who was their strongest friend in the trainer school and the boy who was predicted to be a future champion by the professor himself. "So...awesome…" he whispered in awe as he felt his respect for the Kanto kid skyrocket and his determination to win the battle rise as well. "Okay sharpedo! Don't risk it and use Hydro pump quickly!" he yelled as Charizard didn't have time to avoid the huge torrent of water that appeared out of nowhere. The dragon fell from the sky and only just managed to avoid plummeting into the water by grabbing onto a lone rock with the end of his teeth.

"CHARIZARD!" ash screamed in panic as his pokemon suffered a direct hit and struggled to his feet. "Can you still fight!?" he asked in worry as the dragon gave him a determined thumbs-up. Ash breathed a sigh of relief at the news of his partner's condition and returned to his normal attitude. He looked down at the sharpedo and smirked viciously, gaining a cruel idea when thinking about the hydro pump to his Charizard. "Use flamethrower on the lake!" he grinned as the dragon shot a line of red-hot flames into the water. At first, everyone was confused as to what the hell the boy was planning, but they all paled when they saw that the lake began to boil violently, scalding the water type alive!

"Oh god! Sharpedo! Get out of there!" Trevor screamed as the steaming shark panicked and resurfaced in the air.

"Perfect…"

Ash grinned as Charizard had pure death in his eyes and glared at the shark. "Grab it and use dragon tail!" he commanded coldly as the dragon roared and gripped sharpedo with his tail and slammed him down into the bottom of the lake, fainting it before it hit the seabed.

"Such power…" Trevor gasped in awe as Ash was declared the clear winner, to the surprise of absolutely fucking no one… the timid child withdrew his shark and whispered a greatful line as he walked up to his victorious opponent. "Ash...you were amazing out there! Even professor Sycamore's Charizard couldn't hit harder than that!" he praised truthfully as the boy smiled, unaware of the fuming researcher that was approaching them.

"You didn't have to say it out loud Trevor!" professor Sycamore whined as he skidded to a halt and smiled brightly at the pair of promising trainers. "That was an amazing battle and a feast for the eyes! You both should be very proud of yourselves!" he said happily into the microphone as he revealed two shiny boxes. "Can everyone give it up for our Winner! ASH KETCHUM!" he bellowed loudly, receiving thunderous applause from the ecstatic crowd that showered flowers onto the trio of males. Sycamore then faced ash and smirked eagerly. "Well, ash. Since you are the clear winner, we would like to present your prizes!" the man then un-clipped the black boxes that let out cool blue smoke, which was a feature that the stylish professor had created. He presented 7 total books that were all over 6 inches thick with colourful pictures of the stunning legends around the world. "These are the priceless texts about all of the legendary pokemon that will surely help you on your journey. They are a special gift from Mr Lysandre, my colleague from the Kalos region. He ordered me to present it to the victor of the tournament so here you go!" the professor cheered in a jolly fashion as ash gratefully accepted the stack of useful parchment.

The man then opened the second box to reveal a small Pokeball. "This is an Aerodactyle! The rarest fossil pokemon in all of Kanto and now your new friend! Its moves are Stone Edge, Iron Tail, Dragon Rush, and Seismic Toss! It has already been trained by Lysandre in his lab and comes with the completely unique ability of Tough Claws, which powers up contact moves! A type of attack that Aerodactyle has in bulk!" the man exclaimed in excitement as ash had stars in his eyes.

'An Aerodactyle with Tough claws! That's gonna make all of its moves pack an extra punch!' ash realised mentally as he quickly clipped the Pokeball onto his belt that was now five members strong. He then bowed to the kind professor and turned to Trevor who was shuffling away. "That was an amazing battle Trevor! You almost had me for a second!" he praised as the boy flushed from the kind words. "When I get to Kalos, I'll be sure to have another battle with you!" ash shouted as he pumped his fist. He was truly impressed with the little kid and how strong he was despite his age. If ash could guess, he would probably say that Trevor was almost triple the strength of the equally young Max Maple that was probably wasting away playing video games instead of preparing for the metaphorical shitstorm that was going to rain down on him when the Hoenn league started.

"Sure ash! I'm really sorry about what happened with sere-" he stopped when he realised the older boys darkened face that was in a mixture of sadness and anger. "D-did I say something?" he asked as he backed off from the small leakage of aura that was emitting from him.

Ash sighed and failed to stop the single tear that slipped down his cheek. "No...she was just the one I expected the least...she probably didn't realise what she was doing. Could you just tell her that I said hi?" he asked in a depressed tone that earned a hesitant nod from the ginger who looked on in pity as his new rival masked his sorrow and wore a fake smile to the audience, no trace of what just happened on his face.

Ash shook his head and looked over to the V.I.P room and spotted Palmer, Leaf, and the rocket trio that were all stunned by the amazing battle, and the fact that Ash almost lost. He called over his friends that all congratulated him on the close win and smiled fondly, releasing all of his team. "Okay, everyone! We're going shopping now so where too first?" he chirped as Charizard played his pity card and faked a weak voice, telling the crowd of sweatdropped allies that he wanted cowboy boots for his 'destroyed feet'

Yep...no one was buying those…

The group all ventured into the lower decks of the ship that was colour coded in a golden light, probably signalling that your golden poke dollars will be non-existent by the end of your shopping spree. This was the shopping centre where people could buy almost anything they wanted, ranging from evolution stones to actual pokemon from the game corner that was probably rigged but they would try it anyway. "Wow...it's so big…" Jessie gaped in awe as she pranced around the halls.

"You'll be saying that tonight…" Ash mumbled perversely.

"Did you say something?"

"It's just your imagination Jess…" he smoothly lied as he didn't notice the huge blush on the woman's face.

They entered a clothing store that had all sorts of fashionable designs that Ash's team so desperately wanted. Ash was currently walking down the heavy duty section when he felt Giratina communicate with him. "Hey, master! You should totally get a cool outfit to wear! My recommendations are Black and Gold...for the style of course…" satan lied horribly as his trainer sighed tiredly.

"So even the pokemon gods have a fashion sense?"

"Damn right kiddo! And that suit looks killer on you!" Giratina cheered in excitement as he always wanted ash to wear his signature colours, even if he looked like a total edgelord in the process. "And while we're on that subject...you're still in your awkward virgin phase right?" he asked with a perverted tone as the teen blushed.

"Hey! Well now that you mention it...I'm fairly clueless when it comes to that stuff…" he flushed madly as he pictured the night ahead. The only point of reference he had was when he walked in and got cucked by dawn and Paul which only lasted seconds, and was really depressing to think about, so he really needed a heroic pervert to teach him the ways of porking...but the devil? Seriously? "How would you know anything about it? You're a pokemon!" he hissed mentally.

Giratina chuckled evilly as he finally had an opportunity to corrupt Arceus' golden boy, something he had only fantasised about. "Wanna know the worst thing I ever did to be banished from earth?" he snickered darkly as ash reluctantly nodded and braced himself for a massive reveal or dark secret.

….

….

….

….

"I WAS A MASSIVE PERVERT!"

Multiple tumbleweeds blew over the shopping district as an awkward silence played out.

Ash took a moment to analyze the words that echoed in his head before he gave himself the mother of all facepalms. "You're actually serious as well…" he groaned as Giratina laughed loudly, making the boy even more annoyed.

And so, a full 30-minute long sex lesson was underway with ash learning things that would have you sent to hell one thousand times over, not knowing the crippling depression that the God pokemon was facing…


(HALL OF ORIGINS)

The godly chamber was now filled with the thunderous weepings of Arceus who was mourning over the loss of Ash's innocence. The hall quaked with the loud cries of the depressed pokemon as Void walked in and began laughing hysterically. "THAT BASTARD GIRATINA STOLE MY CHOSEN'S PURITY! HE WILL BE PUNISHED WITH DIVINE JUSTICE!" the god roared in despair as the senseless laughing of his son failed to end.

Void was clutching his stomach as he wheezed out more giggles, even though he was receiving the most powerful glare in existence that would make anyone shit their pants. "Its Giratina, what do you expect! *pant* it was inevitable!" he snickered.

Arceus scowled momentarily before beginning to panic for a worse reason. He noticed the small cracks that began to appear on the man's face with golden light shining down from them. "My son...your body isn't going to last another 5 years...your spirit is soon going to return to your original vessel...there will be no hiding your real self…" he gasped as Void breathed an empty sigh. Something had been nagging on his mind all month and had just come full circle.

"Such is the life of a clone…" Void said as he looked at his palm that was cracked and glowing a golden colour. "You and I both know that I'm just a stand-in for 'you know who' while he is doing all the work." he began as he gritted his teeth. "I'm just his public image! His puppet! My whole life is a lie Arceus!" he shouted in rage as he slammed his fist on the table. "Even though I'm just a fake...I want a life as well! I only give a shit about you and ash because he does! All of these emotions are all borrowed….no one knows the truth behind 'void' the ultimate pokemon trainer...how ironic that he is just a watered down version of the true chosen…." he started to weep.

Arceus had already seen this coming and went to comfort the illusion. "That's enough asta…" he whispered in sorrow.

"Don't fucking dare call me that...name...no...what even is it anymore…" he hissed in anger as he ran a hand through his white locks. He looked up at God and smiled half-heartedly and made for the gates. "I heard from Dialga that Ash's Father is assaulting the SS Anne to prevent his son's capture. But I should warn you….'Arceus'…" he sneered. "Ash will never be the same after tonight. Something horrible is going down on that ship...and not even your oh so precious chosen will be able to stop it…" he muttered as he exited the hall.

The god pokemon was left in stunned silence. Void's only reason for living, being used as a tool for a plan that would never even benefit him. He was a perfect clone of Asta, the divine chosen, who had not returned to the Hall of Origins in over 20 years, with no one except Arceus knowing who the real master was, and therefore developed all of his thoughts and feelings, so why was he so angry and depressed all of a sudden. Surely Asta couldn't be in grief about his own existence? Arceus felt a large pang of guilt hit him in the heart when he remembered his master, the man who ruled over the earth and created Void as a means to manipulate everyone into thinking that the divine chosen was someone else. All of Asta's actions were mirrored with Voids, meaning that anything Asta felt would make Void feel the same way, hence why the artificial human cares so much about the prophecy and ash. Not even Giratina knew about who Void really was and neither did his Evil Team Eclipse that was unintentionally serving a husk of their real leader.

Asta had easily fooled every living thing on the earth and disappeared from existence in order to complete the prophecy while making Void act as his body double. Of course, Void wasn't an exact copy with his facial features being totally different in case anyone recognised him. Arceus just wondered when Ash would take off the mask that was Void...and reveal his arch rival.

Arceus knew that Asta would soon return and expose himself, but he was unsure of when that time was though, and there was also the problem with ash...hopefully he wouldn't release Giratina's seal when he didn't even have the magic power for the dragon to last 30 seconds. The god looked into the space dimension and began to watch the Pallet boy as disaster loomed in the air.


(SS ANNE)

Ash emerged from the clothes shop with a steaming red blush and some Ice-lollies to force down that bastard dragon's throat. He had just listened to one of the most disturbing pep talks in the history of pep talks! The dragon had mentioned positions that ash never thought possible and decided to think them over in his head until the passionate night came, but all that got him was several nosebleeds and the devil giggling at his expense. He looked at his team that had all picked their various clothing items. Charizard wore a red marble necklace that matched his skin, Sceptile had still worn the same scarf but upgraded the garb with silk, Pikachu wore a cap that had a thunderstone atop it, Null wore a black cape that was identical to Ash's own, and Riolu wore a blue Robin Hood hat to honour Sir Aaron's memory. In all honesty, they all looked like total dorks and ash couldn't help but snicker at their ridiculous appearance. He had picked up a large black and red coat with gold trimmings around the edges. He wore a cape that made him look like a total badass...or a weeb... "Hey, guys! Wanna go over to the game corner? I heard the prize is an electabuzz!" he jumped around like a child as they all sighed.

Palmer stepped forward with a cocky smirk as he stuck his tongue out at ash. "Pfft forget it! I am the best gamer here after all!" he exclaimed triumphantly as he had to admit that there was some truth to the arrogant statement as ash had watched numerous times as Barry easily beat Brock in poker back in Sinnoh. Seeing how Ash visibly deflated at the announcement, Palmer took it as a queue to skip over to the gambling corner.

Jessie looked out of the window. It was getting dark and she only had one thing on her mind. Ash was right in her sights as she leaned into him and whispered in his ear. "I can't take this anymore Ash….I'll be waiting in my room~" she quietly moaned as she scampered off to the pairs cabin.

Ash licked his lips in anticipation and gave a knowing glance to his blushing friends as he quickly ran after the agent. He ducked and dived over many passengers as he neared the room. Arriving at the small bedroom, he politely knocked and found Jessie opening the door with drool escaping her mouth. Not a second later, Ash was pulled into the room and began to take his first step in becoming a man…


(LEMON)

Ash fell onto the soft floor with a thud as he groggily came to his senses. He looked up and saw Jessie with needing eyes and a dark patch of liquid under her belt. He grinned at his girlfriend's arousal and decided to just dive right in. "you want me that bad huh?" he teased, not letting her get what she wanted so fast.

The busty woman groaned as she licked his cheek hungrily. "It was hard enough trying to keep my paws off you...but I can't resist my man anymore~" she moaned as she began to undress. She was wearing a white lingerie set that was mouthwatering to look at and had ash in a perverted daze. Jessie grinned with a huge blush as she sat atop his bulging erection. "Like what you see twerp? You can have this any time you want~" she purred as she began to grind on his manhood.

Ash was blushing furiously and remembered Giratina's wise words…

(Que naruto sad theme - flashback)

"What you gotta do...is stick your fist….inside her bu-"

(flashback ended due to unholy content)

We are experiencing technical difficulties…

Ash shuddered at the devils twisted view on lovemaking and shook his head with a burning blush. 'Fuck that shit…' he thought in dread as he turned his attention back to the beautiful agent. "You sure you want this?" he asked caringly as he massaged her silky thighs. Jessie nodded lustfully as they engaged in a heated kiss. Ash had gotten the general idea of how to arouse a woman with kissing but he prefered not to try Giratina's method of squeezing his woman's breasts until they fell off...yeah...me neither… their mouths clashed violently with the purple-haired girl pushing her body closer to her new boyfriend's muscular form. She gripped his cock and rubbed it with her palm, making him moan into her mouth. Ash decided to become bolder as his tongue dove into her mouth and swirled around, fighting for domination. Jessie was pleasantly surprised by this development and didn't mind being the overly submissive one, and the idea of her darkest sexual fantasies being realised was only turning her on more.

Her eyes rolled slightly upwards from the lack of oxygen as their mouths parted. Both of them were panting and Ash looked to be seconds away from viciously pounding her, while Jessie shuffled along the bed and pulled his stiff shorts down to reveal a pulsing boner that had to be over 7 inches long. "Its...huge…" she gasped as she approached her man. She lowered her mouth onto it and slowly began to bob her head while choking from the size. She rapidly fingered her pussy and came from the scent alone. She had been waiting 3 months for this moment and she would be damned if she was gonna let it slip away.

Ash, on the other hand, had his head flipped back as his girlfriend's motions began to become more erotic and swift. She now had his whole length inside her throat and was licking his balls in a slutty manner that almost made him 'bust a nut ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)' from the sight alone. He always wanted a harem like those lucky bastards in anime that, despite their annoying and dense personalities, were able to have the lewdest and hottest girls at their fingertip, and now the Pallet boy had two! He was over the moon and his masculine pride had tripled. 'Now I'm almost happy dawn cheated on me…' he thought with a perverted smile as he felt something strange from his manhood.

His dick was pulsing and doubled in size as he remembered the biology lesson from the damn dragon. "Jessie... I'm gonna blow!" he winced as the woman didn't back away, but instead, buried the shaft inside her throat with drool dripping from her lips. Ash had a sudden malicious smile appear on his face as he saw the woman's submissive appearance and exploded his sperm inside her mouth. He felt oddly excited from the form of his gagging girlfriend that was in the process of swallowing the gooey liquid that covered her lips, was there something wrong with him? "I think I like that look on you J...it makes me wild~" he purred seductively as the girl blushed from the new nickname.

Jessie was panting from the massive amount of man milk that excited her man's penis and decided to pleasure him even more. "Stay there baby...let me do the rest~" she moaned as she slipped the long shaft inside her soaking pussy, making her cry out in ecstasy. "S-so good~" Jessie groaned as she started to ride his cock greedily, cumming from the contact. She was not expecting Ash to grab her throat and pin her down on the bedsheets, penis still deep inside of her stomach. He was smirking like a devil and licked his lips seductively while putting his hands on her massive jugs. "A-ash! What are y-you doing?" she panicked while also hiding her arousal of being dominated.

While the crimson child was loving the sensation of his girlfriend's perfect walls, something inside of him refused to be underneath the girl in the sexual act. "I will be in control...understand?" he growled as he gripped her jaw and saw the woman nod slowly with half-lidded eyes. "Tell me what you want J…" ash snarled into her ear as he licked her neck. Jessie was beyond aroused with this completely new side of her lover and neglected to mention that this was exactly what she wanted.

She panted like a dog in the heat as she spread her flower with a smirk. "Take me Ash...make me your woman~" no sooner than that lustful sentence was uttered, ash slammed his manhood deep inside her and began thrusting at an alarming pace. He ripped the bra and panties straight off of her and sucked on her tits, making her scream in bliss while she rubbed her clit. "Ahhhh fuck me harder ash!" she exclaimed while sucking her hand like she had lost all reason. She never dreamed that such an innocent boy would be this dominant and possessive with her, and while she was very afraid of her lover, she couldn't deny the huge waves of pleasure that were coursing through her veins. She started to move her hips in sync with his rhythm and traced her hands around his refined muscles while kissing him passionately.

Ash grinned as he knelt down and whispered in her ear while he continued to relentlessly pound her G spot, making the poor female yell in a loud orgasm. "You are my woman now….you won't ever let another man touch you again, understand?" he asked intensely as she nodded. "I'm gonna fuck you so hard, you won't be able to stand!" he announced as he reached even deeper into her body and smacked her violently.

"YES! You're the only one for me ash! I'm your's now so you better take responsibility!" she cried as her tongue hung from her mouth. "Please make me cum!" she screamed as their movements became faster. She was strangely enjoying the boy's commanding presence and fully submitted to his will as she felt her womb being poked by the huge member.

He was breathing raggedly and still plunging his cock further inside when he felt the same feeling. "Where do you want it?" he breathed lustfully as the woman looked into his eyes and gave him a long kiss that almost made him flip her over and use the other hole.

She had truly lost herself in lust as she let a slutty smile pass her lips. Tiny pink hearts could be seen in her eyes as she looked at her lover with a delighted moan "Inside! Fill me up!" she gasped with her head thrown back in bliss.

He instantly exploded inside her warm, sticky walls that had finally tasted his juices that they so wanted, and the stream of cum was so large that it made a small bump in her stomach. He sat up and caressed the body of his lover. He breathed a sigh of contempt. Sex really was great huh…. "Holy shit...that was amazing J…" he then flushed madly at the line he was about to say. He had spent all this time with his former enemy and began to feel a strange way inside his heart. He tried to brush it off, but as the days rolled by, he couldn't control the raging emotions he felt for this girl. He needed to get it off of his chest and hope to Arceus...wait...Giratina...that he would be accepted, unlike his past girlfriend that left him in the dirt. "I think I love you…" he smiled warmly as he was steamrolled by the overjoyed Rocket agent who smothered him in between her large breasts and cried tears of happiness as she finally heard the words she had wanted to be spoken all this time.

She gave him the most caring kiss yet as she spoke in a shaky voice with tears streaming down her pretty face. "A-ash...I love you too!" she squealed like a child as she squeezed the man of her dreams tightly and refused to let him go. They melted into each other's embrace and were both tempted to screw each other's brains out a second time but they quickly looked at the time and realised that they had been 'porking' for over 3 hours.

Leaf was in the next room and couldn't help but get off to the animalistic moans coming from the new couple and had pictured ash dominating her as well. She never thought of the more disturbing and lewd side of sex before, but now she was considering binge-watching a hentai collection. The Kanto champion never thought that ash would be so amazing at sex judging from the deafening moans of pure ecstasy coming from the next room and the possessive orders he was giving Jessie that made him sound like some sort of protagonist in a perverted manga. It made her shudder in arousal when her crush whispered those heartfelt words from his perfect body. She wished that she would be treated the same, both sexually and emotionally.

Ash sucked on the woman's nipple like he was still a little baby, making Jessie moan in delight and run a tender hand through his beautiful crimson hair. "Hey J...I know that this is really out of place but…" he stuttered nervously as he cast the most adorably innocent look to the agent who swooned. "W-w-w-will y-you b-be my g-g-g-g-g-g-girlf-f-friend!" he was barely able to form a complete sentence as both lovers lit up like a Christmas tree.

Jessie giggled at the ridiculous question that her lovely little boy blurted out. She had never heard that since grade school and the moment was too funny to not laugh at. She suddenly stopped when ash glanced over to his belt and smirked darkly. 'Fuck that…' she thought with a shudder as she hugged him again, planning to avoid a hard and kinky spanking. "Of course I will twerp~" she moaned into his ear.

(LEMON END)

She was about to get dressed in her nightgown when ash dived in front of her at the last second.

Avoiding a ball of acid that was aimed for her head…


(5 MINUTES EARLIER / NEAR THE SS ANNE)

About 20 miles from the cruiser, on a deserted island the size of a small town, stood over 2000 Team Rocket troops with their pokemon all looking for blood. They had all been ordered by Giovanni himself to kill every last person on the SS Anne and kidnap Ash Ketchum who had caught their leader's attention. The main worry that was concerning them was running into the Tower Tycoon and the Kanto champion that was travelling with the boy. Only the four admins could beat Leaf and no one stood a chance against Palmer so they needed to avoid the big guns at all costs.

5 figures were standing atop the mountain and looked down at the luxury ship. Archer, Ariana, Proton, Petrel, and an armoured pokemon were leading the assault and were about to commit the worst crime since AZ built the ultimate weapon that killed almost all pokemon on earth. Archer looked on and smiled as he withdrew a Talonflame from his belt. "This is it everyone...this is where we put team rocket back on the map…" he grinned in anticipation as he received nods from his co-admins and cheers from the fodder grunts.

Ariana released a honchkrow that squawked into the night sky and turned to her captain. "Right. I'm really looking forward to how ash deals with over 2000 pokemon. If he manages to defeat one of us...he has easily earned my respect…" she added as she checked her watch and waited for the signal.

"I wonder if the rumour about his father is true. If so, he will surely be a force to be reckoned with…" proton smirked as he threw a Pokeball into the water, revealing a Lapras.

The final member of the elite group stumbled onto the cliff like a drunk as he received annoyed stares from his comrades. "I can't wait to murder those damn traitors…" Petrel growled as he released a Crobat into the air.

Archer turned his attention over to the armoured pokemon who was trembling in grief. "Oh don't worry Mewtwo...you'll see your friend again soon~" he mocked to the seething creature who was being completely controlled by the admin through his armour.

Mewtwo glared at the smug adult and tried to snap the man's neck with psychic energy, only to receive a near-lethal shock of electricity from the blue-haired agent. "Don't mention ash you scum...I hope he kills you all in the worst way possible…" he scowled as he was overcome with shame at the fact that he had been captured by humans for a second time. About a year after the events of New Island, the artificial island was invaded by Giovanni and the clone was captured with the combined efforts of all team rocket agents across the world. Ash had saved him twice and this is how the great legend repays him? Pathetic…

A huge air siren rang out and alerted the army of criminals. Archers smirk turned malicious as he turned to the massive horde of Rocket troops and raised his fist in a salute. "Today is where team rocket emerges from the ashes of 5 years ago! This is where the world will fear us once more! This is where we capture the son of the legend master! For glory! For greed! And for our leader Giovanni!" he screamed passionately as every human shouted cheers in reply. The strongest soldier in the whole of team rocket climbed onto his beastly Talonflame and shot a black and red flare into the sky.

The signal was out…

Team Rocket was back with a burning vengeance…


(SS ANNE)

Ash checked for any injuries as he knelt over his lover who narrowly avoided a lethal sludge bomb from a Crobat that was striking the ship with huge beams of energy. He was relieved to find only a small 1st-degree burn on her arm. "Jessie! We're being attacked by someone! We need to find Palmer and Leaf!" he shouted as she weakly nodded in agreement and ran out of the room with her boyfriend. Ash could hear horrified screams of people who just watched their friends or family get melted by purple piles of sludge and could see paramedics desperately trying to save dying passengers from blood loss. It was horrible and something ash never thought he would live to see. One moment, he was having the best night of his life, and the next, he was fighting for his life against a mystery opponent while stepping over dead bodies that were melted to the bone, making him want to vomit. "Who could even think of something so horrible…" he whispered to himself in dread as they ran to find their friends.

Jessie was developing a sinking feeling inside her stomach as she swore that she had heard that mad laugh in her days as a pawn of Giovanni but quickly buried the scary thought deep within her mind. They quickly found Leaf in the 3rd-floor lobby as she and her Venusaur were fighting off multiple golbats that fired Air Slashes at the pair. Her whole team were gathered in a circle with the champion in the middle and were firing off attacks from all sides. This looked like a messed up free for all and they needed to find the culprit responsible before the ship sunk to the bottom of the ocean…

Ash ran up and hugged the champion with all he had as he gripped her shoulders. "We need to find Palmer now and get up to the deck! The sooner we find them, the better…" he said seriously as the brunette nodded swiftly and followed him up the stairs in search of the frontier brain. They spotted several pokemon fighting each other and blood pouring from the ceiling, signalling that most of the carnage was happening upstairs while they were feeling a huge increase of temperature coming from the bottom of the cruiser. Things were far worse than some criminal raid...this was a full-blown terrorist attack!

Ash and the gang sprinted across the floor, and to their horror, dead bodies, and made it to the 4th floor where he saw his new friend Trevor battling, and losing, to a huge Lapras. "Trevor! We'll help you!" ash called out as the trainer breathed a sigh of relief that turned to panic when his Sharpedo was shot across the hall by an ice beam. Ash peered over the fainted shark to see a turquoise-haired man that had the horrid symbol of team rocket patterned on his black uniform. Ash recognised this man from the wanted posters in Johto and felt a chill run up his spine. This was Proton, the Ice Master of Team Rocket and one of its feared admins that could match the elite four in strength. "Why is team rocket attacking us!" he questioned in anger as the man walked up to them and smirked.

"Why? Well isn't that obvious...son of the legend master?" Proton mocked as the whole group of trainers paled. "Our boss Giovanni watched your 3 recent gym battles and wants to recruit you into Team Rocket where he will shower you with money, pokemon, and loads of wome-"

I'm not interested in joining that bastard or any of your disgusting group." ash sneered as he became confused when the executive started to laugh hysterically.

Proton was gasping for breath as he laughed loudly at the oblivious trainer. "That's exactly what your father said to us 10 years ago...word for word…" the agent snickered darkly as he watched in amusement as the tanned boy widened his eyes in shock. His Lapras then returned into its Pokeball and was replaced by a strong weavile that roared into battle. "I was sent here on orders from our boss, along with my fellow admins and around 2000 grunts to kidnap you and forcefully make you a member of team rocket...but it seems you are just as stubborn as that man...out of respect for your father, I will use my strongest pokemon against you. If you manage to defeat that...I will allow you to move forward to the deck…" he chuckled as ash released his Charizard and Leaf released her Rapidash.

"Now Weavile! Use night slash quickly!" he commanded as the weasel darted through the room and made a B-line for the two fire types.

Ash saw how fast the pokemon was moving and realised that this guy must be approaching Leaf's level, which meant that he couldn't take any chances. "Charizard use stone edge as a barrier and support rapidash!" he shouted in return as the lizard formed a huge crystal wall in front of the attacker and smashed its tail against it which made the wall crack and shoot huge bullets of crystal at the now panicking Weavile.

Leaf smirked at the tactical approach and decided to help out. "Start with wild charge!" she said confidently as rapidash enveloped itself in a yellow glow of electricity and charged at blinding speeds, heading straight for the weavile that braced itself.

"That's all the Kanto champion has? Your nothing compared to Red!" Proton laughed. "Weavile, dispose of them with poison jab!" he called out as weavile dashed in between the rocks and rapidly hit the charging rapidash in the neck, causing the horse to reel in pain.

Ash was starting to get frustrated as this battle was just a waste of time. He needed to find Palmer and the two rockets before they were killed by the overwhelming force of the evil team's many pokemon. "Charizard! Use fire blast on that wall and fly us to the top!" he shouted at the dragon as it nodded instantly and boarded everyone onto its scaley back and flew off, strangely without Proton in pursuit. Ash sighed in relief as he turned to his friends with a grim expression. "That guy was really holding back on us and he even managed to win in a 2 on 1 battle...those admins are really strong…" he shakily whispered as Leaf went to comfort him with a warm hug.

"It's okay ash...we never knew he would be so skilled compared to the other rockets…" she sighed as she quickly kissed him on the cheek. They were all in shock that the team that was considered weakest of the seven regions was strong enough to hold back both the Kanto Champion and the powerful ash Ketchum. The trainers flew up on Charizard and made their way to Palmer, unaware of the laughing admin below…

Proton recalled weavile and wiped his brow that was covered in sweat. "Phew...that was a close call. Lucky that it's Archer who's supposed to capture him... I need to remember that I'm only stalling for that pink bastard to come down and squash him…" he sighed as he missed an opportunity to test the promising trainer's capabilities. "He's still not strong enough to face team rocket...but I don't know how fast he will ascend in power." he mused aloud as he scratched his chin in annoyance. It was only a glimpse, but Proton knew that he saw that Ash's Charizard had totally eclipsed Leaf's rapidash in power, which made him wonder if the boy would be able to take on archer and maby even the boss himself in mere months. Wearing a satisfied smirk, the executive strolled down the stairs in an effort to slaughter more innocence and put him ahead of Petrel in the kill tally that the two were always battling over.


Charizard dropped the group of trainers on the east side of the cruiser where all of the carnage was taking place. The squad of humans were greeted by a scent of poison and strong winds coming from the casino area near the top and were determined to find the source of the problem, but they couldn't help but worry about the stench of death and the blazing fire coming from the opposite end of the ship. They were shocked to find Palmer battling two trainers at once, being petrel and Ariana who were using their group advantage to overpower the tower tycoon despite his incredible strength. "Palmer!" ash shouted as he released his whole team. He was tempted to release Giratina, but couldn't risk the world knowing about him. He judged the purple haired man to be slightly weaker than Proton, but the woman in red was easily several times stronger than her partner and even better than Leaf.

"W-what the hell is that thing!" Ariana gasped as she pointed at Null who was getting ready to kill the woman.

Ash didn't bother giving an answer as everyone else released their teams and readied themselves for battle. "Good to know that you have my back Ketchum." palmer smirked as his milotic bodied a muk into the wall with a hydro pump. His Rhyperior was busy rescuing injured people and his braviery was battling with a talonflame in the storage unit of the ship. Things were looking grim for both sides and they needed some sort of leverage to push ahead. They were all now engaged in a huge group battle where one wrong move would result in their lives being lost.

Ariana and petrel backed off from the horde of pokemon and grimaced. "This is bad...they outnumber us 3 to 1...we need to do something!" Ariana growled as she dodged a dragon pulse from mega sceptile.

"Well Duh! Let's do 'that'..." petrel answered as she nodded and the admins prepared to activate their trump cards. They both pushed a button on their waist and glowed a golden colour while their pokemon did the same. What the horrified group of trainers saw was a mega Gengar and pidgeot that landed with a bang. The two pokemon were far stronger than the rest and seemed to also possess more skill which made the trainers nervous about the result of this battle. "Gengar kill them!" petrel shouted as the ghost type blasted them with a powerful shadow ball that hit a hole in the ship. They all realised that not only will they be fighting against the odds, but if they went all out, the ship would be completely destroyed.

Ash looked around and sent riolu out to support his team as the little pokemon glared at the mega evolved beasts. "Riolu, use bone rush on Gengar!" he said strongly as the Pokemon vanished in a blue blur and made a bone-like staff that came swinging down on Gengar's exposed skull that was distracted by Charizard and couldn't block in time. The speed of the Sinnoh fighter shocked Ariana and petrel who started to take the battle seriously. Soon after the successful hit, ash saw the mega pidgeot swoop down from the top deck and dive straight down. "Shit! Riolu watch out!" he shouted, but it was too late as she was hit by a wing attack that sent the pokemon flying back. "Switch out buddy...your no match for them!" he shouted to the pokemon that weakly stood up and ran straight back into the fight.

"I can't master! I need to prove yourself!" she hissed back as she dodged an energy ball from the recently recovered Gengar.

"By getting yourself killed!? Don't be a fool riolu!" he snapped in rage as he watched his pokemon take hit after hit from the two pokemon. Palmer and leaf were now down to their last pokemon and Trevor was completely out of strength. James and Meowth were both spent with nothing to do and blood running from their faces. The defeat was certain if ash couldn't pull something out of the hat at the last second. Null, Charizard, Aerodactyle, and Sceptile were dealing with the whole of Ariana's team while ash and riolu were left alone against two mega evolved pokemon.

Riolu clutched her stomach that was rapidly losing blood as she weakly fired off aura spheres at the pokemon that were both toying with her at this point. She was completely out of energy and gasping for breath as she huddled up in a ball from the huge amount of blood that was drained from her frail form. Ash looked over in horror as the scene was identical to the way her mother died and things only got worse when he saw Petrel raise his arm with a cruel smirk. "Haha! And you thought you could beat Giovanni! Pathetic! Gengar, kill the child!" he cackled as a huge hyper beam zoomed straight for the dying Pokemon.

Ash panicked as he watched the devastating beam race towards his pokemon. 'I have to do something!' he screamed mentally as he sprinted towards his friend at speeds that were not considered humanly possible. He shielded the pokemon with his body, and to everyone's amazement, created a forcefield that pushed the attack back. He turned to the bleeding pokemon who was looking into the blazing eyes of her trainer with an unparalleled amount of happiness. "You IDIOT! HOW CAN YOU JUST BETRAY MY TRUST LIKE THAT! You would have died if not for me…" he slowly began to simmer down his temper as he hugged the shocked aura user. He was overcome with a mixture of negative emotions when he saw his partner try to sacrifice herself for an honourable death, and just like his weaker self, he put someone else's life in front of his own. It was a complete repeat of when he dived into the huge explosion made from mew and mewtwo all to stop their childish spat. It seemed that he hadn't grown much at all…

Ariana and petrel both looked on in awe as they saw the kid just jump into their huge attack. they were now beginning to understand why Giovanni was so crazy about fighting this kid, and they were completely shell-shocked when they witnessed the boy create a barrier out of some unknown force that was able to hold back an incredibly strong hyper beam that could have killed all of his friends that were equally shocked by the display of power.

Riolu was getting a strange feeling inside her chest that felt familiar to the cave inside Mt Moon and got up slowly as she faced her trainer. She was crying but somehow felt able to topple a mountain. This mental assurance was completely alien to her but that wasn't a problem. She looked over to her trainer who was struggling to hold off the hyper beam. He was barely staying conscious as he was the only thing stopping the beam of death from killing them both. Only one solution came to mind at that moment. She had to protect him! "Master...thank you for protecting a failure like me…" she said with steel in her voice as she stepped out of the shield. "You give me strength that I have never felt before…" she continued as her voice began to turn deeper and more mature. Ash gasped in awe as she was completely engulfed in majestic blue light. The small pokemon began to grow bigger and bigger as it developed steel spikes on its chest and legs, She grew a grey fur that covered parts of her body like an armour, her ears flopped down like they were locks of hair, and her muscles grew tenfold. "Now allow me to repay you!" Lucario bellowed into the air as the whole ship shook from the power of the battle cry. The fox smirked at her shocked trainer as he slowly joined her and let the attack fly into the sea.

Ash couldn't contain his smirk as he watched his formerly weak pokemon just easily surpass even palmers milotic that was very intimidated by the new appearance of the blue fighter. Lucario was now easily the strongest pokemon in Ash's team and stood in its form 4 battle stance that scared the crap out of her opponents. "Alright, Lucario! Target them both and use aura sphere!" he called out triumphantly as the two rockets paled. A huge ball of blue energy was instantly generated from the palm of her hand and shot at the speed of sound, blasting the two mega pokemon and fainting them instantly. "Now bone rush!" Lucario formed an even longer staff than before and charged at the duo of criminals that made their pokemon shield their escape.

Ariana and Petrel ran as fast as they could as the fox charged up a flash cannon that blew off a chunk of the cruisers left side, much to their horror. "ALL FORCES RETREAT! ASH KETCHUM IS TOO STRONG!" Petrel screamed into his earpiece as he heard a chuckle from the level headed archer who was decimating the rear of the ship. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LAUGHING AT YOU SMUG BASTARD! WE'RE GOING TO DIE!"

"Quiet down you fool...it is expected that ash would be even stronger than you 3...but his luck is about to run out…... I want you to kill one of his friends to set him off...it will give me the opening to capture him…" the captain of the admins hissed at his subordinate who immediately gulped at the ice cold voice. "If by some miracle, he actually manages to cause me some trouble...we will call in mewtwo and kill him...tell Giovanni that he drowned in the wreckage…" he chuckled darkly as the line abruptly cut off with the sounds of people screaming for help while they were being burned alive, the last thing that they heard…


Ash and the others were given just enough time to collect themselves before disaster struck the ship. Rhyperior had returned after rescuing countless civilians while Braviery came back heavily damaged with burn marks as it managed to defeat the strong talonflame that was swooping in and setting the side of the boat on fire with multiple flare blitz, and milotic was panting after successfully defending against 6 highly trained pokemon. The rocket trio was over the moon as they were able to take out Petrels wheezing using 3 pokemon of their own which was a great accomplishment for them, and Trevor was shaking in awe at the pure destruction that had taken place. Ash's team was the best off as they had all survived the attack with minimal injury with the admins only targeting Palmer. Leaf shakily walked up to ash who was hugging Lucario that beamed from the attention. "Ash...we need to get off thi-"

KKKKRRRRRSSSSSSGGGGRRRRRRR!

A huge explosion was heard from the very front of the ship and they could see a huge tornado of fire ravaging the ship below. "What the hell was that!?" Palmer gasped as he turned his attention to the flames. He could faintly hear terrified screams coming from the front of the deck and knew that he needed to be there as fast as possible. He nodded to ash and leaf as they all sprinted in the direction of the chaos, unaware of the opponent they would be facing…


They all raced up to the front of the ship as they were met with the worst sight of the night. Thousands upon thousands of bodies laid in a charred heap with blood staining the wooden planks that were formerly clean. They could faintly hear the groans of people that were inches away from death and grimaced at the utter hell that they were witnessing. They could hear two pokemon battling as they turned the corner to find another terrifying image. Professor was knelt down, spitting blood as he was being kicked on the ground by the final rocket admin who had short blue hair with a high collar, signalling that he was the leader of the group. His magmortar had its cannon aimed at the head of the limp professor, showing zero signs of empathy or mercy.

"LET HIM GO!" Trevor yelled in agony as he watched the father figure cough up bile.

The man turned around and showed his pulsating green eyes that haunted each one of them to their core. He wore the same white uniform as Ariana but it had a small crest that could have been mistaken for a pen, but ash, Palmer, and leaf all knew that it was a mega ring. "So you finally showed up…" Archer spoke up with a strange tone that could have been mistaken as pride towards the pallet boy. His magmortar glared at the boy angrily as he had interrupted their execution. "Take out the news crew in the sky…" he spat ruthlessly as the pokemon fired an orange ball of flames that crashed into the small helicopter that was broadcasting the awful events to not only Kanto but the entire world. "I apologize for my moronic underlings...I specifically told them not to lay a finger on you…" he continued as he pointed out ash's large wound on his leg. "Forgive me for not doing this sooner...my name is archer, the leader of the rocket admins and second strongest member of our great organisation behind Giovanni himself. We came solely to capture you as my boss thinks that you would provide the fight that he has lusted for all these years. He was completely lost when red took us down with gold finishing the job two years ago and couldn't find anyone worthy of defeating him since. He had always tried but no one could ever beat him until you appeared. You have reignited his passion for pokemon battling and he wants nothing more than to fight you at the peak of your strength." he paused as a smirk covered his face. "And that is why I am here; to see if you are truly worthy of facing our great leader in a pokemon battle...so come and face me...or I'll kill all of your friends in cold blood…" he snarled as magmortar loaded its cannon.

Ash gulped at the news and judged his opponent. He could tell that he was no match for the man as he easily beat him, leaf, Ariana, Proton, and Petrel in power and could be put in the same league as Palmer. This was when they all realised that he was the cause of all of the ruin and destruction that befell the half-sunken SS Anne that was beginning to near the bottom of the ocean. "You're not really giving me a choice asshole…" he growled as Archer just chuckled in dark amusement. "Go Charizard!" he yelled as the dragon exploded into the battlefield with a fierce roar, but to Ash's surprise, neither Archer or Magmortar flinched at all. "Flamethrower!" he shouted as a torrent of flames shot towards the pokemon.

"Counter with dark pulse…."

The two attacks met in the middle with the dark pulse easily overpowering Charizards blast and hitting the dragon dead in the face. 'Damn...he's way stronger than us...I can't rely on the brute force anymore!' he cursed mentally as Charizard groggily got up from the blast. "Okay then...Charizard! Use stone edge to launch him in the air!" he shouted as Archer widened his eyes in shock. The huge pillars of crystal (look at the XY anime for proof/ they are crystal) shot towards the huge fire type and emerged from the ground, knocking Magmortar into the sky with sheer power alone.

"WHAT!" the level-headed Archer finally lost his cool as he gaped at the pokemon.

"DRAGON TAIL!" ash bellowed as Charizard flew up, let out a deafening roar, and slammed its tail into the airborne pokemon as it plummeted into the ocean at a high speed. Everyone was in shock as they saw the executive's FIRE TYPE sink into the blue water of Kanto.

Archer never expected a move like that, but he was foolish for not foreseeing it as they were on a boat after all. "No matter...Magmortar! Use dragon pulse to boost yourself out of the water!" he shouted as everyone saw a rainbow glow from the sea as a huge eruption took place, drenching water over everyone and weakening Charizard in the process while Magmortar shakily rose from the ground, covered in water.

This didn't faze ash who just smirked. "Don't let it recover Charizard! Use dragon claw!" he shouted loudly as the beast zoomed over to the prone pokemon with a deadly glint in his eyes.

Archer was somehow enjoying the fight with this by, despite losing and could see just why Giovanni was so determined to recruit him. It was well known that Archer had no intention of letting the Pallet native live on because he almost felt insulted that some nobody trainer could grab his amazing boss's attention so easily. He only wanted the best trainer to fight his boss for the sole reason that Giovanni would be extremely brutal in battle if the trainer turned out to be disappointing in strength, and it was a fairly common occurrence because Giovanni was almost on the level of the top champions and the strongest ground type trainer on the world which was one of the main reasons why Archer respected the mob boss so much, but this Ash Ketchum was completely different from the rest of the fodder that he had faced. The boy showed amazing strategy and skill in battle, being able to successfully challenge and push back Proton that was a formidable trainer, and his ability to make two Executives run away like scared children. "I see now Ash Ketchum...you are truly a good trainer...you have earned my respect!" he shouted happily as he watched Charizard near closer to his target. "Meet Charizard with thunder punch!" he commanded confidently as the two pokemon collided.

Charizard managed to land a strike on Magmortars face, leaving a nasty scratch mark and a sizable amount of blood dripping from its flaming face. Magmortar, on the other hand, landed a super effective thunder punch straight into the dragon's gut as they both winced from the massive amount of pain. They were both near collapse and it was now or never for the two trainers. "Get up and use stone edge full power!" ash screamed.

"Power Gem!" archer returned as the two attacks collided for a final time…

When the huge dust cloud cleared, the viewers all gaped in shock. Both pokemon were out cold and the attacks didn't even connect, they fainted from pure exhaustion.

Archer was in shock. He never thought that ash Ketchum would actually take out one of his strongest pokemon, but this battle wasn't over. "That was amazing Ash...you truly are worthy of facing Giovanni…" he gasped as he threw another Pokeball. What came out was an infernape that roared into battle with a grin. "This pokemon is far stronger than my Magmortar so don't get cocky!" he shouted as the ape banged his chest like a gorilla.

Ash grinned. He could tell that this man was different from the others who were mere pawns for Giovanni's personal use. He seemed to be following his own orders and ash could respect that, despite the complete carnage that he had created, and the boy had to admit that he was thoroughly enjoying this explosive battle. 'So he's a fire type trainer huh?' he wondered as he grabbed another Pokeball from his bag and prepared to test his newly acquired Electabuzz that Palmer had gifted him from the game corner. "And you're far better than the other admins, that's for sure, but I will win this!" he shouted as the humanoid electric type burst from the ball. "You're up Electabuzz!" he called out as the pokemon grinned. Pokemon at the game corner were all modified to be unbreakably loyal to their trainer and match their personality down to the letter.

"That's exactly what I want to hear!" archer shouted back excitedly as he began to feel a happy feeling enter his body. "Start off with a brick break!" he commanded swiftly as the monkey vanished from the place and began to deliver swift chops to Electabuzz who was barely able to keep up. Eventually, one of the blows landed and struck the pokemon straight in the ribs, making Electabuzz cry out in pain.

Ash winced at the blow and was surprised to see the electric type able to groggily get up with infernape standing over it menacingly. "Okay! Use discharge on the whole arena!" he countered as his pokemon let off a ray of electricity that caught infernape while it was cockily mocking the downed creature.

The monkey shakily rose from its place and glared hatefully towards the pokemon as it was enveloped in a shock of lightning. It was paralyzed…

Archer cursed his bad luck and silently applauded the witty manoeuvre as he smirked. "Flare blitz full power!" he shouted at his pokemon that shot from the place and surrounded itself in a blue flame. It charged from the spot and within only a second, crashed into electabuzz, sending it into the railings of the ship, knocked out cold… "it seems that your electric type is...inexperienced?" he asked curiously, begging to be right as that pokemon was laughably weak, and was relieved when the boy nodded in annoyance. "That's just fine...bring out your next pokemon…" he said coldly as infernape bellowed into the night sky that was now filled with news helicopters that were shocked to see ash Ketchum facing off against Giovanni's prodigal son that was above certain champions in strength. The whole world was watching this battle in shock while the whole ship was slowly sinking to the bottom of the ocean and the two trainers standing on the very top.

"Aerodactyle! I choose you!" he shouted into the air as the dinosaur launched into the sky with a deafening screech. The grey creature glared down at the fighting type hatefully as it awaited its trainer's orders. "Keep your distance with a stone edge!" the boy commanded loudly as the pokemon swooped down and dropped several crystals from the air, making it almost impossible for infernape to dodge.

"Hmph...not bad…" Archer smiled. "Flamethrower!" he shouted confidently as the ape breathed a huge line of fire that intercepted the huge pillars of blue rock. Both pokemon suffered mild damage as they grimaced. Aerodactyle grimaced at the burn that he had just contracted and Infernape scowled at the wind that exited his lungs when a crystal hit him in the stomach. "Continue with brick break!" he said loudly as the monkey instantly dived for the airborne pokemon and smashed it into the wall.

"AERODACTYLE!" ash yelled in panic as the pokemon limped back to its feet. It was barely hanging on and it was quite obvious that the pre-historic creature couldn't go on much longer. "Use dragon rush quickly!" he screamed angrily as the dinosaur shot straight for the infernape and glowed a rainbow colour, going head first into the monkey. It quickly twirled around to avoid a potential brick break and descended back to the floor.

"Bad move ash…" the aquamarine man smirked. "Close combat!" he laughed as infernape ran straight for the downed pokemon and relentlessly pummeled it into the wooden floor of the ships top deck. Everyone watched in horror as the dinosaur slowly lost consciousness and flopped to the ground in a wheezing mess.

"Return…" ash mumbled as he felt like a little wire had snapped within his body.

"That was a good battle...return infernape…" archer bowed gratefully as ash saw him hold a final Pokeball. "You have earned my utmost respect...and for that...you are able to witness my strongest pokemon in all of its devilish glory…" he chuckled darkly as a houndoom prowled into view. The crowd of rocket agents and trainers alike were stunned to see a huge collar on the dog that seemed to be far stronger than the rest of the captain's pokemon. "NOW HOUNDOOM! MEGA EVOLVE!" he screamed powerfully as the dog began to morph into a far more powerful version of itself. It gained far larger horns that looked like that of a demon and developed a huge chest-plate that looked to be made from bones.

"DOOOOOMMM" it screeched into the sky, making everyone shudder at the shockwave that emitted from its howl.


In the other end of the ship, Petrel and Ariana were sprinting for the battle that their leader was facing. They could have never predicted that the boy was so strong and if not for the convenient evolution of his riolu that completely demolished them when it transformed into a Lucario.

They had just received orders from Archer to kill one of Ash's friends in an effort to distract him, giving their leader a window to capture him.

Little did they know….they were about to all make the worst mistake of their lives…


Ash unclipped his Pokeball and sent out Lucario who glared at the pokemon. "Okay partner...MEGA EVOLVE!" he shouted as the pokemon aura skyrocketed to impossible levels and made everyone pale in fear. "Aura sphere combined with flash cannon!" he said in a booming voice as everyone gaped when they saw the fox generate a mixture of blue and silver energy that houndoom was only just able to dodge. Ash didn't give it any breaks though as Lucario made a bone staff and rushed towards him.

"How interesting...a mega Lucario that is so skilled that it can fuse moves together? I must say that you have quite the amazing team ash…" the executive grinned as houndoom scowled in jealousy. "Fire blast!" he called out as Lucario managed to dodge a huge explosion of flames from the hellhound. "Rapid fire blasts!" he continued as the massive attacks became more frequent and more powerful.

Lucario was soon overwhelmed by the huge attacks and braced itself for the impact. "Use your staff to shield yourself from the fire!" ash shouted as the fox nodded and jammed her bone into the ground and halved the damage of the devastating fire blast. "Now get in close and use bullet punch!" he finished as Lucario charged into the fire and made her fists turn to mere blurs with the impossible speed. "Don't let up and give them some karma for aerodactyle!" ash commanded with a smirk as the punches became more intense and sped up to the point that a small shockwave of wind blew all of the humans back.

Archer was too amazed to comment on the amazing pokemon and settled for watching the two mega's fight it out. The news crew up in the sky were having a field day with the battle putting most champion challenges to shame and the two mega pokemon firing off moves that would make some legendaries jealous. "Incredible!" Archer gasped as he was filled with an excitement that he never felt since he was a small child. "Grab its fist and throw it into a wall!" he shouted as houndoom latched onto one of the stray punches and sent Lucario into the ship's command room with a thud.

The pokemon looked unaffected as they both stood at a stalemate. Archer walked up to his pokemon and returned it to his Pokeball. "I cannot remember the last time I had such a close battle with a trainer...this has been really eyeopening for me…" the aquamarine man mumbled. "If you joined us...we would be truly unstoppable...but against us...you could potentially bring down the whole of Team Rocket…" he continued, cracking a small smile to the bewildered group. "But either way...we can be sure that I will challenge you again and we will see who is truly the strongest of the two...you...or Giovanni?" he paused as he started to walk away "remember to always follow your heart kid, that is what my master taught me and you would do well to remember it. Even though it pains me to be enemies with the only trainer that has gave me a real challenge since I joined team rocket, I am positive that you will go far. I have accomplished all I need from this mission ash Ketchum, I bid you farewell!" he waved as the executive abruptly left the boy in the middle of the battlefield. The group of trainers breathed a sigh of relief as the man strolled over to his talonflame and sent out a signal to his followers.

"Attention Team Rocket! Withdraw immediately! Our mission is complete! We have acquired the necessary information for Giovanni!"

The loudspeaker rang out with archers words as the huge legion of rocket grunts began to move away from the sunken ship. "Well done Lucario! That was some amazing battling!" Palmer praised as he had succeeded in transporting the last of the surviving passengers. Leaf and the rockets were stood by ash as they congratulated him on the draw that was very impressive considering that archer was just as strong as the weaker champions and Trevor was treating professor Sycamore for his numerous injuries at the hand of the cruel executive that had bizarrely pulled out from the battle even though they all knew that he could have defeated and captured ash.

It was a rare moment of peace that lasted only moments as they heard the sentence that would haunt each one of them for the rest of their lives.

"GENGAR! USE HYPER BEAM!"

A yellow beam of energy shot from the right side of the ship and headed towards the group that had all withdrew their pokemon. None of them had the time to dodge as it zoomed towards them. It was going directly for Jessie's head and made everyone pale in horror. Ash and Leaf were too far away to stop it and Palmer was across the deck looking for any rocket agents as he turned around and gasped in dread. "LOOK OUT!" he screamed loudly as he sprinted up to the woman.

"JESSIE!" James' voice rang out into the empty deck as he pushed the woman out of the way at the last second….taking the powerful attack straight in the neck…

Archer turned his head at the scream and widened his eyes in dread as he saw Petrel's Gengar hit the EX agent in the throat with a huge bang. "Oh please no…." he choked out as he watched the group in shock.

It took a couple of seconds for everyone to register what had happened and when James' lifeless body dropped to the ground limply, all of the trainers screamed in despair. The blue haired agent's eyes dimmed in the moonlight as his life faded away and his skin turned pale, lying in his own blood. He gargled on the red liquid and made a final futile attempt to breath...

"JAMES!" jessie and Meowth both yelled in horror as the woman relentlessly shook her friend and the cat checked for vital signs.

"H-he's d-dead Jessie…" palmer shuddered with tears leaving his face and dropping onto the bloodstained floorboards. Trevor and Sycamore both paled when they heard that and looked to the Kanto trainer who had been completely silent the whole time, no emotion showing on his face.

Leaf was weeping but her tears completely stopped when she looked at her boyfriend. He was staring at the body the whole time without a sound or any compassion.


There was a deathly silence on the SS Anne as every man, woman, and child turned their attention to ash who looked over to the executives with a blank gaze.

"Huhuhu" he chuckled? "Huhuhahahaha!" he started snickering as everyone looked at him in disbelief. The kindhearted boy was laughing at his friend's body! "AHAHAHAHAHA!" he laughed in a distorted voice that made the people on the boat and the viewers at home shiver with dread. "I'll kill you…" his crazed grin disappeared in seconds as it was replaced by a deathly glare that shook the world. "I'll kill you all…" he continued in a voice that was becoming more inhuman as time went by. "Every last one…" he finished as a huge aura surrounded him and he was lifted into the air.

SNAP!

He tore off his jacket and revealed a huge golden chest-plate that shone despite the time of day. He held the staff up and his eyes were completely covered in a red glow. "Master! What are you doing! Don't tell me you're going to release me!? You don't even have the Griseous orb!" Giratina spoke aloud in panic as everyone was stunned into silence.

Ash looked back to the purple ball of mist and gave an indifferent look. "None of that matters anymore Giratina…" he hissed in monotone as the staff began to glow.

"Think about this ash! You could destroy the whole of Kanto if you release me!" the dragon protested but his pleas fell on deaf ears.

Ash raised his staff as he hovered in the air and began to chant.

Ash bellowed the final line as a gigantic portal of darkness entered the sky and a huge dragon that eclipsed the SS Anne in size flew into the area. Giratina teleported towards his master and chuckled. "How very bold of you to defy satan's orders...you do know that I can only last 30 seconds in this shitty form without the Griseous orb to control the distortion world's dimensions and prevent it from sucking me back inside…" he deadpanned comically as he shot a murderous glare to the news camera that had captured every moment.

"You're not mad?" ash asked in confusion as the dragon smiled.

"The exact opposite my boy...you have made me very proud...disregarding life is one of my special skills!" he boomed with laughter.

"That's not a skill Giratina…"

The dragon scowled at the joke that fell flat because of ash's emotionless state and moved closer. "What are your orders...my chosen…" he asked with giddy anticipation as ash flashed a deadly grin.

"RAISE HELL! GOD OF THE DISTORTION WORLD!" and after that command, the full power of the Devil was released on the world, making everyone live in fear of the terrifying dragon once again…


(WORLDWIDE NEWS)

"Hello everyone and welcome to worldwide news! We have breaking news from Kanto as Team Rocket has attacked the SS Anne and is currently battling Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town, alongside Tower Tycoon Palmer and the Kanto Champion Leaf!

This news report was shared around the globe with everyone now knowing who the chosen of the legendary satan really was…

His name was Ash Ketchum…


(INDIGO LEAGUE PLATEAU)

Lance was sitting at his desk and reading about the new gym leader of Viridian city when his door crashed from its hinges. "What the fuck…" he gasped as he looked behind the frame to see a head of beautiful blonde hair with little black hair clips that glistened from the rain. The figure was wearing a fur coat that was pure black and highlighted her pretty face. "Cynthia? What is the meaning of this?" Lance asked curiously, trying to disguise the fact that he, a dragon master that practised peace and purity, swore in surprise from the rude entry. If it was anyone else, Dragonite would have sent them out of a window, but he knew that Cynthia was far stronger than him.

The Sinnoh champion's lips quirked up in amusement as she spoke. "Do you happen to know the whereabouts of Ash Ketchum? I fear that something terrible is going to happen to him…" she asked sadly as lance straightened himself out.

"Like you taking him to a stargazing zone-"

"His father" was all she said as the dragon master shut his mouth immediately and gulped at the mention of the legend master. "I am coming to believe that his father is telepathically communicating with ash without his knowledge as the two share the exact same goal. There is also the suspicion that he may even be one of the two heavenly chosen…" she finished as Lance gaped at the announcement.

He scrambled for information on his laptop and found his trainer ID, but something was wrong. "He was last seen 3 months ago...at the lily of the valley conference…" he shakily said as Cynthia gasped in shock. "Which means; he destroyed his trainer license and is travelling the regions without any protection from the law or evil teams...his information is out in the open and anyone can look at it...and I think we both know what that means…" he concluded as the champion nodded in fear.

Cynthia weakly sat down and thought about the developments. "I need to find him right now...do you know anyone else that cou-"

CRASSSSHHH!

The doors blew open again and this time, Bruno was stood at the entrance with a horrified expression. "TURN ON THE NEWS NOW!" he yelled frantically as the muscular man dashed to the back of the room.

"What is going-"

"DO IT!" he screamed at his boss who flinched and turned on the TV.

What they all saw made them pale in dread….

The SS Anne was up in flames with the left side sunk into the bottom of the sea. Much to Cynthia's horror, they saw Ash, Palmer, and Leaf fighting off endless members of team rocket. Ash then began battling the leader of the army with a mega Lucario that produced an infinite amount of aura, but what really shocked them was what the teenager did next.

He had summoned Giratina…

"We all need to fi-" Lance didn't get to finish his sentence as he realised that Cynthia had already run out of the room when her crush was located…


(KANTO SEA)

A salamence blasted through the sky at blinding speeds as it made tsunami's in its wake. A man was atop this dangerous beast and suddenly clutched his head. "I can sense Giratina….how long until we arrive at the ship? I need to get there as fast as possible because something really bad is going on….I haven't felt this presence in over 20 years…" Mr Ketchum murmured as they traversed through the skyline.

Salamence looked up to his master and grimaced. "Half an hour at best master…" the dragon said with a sigh as he received a flick on the nose in reply. "Ouch...you hit far harder than normal humans master...that fucking hurt…" he whined as they picked up speed.

"Can it Smaug…" the elder Ketchum growled. "Make it 10 minutes at the very least…" he hissed in a morphed voice as he used the binoculars to check his surroundings. They were currently zooming across Mt silver and making their way towards the SS Anne at lightspeed thanks to mega salamence's rigorous training, they were in search of ash and then felt the huge shockwave of sinister energy that only made the two of them flinch because of their huge amount of power, while everyone else was forced to their knee's from the sheer strength of the aura.

Salamence huffed and boosted its speed to an unseeable level, able to outspeed a mega rayquaza, looking like a meteor of blue and red as it dipped lower into the ground and was so close to the sea that he was making skyscraper-sized waves that towered above them. "As you wish master...I am also getting an uneasy feeling from the path ahead...I may be mistaken...but I sense a legendary pokemon ahead…" the dragon agreed nervously as his master nodded.

"Your correct...and it's very strong...even approaching Red and Blue's level...It's either a god pokemon that would have absolutely no reason to target ash...or someone is controlling mewtwo and its mega form…" he growled as he could make an accurate guess that it was team rocket behind the assault, and looked like he would be adding some thousand names to his kill count…

Salamence looked at the dark scowl on his master's face and started to become scared. "W-what are our orders master?" he asked shyly as Mr Ketchum looked down, unaffected by the lightspeed flight that would make any creature, let alone human snap their neck.

"You, Gyarados, Magmortar, and Rhyperior will collect ash's friends and carry them to safety while I will stay behind with Gallade and 'that pokemon' to save ash and probably kill a couple thousand grunts while we're at it…" he snickered disturbingly as they started to become covered in fire from going so fast. The sea was in complete chaos from the wind alone and any piece of land that they crossed was wiped off of the regional map by just being near salamence's terrifying speed.

They soon arrived in seeing the distance of the SS Anne as the aura disappeared and Mr Ketchum spotted something that made him boil with rage and throw every last Pokeball he had into the air…

An armoured pokemon was hovering over his son that was badly bleeding from his head and guarding his team until his last breath…

The 10-minute journey only lasted 10 seconds after that sight…


(SS ANNE 10 minutes earlier…)

Once Giratina heard that command, he cackled evilly and flew down at blinding speeds and fired off a dark pulse that destroyed half of the ship and killed trainers and rockets alike. Luckily for ash's friends, he managed to make a forcefield that guarded them all against the chaos as Giratina went on a 30-second rampage around the ship.

Archer was in the air with his Talonflame when he saw the God of destruction zoom down from the sky and obliterate one full side of the SS Anne, and the executive knew that Giratina was severely holding back so that he didn't destroy the whole of Kanto and Johto in one beam of darkness. "Ash has the ability to summon Giratina…" he realised as a hysterical laugh came from his mouth. "Just wait until Giovanni hears this! You have caught our eye, Ash Ketchum...you have caught our eye indeed…" he snickered as he made a U-turn and went to collect Ariana and Proton. He was no fool and knew that rescuing petrel would only turn the raging dragon's wrath on them, so he decided to just abandon the annoying admin to face whatever wrath awaited him…

Ash was still hovering above the action and waved at the camera seductively as he stared down at the pure carnage that his foster father was creating. He marvelled at the sheer destruction that was going on below, the rocket grunts had mostly all wisely jumped into the sea to avoid the dragons rage and the others were annihilated by the severely weakened attacks of the god of death. Ash knew for an absolute fact that if Giratina was only going half-serious, he could easily destroy the two regions and end millions of lives in the process, and with all of his power being released, along with this secret form that the dragon kept obsessing over, he could destroy all life on earth… "I should have brought some popcorn…" he said sadly as he took strange joy in watching the few rockets writhe around in pain. Soon after the carnage had stopped, Giratina was sucked back inside his chest-plate and ash descended back down to the ship deck to meet his friends that looked at him with terrified expressions.

Professor Sycamore was in a complete daze as he watched the boy just summon the joint strongest pokemon in history and kill hundreds of team rocket agents in an act of pure hatred and vengeance. While the others were happy that he avenged his friend, they couldn't shake the horrible feeling of dread that was coursing through them as ash neared them.

The boy stopped, inches away from the group and stared blankly. "Where is the purple scum that killed James?" he asked with zero emotion as they all collectively shivered. When they didn't answer, he did something extremely out of character...he used his aura to give them huge headaches that made them scream in agony. "I'll ask again instead of killing you since the situation is so dire…" he paused. "WHERE IS PETREL?" he growled slowly with venom that made even Palmer gulp in fright. After a tense moment of silence, just as ash was about to raise his hand and kill them all blindly and without knowing, Leaf raised a terrified finger and pointed to the ship captains lookout room. The boy nodded without a trace of anger, sadness, or empathy as he released his team and sprint away until….

"I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO ADVANCE ANY FURTHUR….HUMAN…" a robotic voice boomed into the night sky as ash turned around and stared in annoyance as the legendary mewtwo appeared in front of him.

Ash looked and saw that he was covered in some sort of high-tech armour that looked to be mind controlling him. "Are you still in there Mewtwo?" he asked in an equally inhuman voice, showing no signs of happiness or anger at seeing his old friend.

"Who is this 'MEWTWO' you speak of? I am named M2 by my master Giovanni and my sole purpose in life is to destroy the enemies of team rocket…"

"I see...so you are lost…" he stated blankly as his team prepared to face them (if you got that reference then GG). Before he could issue a command, however, he felt as if his body had become empty and he dropped to the ground. At that moment; ash felt a mixture of emotions. Anger, Wrath, Hatred, Sadness, Fear, Shock, and Guilt as he lay on the floor with his emotions slowly coming back to him. 'W-what the h-hell is happening!' the boy panicked as Giratina appeared inside his conscious. "Don't fear this, my child. Since you released my seal, you have now inherited all of my emotions and have essentially become my living wrath. That means that you will have that little berzerk transformation every time you do battle, be it physically, or with your pokemon, and you will become more dangerous to people around you in this state, as you just saw when you almost killed your friends back there. You will soon develop control of this ability but you can never turn it off because it is part of you." the dragon explained as ash gasped while slowly rising to his feet. "I was never going to let you hurt them anyway so don't worry about it. I may not have control of your body...but I can meddle with certain joints to make you temporarily paralyzed if you lash out and I can also stop you from killing other people or pokemon if you so wish...but we both know that you don't want to miss out on that sweet~ sweet~ blood~" he sang as ash agreed.

The crimson-haired boy nodded silently. "That makes sense...and if I can control this new form of personality, I will be able to stop making rash decisions like I used to. Sweet!" he cheered comically as the mind-controlled mewtwo looked puzzled at the boy's strange actions. Ash then turned his attention back to mewtwo who he now noticed looked different than when they first met on New Island. He had a long pink hair-like tail on his head that went straight down his back, while he had some sort of visor on his skull that connected his ears. His hands had grown into gauntlets and he looked to be skinnier, while also adding muscle. Was this a mega evolution? He didn't know, but he needed to get through to his old friend, even if it cost him his life. "Mewtwo! Stop this! Do you not remember anything about your past?" he asked desperately as the Pokemon shook its head and ash lowered his in defeat. 'Guess verbal communication is off the table then…...shit…' he mentally deadpanned as he released his team again and got into a fighting stance.

Mewtwo Y was confused as to what the hell this human was thinking, but oddly enough, felt some sort of force making him feel immense grief. "Have you forgotten that I am the pinnacle of the pokemon species?" the psychic type asked arrogantly as he pushed the human against the wall with his psychic power and deflected the outraged pokemon of the human and their various attacks with ease.

"Nope that's Arceus actually…"

"YOU FUCKER! I AM THE 1%" Mewtwo yelled in fury as ash balled up laughing at the stupidity of the situation.

He decided to stop playing around with the immensely powerful legend as he directed his team to attack but found that none of his team could even get close to it. "W-what...it deflected all of the attacks with the swipe of its hand?" he gasped in horror as he jumped away from a psycho cut that tore the ruins of the ship. "Fuck! We can't keep going like this! Sceptile! Use leaf storm and combine it with Charizard's fire blast!" he commanded as he successfully masked his growing fear. Mewtwo was slightly pushed back by the powerful attack but in the grand scheme of things, it did little to nothing against the legendary psychic. "Null! Use outrage!" he shouted over as his signature wolf leapt at the legend and pummeled it with a flurry of powerful attacks that made the pokemon flinch.

'That's it!' ash thought in delight as he watched the pokemon grimace slightly with the smug smirk wiped from his face. "ALL OF YOU! ATTACK HIM ALL AT ONCE!" he screamed as they all dove for the legend and fired a literal hell storm of attacks down at the pink pokemon that gasped at the amount of damage it was taking. Don't stop until its all the way down!" he called out as his team roared in agreement and relentlessly battered the legend who was struggling to stay upright and coughed up blue blood.

Everything changed however as Mewtwo released his full power…

"ENOUGH!"

Mewtwo created a huge blast of energy that blew away ash and his pokemon and sent them flying into the wall. The legend emerged and was in a state of pure rage as it hatefully glared at the trainer. Lucario tried to hit him with a bone rush, but she was hoisted into the air and slammed through several floors of the wrecked cruise liner, Sceptile fired off a barrage of deadly attacks consisting of a leaf storm, dragon pulse, and even a zap cannon which mewtwo reflected back at him, sending the grass type into a steel beam that supported the ship, Charizard was shot from the sky with a shadow ball and came crashing down with a thud, Aerodactyle was also sniped by an energy ball as he limply plummeted down onto the motionless body of his fellow flying type, and Electabuzz was grabbed by mewtwo and punched unconscious where it was then thrown into some debris. Ash and Null were the only ones that were left standing as they showed no signs of giving up and scowled at the raging legend while preparing for a final stand…

"We're gonna die here Null...so let's go out with a bang!" he shouted as the pokemon bitterly smiled at his beloved master and knelt down for a ride. Ash climbed onto his wolf as he enveloped himself in a final ray of black aura and let out a cry of defiance with his partner doing the same. "Photon Geyser! Full power!" he shouted the pokemon hidden move as they both roared passionately and a yellow beam of light shot towards the surprised legend.

"Such power…"

The beam struck mewtwo dead in the chest as he was blown into the ocean with a huge explosion. The entire ship was now in pieces as even some of the water vaporised from the sheer power and heat of the light blast that was associated with the legendary pokemon Necrozma that was said to be the light source of alola. The two were now gasping for breath as they slumped down on the floor the viewers watching in horror and sadness. They both looked at the sea as mewtwo emerged with a blue aura encasing it as he zoomed back into the action, healed from its wounds. "Well...it was a good run...right Null?" he asked his pokemon who sadly nodded and nuzzled his trainer lovingly.

"Any last words...human filth?" mewtwo growled in annoyance as ash saw a tear slip down the pokemon face, meaning that his friend wasn't entirely dead. Ash smiled in happiness as he sent his friends a goodbye wave and closed his eyes, cuddling his wolf for a last act of protection as mewtwo flinched in shock. "Don't stay a slave to humans mewtwo…" ash wheezed as he braced himself. "Goodbye old friend…" he sighed as his thoughts drifted to a certain Sinnoh champion who he never got to confess to…

"Goodbye a-ash…."

The world stood still as an aura sphere generated in the pokemon's hand and was about to hit the pair when…

Something even worse happened.


(WITH CYNTHIA)

The Sinnoh champion was travelling at max speeds as she neared the SS Anne with a desperate expression. "Please be alright...my love…" she prayed as Garchomp spotted the cruiser and they both gasped. What they saw was an armoured pokemon getting ready to fire a deadly aura sphere at her crush's head. The ship was in a blaze and crumbling while sinking deeper into the sea and was now fully submerged. Ash's friends were shielded by a red and black cocoon that protected them from water and the legend that was about to execute their friend right in front of them.

She watched in agony as the boy's eyes shut and he braced himself for the coming demise with signs of regret on his handsome face. He hugged his pokemon one final time as the sphere finished generating. "ASH!" she screamed into the air as she was about to dive into the wreckage when she saw something that completely shocked her.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure riding a mega salamence with an expression of pure fury laced on his face. She saw the dragon travel far too fast for her eyes to follow and made huge tsunami's in its path as it soared towards the ship like a comet about to strike a planet.

Little did she know...that the trainer who owned that amazing pokemon would also be the same one that haunted all of her darkest nightmares…


(SS ANNE)

Everyone in the world jerked their attention from the heartbreaking scene to the huge waves that were coming closer to the remnants of the ship. It could be said that every living thing on earth collectively shit themselves when they saw who was riding the godly salamence. The Legend Master was shooting towards the debris with an expression of primal rage as he stood upon the dragon even while travelling at light speed.

He released 6 pokemon from his jacket as he dived off of the airborne dragon that was still streaking through the sky. "GET AWAY FROM MY SON! YOU FILTH!" the man roared powerfully as he landed on the remains of the north deck with a crash. Ash and Palmer both gasped in awe as their hero had just come plummeting back in their lives, just as before he left.

"W-who are you human!?" mewtwo asked in fear as he aimed an aura sphere at the raven-haired man who merely smirked arrogantly.

Mr Ketchum smirked as he whistled for his pokemon. "Honestly, I was expecting far more destruction than just some measly wreckage...and you call yourself a legendary pokemon? How utterly amusing…" he mocked as a rhyperior absorbed the attack aimed for his head...without even flinching from the super effective attack. "Oh! And one more thing…" he paused as he clicked his fingers and a golden glow rang through the air. "You're not fighting him…" the man grinned as he pointed up at the gathering orb of gold and black light. He spoke into his earpiece with dark amusement. "You can attack now...but conceal yourself…" he said as the other line spoke in a raspy voice.

"As you wish…"

A small blur of gold shot through the sky and crashed into mewtwo who gasped at the speed. The pokemon then abruptly fainted without any real resistance…

"In one move?" Trevor gasped in awe as the mysterious pokemon vanished into the clouds with nothing to reveal its species.

Ash looked at the menacing form of his father, who wore a similar coat and cape to himself. He was radiating an aura of Malevolence and an otherworldly feel as he stepped up to the group of shocked trainers and handed ash an Ultra Ball. "d-dad…" he could barely get out that one word as he was overcome with tears and dived in to hug his father, only to be pushed away.

"I'm sorry son...about everything...we will talk once this is all over...but for now...I need to take out my frustration on these pissants that tried to kill you…" he sneered in disgust as he patted the boy on the head as he shakily captured the legend in the Pokeball. "The armour was completely annihilated by my attack so that mewtwo won't go ape shit when you take it out…" the man sighed as he called over his pokemon. From the sky and sea came a Mega Gallade, a Mega Gyarados, a Magmortar, a Rhyperior, and finally, a Mega Salamence that all roared out and sent shockwaves through the air. "Gyarados, Magmortar, Gallade...take ash and his friends over to the base and make sure they're alright. Salamence and Rhyperior...you two will both help me to exterminate all of the remaining rockets in the area…"

"Leave no one alive…" he sneered in an ice-cold voice that made everyone gulp with dread.

As the man climbed onto his salamence to partake in a massacre, he heard a voice call out to him from the side. "MASTER!" palmers voice echoed through the freezing air. "Why did you come back! Why now of all times!" he questioned desperately as the man shown a remorseful look and bowed his head.

"All will be revealed soon...look after my son while I'm gone," he stated as he hoisted himself atop salamence who launched from the ground and into the air.


The world watched in terror as the mega salamence mercilessly tore up the bodies of the surviving grunts and even though they prayed for mercy, they were killed all the same. Archer, Proton, and Ariana were riding on the Talonflame when they watched in horror as the dreaded Salamence roared from behind them. It easily caught up to them without breaking a sweat and they were instantly shot from the sky by a strangely tame flamethrower. "W-was that just the Legend Master…." Proton gasped in fear as he shook down his body after the hard fall. They had just plummeted 60 feet down into the ocean and were hanging onto a stray beam of steel that was floating through the water. Ariana was reacting the same way as she saw the mighty dragon turn to them and descend, but Archer was reacting a completely different way. He was smirking like a madman as he watched the pure destruction that the Unova trainer was causing and looked on as he slashed up the grunts like it was nothing. "And to think that Giovanni has not only found the evil chosen….but also...the former strongest trainer in the world...this is truly a victory for team rocket…" he smiled as the dragon hovered in front of them with a scowl.

The man atop the creature had a face of hidden rage as he approached the floating debris. "Listen up! I'll let the rest of your little band live...if you tell me the exact location of petrel." he paused as his eyes flashed yellow. "But if you don't….or if you give me false information within the next five seconds...I will not hesitate to cull all of you and then set my sights on Silph Co…" he said icily as the executives gasped. "And once I kill Giovanni, I will them murder all of your families….I would say that your lucky that you aren't faced with that problem now. It's the price to pay for attempting to murder the new god of this world…" he finished with a sneer and left the rocket members shaking and even the cool and calm archer was trembling like a leaf in the presence of such a trainer.

The executives had their cocky smirks instantly wiped from their faces as Proton spoke up in a cracked voice that oozed fear. "H-he has last seen 5 minutes ago on the top deck above ash and mewtwo!" the blue-haired man squeaked out as the Legend Master flashed the single scariest smile that they had ever seen, not even Giovanni could scare them to tears with one glance, but somehow this man could do it easily…

As soon as he heard that, his eyes flashed yellow and he smiled maliciously at the admins. "I applaud you for telling the truth Proton...when team rocket is eventually defeated by my son...you are all welcome to join my little group…" he smirked as the Salamence shot off at the speed of light, in search of the purple haired man that had fatally wounded one of his son's friends and setting loose mewtwo, who came within inches of ending the boys life.


Back on the ship, the whole group of trainers were staring in awe and fear at the total destruction that surrounded them. Jessie and Meowth had still held their comrade's body tightly but not in a caring way, more of a defensive one as for some strange reason, they all seemed to be on edge and fearing this man from his stare alone. It was hard to believe that he was actually the twerp's father. Palmer was still frozen in shock as he followed his master with his eyes and had tears forming in his eyes. The man who everyone assumed to be dead had just came crashing right back into the scene and singlehandedly killed over 1000 team rocket grunts in only a minute. Ash was unresponsive as he was somehow getting a negative feeling in his head. "I don't know what it is...but something is very wrong with your father...he seems to be giving me this feeling that I don't want to ever feel again...be extremely careful around him ash…" Giratina warned shakily as he shuddered in fright.

"We need to help him, everyone! It's the least we can do!" Sycamore shouted as he missed the horrified look Palmer gave him from the statement. 'Does this fool have a deathwish!?' the frontier brain gasped in disbelief as the professor released his Charizard and flown into battle.

In a matter of seconds, however, the man was shot down by a Giga impact as the Salamence growled viciously at him. "Get out of my way you insect!" the Legend master snarled darkly as the professor hit the wooden floor hard with his attacker looking on in apathy. 'His friends definitely need some work...maby 'he' could help them...now ash's future death squad is looking more and more possible as he will need some comrades to be able to accomplish our goal...how fascinating…' he thought darkly as the salamence soared into the sky and spotted a purple head of hair that was frantically running away from the burning cruiser which was now only showing the very top where ash was stationed. "Time to make my return public…" he snickered as he pressed a large button on his mega stone gauntlet that displayed a huge E letter on the front with black and white colouring illuminating the beautiful crest. "This is LM calling from the Kanto shores...requesting immediate news coverage with no edits…" he spoke through the commlink as the other voice beeped.

"So you finally came back my lord….how wonderful! We will take over the news helicopters and make sure to give you the return that our world needs….may we soon see a world of light and dark…" the voice that belonged to a gruff voice that was muffled by a beard said happily as the news across the world flashed to an E symbol screen…


Petrel was running, running as fast as his legs could take him as he ducked and dived from the oncoming debris. He was scared shitless by the Legend Master swooping down and mercilessly killing all of his underlings without any effort. If this was true and the man was actually ash's father, he would certainly be in for a world of hurt. "Those traitorous bastards! They left me to drown!" He screamed in rage as he skidded to a halt when he saw a looming figure descend upon him. When he turned his head, he was met with a mega gallade that spat on his shoe in disgust of the man's image.

A few moments later, a man stepped out from the water, in full view of the terrified Petrel and the worldwide audience that was now listening and watching an uncensored version of the events. "Well done petrel...you almost made me use my legends to destroy Kanto...not that the destruction of one measly region would even slow down our plan…" he said in a voice that boomed across the sea so that everyone in the world could hear him. "Can I ask what your goal was in trying to capture my son?" he asked with genuine curiosity as he glared at the shaking man.

"W-w-w-we w-were ordered by G-Giovanni to c-capture ash for a battle w-with h-him!" he squeaked out in terror as the man's face fell in...dissapointment?

"Tsk...I was hoping it was a worse reason so that I could have the semi-excuse to kill you all…" he sighed in annoyance. "well...I should probably reward your honesty with a quick death right?" he asked with a cruel smirk plastered on his tanned face as no sooner that he said that a huge white staff came crashing down onto the executive's skull, making the head split down the middle, earning a savage smirk from the Legend Master and horrified gasps from everyone else.

He withdrew his staff and made his way back to the ship, smirking darkly, sending shudders up the worlds spine. He ignored the constant voices of ash and palmer as he stepped onto the platform and faced the camera that was being held by a hooded figure ina news helicopter. "Greeting world. Of course you all know who I am, but you all need to know something that has been at the forefront of my mind. My son, Ash Ketchum...will one-day fulfil the prophesy and battle his rival and cover the world in a shower of Black and White...every pokemon trainer that is listening right now...consider yourself a target...for you will all be defeated by my son...the son of the devil and the evil chosen of Giratina...as for me; I will be irrelevant until my son needs me again...but you should know…" he paused as all of his pokemon crowded around him with the tired and unconscious bodies of ash and his friends on their backs. "If any other person tries to harm my child...they will get far worse than what took place tonight…" he finished as his salamence shot off into the sky with the rest of the pokemon traveling by some gold force…

"TAKE ME WITH YOU!" Mr Ketchum heard the scream of a woman as he looked down in surprise and saw the Sinnoh champion Cynthia looking at him with desperate eyes. 'So that's what's going on…' the man thought in amusement as he apparated the girl into an orb of light and teleported away to an unknown location…


And that's a wrap!

Next chapter, we will see the reactions of ALL the characters, and I mean ALL of them, including the ones who have not been introduced. We will also cover the aftermath of the SS Anne attack and ash having a deep conversation with his all-powerful father, Cynthia will reunite with ash, James' funeral will take place, and they will head out to their next gym battle in Kanto.

I apologize is this chapter got dark real quick but ITS ALL IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE...I'm here all night ladies and gentlemen…

What are your views on Ash's father and how did you like the raid on the ship? Did I get the power right for the admins? Silvally and Electivire will eventually appear at the end of the Kanto arc and ash will complete his team when he picks up his final member in Unova. Mewtwo will not be used as he is far too op and I have already stated that ash will only use 3 legends that have already been chosen by me.

Sorry for the long chapter, but this is really where the TEAM ROCKET ARC kicks off and the seeds are planted in every character as ash is revealed as the 1st chosen.

Wanna know how y'all react to the mighty void being a clone of asta who will be revealed in the Unova arc *WINK WINK* and he's not a canon character so don't worry

Hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you next time!
