A/N: Ok guys, I made 10 of these and amazingly I have great ideas to come. Like other stories, a tournament will always be the union of so many people, friends and rivals. Like other fanfics, I was inspired the idea of a tournament only that I want to take it into great detail. Similarly to other fics, this tournament will be trap by the bad guys, but I won't interrupt it halfway through like others would.

We are now 1 year fast forward
Chapter 10- The tournament of the decade
Somewhere in Kalos:
"Alain, I have a feeling we will be able to use this tournament for carrying out our plans. This tournament that happens every ten years includes the strongest 1024 trainers to participate. I want you to enter thus I am sending an invitation to you," Lysander said in a serious tone.
"Understood, I will be there and assure Team Draco victory," Alain responded as he left the room. 'If this is my chance to get revenge then I will, until Marion can smile once more' Alain thought as he left with anger in his eyes.
Back at Prism Tower:
Clemont, Sawyer, Bonnie, May, and Dawn were resting after a long day. Clemont had a strong challenger that had managed to beat him earlier, if Clemont could recall the guy's name was Callem.
"Ugh, that Darkrai was way too strong, it completely swept me," Clemont said with waterfall tears in his eyes as he fell on the couch of the living room.
"Don't be sad Clemont, he had a strong pokemon, that's it," Dawn said reassuringly. "The only Darkrai I saw defeated was when Ash took one out in the Sinnoh league."
"Wait, what happened?" asked Sawyer. He had walked in and heard the mention of Ash defeating a Darkrai and set next to Clemont with interest.
"In the Sinnoh league, Ash made it to the top 4 after defeating his long term rival Paul," Dawn said remembering the event. "Ash went up against a trainer called Tobias and he had a Darkrai that started to sweep Ash's team… until."
"Until what?" Bonnie and May asked in unison.
"Until Ash's Sceptile broke free and swiped through Darkrai with a strong leaf blade," Dawn replied.
"Ash has a Sceptile?!" Sawyer exclaimed, he never knew the person he admired had a strong pokemon like that.
"Yeap! He used it when he travelled with me in Hoenn and then reused it in the Sinnoh league," May responded.
"What happened after Ash defeated Darkrai?" Clemont asked.
"Tobias took out a Latios and also started to wipe the floor, until Ash sent out Pikachu who managed to resist to end the match in a draw," Dawn said sighing. "Sadly Ash had no more Pokemon left so he lost, but was the only one in the entire league to defeat 2 legendaries."
"Ash never ceases to amaze me, even today," Clemont said as everyone nodded.
Suddenly, Clemont's Holo Caster rang and he picked up, "Hello, Clemont speaking."
"Yo Clemont, long time no see buddy!" Tierno greeted.
"Tierno! Hey man, what did you need?" Clemont responded.
"I just wanted to remind you and your friends about the tournament of the decade. It is being hosted here in Kalos, more specifically at Lumiose City so like the pokemon league 3 years ago (yes, it is 3 years now, remembered we skipped?)."
"Awesome! We will tell them to all go," replied Clemont. "Also, do you know who will be there?"
"Ash's old rivals, battle frontier brains and even elite four and champions from all regions. It will be an amazing tournament!" Tierno replied. "I have to call Night now, see ya later! Oh, right, the invitations will come through email!"
"Ok, see ya man!" Clemont responded as he hung up. "I can't wait, I wonder who will be there!"
"I just got texted by Max, he got invited too!" May exclaimed.
"I want to battle Night again!" Said Sawyer enthusiastically. "I remember when I battled him a year ago, he was amazing. Also Clemont,Night defeated that Darkrai easily with a Gliscor."
"His Jolteon is quite something, right Dedenne?" Bonnie remarked.
"De ne ne," the orange mouse called out.
"I think Night will represent Kalos well like he has lately. Even though he shows up to things he should show up for, it is reported that he leaves Kalos every time the event is over," responded Clemont.
"Yea, I heard rumors of that too, but is it true?" asked Sawyer.
"Only way to find out is by going, right guys?" asked May with encouragement.
"Right!" the all exclaimed.
Everyone was excited for Night because he is well known, but no one will expect the "Fallen Trainer".
Mount Silver:
Training was hard, but it was something the 3 trainers did without stopping.
Ash and Night worked together in perfecting their unpredictability of battle strategies a lot. When they battled it was usually a close battle, but all the pokemon became great friends.
Serena also worked on her own battle style, performing. Using dancing skills and elegancy to her movements. She used Ash and Night's help to strengthen herself. Amazingly, Serena could put up an amazing battle against both champions now, something unheard of from a performer before.
Night still had his role as champion and Serena was still Kalos Queen, but thanks to Gardevoir they can get to Kalos and events in less than a flash. In the map, they were not as erased as Ash though, who other than the cousins everyone thought Ash was dead hence the name "Fallen Trainer".
After a year, Ash knew he and his friends were ready for Team Draco and they got their lucky break when Tierno called, "Sup Night, how's it going?"
"Great Tierno, do I have a challenger?" Night responded.
"Nope, a challenge though, as champion you have priority so you can gather as many strong trainers as possible for the tournament of the decade that happens every ten years," Tierno explained. "So other than your invitation, do you need any more?"
Night looked at Serena, he knew she would be amazing in the tournament. She nodded saying she was in.
Night then turned to Ash, he was pumped, he needed to get out there. He also nodded with determination in his eyes.
"Thanks Tierno, send three invitations to my headquarters in Kalos and I will pick them up," Night responded.
"Great, I am doing that electronically now, remember to print them out and put the name of who is participating in the invitations," Tierno replied.
"One thing," Night replied. "Unlike other champions, I will show up to battle, but I won't be Night during that. I want to be kept anonymous, mostly because sometimes the press can go wild and since the tournament is in Kalos it is trouble." Night had other reasons for this though.
"Ok, I agree, I sent the invitations so you can pick them up on your e-mail from your computer at headquarters, the tournament starts in a couple days," Tierno said.
"Great, see you at the tournament, if you can find me," Night said with a smirk while hanging up.
"Gardevoir, let's get the invitations," Night said. "In the meantime, make us aliases so that we can be disguised," Night explained while teleporting out.
"He's right, let's make some disguise names and get different something to cover us up," Ash said turning to Serena. "This tournament is ours!"
"Right and leave it to me!" Serena exclaimed. "Wait Ash, will you be ok going out into civilization to suddenly?" Serena asked turning her cheerful tone to a serious one.
"I have to, I have to come back eventually!" Ash said as he put a hand on Serena's shoulder. "Besides, eventually you would want to see your friends," Ash explained with a warm smile.
"I will support you until the end," Serena responded returning the smile.
Night's champion headquarters:
Night and Gardevoir arrived in time to get the invitations, only to their shock someone was snooping through Night's belongings.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Night asked with agitation.
"Grrr… he's here, Hypno attack him!"
"Not gonna happen, Greninja NightSlash!" Night said summoning the dark type.
"Ninja!" the frog cried as it turned a dark color and hit the hypno with strength to knock it out in one hit.
Night noticed that the man had the name of team draco on his shirt. Night called security and they arrested the man. 'Why would someone snoop around my stuff?' Night thought as he went to his computer and printed out the invitations. Lastly he locked the room and went back to Mount Silver where he told Ash and Serena what happened.
"So that must be our threat," Ash said.
"Only we can stand a chance, we are stronger now. Also did he have that same shirt Alain's grunts had when we found him a year ago?" Serena added.
"If you are talking about the guy with the Charizard, then yes," Night said with a worried expression. He went on to tell Ash about his encounter with Alain.
Ash immediately realized that things were getting serious, but he was ready so he was not backing down.
He never will.
A/N: Things have started to get serious, but I feel like I am going to let the gang have a break next episode. I want to make an amusing episode for the next one and I have an idea to make things more heated for the tournament.
