Hello everybody and welcome back! Still haven't thought of a new introduction but no matter! Again. Anyway, Happy Halloween if you are reading this when I upload it…Or when I was meant to upload it. I don't really like Halloween so that's all that you are getting: if you want to know what I am scared of for some trivia or something, it is the Ocean and the Dark… They are terrifying. Now, onto the reviews:
Rams34: I don't believe so, but Serena does look up to Aria because she was the Kalos Queen and that was Serena's goal, so it's more of that kind of relationship.
Espeon44: Thank you for letting me use Shadow, and I don't know, maybe later on: I don't really like Salvia but I might include her later on.
SuperSonicBros123: Thank you, and when I said that May and her can connect, it was because she was with Ash during that time period when he was at the Battle Frontier.
Raiders89: Yes and no.
Jaguars5: Well that would be spoilers, would it not? And probably…
Wizard2: Like previously mentioned, maybe, Paul will appear and Quincy will be shipped with Alexa as requested by the OC's creator.
RashidMamunur2014: Well, I like surprises… Actually I don't really like surprises.
Red the Pokémon Master: GoggleShipping I haven't really looked into, but BootlegPearlShipping just isn't something that I like for some reason: maybe it's because I couldn't watch the full episode due to me cringing every time Salvia was on screen- I hate it when there are two of the same character and one does something while the other has to pay, things like this make me skin crawl and it is also the reason why I hate clones… This turned into me rambling, didn't it?
AshKetchumDarkSide: God dammit… God dammit.
Emerald Night 117: Oh well- maybe in the future!
Guest (No name specified): That's okay, and you will see your OC very soon actually, probably within the next 2 chapters. Thanks for the extra information by the way.
Heat3: Well, there is only one real bad guy when you think about it, and that's Ash's father but maybe… maybe…
God Emperor of GAR-Halla: It was irredeemable, and yes it was hilarious: I like that have that split within my stories- comedy and terror/ tragedy.
Reader of Fate: Thanks.
DarkMachines: I may include those later, but I wanted to show off Ash's awesome Pokémon collection that he has already. However, I did not include Lucario because it is usually a Lucario that trains Ash's Aura and refines it, but I wanted Ash's Aura to be uncontrollable and untamed in this story and adding a Lucario in would raise suspicion as to why he hasn't been able to control it yet.
FanFic Meister: Yes it was unexpected.
Eddy: Yes! May No.1! But they will all probably be the same, but I'll see what I can do… Also, I added a hint in one of the earlier chapters about Pikachu's relationship with Glaceon and Bunneary.
Quick thanks to God Emperor of GAR-Halla, AwesomePossum15, McBrads, Kamen Rider, EuDog3, Bemstu600, TheShadowSpartan117 and Happy34112.
Now onto Chapter 10!
Speech- "Go Pikachu!"
Thoughts- 'Go Pikachu!'
Pokémon Moves- Thunderbolt
Aura Speech- 'Go Pikachu'.
Past Tense- Go Pikachu!
Ash looked towards the two girls in front of him.
He had just sat down for an hour straight to explain everything that had happened to him. They had cried, they had laughed, they had blushed and now they were silent. The Sun hung low in the sky, casting bleeding rays of light out onto the island and the waves crashed onto the rocky terrain below.
Looking behind them at the green, luscious landscape, Ash watched the street as Angie and Aria sat in silence. That spine-chilling feeling disappeared about half-way through the story, but the teen had to stay on guard. On the beach beside them, families, couples, children, athletes, trainers all congregated in the same place to escape the madness that came with the stadium. Most of the battles had finished but a few still went on: even from where Ash sat on the stone barricade, he could hear the roars of the stadium.
Taking off his hat, he placed it down beside him before bending over backwards to see the ocean: waves of clear blue rolled and shook while white fallen clouds danced on top of the liquid. Placing a gloved hand behind his head, he closed his eyes, and allowed him some time to rest. After a few more minutes, a gentle tap on the leg. Curling his neck, he looked towards the two girl, both of them stained red. The curiosity in Ash's mind got the better of him eventually.
"What are you two blushing for?" He asked, confused and worried that something might've happened. Instead, they simply shuffled around on the wooden bench, diverting their eyes away from his.
"W-What you said about this harem thing…" Aria began, but was too embarrassed to finish. Ash kind of knew where this was going now.
"Yes, it is true. I am destined to be with one than more partner, so I am 'programed' to love more than one person." He replied, stoic and calculated but he was having trouble burying a smirk.
"How many people can you l-love?" Angie asked, finding her voice. Shaking his head, Ash looked at the floor.
"Don't know: probably hundreds." This response shocked the two girls. "Whatever it takes to get my genes across to the next generation. It's a shame, though, because I always feel guilty when I like other girls when I have 5 girlfriends already: it makes me seem dishonest." Ash said burring his face into his hands. The two girls looked at each other. They nodded once. Then the moved to the wall.
Positioning themselves onto the tough stone structure, they rested their heads of contrasting hair colour onto his broad shoulders, wrapping their arms around each of his arms in a strong hold: their bones acting like the foundations of a lock. Lifting his head up from his hands, Ash looked down at the two girls, a blush coming to the trio's faces.
"What did they say to you about it?" Angie asked, quietly sinking her face into Ash's clothed bicep, muffling her words. A smile grazed Ash's lips as he looked at her.
"They said that they were fine with it, but I still feel un-loyal, you know? And if it's not the multiple mate's thing itself, it's who I want to be involved." This time, a shuffling came from Aria's side, who looked up at Ash with a curious spark present in her eyes.
"What's the problem with who you like?"
"Nothing's wrong: they are all beautiful women with amazing personalities but I feel selfish." Ash said, his eyes downcast as he tried to process the current situation in his head.
"Don't feel selfish Ash, you're a great guy who's caring and passionate and cute." Aria said, blushing the whole time.
"You've saved so many people, you've been through Hell and back but you're still here and are surviving through it: if anyone was worthy of Arceus' 'blessing', it's you Ash…" Angie said, lifting her own head off of Ash's arm to meet his eyes. Taking a deep breath, both girl positioned themselves apart from Ash, sitting on their knees for extra height before two pairs of lips hit Ash's cheeks.
"And you've stole out hearts as well." They said together, lingering on his skin for a few seconds before leaning away, blushing furiously, opting to look out at the ocean. Inside his mind, Ash was doing cartwheels- this was absolutely perfect. Wrapping his arms around the two petite girls, he bought them into a hug.
"Remember earlier, when I talked about those beautiful women that I had fallen for?" He asked, a smile present on his face. They only nodded in response, seemingly losing their voices due to the evens that were transpiring. "Well, two of them were you." Ash said, a blush coming back to his cheeks.
Two mouths gaped open when they heard this information: Ash liked them back. Looking at his eyes, they could only see truth and love. Tears burst from their eyes before they collapsed into his chest, sobbing into the white fabric once more. Another smile came to Ash's face as he played with their hair.
This was a good day.
Walking out of the stadium, the girls stretched their arms before letting out a heavy sigh.
They had decided to stay behind for the following matches and they were a lot of fun, but nothing could top Ash's fight: it was amazing. Looking at the time, they say that it was around 4 o'clock.
"Ash should be coming back to the Pokémon Centre in about an hour, want to head back?" Dawn asked, bringing up a valid response. They all looked at each other before nodding and smiling. As they were walking out onto the street, however, a small girl dived onto Serena's torso.
"SERENA!" Bonnie cried burying her head of blond hair into Serena's chest, hugging her tight. Said girl was a little worried at first, but calmed down and hugged the girl back.
"Hello Bonnie, how are you?" She asked, happy that she could see her friend again.
"GREAT! I and Clemont and Alexa just watched the fights and they were AMAZING! ALL OF THE POKEMON WERE SO CUTE!" Her squealing caught the attention of the surrounding populous, causing them to glance at the duo, but they soon moved on. Bonnie's noise also attracted the group of girls over.
"Hey Bonnie!" Iris said as she went over, earning herself a beaming smile from the young girl. The others said something along the same lines, also earning them the same response.
"So… did you guys see Ash?" Bonnie asked, growing quieter by the word. From where she was standing, Serena would see tears springing at the edge of Bonnie's eyes: to the young girl, Ash was a role model just as her brother was. There had been so many times where he had done something brave and daring to save someone and Bonnie had looked up to Ash because of it. However, after his funeral, she became more unapproachable, deciding to train with Dedenne rather than spend time with anyone. She had gotten better in the last few years, but it still hurt. Said electric type was sleeping in Bonnie's bag that was slung over her shoulder.
"Yes we did. In fact, we're going to go see him now: do you want to come with us?" May perked up, attracting the attention of the blond haired girl. Like a lightbulb, Bonnies face lit up in a heart-warming smile, free from worry or care.
"Really?" She asked quietly, smiling even though she had a few tears spring free form their prison.
"Yep, 100% truth. He's going to be at the Pokémon Centre around 5." Misty said, smiling at the young girls antics. Once again, Bonnie exploded with joy: her face was bright red from happiness and her cheeks could barely contain her smile.
"Thank you! Thank you!" She giggled, hugging all 5 girls tight, causing several laughs to erupt from each of the girls. Two pairs of feet made themselves known to the group and when they turned around, the saw gym leader of Lumious City, Clemont, and famous journalist, Alexa, standing behind them.
"So this is where you ran off to, Bonnie?" Alexa remarked, stifling her laugh.
"Bonnie… why did you have to… run away like that?" Clemont asked, huffing from a lack of oxygen. He still wasn't good at running… he was beaten by a 13 year old when he himself is a healthy 18 year old.
Suddenly, he was being dragged away by a small hand that belonged to Bonnie herself. "No questions! The girls said that they were going to meet Ash! Come on let's go!" The blond girl cheered to her equally blond brother, whose face froze before it broke out in a similar smile as Bonnies. Turning to the girls, his previous fatigue was lost.
"Really?!" He shouted at them, full of enthusiasm. They nodded in response. Turning back towards his sister, they both smiled bright before they took off in a run towards the Pokémon Centre, Bonnie leading the way like a lamp. A sigh filled the air as Alexa walked over to the group.
"Where do they get it from?" She asked, even though tears stung the corner of her own eyes. "So is he really back?"
"Yes he is, Alexa." May spoke with happiness in her voice.
"Then what are we waiting for! Come on!" She took off in her own run towards the Pokémon Centre, following Bonnie and Clemont. The girls watched on with confusion…
'And she asks where they get it from."
