Hey everyone.
I'm back. I've seen the reviews and most of you are happy that Ash is dating Cynthia as well and I want to thank you. College has started and I want to thank Maerk for wishing me luck for college so thank you. I was going to include the ages of Charles and the champions in the previous chapter but it slipped my mind so I'm going to do it in this chapter. Let's not waste any more time.
Cynthia – 25
Steven – 34
Lance – 49
Alder – 50
Charles - 65
The next morning.
Ash woke up with the sun in his eyes. He looked down and saw Diantha lying on the left side of his body. He then looked at Cynthia who was lying on the right side of his body. (From his pov)
'I'm so lucky.' Ash thought as he saw Cynthia wake up and looked at him.
"Morning Ash." Cynthia said.
"Morning." Ash replied and gave her a kiss.
"You know yesterday felt like dream." Cynthia said and Ash smiled.
"I know but I'm glad I have you two." Ash said.
"You already had your battle haven't you?" Ash asked.
"Yeah I have." Cynthia replied.
"I can guess the result." Ash said.
"I lost." Cynthia said.
"What?" Ash exclaimed.
"Just kidding babe." Cynthia said and Ash chuckled.
"I heard Diantha is battling the pervert today." Cynthia said.
"I know." Ash replied.
"What happens if he tries to do something to her?" Cynthia asked.
"We'll figure something out." Ash said as Diantha woke up.
"Morning Diantha." Ash said.
"Good morning." Diantha replied as she kissed Ash.
"How long have you two been up?" Diantha asked.
"About a minute." Ash said.
"We were just talking about your match with Brock later." Cynthia said.
"I can't wait to beat him but I'm also worried he'll try to do something to me." Diantha said.
"If he does, we'll make he'll regret it." Ash said.
"What would you do if he hit on you Cynthia?" Diantha asked.
"He did hit on me once in Sinnoh and I wanted to kick him in his balls." (He did didn't he? I can't remember.) Cynthia said.
"To be honest, back then if you did do that I would agree with that since he does try to get into pretty girl's pants a lot." Ash said.
"I thought you were dense back then." Cynthia said.
"No I wasn't. I just pretended to be dense." Ash said.
"So you noticed the looks Dawn gave you in Sinnoh and Unova?" Cynthia asked.
"Yeah. I only thought of her as a little sister though. May liked me to but I thought of her as a little sister as well. Misty was the same but she was too aggressive because whenever I disagreed with her or showed a little bit of interest in a girl, she would ether shout at me or hit me around the head with her mallet that she strangely pulls from out of nowhere plus I don't think that she's that pretty." Ash said. (I never watched the first few seasons of pokemon but I do know about that because my friends told me a few years ago. I still wonder where she keeps it. Do you think it's some sort of anime trick?)
"What about us?" Diantha asked.
"I didn't see Cynthia blush but I did notice you blush once but I figured that you knew Serena had a crush on me and thought we would end up dating and used your willpower to keep yourself from blushing whenever you were around me." Ash said.
"You got a point but look at us now." Diantha said which made Ash and Cynthia chuckle.
"True." Ash said.
"Yeah. I can actually imagine the reactions of our younger selves." Cynthia said and they laughed.
"We best get up for Diantha's match." Ash said.
"I don't want to move though." Cynthia said.
"I feel the same but we can't always get what we want." Ash said as the girls got up from his body.
Ash couldn't help but look at Cynthia's body. Her breasts were bigger than Diantha's but her ass was about the same size.
Ash then stood up and stretched.
"I'll be taking a shower." Ash said.
"I'll go in after you." Diantha said.
"Okay. I'll leave the water running." Ash said as he walked into the bathroom.
"Hey Diantha." Cynthia said gaining Diantha's attention.
"What is it?" Diantha asked.
"Why did you frown when Delia mentioned the guy in the cloak?" Cynthia asked and Diantha sighed.
"I can't talk about it." Diantha said leaving Cynthia confused.
"Why not? I told you about my past." Cynthia replied.
"Alright but only because I need to talk to someone." Diantha said.
"I know who he is." Diantha said.
"Really? Who is he?" Cynthia asked again.
"I-it's Red." Diantha said shocking Cynthia.
"No way." Cynthia exclaimed.
"I know." Diantha said.
"Why didn't you say anything yesterday?" Cynthia asked.
"Charles doesn't want me to anyone, especially Ash." Diantha said.
"Charles knows why Red disappeared?" Cynthia asked again.
"Yeah. They told me everything." Diantha said.
"Why did Red disappear?" Cynthia asked and Diantha whispered in her ear. (Going too revealed later in the chapter. Sorry guys I just felt like teasing you so you're just going have to wait.)
"Wow." Cynthia exclaimed.
"I know." Diantha said.
"So Charles doesn't want you to tell Ash?" Cynthia asked.
"No. I really want to tell him and I feel guilty for lying to him and Delia." Diantha said.
"I'll talk to Charles later." Cynthia said.
"Thank you." Diantha replied.
"You're welcome." Cynthia said.
"Have you researched aura users before Cynthia?" Diantha asked.
"Yeah why?" Cynthia asked.
"Yesterday I asked Ash how powerful he was because he caused that mini earthquake and he didn't know and we were wondering if you might know." Diantha explained.
"I have read about some powerful aura users but Ash's power is stronger than theirs combined." Cynthia said shocking Diantha.
"Most likely Ash's aura is extremely rare if it ain't mentioned in old ruins or books." Diantha said.
"I agree." Cynthia said.
A couple of minutes later Ash stepped out of the bathroom. Cynthia looked at Ash and she blushed at the sight of Ash's six pack abs.
Ash put some clothes on and walked out the bedroom while Diantha walked into the bathroom and smirked at Cynthia.
"Enjoyed the view?" Diantha asked and Cynthia's face went completely red.
"S-shut up." Cynthia said.
"Don't worry, I felt the same when I first saw his body and lucky for that I managed to contain myself for a few hours." Diantha said.
"Have you two already done it?" Cynthia asked.
"Yeah. It was great." Diantha answered with a smirk as she closed the bathroom door.
'Lucky.' Cynthia thought.
For a couple of minutes Cynthia's heart was beating fast, her hormones were out of control as dirty thoughts ran through her head which made her face go red again.
'I need to get a hold of myself.' Cynthia thought as the bathroom door opened.
"You can have a shower now Cynthia." Diantha said.
"Thanks." Cynthia said as she rushed into the shower and closed the door.
'Maybe a hot shower will calm me down.' Cynthia thought as she took her clothes off and stepped into the shower.
Cynthia sighed as the hot water ran through her body and her long blonde hair.
Cynthia felt her body relaxing as she grabbed the shower head and used it to soak her body.
She grabbed the shampoo and scrubbed her hair.
After a few minute she stepped out of the shower.
She wrapped a towel around her body and walked out the bathroom.
She dried herself off and put on some fresh clothes.
Cynthia walked into the kitchen and Pikachu jumped onto her shoulder.
"Morning Cynthia." Pikachu said but all she heard 'Pika pikachu.'
"Morning Pikachu." Cynthia replied as she scratched his chin making him 'Cha.'
"Not that I'm complaining but why do you mostly have black clothes?" Ash asked.
"When I was six I was at this little fair and at one of the stalls I won an Umbreon plush doll." Cynthia said.
"I never let Emily play with it hell she didn't even know I had it. Even though it was only a plush I actually did talk it like it was real." Cynthia said and felt a bit embarrassed.
"Wouldn't your parents have noticed it?" Ash asked.
"There was a secret space in my room that my parents never knew about so I hid it in there." Cynthia said.
"Since then it has always been my favourite colour." Cynthia said.
"Also why is your hair very long?" Ash asked again.
"I did use to have it short but when I started my journey I cut it less frequently then I used too. After a while it was down to my waist and was going to cut it but then I had grown to like it long. I do give it a trim every now and then but I always keep my hair below my waist." Cynthia explained.
"Oh." Ash said.
"Is there a problem with it?" Cynthia asked.
"No I love that way. It's just that I've wondering about it for years." Ash said as he stroked it.
"That's no surprise. A couple of fans asked me that when I gave them my autograph." Cynthia said.
"You guys ready to go?" Diantha asked.
"Yeah." Ash replied.
"I'll be going to Charles' office." Cynthia said.
"Why?" Ash asked.
"I need to talk to him." Cynthia said.
"Okay." Ash replied as they left the room.
15 minutes later
Charles was looking through some picture until he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Charles shouted and Cynthia walked in.
"What can I do for you Cynthia?" Charles asked.
"I know everything Charles." Cynthia said.
"What?" Charles asked.
"Don't play innocent Charles, Diantha told me everything." Cynthia said.
"Oh." Charles said.
"I can't believe you kept this a secret even from Delia and Ash." Cynthia said.
"We did what we had to do to protect them and anyone else who knew this." Charles replied.
Then they had the door open and someone walked.
"Long time no see Red." Cynthia said.
"So Diantha told you?" Red said.
"Yes. She also told me that she feel guilty for not telling Ash and Delia." Cynthia said.
"What do you mean 'long time no see'?" Red asked.
"Remember a forest 14 years ago?" Cynthia asked then Red clicked on.
"Cynthia Shirona?" Red asked.
"In the flesh." Cynthia said.
"Let's not change the subject." Charles said.
"Alright." Red said.
"Cynthia you cannot say anything to Ash." Charles said.
"No Charles. You may have convinced Diantha to keep this a secret but you're not gonna convince me because he needs to know and we're gonna tell him." Cynthia said.
"Cynthia I know you like Ash but you're gonna put his life in harm's way." Charles said and Red was a bit shocked that she liked Ash.
"Charles telling Ash that Red's here isn't gonna put him in danger." Cynthia replied.
"You don't know that." Charles said.
"Neither do you." Cynthia replied.
"Cynthia please." Red said.
"No Red. It's been two days and Diantha's already feeling guilty about this and we are telling him and that's the end of it." Cynthia said.
"You know, you remind me of my old girlfriend Lydia." Red said.
"What was her second name?" Cynthia asked.
"Sutomo." Red said shocking Cynthia. (It's pronounced like this. Sue-tow-mo.)
"Seriously?" Cynthia asked.
"Yeah why?" Red asked.
"Red, Lydia is Cynthia's mother." Charles said and Red was shocked.
'She's Lydia's daughter? I'm going have to talk to her when this tournament is over.' Red thought.
"Sorry. I know she and the rest of your family are a sore subject for you." Red said.
"It's okay." Cynthia said and walked to the door.
"Are you jealous of Ash and Diantha?" Charles asked.
"Why do you want to know that?" Cynthia asked.
"Because I'm getting the feeling you telling him so he can break up with her so you can date him." Charles explained and Red glared at her.
"No Charles." Cynthia said as she opened the door and walked through it.
Before she closed it she looked at Charles and Red and grinned.
"Just for the record, me and Diantha are sharing him." Cynthia said while she closed the door and left Red and Charles were shocked.
"He's dating both of them?" Charles asked.
"I'm just as shocked as you are." Red said.
"I can never keep up with this generation." Charles said.
Meanwhile
"The match between Diantha and Brock will begin momentarily." The commentator said as the crowd cheered.
Diantha walked onto the battlefield waving at the crowd and heard the usual 'I love you Diantha' and 'will you marry me?' quotes from the men and rolled her eyes.
'I'm taken boys.' Diantha thought to herself.
As she reached the field Brock walked to his side of the battlefield.
When he stopped walking he looked at Diantha and a grin appeared on his face which Ash and Diantha noticed.
'If he does anything to hurt her, I swear to Arceus I'll make him wish his mother kept her legs shut.' Ash thought. (I got that from Fast and Furious 7)
'From what Ash told me about him, I can tell what he's thinking.' Diantha thought as she grabbed a pokeball.
"This is a 2 on 2 pokemon battle between former Pewter City gym leader and Kalos Champion Diantha. The battle will be over when 2 pokemon on one side is unable to continue. Trainers release your pokemon." The referee said.
"Come on out Crobat!" Brock shouted and summoned a purple bat like pokemon with four wings.
"Aurorus show them your power." Diantha shouted as a blue dinosaur like pokemon appeared.
"Battle begin!" The referee said.
"Crobat use shadow ball!" Brock ordered and Crobat formed a black and purple ball and fired it at Aurorus.
"Aurorus deflect it back with your tail." Diantha ordered and Aurorus swung its tail and sent the ball back at Crobat.
"Crobat dodge it!" Brock shouted and Crobat dodged the ball but it skint one of Crobat's wings.
'She's as smart as she's pretty.' Brock thought.
"Crobat use air slash!" Brock ordered and Crobat's winged glowed light blue.
"Aurorus use thunder." Diantha ordered and Aurorus glowed yellow and launched a powerful lightning bolt at Crobat making it faint.
"Crobat is unable to battle. Aurorus wins." The referee said.
Brock returned Crobat and grabbed another pokeball.
"Onix let's go!" Brock shouted as a snake like pokemon with a boulder like body appeared.
"Aurorus take a break." Diantha said as she returned Aurorus to its pokeball.
"Tyrantrum come on out." Diantha said as a t-rex like pokemon appeared.
"Whoa." Brock exclaimed.
"Battle begin." The referee shouted.
"Onix use dig." Brock order and Onix dug into the ground while Diantha smirked.
"Tyrantrum use earthquake." Diantha ordered and the ground started to shake and cracks formed on the battlefield. (Earthquake does effect pokemon who are underground doesn't it?)
A few seconds later Onix emerged from the ground with swirls in its eyes. (Before any of you say that was op, ground type moves are very effective against rock type pokemon.)
"Onix is unable to battle. Tyrantrum wins and the victor is Diantha!" The referee shouted and the crowd cheered.
"Thank you Tyrantrum." Diantha said as she returned Tyrantrum too its pokeball and walked away.
Brock walked to Onix and gave it a smile.
"Don't worry Onix. We did battle a champion and they are very strong." Brock said as he returned Onix too its pokeball. He looked up and Diantha was already gone.
10 minutes later.
Diantha grabbed her pokemon from Nurse Joy and walked out of the pokemon centre.
"Hey Diantha." A voice said which she recognised.
"Hi Serena." Diantha replied in a slightly angry tone which Serena.
"What's with the weird tone?" Serena asked.
"I know what you did to Ash 6 years ago." Diantha said and Serena instantly frowned.
"How do you know?" Serena asked again.
"Here's a better question. Why did you force him to quit his dream?" Diantha asked and Serena looked down at the floor while tears formed in her eyes.
"I didn't want him to quit his dream." Serena said as she started to cry and Diantha was confused.
"Then why did you do it?" Diantha asked again.
"They took my mother hostage." Serena said while crying into her hands.
"They did what?" Diantha exclaimed.
"It started a few days before that day." Serena said.
Flashback 6 years ago.
Serena walked into her house and placed her bag on the floor.
"Mum I'm home!" Serena shouted but there was no reply.
"Hello Serena." A voice said from behind her.
She quickly turned around and saw girl with orange hair and recognised her. (I decided to not go into specifics so I'm just going to tell you she's wearing the clothes from the first season.)
"You're Misty." Serena said.
"That's right." Misty replied.
"What are you doing in my house?" Serena asked.
"I want you to help me and my friends to make Ash quit his dream." Misty said shocking Serena.
"Why should Ash quit his dream?" Serena asked.
"Because he's weak and after losing 6 leagues it proves he doesn't have what takes to be a pokemon master." Misty said.
"He is not weak and I'm not going to help you." Serena said and Misty shook her head.
"Yes you are." Misty said.
"How are you gonna make me?" Serena asked and Misty grinned.
Misty turned on the TV and an image on her mother appeared on the screen. She had bruises on her face and body.
"MUM!" Serena exclaimed.
"Just so you know this is live and we're the only ones seeing this." Misty said.
"How do I know this is not real?" Serena asked and Misty pulled a phone out of her pocket.
"Put her on." Misty ordered and handed Serena the phone.
"Mum?" Serena said nervously.
"Serena, is that you?" Grace asked.
"Yeah it's me." Serena replied.
"Mum do you see a camera in front of you?" Serena asked.
"Yeah." Grace said as Misty took the phone away and hung up.
"You know what to do." Misty said as she walked to the door.
"If you tell anyone we'll kill her." Misty said as she closed the door.
'I'm sorry Ash.' Serena thought.
Flashback ending
Diantha was shocked at what Serena said to her.
"Come with me." Diantha said which made Serena confused.
15 minutes later
Diantha and Serena stood outside the Arceus suite and Diantha decided to knock on the door.
The door opened and Ash stood there with his cloak on.
"Hello Diantha." Ash said.
"Hello Raiden." Diantha replied which made Ash confused but he then noticed Serena.
"What is she doing here?" Ash asked whispering.
Diantha then told Ash what Serena said to her.
"Okay Serena, this isn't going hurt." Ash said he placed his hand in front of Serena.
"What are you doing?" Serena asked.
"I'm going to read your mind." Ash said and placed his hand on her head.
After a minute Ash took his hand off Serena's head.
"She's telling the truth." Ash said.
"Thank you." Diantha said.
"Is this why you brought me here?" Serena asked.
"Not just that." Diantha said and Ash took his cloak off.
Serena stood there with her hands covering her mouth shocked as Ash stood before her and tears formed in her eyes again.
"Ash." Serena exclaimed as she hugged him and cried onto his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry Ash." Serena said.
"It's okay you were forced to do it." Ash said.
"Are we friends again?" Serena asked.
"Not yet. It will take some time for you to regain my trust." Ash said.
"Well better than nothing I guess." Serena said.
"Are you still not allowed to say anything about this?" Ash asked.
"Yeah. I'm taking a big risk telling you." Serena said.
"Okay. Go tell your mother to go to my house in Kanto. My Gardevoir is there with my mother." Ash said.
"Will she let her stay?" Serena asked.
"She will." Ash said.
"While they don't know you are here, I could spy on them for you." Serena said.
"That's actually a good idea Serena." Diantha said.
"Took the words right out of my mouth." Ash said and Diantha giggled.
"Hey Ash since you have a girlfriend-" Serena said while put his hand up.
"I know you're in love with me but I never had feelings for you." Ash said and Serena cried.
Ash then hugged her as she cried.
"I hate doing this but I knew I had to tell you one day." Ash said.
"I know you'll find another guy and if he treats you badly I'll kick his ass. Literally." Ash said and Serena giggled.
"Thank you." Serena said as she wiped her tears.
"By the way how is Max feeling after seeing Jirachi?" Ash asked.
"He was heartbroken but he and the others have in their heads that you stole him." Serena said.
"Most likely they'll want me to give Jirachi to them." Ash said.
"They do but they said they're going to 'rescue' him if you refuse." Serena said.
"Then I'll send Jirachi to mum." Ash said.
"Good idea." Diantha said.
"Just out of curiosity. Who is your girlfriend?" Serena asked and Ash grinned.
"Let's just say you know her." Ash said.
"Shauna?" Serena guessed.
"No." Ash replied.
"Penelope?" Serena guessed again.
"Nope." Ash said grinning.
"Aria?" Serena guessed.
"Yes." Ash said.
"Really?" Serena asked.
"No just kidding." Ash said laughing.
Serena was thinking of other girls she knew and noticed Diantha smile at the corner of her eye.
"No way. Is it Diantha?" Serena asked and Ash nodded.
Then Serena fainted.
"If this was her reaction then imagine her reaction if she finds out about Cynthia." Diantha said.
"Yeah." Ash said as he picked Serena up.
"I'll take her back to her hotel room." Ash said.
"You don't know where it is." Diantha said.
"Don't forget, I can read minds." Ash said.
"Oh yeah." Diantha replied.
Ash teleported out of the room and on cue the door opened and Cynthia walked through.
"Where's Ash?" Cynthia asked.
"He just teleported to Serena's room." Diantha said.
"One of the traitors?" Cynthia asked again.
"I'll explain later but why do you need Ash?" Diantha asked.
"We're telling him everything." Cynthia replied.
A minute later Ash teleported back into the room and saw Cynthia and Diantha sitting at the table.
"Hey Ash there's something we got to tell you." Cynthia said.
"Alright." Ash said and sat down.
Ash looked at them and noticed Diantha looking nervous.
"You know that guy who knocked you out last week?" Diantha asked.
"Yeah. What about him?" Ash asked.
"We know who he is." Diantha said.
"Then who is he?" Ash asked and Diantha's heart started to beat faster.
"It's your father." Cynthia said shocking Ash.
"When did you find out?" Ash asked.
"Diantha told me today and she found out a couple days ago." Cynthia said and Ash looked at Diantha.
"So that what Charles wanted to talk to you about." Ash said.
"I wanted to tell you sooner but Charles and Red said that I'd be putting you in danger." Diantha said.
"Why did he disappear?" Ash asked again.
"Do you remember Team Rocket, Aqua, Magma, Galactic, Plasma and Flare?" Diantha asked.
"Yeah I remember them." Ash replied.
"Red kept foiling their plans for a long time and the teams formed a temporary truce and put a very large bounty on his head for mercenaries to kill him." Cynthia said.
"All of them had a lot of money so I'm guessing that the bounty was large." Ash said and the girls nodded.
"8 zeros." Diantha said shocking Ash again.
"Dad must have really pissed them off." Ash said.
"The six bosses would also increase the money if you are any other person in your family is killed." Cynthia said.
"So he disappeared to protect me and Mum?" Ash asked.
"Yeah. He regrets leaving but he had no choice." Cynthia said.
Ash sat there taking all the information in.
Diantha and Cynthia then stood up and walked towards him and hugged him from behind.
"I'm so sorry for lying to you Ash." Diantha said.
"By the way why was Serena here?" Cynthia asked.
"The traitors kidnapped her mother six years ago." Ash said and Cynthia was shocked.
"So she was forced to betray you?" Cynthia asked.
"Yeah. I did tell her that she'll have to regain my trust and she'll spy on them for us." Ash said.
"That's a good idea." Cynthia said.
"I already said that." Diantha said.
"Let's check who we're battling next." Ash said and turned on the TV.
Ash found his picture and next to it was May's picture.
"Life loves me right now." Ash said.
Done
So you now know why Red disappeared. I think Red only took down Team Rocket but this is fanfiction. I would have finished this sooner but like I said on the top on the page that college has started. I am not giving up on this story. Zeckromizder I have read your fanfic and I like it so far and keep up the good work.
Peace.
