Chapter 12: The Time has come
Ash, Greninja and Charizard are looking at their former friend and teammate with hone thing on their minds, "How should I crush this rat?"
"I never saw that coming." Dawn said in shock.
"Yeah, but it means that those pieces of shit wanted us to believe that the rat was dead so we can fell pity or throw Ash off his game." Paul said while glaring at the yellow electric rat.
"Most likely." Max said.
"When Ash is finished with him. He's gonna wish he died for real." Damien said while looking at Ash.
"I'll handle Pikachu Greninja." The black Charizard told the blue ninja.
"Sorry but he's mine." Greninja told the black Charizard.
The two glared at each other, "Guys." Ash said making the two turn to him.
"Remember the agreement?" Ash asked.
"Yeah we do." The two said in unison and disappointed. They turned their attention back to their opponents.
"Delphox use Hidden Power on Greninja!" Serena shouted.
Delphox brought out her stick, created and aimed several energy orbs at Greninja. But Delphox can't seem to fire them. She looked at her hand and saw that it's shaking.
"I can't do it. I can't attack Greninja." Delphox thought to herself.
"Delphox what are you waiting for? Attack Greninja!" She ordered again.
Delphox dissolved the attack and looked down shaking her head slowly.
"It would appear that Delphox's heart can't attack Greninja." Ash told the honey-blonde trainer.
"No way! Delphox stop thinking with your heart and battle!" Serena yelled at Delphox.
Delphox flinched at the tone Serena is giving her and looked back at Greninja.
Greninja opened his eyes and looked at Delphox with a bit of sadness in them.
After a few minutes of Delphox not launching an attack and Serena has had enough, "Alright if you want to be with Greninja you can stay with him!" Serena yelled as she stomped on Delphox's Poke ball smashing it into pieces.
Everyone in the stadium, Ash and Greninja are shocked by the fact that Serena would do this to her partner apart from the other traditors.
But none were more shocked then Delphox knowing that her partner and best friend just abandoned her for not attacking but then again this has been happening for a while.
Delphox suddenly felt someone grabbing her underneath it was Greninja carrying her bridal style taking her to Ash.
Ash looked at her with sorrow, "I'm sorry Delphox I'll make her pay for this." He told her making her nod in response and Greninja took his place back on a pad.
"Well Serena will be dis-"
"No she won't." Ash interrupted John.
"But sir-"
"I know but for now let her choose another Pokemon. I'm allowing this." Ash told John with a glare.
"Yes sir. Miss Serena chose a different Pokemon." John told the Kalos native girl.
"You're gonna regret that. Absol go!" Serena yelled as her disaster Pokemon appeared. She had a Keystone around her neck.
"She can Mega Evolve huh?" Ash asked himself.
"Alright Pikachu this is what we have been waiting for. Let's show him who the best is." Clemont said determined to Pikachu who nodded in agreement.
"I can't wait to show you that you're nothing." Pikachu said confidently while the two Pokemon were unfazed by this.
"Absol let's get stronger Mega Evolve!" Serena yelled as her Keystone reacted to Absol's Mega Stone.
Once the light died down Absol now has wings, "Alright use Dark Pulse!" Serena shouted as Absol fired purple circles at Charizard.
The Dark Pulse collided with Charizard that exploded on impact. As the smoke cleared it revealed Charizard undamaged.
"You guys want to handle this on your own?" Ash asked.
Gaining nods from the two, "Then hold nothing back!" Ash ordered.
"We never do!" The two yelled in unison.
"Absol use X-scissor!" Serena yelled as Absol jumped off her pad and crossed her front legs together and created a green glow that headed for Greninja.
"Let's take care of the interruption." Greninja suggested.
"I agree." Charizard simply said.
Just as the X-scissor was about to make contact with Greninja he vanished. Absol landed on the pad Greninja was on and Greninja slammed her with an Ice Punch.
This made her yelled in pain as her right wing froze, "Pikachu help Absol use Thunderbolt!" Clemont yelled as Pikachu jumped and gathered electricity and fired a lightning bolt at Greninja.
Charizard jumped in front of Greninja and Thunderbolt made contact with him but Charizard doesn't seem hurt by this, shocking Clemont and Pikachu.
"That tickles." Charizard said with a smirk scaring Pikachu a bit.
Charizard turned back to Absol who is struggling to get up, she grabs her head, looked at Greninja and the two nodded.
Charizard threw Absol in the air. Greninja jumped and gave her Aerial Ace's to the stomach. Another to her head after he was done he threw her to Charizard.
"Pikachu use Thunder!" Clemont yelled as Pikachu fired a stronger lightning bolt at Greninja.
The attack collided with Greninja causing an explosion. This made Clemont and Pikachu grin by how much damage he took.
"Greninja!" Delphox yelled in concern.
As the smoke cleared Greninja wasn't there but a log was there instead.
This made Clemont and Pikachu confused until he appeared in front of Pikachu and slammed him with Night Slash causing him to fall in the water.
Charizard grabbed Absol by her neck and Greninja went back to Ash's side.
Charizard threw Absol followed by a Draco Meteor underneath her. That exploded in the air causing smaller meteors to hit the water causing steam to come from the water.
As the steam cleared the field it revealed Pikachu on a pad somewhat ok. But Absol went back to her normal form, unconscious and floating in the water.
"Absol is unable to battle!" John declared.
Serena returned Absol, "Thanks for nothing." She said angrily and quietly at Absol so no one can hear her but Ash did and he's angry at her.
"Ash." Delphox gained Ash's attention.
"Yes?" Ash asked.
"There's something you should know." Delphox told the Torren Champion.
"What?" Ash asked.
Delphox lifted her arms revealing cuts marks and bruises so that on one can see them expect Ash.
This made Ash's eyes wide open in shock but quickly turned to anger, "Serena did this didn't she?" He asked.
She lowered her arms and nodded slowly, "As soon as this match finishes I'll get you healed." Ash told the fire fox Pokemon who nodded to him.
Ash turned to Serena and Clemont, "You bastards are gonna pay for what you did." Ash thought to himself.
"Crush him Clemont." Serena told Clemont making him nod in response.
"Alright, just to give Pikachu that much more pain." Ash said as he raised his left arm and Greninja raised his right arm and a cyclone of water appeared transforming him into Ash-Greninja. The water turned into a big Water Shuriken
Ash also tapped his Keystone making Charizard Mega stone react to it Mega evolving him.
The sky became pitch black making all Dark and Ghost moves are getting a power up.
"We'll still win! Pikachu use Volt Tackle!" Clemont yelled as Pikachu became surrounded by golden electricity as he jumped from pad to pad making his way to the pair.
Charizard use Dragon Rush at the incoming Pikachu the two attacks collided but Charizard easily overpowered the Volt Tackle causing Pikachu to fall in the water again.
Once Pikachu got out of the water he saw Charizard. He grabbed him, "I've been waiting seven years for this." Charizard told the rat and then threw him in the air.
Charizard flew so he can meet him and used Fire Punch in his left hand and Ice Punch in his right hand.
He punched the rat with both attacks and pushed him towards Greninja.
Greninja jumped up who Ash mimicked the same movements as Greninja.
Greninja brought the huge Water Shuriken and slammed it on Pikachu like an axe that made him get slammed into the water again.
After a few seconds Pikachu came out of the water badly bruised and had many cuts of him.
"Come on Pikachu I know you can beat him!" Clemont yelled determinedly.
"How low can you go?" Max asked while looking at Pikachu.
"Apparently very low, not even caring about his Pokemon." Nora said.
"You can end this with that super move." Charizard told Greninja.
"Thank you." Greninja thanked the black Delta Pokemon.
Greninja took the Water Shuriken off his back and raised it the air making it spin around and it sucked the darkness from the dark making it grow.
By the time it was done the sky was blue again. The Water Shuriken is now pitch black, dark powers pouring out of it and much bigger than the one he made in Kalos.
Clemont, Serena and Pikachu are terrified by what is in front of them. The rest of the crowd is shock by how much power that Greninja has.
"I've never seen a Water Shuriken like that before!" Alain said in shock.
"This is the result of hard training for the past seven years of traveling and stopping the cults." Bonnie told him.
"Now I'm looking forward to battling him more than ever." Paul said determined.
"Well you better prepared for the battle of your life then." Nora told the purple hair trainer.
"Oh don't worry I am." Paul said determinately.
"Say goodnight traditor." Charizard said while smirking at the rat.
"Let him have it." Ash said darkly as Greninja threw the black Water Shuriken at Pikachu who is too scared to move.
As a result the black Shuriken made contact with Pikachu causing it to create a massive explosion.
As the smoke cleared it revealed Pikachu floating in the water with broken remains of a pad around him and Pikachu badly injured and unconscious.
"Pikachu is unable to battle. This means the winner is Ash the Augur!" John declared at the crowd cheered as Charizard and Greninja went back to their normal forms.
Charizard flew to where Pikachu is and threw him towards Clemont who caught him, "Pikachu are you ok?!" Clemont shouted in concern.
But Pikachu didn't give a response. Clemont glared at the three and saw Ash walking towards them. The field close so he was able to walk to them
Ash stopped in front of Serena, "What?" She asked.
Ash glared at her for a few seconds until, "Serena Yvonne. You're under arrest." Ash told her coldly making the crowd gasp.
"What for?!" Serena yelled at him.
"For Pokemon Abuse." Ash told her as face went pale.
This made the crowd shock, "Ash sir where is the abuse? If you don't mind me asking sir." John asked.
Ash turned from Serena and looked at Delphox who nodded her head raising her arms revealing the cut marks on her body making the crowd even more shocked.
Even Greninja looked shocked by what he saw.
"That's horrible!" Nora yelled.
"How could you?!" Bonnie asked.
"That's crossing the line!" Damien yelled.
"Take her away." Ash said as guards appeared from the corridor, grabbed Serena and dragged her away while she is trying to escape their grasp but they're too strong.
The crowd went silent after what they saw until Ash grabbed a Microphone, "I'm so sorry about that interruption. But now we'll get the tournament back underway, to find who the best trainer is!" Ash yelled as the crowd cheered.
Ash gave John the microphone and turned to Clemont who is glaring at Ash hatefully.
Ash just turned away, returned Charizard but not Greninja. He, Greninja and Delphox left the stadium.
As he is walking he notices Delphox trying to hold Greninja's hand. Greninja saw what Delphox was trying to do and grabbed it which made her shock but she quickly relaxed when leaned her head on Greninja's shoulder.
This made Ash smile knowing that his best friend found love like him and Lillie.
(Ash's POV)
"ASH!" A voice shouted out gaining the mine and the Kalos starter's attention.
I turned to see the traditors but not Clemont with pissed off looks, "Get lost." I simply said. I was about to leave until a hand grabbed my shoulder.
I turned to see Iris, "You sent Serena to prison and put Pikachu, Chespin, Pancham and Absol under critical condition! Are you saying that you don't care!?" Iris asked.
"Since you asked. No I don't." I said while giving her a cold glare that can pierce a soul.
"Y-You BASTARD!" Iris yelled as she was about to punch me until I grabbed her hand.
"Nice grip. Let me show you mine." I said as my other hand grabbed Iris's neck.
"Ash let her go. She's not worth it." Max called out as he and Drayden walked down the hall.
I looked back at Iris and dropped her as she recalled her breath.
"I wonder what the public would say if they saw you assaulting their protector and discover that you're friends with the Pokemon abuser." I asked them with a cold tone.
They went suddenly went quiet, "That's what I thought." I said as I was about to walk away.
"Ash Ketchum!" My ex-mom called out to me.
"Leave now." Ash told her ex-mother.
"Don't talk to me young man and I want to ask you something." She told me.
I sighed, "Say what you want and get lost." I told her coldly
"Don't you want your old life back? Get Serena out of prison and marry her so our generation can live on." She demanded.
"I would rather die." I told them coldly.
I saw her expression to shock and angry one, "I'm your mother you can't disobey me!" She yelled at me about to slap me.
"So who's my father then?" I asked making her stop dead in my tracks.
"You know damn well who your dad is. It's Red Ketchum!" She yelled at me.
"Really?" I asked making her nod.
"That's a load of bullshit." I told her.
"What do you mean by that young man?" Drayden asked me.
"My real father was not Red Ketchum he was the first Augur of the Torren Region Adam Rift." I told everyone making my ex-mum eye's go wide open in shock.
"Did you honestly think I wouldn't find who my real father was after seven years of living here?" I asked my so-called-mother.
"I-I umm." She couldn't find the words she's looking for.
"That's what I thought. Now a warning." I looked at the traditors.
"If you come near me, my friends or my family I'll make sure the world knew what you did to me, Dawn and Johanna. Do I make myself clear?" I asked them making them nod immediately.
I turned to Greninja and Delphox, "Come you two I'll get you fixed up ok." I told Delphox making her nod in agreement and the three of us left the group.
(Max' POV)
I saw Ash, Greninja who was holding hands with Delphox walk away.
I turned my attention back to the traditors specifically my sister, "I'll see you on the battlefield sis." I told May.
"You better look forward to me beating you in front of millions of people." She told me smugly while smirking.
"Sure. Just don't cry when you lose." I told her while I saw Drayden walking up to Iris.
"Drayden sir?" She told the Dragon master.
"I'm disappointed Iris." He told her sternly.
I saw her the shock look on her face, this made me smile by her look, "W-What for sir?" She asked.
"Why did you betray Ash?" He asked her.
"He was weak and holding me back from becoming a dragon master." She told him sternly.
I narrowed my eyes at her and was about to say something, "YOU FOOL!" Drayden yelled making Iris flinch.
"Ash didn't hold you back. If anything you held him back, and if I recalled he made time to see the Village of Dragon's when he could've trained for the Unova League." He told her seriously.
"But I-"
"Save it. You will not be the Opelucid gym leader when I retire and you are banned from entering the Village of Dragon's." He told her.
I saw her starting to tear up, "Wh-What? Please don't do this Drayden!" She yelled to him desperately.
"I can and I will now get out of my sight now!" He yelled as Iris started to cry and ran away.
The other traditors ran after her expect May. I saw her talk to Drew and ran off in the opposite direction and Drew followed the others.
Once they were gone I turned to Drayden who sighed, "You okay sir?" I asked.
"Yeah. I'm just disappointed in Iris." He said.
"Well our match is about to start. Let's get going." I suggested, making him nod in response and we made for the battlefield.
(Third Person POV)
Ash, Greninja and Delphox are on their way back to the Torren box where inside Ash was greeted by a hug from Lillie which he returned.
They broke apart after a bit. "You're a bit late." Nora said.
"Sorry about that. Some pricks held me up." Ash said while referring to the traditors.
"Well done giving the rat what he deserved." Paul told the Torren Champion.
"Thanks Paul at least Charizard and Greninja is satisfied. For now." Ash said.
"Enough of this betrayal. Come here." Lillie said while bring Ash into another hug.
Ash returned and after a few seconds Ash broke apart much to Lillie disappointment, "I need to heal Delphox Lillie." Ash told her while she turned to Delphox who was being held by Greninja.
She turned back to Ash and nodded her head and Ash walked toward Delphox who showed him her wounds and began to use his aura to heal them.
"How is she?" Bonnie asked.
"These wounds will heal but it will take a bit of time." Ash said while still healing Delphox.
"Thank you Ash." Delphox thanked the Torren Champion.
"No worries Delphox." Ash replied.
She looked to her left side for a few minutes until she faced him again, "Can make a request?" She asked.
"Sure what is it?" Ash asked.
"Can you please get the others away from Serena, they didn't know what she did to me and I'm afraid for them." she requested.
Ash smiled at her, "Of course I will and I'll make sure what she did." He said warmly.
"Thank you so much." Delphox said while bowing her head.
"What was that about?" Mairin asked.
"Delphox wants me to bring Serena's other Pokemon because she's afraid what she'll do to them." Ash explained.
"Fair enough. Oh look Max's battle is starting." Bonnie said as she saw Max and Drayden entering the field.
Max and Drayden are entering the battlefield which is now a grass field that has longer grass on the sides.
The opponents May and Xavier arrived as well with May glaring at Max.
"She's mine." Max told Drayden while looking at May.
"Alright then." Drayden replied.
"Let the battle begin!" John yelled.
"Glaceon take the stage!" May yelled, as her ice version of Eevee appeared.
"Druddigon go!" Drayden yelled as his blue dragon type appeared with a roar.
"Heracross swarm the field!" Xavier yelled as his bug and fighting type appeared.
"Poliwrath let's go!" Max yelled as his water and fighting type appeared.
"Glaceon use Blizzard!" May yelled as Glaceon jumped in front and fried a snow storm at the pair.
"Use Surf!" Max shouted as Poliwrath created a wave and pushed it towards the Blizzard.
When the two attacks collided the Blizzard froze the water and created snow that covered the centre of the field.
"Heracross use Focus Blast!" Xavier ordered as Heracross's horn created a blue sphere and threw it at Druddigon.
"Use Dragon Claw and follow it by Flamethrower!" Drayden shouted, as Druddigon's claws became bigger and green.
The Dragon Claw sliced the Focus Blast in-half and then fired a Flamethrower at Glaceon.
The flames made contact with Glaceon forcing her back. Once the fire stopped Glaceon had a few burn marks on her but somewhat fine.
"Glaceon use Giga Impact!" May shouted as Glaceon became surrounded by a purple aura with yellow strips and dashed towards Poliwrath.
"Grab it." Max ordered.
Just as the Giga Impact was about to make impact, Poliwrath grabbed Glaceon by the head stopping the attack.
"Glaceon!" May yelled in concern.
"Use Poison Jab." Max ordered, as Poliwrath's fist glowed purple and punched Glaceon in the stomach multiple times making her yell in pain.
"Finish her with Dynamic Punch!" Max shouted as Poliwrath's fist changed from purple to brown.
Poliwrath threw Glaceon in the air, "Glaceon get out of there!" May shouts in concern.
But Glaceon couldn't do anything. When she came in front of Poliwrath punched Glaceon with Dynamic Punch sending her flying past May into a wall and creating a crater.
When Glaceon fell out of the crater she became unconscious, "Glaceon is unable to battle!" John declared.
May returned her Glaceon, "Blaziken take the stage!" May yelled, as her Hoenn fire started appeared with flames coming out of his wrist.
"Heracross use Horn Attack!" Xavier shouted as Heracross's horn glowed white and he flew towards Druddigon.
"Take it!" Drayden ordered as Druddigon took the Horn Attack pushing him back a bit.
"Use Fire and Ice Punch to grab him, then use Thunder Fang!" Drayden ordered as Druddigon's right fist became on fire and the left one became icy.
Druddigon grabbed Heracross with his fist to prevent him from escaping while at the same time dealing a lot of damage to him.
"Blaziken use Blaze Kick and get Heracross out of there!" May ordered, as Blaziken jumped up and her foot became on fire and aimed it at Druddigon.
"Use Rock Slide!" Max ordered as Poliwrath summoned boulders from the sky and headed towards Blaziken.
The boulders made contact with Blaziken, stopping her Blaze kick and bringing her to the ground with the boulders on top of her burying her.
The Thunder Fang made direct contact with Heracross on his head.
When Druddigon released Heracross, he fell on the ground unconscious, "Heracross is unable to battle!" John yelled.
Xavier returned Heracross and brought out another Poke ball, "Beedrill, go!" Xavier yelled as his bee Pokemon appeared above the field.
At the same time Blaziken unburied herself out of the pile of rubble. She came out not looking the best. She had scratches on her body.
"We're not giving up. Blaziken use-"
"Wait a minute." Xavier interrupted May.
"What for!?" She demanded to know why she had stop.
"We're up against a member of the Elite Four we need to think about how we're gonna battle him. Plus I've battle him before and it was a tough one." Xavier told the brunette.
"So we need to go all out." Xavier said as he took out a Keystone from his pocket that reacted from Beedill's Mega stone
"Beedrill Mega Evolve!" Xavier yelled as Beedrill evolved into Mega Beedrill.
This made May smirk and turned her attention back to her brother, "Blaziken can you go on?" May asked, gaining a nod from Blaziken.
"Alright then use Agility to get close and close Acrobatics!" May ordered.
Blaziken started to ran at a fast pace, increasing her speed and once she got close to Poliwrath she gave him a few punches on one side, ran to another side and punched him again. She did this a few times.
"Druddigon help Poliwrath use Dragon Claw!" Drayden yelled.
Druddigon's claws became green and scaly, he ran towards Blaziken.
"Beedrill use Pin Missile!" Xavier shouted as Beedrill's stringers became green and fired multiple energy missiles at Druddigon.
The missiles made contact with Druddigon causing him to grunt in pain.
"Now give Blaziken a hand with your own Acrobatics!" Xavier yelled as Beedrill became surrounded by a white-blueish aura and started to hit Poliwrath along with Blaziken.
"Druddigon use Fire Fang!" Drayden shouted as the Unova dragon type's mouth became on fire and ran towards the three Pokemon.
"Beedrill use Hyper Beam!" Xavier ordered as Beedrill fired a purple beam at Druddigon causing an explosion.
As the smoke cleared it showed Druddigon unconscious with swirly eyes, "Druddigon is unable to battle!" John declared.
"Thank you old friend. Salamence go!" Drayden yelled as his flying and dragon type appeared in the air.
"Beedrill is Acrobatics on Poliwrath again!" Xavier yelled as Beedrill turned back to Poliwrath and Blaziken and flew back to them.
"Wait for the right moment and then use Hypnosis." Max said softly so no one can hear him expect Poliwrath who nodded in response and prepared a Hypnosis.
Blaziken and Beedrill kept him, until he saw the right time, he fired Hypnosis, the two Pokemon fell asleep and fell on the ground.
"Blaziken/Beedrill!" May and Xavier yelled at their own Pokemon.
Poliwrath kneed down with one hand on his left knee and with right knee on the ground while panting hard.
"Can you go on?" Max asked as Poliwrath nodded slowly.
"Ok, then use Waterfall on Blaziken!" Max yelled, as Poliwrath summoned water, rode the water and slammed it into Blaziken hard.
"Salamence use Dragon Rush on Beedrill!" Drayden yelled, as Salamence surrounded himself with purple dragon aura and shot himself at Beedrill, making direct contact with him.
The two attacks pushed Blaziken and Salamence to their side, "Beedrill/Blaziken wake up!" May and Xavier yelled at their Pokemon trying to wake them up but they got no response.
"Salamence use Draco Meteor!" Drayden yelled.
"Poliwrath use Earthquake!" Max ordered.
Salamence gathered orange dragon energy. At the same time Poliwrath slammed his foot on the ground making the ground shake dealing a lot of damage to sleeping pair.
Salamence fired the orange energy in the sky causing meteors to come down on top of them causing an explosion.
As the smoke cleared it revealed Blaziken and Beedrill unconscious with swirly eyes and Beedrill went back to his normal form, "Blaziken and Beedrill are unable to battle! This means the winners are Max and Drayden!" John declared as the crowd cheered.
May is shocked that she was defeated by her brother again.
All four trainers returned their Pokemon Max shot daggers and left the battlefield along with Drayden shortly after they left May and Xavier left as well.
(Max's POV)
Drayden and me are walking along until, "Max I need to make a phone call. I'll see you later." Drayden told me.
"Sure I'll catch up with you later." I replied as we walked in different direction.
I'm heading back to the room until, "MAX!" A voice I know too well. I turned to see my sister with steam coming out of her head.
"Leave." I told her coldly as I was about to walk away, until she grab my shoulder.
"You're not going anywhere until you answer me a question." May demanded.
I shrugged off her grip, "Fine what do you want?" I asked impatiently.
"Why did you side with Ash?" She asked.
"Because he's my role model, we had such amazing adventures here and Hoenn, he got me and Bonnie together and he made me a good trainer. Basically I can go on about it, but it will always lead to the same result. I'll never betray Ash." I explained.
She looked angry by my response which made me smirk on the inside, "But why? He's a terrible trainer!" May yelled.
I narrowed his eyes at her, I'm losing my patience, "If he's such a terrible trainer then why is he the champion and Augur?" I asked this time.
"He probably just cheated them out of their titles." She answered.
"What an interesting answer." A voice called out. We turned to see Ash walking towards us, along with Gladion and Calreath.
"Hey Ash." I said happily.
"Hey Max good job, Bonnie's waiting for you by the way. You better go and see her, I'll deal with May." Ash told me while glaring at May.
"Sure." I simply said as I walked away leaving them behind, "Good luck May. You're gonna need it." I thought to myself with a smirk.
(Ash's POV)
"You have quite a lot of nerve saying that I cheated the pervious Augur and Champion out of their titles." I told May while giving her a pierce looking glare.
I saw that she started to shutter which is good, "W-well h-how else c-could you get those titles?" She asked.
"Through work hard, determination, believing in my Pokemon and never quitting. That's how." I told her.
"THAT'S RIDICULOUS! There's no way that you could've done that!" She yelled.
I smirked at her, "What's so funny?" She asked.
"Just looking at you, I wonder what Manaphy would say if he learned you betrayed his father?" I asked amused.
Her eyes wide open a bit, "W-well he's not here is he." She said as my smirk git bigger.
I turned to Calreath who nodded and threw a Poke ball up as it opened it revealed to be Manaphy who went on top on Calreath's head.
I turned back to May who eyes are wide open upon seeing her child, "MANAPHY!" She yelled.
I looked at Manaphy who appeared to be disappointed. He jumped from Calreath to my shoulder, "Papa why is May here?" He asked me.
I saw May's eyes started to tear up when he didn't call her 'Mama.'
I turned to Manaphy, "You see she was invited in the Master Tournament but she lost." I explained to him.
"Okay papa." He replied.
"Manaphy I'm your mama! Don't you remember me?!" she asked making the four turn to her.
I saw Manaphy closed his eyes, "Yes I do." He started causing May to have hope.
"But you hurt papa. Papa told me how you betrayed him so May you aren't Mama anymore." Manaphy told May as her hope and heart were shattered.
May fell on her knees and started crying "May why you betray papa?" Manaphy asked.
She looked at us, "B-*Sniff*because he- he wasn't a g-good trainer, and h-he hel-held us back." She shuttered between words.
I turned to Manaphy who looked angry and disappointed, "Papa saved Torren mine and papa's home. He defeated very bad people and made Torren a happy place. Papa is a fantastic trainer." Manaphy scolded his former mother.
I saw May looking at her hands, got up and ran away with tears coming down her face.
I looked at Manaphy who looked a bit upset, "I wouldn't worry about her. She'll get what's coming to her." I told the sea prince.
He nodded his head, "Okay papa." He replied.
I turned to Gladion and Calreath, "You guys better get going." I told them who nodded in response.
"Uncle, can I stay with papa?" Manaphy asked.
"Of course you can." Calreath told his pixie Pokemon.
"Thank you!" He yelled.
"Me with Manaphy on my shoulder went back to the box and Gladion with Calreath went to the battlefield.
"Looking forward to seeing everyone again?" I asked.
"Yes papa. I am." Manaphy replied happily.
(Third Person POV)
Gladion and Calreath walked to the battlefield which is now a forest field and are faced their opponents Aaron and Candice.
"Battle begin!" John yelled.
"Show me your keen eye Weavile!" Candice yells as her Sharp Claw Pokemon appeared.
"Politoed make a splash!" Calreath yelled as his frog Pokemon appeared and clap.
"Beautifly let's make a scene!" Aaron yelled as his butterfly Pokemon appeared flying.
"Blastoise into battle." Gladion said as the final form of the Kanto started appeared and shot water into the air.
"Let's make it rain! Politoed use Rain Dance!" Calreath yelled as Politoed started to do a dance as thunder clouds formed in the sky. Once there were enough clouds, it started to rain, hard.
"Weavile use Ice Beam on the ground!" Candice shouted as Weavile fired a beam of ice on the battlefield freezing the trees and the grass around them.
"Beautifly use Sliver Wind!" Aaron yelled as Beautifly flapped his wings together and created a silver wind at Blastoise.
"Use Hydro Pump." Gladion said as Blastoise fired a powerful jet of water from his cannons.
Thanks to the rain the Hydro Pump got a power increase. It easily destroyed the Sliver Wind and collided with Beautifly making him crash into a frozen tree.
"Beautifly!" Aaron yelled in concern as Beautifly shot his head and flew back up somewhat fine.
"Weavile skate across the ice and use Shadow Claw!" Candice shouted.
Weavile skated across the ice with his claw glowing purple and getting bigger, as he headed towards Politoed.
"Politoed use Brick Break!" Calreath yelled as Politoed's hand glowed brown.
When Weavile got close he tried to hit but ended slipping letting Weavile slash him with Shadow Claw.
"Give him another!" Candice shouted as Weavile turned around and skated towards Politoed.
"Blastoise use Rapid Spin." Gladion ordered as Blastoise withdrew his arms, head and legs.
He started to spin his shell around fast and head for the incoming Weavile. Before Weavile could hit Politoed Blastoise collided with Weavile and started to grind him with one of the frozen trees.
"Beautifly use Energy Ball and help Weavile!" Aaron yelled as Beautifly gathered grass energy and formed a sphere and fired it on top of Blastoise's shell causing him to withdraw from his attack and made his way back to Gladion.
Gladion turned to Calreath, "I have a plan. Best if you get high up. If you know what I mean." Gladion told the Water Torren leader who nodded in response.
"Politoed use Bounce!" Calreath shouted as Politoed as he jumped high.
"Blastoise use Earthquake." Gladion said as Blastoise slammed his foot on the ground causing the ground to shake.
As the ground shook fiercely, it caused the ice to fall off the trees and dealing damage to Weavile but not Beautifly.
"Now use Hydro Cannon." Gladion ordered as Blastoise fired two orbs of water at Beautifly and Weavile.
"Beautifly dodge it!" Aaron yelled.
The Hydro Cannon made direct contact with Weavile making him crash into a tree causing it the fall over.
The other orb only managed to graze Beautifly but still causing a bit of pain.
"Now use Hyper Beam!" Aaron shouted as Beautifly was about to fire a purple beam until.
Politoed landed on Beautifly making them crash to the ground.
Politoed got off of Beautifly showing him to be unconscious, "Beautifly is unable to battle!" John declared.
"Come on Weavile, please get up." Candice begged.
Weavile tried to get up by then his eyes wide open and fell over with swirly eyes, "Weavile is also unable to battle!" John declared.
"Thanks for your hard work Weavile!" Candice said as she returned her Dark and Ice Pokemon.
"You too Beautifly." Aaron said as he returned his butterfly Pokemon.
"Your brother is really good Lillie." Max told the blonde Alola native.
"Thanks but one day I'll get as strong as him." Lillie said with fire in her eyes.
"Keep acting like that and you'll get there in on time." Ash complemented his girlfriend.
"Thanks Ash." Lillie said as she kissed his cheek.
Moon and Bonnie were looking at the two smiling at each other.
"Drapion let's win this!" Aaron yelled as his Poison and Dark Pokemon appeared.
"Show me your keen eye Abomasnow!" Candice shouted as her Ice and Grass type appeared.
"Politoed use Brick Break on Abomasnow!" Calreath shouted as Politoed's hand glowed brown and started to leap towards the snow Pokemon who had her arms crossed.
"Use Wood Hammer." Candice ordered as Abomasnow waited until Politoed got close enough.
"Drapion use Toxic Spikes!" Aaron yelled as Drapion fired purple energy arrows that disappeared when they entered the ground.
As Politoed got close Abomasnow hands glowed green and slammed them on Politoed creating a crater in the grass.
When Abomasnow lifted her hands it revealed Politoed with swirly eyes.
"Politoed is unable to battle!" John declared.
"Thanks old friend, get some rest. Greninja make a splash!" Calreath yelled as his Kalos ninja appeared as the rain stopped and the clouds cleared.
But as soon Greninja entered the field he started to feel the poison from the Toxic Spikes.
"Greninja use Rock Slide!" Calreath shouted as Greninja's tongue became brown and he put his hand on the ground and rocks fell from the sky headed towards the two Pokemon.
"Abomasnow use Blizzard." Candice ordered calmly as she fried a blizzard at the rocks freezing them and fell to the ground.
"Drapion use Dark Pulse!" Aaron yelled as Drapion fired purple circles at Blastoise.
"Aura Sphere!" Gladion shouted as Blastoise fired a blue sphere from his two cannons.
One stopped the Dark Pulse but the other one continued its way to Drapion.
"Use X-scissor and then, use Thunder Fang!" Aaron shouted as Drapion's claws became a light green and sliced the Aura sphere destroying it.
Then his mouth gathered electricity and ran towards Blastoise.
"Use Skull Bash." Gladion ordered as Blastoise tucked in his head and when towards the incoming Drapion.
"Abomasnow use Wood Hammer!" Candice shouted.
As the two attacks collided Abomasnow ran towards Blastoise with her arms glowing green.
"Greninja use Night Slash and block Abomasnow!" Calreath shouted as Greninja formed a dark blade as his tongue changed from brown to purple and dashed his way towards the incoming Abomasnow.
Just as Greninja was about to block Abomasnow the poison kicked in making feel pain and making him stop.
This gave Abomasnow the chance to slam Wood Hammer on top of Blastoise's shell making it crack and slammed him in to the ground.
When Drapion and Abomasnow lifted themselves, it shows Blastoise unconscious, "Blastoise is unable to battle!" John declared.
Gladion returned his Kanto Pokemon and brought out a Master Ball.
"Oh boy." Moon said with Lillie sweat dropping.
"What?" Nora asked.
"Those two are about to get a beating bad." Moon said while shivering at who her boyfriend is about to send out.
Everyone looked confused but Ash who is staring at the Master Ball, "I can sense a lot of power coming from the Master Ball. What could be in there?" Ash asked himself.
"SILVALLY!" Gladion yelled as a white chimera like Pokemon appeared with his eyes shut.
The Toxic Spikes kicked in, causing him to be poison.
When Silvally opened his eyes he shot a death glare at his two opponents and growled at them, causing them to sweat a bit.
"What kind of Pokemon is that?" Alain and Claire asked.
"It's a Pokemon that was design to kill a certain breed of Pokemon." Moon explained.
"'Design'? You mean it was created?" Ash asked while looking at Moon.
"Y-Yes it was created." Moon told the group.
Ash narrowed his eyes at her, "I may need to do a bit of research on this Silvally." Ash thought to himself, as they turned back to the battlefield.
Gladion threw a red disc into the drive on the side on his head. As the drive closes Silvally's eyes change red, as well as the three large spikes on the side of his head and the white part on his fin tail.
"Multi-Attack." Gladion ordered.
Silvally's claw glowed red and dashed towards Abomasnow, "Abomasnow use Wood Hammer!" Candice shouted.
Abomasnow snapped out of her shock and her hands glowed green.
When Abomasnow was about to slam her fist on Silvally, he dodged it at the last minute.
Silvally then slashed Abomasnow with his signature attack hard, so hard it send her flying into a wall creating a crater.
Abomasnow lay in the crater unconscious, "Abomasnow is unable to battle!" John declared.
Everyone are in shock by what they just seen, "Wow. I wasn't expecting that." Max said shocked.
"To be able to take out Candice's strongest Pokemon in one move. That Silvally is no pushover." Ash thought to himself.
"Thanks old friend." Candice said as she returned her Ice and Grass Pokemon.
"Sorry Aaron." She turned to him.
"No worries, I'll handle the rest." Aaron said as he turned to Silvally and Greninja, who both are suffering from the poison.
"Greninja use Aerial Ace!" Calreath shouted as Greninja's tongue became light blue.
His fists glowed the same colour and dashed toward Drapion.
"Drapion use Ice Fang!" Aaron yelled as Drapion's mouth became icy and ran towards the incoming Greninja.
Gladion threw another disc, a light brown one, as the drive send back the other one, inserted that one, and his spikes changed to that colour.
The two attacks collided but Greninja was easily overpowered and Drapion threw him into a tree.
Greninja tried to get but he fell on the ground unconscious, "Greninja is unable to battle!" John declared.
Calreath returned Greninja and turned to the blonde emo, "It's all on you." Calreath told Gladion.
He nodded his head while looking at Aaron and Drapion.
"Multi-Attack." Gladion ordered as Silvally claw glowed brown and started to run towards Drapion.
"Drapion use Cross Poison!" Aaron shouted as Drapion's pincers glowed purple and ran towards Silvally.
Silvally slashed his claw and Drapion crossed his pincers as the two attacks collided.
Both Pokemon tried to push each other but neither of them, wouldn't move an inch.
"Silvally use Hyper Beam and don't let him get away!" Gladion yelled.
Silvally opened his mouth and gathered energy, "Drapion use Brick Break! And use your tail!" Aaron yelled.
Drapion's tail glowed brown and slammed it on Silvally. But Silvally still held his ground and fired a purple beam point blank which cause an explosion.
As the smoke cleared it revealed Drapion unconscious with swirly eyes and Silvally with bruises and cuts and kneeling but he is still conscious.
"Drapion is unable to battle! This means the winners are Gladion and Calreath!" John declared as the crowd cheered.
Aaron and Gladion returned their Pokemon and all four of them left the stadium.
Gladion and Calreath parted ways because Calreath wanted to find Diana.
When Gladion opened the door he was greeted by his girlfriend Moon with a kiss on his cheek and a hug, "Well done handsome." She whispered seductively while uses her hand to ran up his back slowly.
This made Gladion blush hard and gave him Goosebumps.
After a few battles that included Moon and her partner Lorelei but they lost because they were up against Cynthia and Steven. She was disappointed by that but Gladion comforted her and now she's fine.
Until the final match of the day which had Nora and Claire, so they left the box and headed for the battlefield.
Once they were on the field it changed into a rock terrain field with a stream in the centre, with their opponents Lance and Erika who is holding an umbrella.
"Let the final battle of the day begin!" John yelled.
"Kingdra let's go!" Claire yelled as her Sea horse dragon appeared, dived into the water and came out showing her head.
"Tangrowth Bloom!" Erika shouted while throwing her Poke ball gracefully as her Vine Pokemon appeared.
"Aegislash go!" Claire shouted as her sword and shield Pokemon appeared in his shield form.
"Hydreigon take the field!" Lance shouted as he threw a Poke under his cape and out came a Unova Dark and Dragon type with three heads with a loud roar.
"Nora. Lance is mine." Claire told the green hair Elite Four member.
This cause Nora to look at her, "I want to show Lance what I'm made of. Don't get in my way." Claire continued.
"Ok, in that case I'll deal with Erika." Nora replied as the two women turned to their opponents.
"Tangrowth use Ancient Power!" Erika shouted as Tangrowth summoned rocks and directed them to Kingdra.
"Aegislash use Scared Sword!" Nora shouted as Aegislash changed stances and his blade glowed blue.
He went in front of the rocks and slashed them to rubble making them fall into the water.
"Hydreigon use Flamethrower!" Lance shouted as the dark dragon fired flames from all three mouths.
"Kingdra use Hydro Pump!" Claire shouted, as her Kingdra jumped out of the water and fired a pillar of water at the flamethrowers dissolving one but not the other two.
The other two flames made contact with Aegislash and Kingdra forcing the two back.
Kingdra is fine but Aegislash isn't looking so good.
"Tangrowth use Leaf Strom!" Erika shouted as Tangrowth summoned leaves that are glowing and fired them at Aegislash.
"Aegislash use King's Shield!" Nora yelled as Aegislash became into his Shield Forme and created a blue energy shield protecting himself from the Leaf Strom.
"Hydreigon use Dragon Pulse!" Lance ordered as Hydreigon fired three purple dragons from his mouth at Kingdra.
"Kingdra use Blizzard!" Claire shouted as Kingdra fired a snow storm from her snout.
The two attacks collided but the Dragon Pulse pushed through, but Kingdra went in the water so she can avoid the Dragon Pulse.
"Don't think you can hide from me. Hydreigon dive into the water and use Outrage!" Lance ordered.
Hydreigon flew and dived into the water and when he came back out he gave Kingdra a bashing. Finally he slammed his two fist heads on top of Kingdra's head sending her flying on the ground.
"Kingdra!" Claire shouted in concern.
As the dust cleared it showed Kingdra unconscious, "Kingdra is unable to battle!" John declared.
"Thank you, return for now." Claire thanked her as she brought out another Poke ball, "Dragonite go!" Claire shouted as her pseudo legendary appeared.
"Tangrowth use Power Whip!" Erika shouted as Tangrowth made vines that glowed green and made their way to Aegislash.
"Dodge it with Shadow Sneak to get close, than use Aerial Ace and then follow by Sacred Sword!" Nora shouted.
Aegislash got into his Blade Forme. He disappeared into the ground making the Power Whip miss, his shadow moved towards Tangrowth, once he reappeared his blade glowed light blue and slashed Tangrowth on the back dealing a lot of damage.
Before Tangrowth could recover Aegislash's blade glowed blue and slashed Tangrowth again causing Tangrowth to fall to the ground unconscious.
"Tangrowth is unable to battle!" John declared.
"Thank you. Vileplume Bloom!" Erika shouted as her flower Pokemon appeared and she gave off some pollen from the top of her flower.
Hydreigon continued his Outrage and headed to Dragonite, "Dragonite Agility to get behind him and then use Ice punch and Dragon Claw!" Claire ordered.
Dragonite increased her speed and got behind Hydreigon. Her left claw became icy and her right claw became green and scaly and made direct contact with Hydreigon slamming him into the ground.
Hydreigon tried to get up until, "Aegislash use Scared Sword on Hydreigon!" Nora shouted, as Aegislash flew over with his blade still glowing blue and slammed it on Hydreigon.
"Hydreigon use Fire Fang!" Lance shouted as Hydreigon turned to the incoming Aegislash and his three mouths became on fire.
The two attacks collided causing an explosion. As the smoke cleared it revealed both Pokemon unconscious with swirly eyes, "Both Hydreigon and Aegislash are unable to battle!" John declared.
Claire looked at Nora, "I know you want to defeat Lance but we need to work together otherwise we won't be able to win this." Nora explained.
Claire looked at her until she smiled and brought out her hand signalling a hi-five.
Nora caught on, "Sister!" The two said in unison.
Nora and Lance then returned their Pokemon, "Well Claire you have improved greatly since we were kids." Lance complemented.
This made Claire smile, "Thanks Lance." Claire replied.
Lance then turned her attention to Nora, "I can see why you're a member of the Elite Four." Lance continued.
"That means a lot coming from you sir." Nora said while bowing.
She then brought out another Poke ball, "But we aren't gonna lose this. Flygon go!" Nora shouted as her Partner appeared.
Lance smiled at her determination, "I admire your determination." Lance said while he turned serious, "But we are not going to lose either. Dragonite take the field!" Lance shouted as his Dragonite appeared with a roar.
"Dragonite use Dragon Rush!" Claire shouted as Dragonite became surrounded by blue dragon energy and headed towards Lance's Dragonite.
"You use Dragon Rush too!" Lance ordered, as his Dragonite became surrounded by the same blue dragon energy. The Dragon Rushes collided but Lance's overpowered Claire's forcing her back making her crash into the wall creating a crater.
Dragonite got out of the crater and flew back up.
"Vileplume use Dazzling Gleam!" Erika shouted as Vileplume fired beams of rainbow lights at Flygon who is flying around avoiding them.
"Flygon use Stone Edge!" Nora shouted as Flygon did a loop and flew down to the ground and slammed his feet on the ground and out came stones that headed towards Vileplume.
"Use Petal Blizzard!" Erika shouted as Vileplume summoned Petals and directed them towards the Stone Edge.
The two attacks collided, "Flygon use Earth Power and then use Heat Wave!" Nora ordered as Flygon became surrounded by a brown aura and slammed his right foot on the ground causing then ground to shake and making Vileplume fall over.
Then Flygon fired a Heat Wave at Vileplume dealing a lot of damage, "Vileplume please hand in there and use Energy Ball!" Erika shouted as Vileplume got back up slowly and fired a green energy sphere at Flygon.
"Use Dragon Claw and then straight into Dragon Rush!" Nora ordered, as Flygon's claws glowed green and became scaly.
He sliced the Energy Ball I half destroying it and then flew straight into Vileplume with the blue dragon energy surrounding him.
He collided with Vileplume sending her into the wall creating a crater. Once she fell out she became unconscious, "Vileplume is unable to battle!" John declared.
Erika returned her flower Pokemon, "I'm sorry champion Lance." Erika apologised.
He turned to her and smiled, "Don't worry I'll handle the rest." Lane told her as he turned his attention back to the battle.
Flygon flew up and joined Claire's Dragonite as the three are glaring at each other.
"Dragonite use Twister!" Claire shouted as her Dragonite flapped her wings rapidly creating a tornado heading towards Lance's partner.
"Use Hurricane and aimed it in the water!" Lance ordered as his Dragonite did the same thing but harder, faster and aimed it in the water creating a Hurricane but more powerful with the water.
The water Hurricane easily destroyed the Twister and continued towards Flygon and Dragonite.
Nora closed her eyes, "What would Ash do?" Nora thought as she turned to the box where Ash is looking at the battle.
He then turned to Flygon who is looking at her and nodded his head, "Flygon use Draco Meteor!" Nora shouted as Flygon gathered Dragon energy.
"Let's give her a hand use Dragon Pulse!" Claire shouted.
Flygon fired the dragon meteors and Dragonite fired a purple dragon that merged with the meteors.
The attacks collided destroying the water Hurricane, and the powered up Draco Meteor continued its path towards Lance's Dragonite.
"Use Extreme Speed and then use Ice Punch." Lance ordered.
Just before the Draco Meteor made contact with Dragonite he dodged it at the speed of light and reappeared behind the two Pokemon and his claws becoming icy and slammed one of each on Flygon and Dragonite.
The two dragon types collided on the ground. They tried to get up, "Finish this with Draco Meteor." Lance ordered as Dragonite gathered dragon energy and fired the dragon meteors at the two dragons.
As the smoke cleared it revealed Flygon and Claire's Dragonite unconscious, "Flygon and Claire's Dragonite is unable to battle. The winners are Lance and Erika!" John declared as the crowd cheered.
Nora and Claire returned their Pokemon and they saw Lance coming towards the two.
Lance stopped in front of the two and turned to Nora, "I can easily see why Ash chose you to be part of his Elite Four." Lance told the green hair trainer.
"Thanks that means a lot to me." Nora replied happily.
He then turned to his cousin, "You really have improved Claire. You've done our family proud." Lance told his cousin with a smile.
"Thanks Lance, but next time I'll win." Claire said determinedly.
"I'll look forward to that day." Lance said as the two cousins shook hands and all four trainers left the stadium.
Nora and Claire made their way to the Torren box where they were greeted by their friends, "I'm sorry Ash." Nora apologized to the Torren Champion.
"Don't worry about." Ash replied to her.
Ash and the other Torren Elite Members went to the area where Professor and Ash had an announcement, "Now there will be one week break so the Pokemon can rest up before the third round start." Sylvan told the crowd and she handed the Micro Phone to Ash.
"For those who are still in the Master Tournament congratulations. And for the next round things will get more interesting, because in the next round you and your partner will battle each other." Ash told the crowd.
"So we're battling our partners huh? How interesting." Max said as he turned to Drayden and everyone else did the same.
"So I wish everyone luck, we'll see you in a week and may the best trainer win!" Ash yelled as the crowd cheered.
Ash, Professor Sylvan, the Torren Elite Four and their partners left the stadium all with one thing in their minds, "I wonder what will happen next?"
