Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon.

So sorry about the delay, but with school and all... What's more, I will PROBABLY update later than normal to account for work. I will promise a chapter over the weekend, though.

So I have been wondering, should I do a new story, but with only ONE girl with Ash this time? Do not worry, I will continue to update this story. Then again, this story will be completed after Ash wins the Orange League...so, yeah.

The only pairings will be:

Ash x Cynthia

Ash x Diantha (because there aren't a lot of them)

Ash x Elesa

Ash x Skyla (ther is almost none with this pairing, which surprises me)

Ash x Hilda

Ash x Georgia

Ash x Ursula

These are the only pairings that I will do in my new story, so please vote either by PMing me or reviews.

ultimateCCC: Crap, I was hoping I could procrastinate this problem until later...okay, so I need to ask you guys of a favor. Could you please vote whether that Mewtwo would be Ash's or should it be a new Mewtwo altogether?

Aboz567: Sorry, but like I said, she will be a little sister to Ash. I try not to include any girls that travel with him in the anime, but I just had to add Serena. I think that Amourshipping and Advanceshipping are the only ones that are actually IN the anime, since there is an episode where Ash and May kiss (probably Japanese only) while Serena is so blatant in her crush on Ash. I think the only exception is when Misty remarks on how one day Ash and her will be married and happy...

PikaGelly: Sorry, but as Kathryn is an O/C, I don't think that adding her to the harem is a good idea. I would have to change the already confusing storyline of the anime. She will reappear later in the story, though. Maybe then, I might have here in. Maybe...

Clonerexclaw: THANK YOU SO F-ING MUCH! I had almost forgotten about Salamence, which is pathetic, considering how I had just recently read a fannfic with Salamence in it. I feel like such an idiot...

Now without further ado, I present to you...chapter 12.

"Will Ash Ketchum and Kathryn Varkus please come up to the stage to resume their battle?"

"Alright, Ash, you caught me off guard with your legedaries, so I did a little experimentation with all the legendaries. I switched for a pokemon that can defeat your Kyurem!" said Kathryn.

"And what makes you think that I will use it instantly?" asked Ash, amused.

"...Damn you, Ash!"

"Love you too."

Kathryn blushed madly she she heard Ash's response. Did he just say that he loved her? Luckily, this went unnoticed by everyone else.

"Since, Ash Ketchum went first before, Kathryn Varkus will go first."

"Go, Muk!"

An unusually large Muk came onto the stage. Unfortunately, it kept moving around, causing little Grimers to sprout everywhere. It got to the point where Pokemon Rangers were called in to rein in the excess Grimers. Soon, the Muk hardened slightly, enabling it to keep its gunk to itself, unless otherwise specified.

"...Okay," said Ash. "Hey, Kathryn, how many Kanto legendaries do you know?"

"Um, there is Mew, Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno."

"Well, what if I told you there was another legendary out there that is from Kanto? Go Mewtwo!"

Mewtwo came out in a brilliant display of Aura and psychic.

"Folks, if I'm not mistaken, then this is the recently discovered Mewtwo. There is only one in the world, so how did Ash get this pokemon? Also, our sources tell us that Mewtwo was created by the criminal organization Team Rocket, so could our legendary Ash be a part of it?"

Mewtwo glared at the announcer. How dare you talk to Ash like that! It is true, I was a creation of Team Rocket. However, I escaped their clutches and prepared for world domination, as I expected all humans to be cruel and twisted. However, Ash risked his own life to save his pokemon, which could have accidentally died. Since then, I have respected Ash's concern for his pokemon and joined his team. You can ask any of Ash's other legends, that is if they could talk to you again after what you said about Ash.

The whole stadium was silent. Then the announcer spoke up. "That, folks, is the legendary Mewtwo speaking. Sorry about accusing you being with Team Rocket, Ash."

Ash shrugged. "It's okay. I can see how anyone could get suspicious."

-Back in Professor Oak's lab-

Oak was amazed. He couldn't believe that Ash had so many legendaries, yet he had't known about it before. He then sweat dropped as he realized that he never took the chance to actually LOOK at Ash's pokemon collection. Shame on him, huh? What interested him was that since Mewtwo was a Kanto legendary, he was hoping to do some research on him.

"Katie, if you would be so kind, I need to cancel all appointments for the next month. I need to meet up with a special trainer of mine." He then checked on Ash's pokedex.

"HOLY SHIT!"

-train with Elite 4-

"So explain to me why we're doing this again?" asked Lorelei, who hated going to these events.

"Sorry Lorelei, but apparently this is a new one. Apparantly, one trainer has stood out against most. His name is Ash Ketchum." said Agatha.

"Hm," said Lance. "What makes him so special?"

"Let's see, he has at least 6 legends, if not more. His Charizard took on 2 Hydro Cannons without care as well as a massive Hydro Pump, an wasn't even fazed. Its Ember tore through a Hydro Pump while its Growl blasted back an Exploud's Roar. His Venusaur was no less impressive. He also appears to have a massive Dragonite that is easily at least 10 stories tall. That very Dragonite survived a battle with 2 pokemon AND a head on collision with a Sheer Cold blast. Oh and he used only one pokemon to win all his matches. In fact, the only pokemon he ever lost was his Dragonite, who he forfeited in fear that it might get hurt."

Everyone that did not know this was flabbergasted. "What legends?" asked Bruno, who was slightly unsettled.

"Rayquaza, Mew, Kyurem, Victini, Ho-oh, and the new one, Mewtwo."

Lance stood up. "How does he have Mewtwo?! Mewtwo is the only one of its kind, and if he was created by Team Rocket, then this Ketchum must be in league with them!"

Agatha smiled. "Sit down, Lance. Mewtwo related how it was freed of Team Rocket's control, and how Ash's kindness towards pokemon made it decide to join his team."

Lance was silent for a moment. "Full speed ahead, conductor."

The conductor smiled. "Yes sir, but may I ask why?"

"I want to see this kid's Dragonite myself."

-back at the stadium-

Kathryn gritted her teeth. She had tried to test out Mewtwo's power, yet it always seemed to be 2x as fast as her. Her Muk tried to poison the legendary, yet a single sweep of Mewtwo's hand forced her pokemon to go on the defensive. The only time they caused some damage was when Muk used Giga Impact, which merely made Mewtwo yawn. Another sweep of Mewtwo's hands knocked out her pokemon. She knew that she wouldn't win this battle, but her pride was preventing her from forfeiting. What to do?

A thought popped into her head. She had a dark type who she recently got from a friend. She hoped it was enough.

"Umbreon, you're up!"

An Umbreon popped up, however, it was shivering under the cold stares Mewtwo was giving it.

'Umbreon, Dark Pulse."

Mewtwo, said Ash. Dodge and use Miracle Eye.

Yes, Ash.

Mewtwo dodged all the shots with ease, and then used the devastating move on Umbreon, leaving it vulnerable to all damage.

Sabrina smiled, knowing that this match was over.

"Mewtwo, Psychic."

Kathryn was confused. Umbreon was a Dark type, so it shouldn't affect it. However, her eyes widened as sh saw Umbreon be lifted and tossed into the wall, leaving it unconscious.

"Umbreon is unable to battle, trainer send out your next pokemon."

Kathryn realized that Mewtwo had used Miracle Eye and growled. Her last pokemon was no match for Mewtwo. Even so, she put it as her best interest to bring down at least one of Ash's pokemon.

"Misdreavus, I choose you!"

The Ghost type whirled around, but froze in fear of the mighty Psychic legendary. Meanwhile, female Psychic types were attracted by Mewtwo's power, yet feared his wrath.

"Misdreavus, keep using Calm Mind."

"Barrier and Light Screen."

Misdreavus continued to use Calm Mind, until it's special defense was so high that any normal psychic attack would have been useless. Emphasis on NORMAL.

"So Ash," smirked Kathryn. "What can you do about this, huh?"

She would regret saying that.

"Alright Mewtwo, let's try out that new move of yours. Psystrike!"

Mewtwo gave a look of contempt before tilting his head slightly and surrounding Misdreavus with Psychic energy and stadioum fragments before sending it all at Misdreavus.

"Misdreavus is unable to battle, leaving Ash Ketchum the winner."

Kathryn was shocked. "B-B-But how?!"

"Ash smiled in sympathy. "Psystrike targets regular defense instead of special defense. You were so focused on Mewtwo's special attack that you forgot about physical attacks."

Kathryn lowered her head in shame. She knew that she ha brought this defeat on herself.

"Hey don't feel bad," said Ash. "I spend every minute not used traveling, battling or eating training (I know that I don;t show training scenes but let us just assume that he trains when he is not eating, sleeping, battling, or moving.)

They met out in the center of the field. Ash put out his hand for Kathryn to shake. She took a deep breath and took is hand, only to pull him into a kiss. Ash was surprised at the manuever but soon relazxed into it. Meanwhile, every other girl in the stadium was fuming.

"Bye, Ash. You have inspired me to become stronger. I hope we meet again." she said with a wink before leaving.

Ash blushed and whispered to no one in particular, "Let us hope so."

He then called out to Mewtwo. "Hey, Mewtwo. Do you want to stay inside or outside your pokeball?"

I'll stay outside for the moment.

Ash shrugged. The two went outside when they were surrounded by a horde of reporters, fan girls, and...female psychic pokemon? The pokemon were all cheering for Mewtwo, who blushed madly before heading straight for his pokeball.

Ash muttered, "Coward."

Ash prepared himself for an endless amount of questions and requests before a loud voice broke up the crowd. "Leave him alone."

Ash smiled gratefully but paled once he saw his benefactor. It was none other than the great Lance himself. Standing around him was his harem, Koga, and Erika, who were not looking good.

"Oh, Arceus, what have I gotten myself into?"

Sorry for the late chapter. Remember to vote which shipping story you want (list is above). Also vote if there should be a second Mewtwo. Like always, please review and PM me.
