Ash was now facing Charizard in the middle of the dark forest that was shine upon by the moonlight as he glance at his old Pokémon who gazed back at him.
"Tell me what you know, Charizard." Ash demanded. Only for Charizard to sit down on the ground before speaking his mind.
'I've only heard their conversation. Though I can be sure they were plotting something.' Charizard told his old Trainer who raised an eyebrow.
"Explain what you know, starting from what you heard." Ash demanded, Charizard nodded as he looked at the sky.
"When you haven't arrive in Pallet Town-"
(Flashback, 6 Years Ago.)
Charizard was sitting around the ranch alongside, Infernape, Gible and Bulbasaur as the Flame Pokemon was holding down Gible's with his foot while the Land Shark Pokemon was trying his best to break free, until they all heard something from inside the lab.
"What! Ash cheated in the Kalos League?" Tracey's voice came which perked up Charizard's interest.
"Unfortunately, Tracey, yes." Professor Oak's voice answered in a disappointed tone as the laboratory's door creaked open with a new set of voice coming through.
"I can't believe it, Ash cheated in using what? Illegal drugs?" Misty commented.
"Come on, let us all be real here and there is now way a Greninja like his can transform, no Greninja can." Max added.
"But we all heard it from Professor Sycamore didn't we? Along with Ash." Serena questioned though Charizard could only guess was her friends.
"Those were only Professor Sycamore's theorized results, we yet have proof if it was really trust that they did it." Tracey told her which kept her quiet.
"The PLA even send in a report of their findings and unfortunately, they have visual and photographic evidence, and this is what they found." Professor Oak told them, Charizard tilted his head before walking close to the room as he peeked into the room.
The Flame Pokemon couldn't believe his eyes, the screen was a picture and video of their illegal drug findings from his Trainer's locker room.
'That's not possible.' Charizard thought, if his Trainer was really using drugs wouldn't that make Ash the same as Damien or worse?
Charizard continued to survey the area as Professor Oak started to talk again to the rest of the group.
"If that is the case, then as his sponsor I'll have to take the necessary actions." He stated before starting to type on his computer.
Charizard went back to the ranch as he was approached by Infernape, Gible and Bulbasaur who all looked at his face.
'What's wrong? Why the killer face?' Bulbasaur asked. Which snapped Charizard back into reality before glancing at the four.
'Would you believe me if I tell you that our Trainer uses drugs to battle?' Charizard asked in a serious tone.
'No?' Bulbasaur answered, uncertain on what his friend is trying to get to.
'Not in my life.' Infernape added, also unsure on what Charizard was getting at.
'What's a drug?' Gible asked with a clueless face, which they sweat dropped at.
'Neither can I, the gang inside said that they found drugs in Ash's locker room, I mean can you believe that?' Charizard asked as the lab once again has another sound.
"We will have to release them as punishment, all I can say is that I'm disappointed in Ash." Professor Oak sighed as the gang turn to each other.
'RUN!' Infernape yelled.
(Current Day)
"What happened afterwards?" Ash demanded once again, only for Charizard to close his eyes and let loose a sigh.
'We took out individual Poke Ball as quickly as we could and ran off, some of us who were too slow were release with no recollection.' Charizard answered, while Ash simply looked at him with a rather sad expression but it was hard to tell.
'Some of us are still out there, I don't know how many of us and so far Bulbasaur, Staraptor, Sceptile and I have being recaptured.' Charizard told Ash who nodded his head.
"Tell me, who else is still out there how many of you do you suspect is still out there?" Ash asked in a serious tone.
Charizard took out his fingers to count while wagging his tail left and right before having the actual answer and Pokémon he assumed to still be out there.
'If I'm right, Infernape, Snivy, Bayleef, Noctowl and Leavanny are still out there.' Charizard answered.
"I know for sure that Glalie, Gible, Oshawott, Palpitoad and Heracross is a lost cost." Ash hissed darkly before turning around. Charizard soon stood up before facing the sky as his old Trainer started to talk.
"What are you going to do now? Follow me or run?" Ash questioned while facing the other way that Charizard was facing.
'What can I do, that little runt still has my Poke Ball and you snatching it means thievery.' Charizard retorted with slight anger as Ash smirked darkly.
"You'll go back to Max and see who else wants to come with me and if you do so wholeheartedly, I might consider your returning options in my hands." With that Ash walked off into the darkness as Charizard took off into the night sky.
Meanwhile, around the same time while Ash was having his conversation Lance walked into Charles's office with a whole set of documents in his hands as he laid them down on the table in front of the PLA president.
"What have you found out, Lance?" Charles asked, only for Lance to flip the document open to reveal several reports and details.
"From what I can tell, the Sceptile, Heracross and Charizard that Max owns alongside the Feraligatr, Crawdaunt, Seismitoad, Samurott that Misty owns, Garchomp under Iris and Glalie under Bonnie are all previous Pokémon's that belonged to Ash." Lance answered before flipping once again to another documents.
"And that's not all, and according to the Professor's in Johto, Sinnoh, Hoenn and Unova, they all confirmed that those Pokémon once belonged to Ash." Lance added before sitting down on the chair opposite of Charles.
Charles took a while to flip through the documents to find that they were true as he glanced back at Lance with another topic in his mind.
"Have you found out anything fishy about their backgrounds?" He asked with Lance shaking his head in negative.
"So far we've found nothing yet, and so far the culprit who framed Ash has yet to be found." Lance answered sadly. As quickly looked back at Charles.
"What are your plans now? Do you want to speak with Ash once again to clear this misunderstanding?" Lance questioned.
Charles closed his eyes, remembering the last time he spoke to Ash that ended in a huge disaster as he looked at Lance with a serious look.
"We shall and get the Professor's excluding Samuel to come as well." Charles answered.
"That's that include Kukui, President Goodshow?" This made Charles nod his head in approval as Lance kept the documents before looking at Charles.
"I hope you can make this right, and I really hope you don't screw up like last time President Goodshow." Lance told his before walking out the door.
Early in the morning, Ash walked towards the main building before Lance could even invite him as he could see Lance walking up to him with a smile on his face.
"I'm surprise you came by yourself, I was about to go to your room and invite you." He commented while Ash chuckled.
"I came because I want to know something, so I assume you're having a meeting?" Ash replied as Lance nodded his head.
"You're the last guest, now come on." The Johto Champion told him as they walked into the building.
Lance creaked the door open as both Ash and himself entered the room, and inside the room sat Charles on the center table while the regional professor's were on the other sides. Every Professor except for Professor Oak.
"Alola! Ash!" Kukui greeted with a smile as Ash gave a small hint of smile.
"Alola, Professor." He greeted as Charles started to talk.
"Ash, you've came, please have a seat." He offered, Ash immediately sat on a chair with his leg on the table as Professor Rowan turned his head to Charles.
"What may be the reason that you've call us here?" He asked as the other Professor nod their heads in agreement.
"That's true, there must be a reason for you to call all of us here. And by the way, where's Samuel?" Professor Juniper added. Which caused Charles to raised his hand.
"Please, one question at a time and to answer you Professor Rowan, I've call all of you to discuss something with Ash." Charles told everyone while answering Professor Rowan's question.
"And to answer you, Professor Juniper, I did not invite Professor Oak to come because of a certain suspicion I have on him for now." The PLA president told her.
Lance soon re-entered the room with a file of documents before laying it down on the table, giving one copy to each Professor present including Ash and Charles before sitting down on his own chair.
"I have reasons to believe that what the file said is true, or is it wrong?" Lance started.
Every Professor present within the meeting room looked through the documents before nodding their heads in approval as Professor Elm started to speak.
"Yes, that's right and the Heracross stated in this file indeed belongs to Ash, why do you ask?" He voice with a bit of wonder.
"We have suspicion that they were stolen, though we yet have proof." Lance replied.
"So, I need all of your help in this investigation currently." Lance added.
"What do we have to do?" Professor Birch asked, while placing the documents on the table before looking at Lance who flip yet another page of his file.
"I would need you, the Professors, to explore your region to see if you can find any of this missing Pokemon in accordance to this report." Charles answered the Hoenn Professor who nodded in reply before picking up his folder again.
"I have question of my own and only one." Ash told the room before glancing at Charles.
"According to one of my old Pokémon, they were forcefully released." He started, making Charles raise his eyebrow as the whole room listen intensely.
"Now, my question to you, did you or did you not issue a release of Pokémon as punishment to my case?" Ash question with a serious look on his face, meanwhile Charles had a confused one as for everyone else in the room, they too were confused.
"What do you mean? I've yet to issue any punishment at that time." Charles told him before continuing his sentence.
"And besides, Ash, I was going to give you a suspension from battle." Charles finished as Ash looked at him, with another question written on his face.
"So, what you were planning to do was to prevent me from battling for a certain amount of time, and nothing more?" Charles nodded his head at Ash's sentence.
Ash gave a small hint of smile as he soon placed the file on the table before standing up from his chair while turning towards the door as he turned around to face Charles.
"It's good that you have nothing to do with their releases, with that confirmation my questions here are done, have a good day." Ash told everyone present especially to Charles before walking out the door.
Ash arrived at the stadium in four minutes as Anabel was battling on the battlefield alongside Sawyer against Wulfric and Lt. Surge as for their individual Pokémon's were Alakazam and Sceptile for Anabel and Sawyer respectively, while Wulfric and Lt. Surge had Abomasnow and Raichu out.
"You finally came, Ash." Brock greeted his friend as Ash sat down on the chair to watch the match and this was actually the first match that he came to watch throughout his stay in the tournament.
"I can see their down to their last?" This made Kiawe nod his head though wasn't the one to answer.
"That's right, Wulfric and Lt. Surge seems to be a good pair." Paul answered.
On the field they could see Alakazam, Sceptile and Abomasnow Mega Evolving as Sceptile decided to fire a Leaf Storm attack towards Raichu who ran out of the way.
"Alakazam use Psychic on Abomasnow!" Anabel ordered, Alakazam did as told as three of his spoons glowed before firing a psychic wave towards Abomasnow who stood his ground, moving only a little.
"Abomasnow use Ice Shard!" Wulfric ordered.
The Frost Tree Pokemon created multiple shards of ice before firing them towards the opposing side only for Sceptile to tear them apart with a Leaf Blade attack until Sawyer waved his hand.
"Frenzy Plant, Sceptile!" He yelled with Sceptile slamming the ground with his hands, causing huge vines to emerge from the ground as they rushed their way towards Abomasnow and Raichu.
"Raichu use Thunder!" Lt. Surge yelled.
Raichu immediately blasted a huge volt of electricity towards the devastating grass type attack shattering only four vines as they got hit back.
"Now, Alakazam use Kinesis!" Anabel ordered, Alakazam nodded as two of his spoons glowed as Raichu and Abomasnow was hurled into the sky.
"Shadow Ball!" Anabel ordered.
"Leaf Storm!" Sawyer yelled.
Alakazam immediately fired a ball of shadow energy towards the opposing group alongside Sceptile's Leaf Storm attack as an explosion occurred twice from each attack, and coming down from the sky was an unconscious Abomasnow and Raichu as the referee raised his flags.
"Abomasnow and Raichu are unable to battle, Alakazam and Sceptile wins! So the winners for this round are Anabel and Sawyer!" He declared.
Every Trainers recalled their Pokemon as they left the field, with Ash going to meet Anabel who was near a food stand.
"That was a rather good battle." Ash told her before walking up next to her as she smiled at him.
"I wouldn't think you'd come and watch." She teased as she rested herself on his body, Ash helped her to sit on a chair before starting a conversation.
"I would have watched your match every chance I got, but every time I have a match you too have a match at another stadium." Ash chuckled while Anabel looked at him.
"Your match is in four minutes, right?" Ash simply nodded his head as Anabel got up before pecking his cheek making him blush slightly.
"Good luck." She winked before walking off to the Pokémon Center while Ash walked towards the stadium.
Ash entered the stadium beside Max while opposite them were Lucian of the Sinnoh Elite Four and the former Champion of Hoenn Wallace as the referee took his place on the stand.
"The battle between Ash and Max vs Lucian and Wallace will now begin, each Trainer is allowed three Pokémon and the battle will be over when one side runs out of usable Pokémon." He announced.
"If both sides are ready, please present your Pokémon!" He yelled.
"Heracross, let's go!" Max called.
"Umbreon, bring fear upon them." Ash threw his Dusk Ball.
"Ludicolo, if you would." Wallace said a loud.
"Alakazam, once more." Lucian called.
Each ball burst open with Heracross and Umbreon landing in front of Ash though opposite them was a powerful looking Alakazam and Ludicolo.
"Umbreon and Heracross vs Alakazam and Ludicolo, begin!" He announced, right after the match started Ash gave his first command by mouth first ever time.
"Curse." He snapped his fingers, Umbreon glowed in a red and blue light increase his attack and defense though slowing himself down.
"Heracross use Focus Blast on Alakazam!" Max ordered.
The Single Horn Pokémon charged a blue ball before launching the attack towards Lucian's Alakazam as Lucian simply flipped a page of his book while looking at his Pokemon.
"Miracle Eye!" Lucian ordered.
Alakazam's eye glowed in a purple light as he simply shattered the attack with his spoons while Wallace was the third to attack.
"Ludicolo, Rain Dance!" Wallace ordered.
Ludicolo did a dance as rain started to shower down on the field leaving the ground in a very slippery and damp state.
"Alakazam use Psychic on Umbreon!" Lucian ordered, the Psi Pokémon shot out a wave of psychic energy at Umbreon who stood his ground and did not get send flying off impressing the Elite Four member.
"Your Umbreon is very well trained, Ash." Lucian complimented.
"Save compliments for when this is over, now umbreon, use Shadow Ball." Ash retorted.
The Moonlight Pokemon charged up a ball of ghost energy as he immediately fired it at Alakazam who shifted location without his Trainer's command.
"Heracross, hit Ludicolo with a Mega Horn!" Max yelled.
The Bug and Fighting type rushed at Ludico with horns glowing in a white light as Wallace snapped his fingers.
"Waterfall then use Leech Seed." He ordered.
Ludicolo slammed the ground with his feed which made a wall of water erupt from the ground having Heracross pass through it to see no one until the Single Horn Pokémon was hit by a brown seed from behind which caused vines to wrap around it.
"Things are not looking good for Ash and Max as their attacks are not as much as going through!" The commentator yelled, as Ludicolo and Alakazam were standing strong while Heracross was rather exhausted unlike Umbreon who was looking healthy.
"Umbreon, use Curse again." Ash ordered.
The Moonlight Pokémon repeated his previous motion as Lucian flipped another page of his book with Alakazam firing off a Shadow Ball attack.
"Heracross intercept that Shadow Ball with Mega Horn!" Max yelled.
'Throw Heracross with Psychic, give it a small boost.' Ash instructed additionally.
Heracross opened his wings as he charged at the Shadow Ball attack only to be thrown faster in speed by Umbreon who used psychic making the Single Horn Pokemon charge straight through the attack.
"Ludicolo, please stop Heracross with Hydro Pump." Wallace voice with elegance.
The Carefree Pokémon instantly launched a huge jet stream of water at Heracross who was blast all the way to the wall only to be knocked out by Ludicolo's Leech Seed attack as the Bug and Fighting type slump to the ground.
"Heracross is unable to battle!" The referee announced, as Max recalled his Heracross before taking out another Poke Ball to throw.
"Sceptile, let's go!" He called.
The Forest Pokémon came out with a flash of light as he glanced at his opponents who were still in a very healthy state.
"Umbreon, use Curse." Ash ordered yet another Curse attack confusing everyone in the stadium, heck even god wouldn't know what he was planning.
"Alakazam use Psychic." Lucian ordered.
"Ludicolo use Hydro Pump." Wallace snapped his fingers.
Ludicolo was the first to attack by firing off a huge jet stream of water at their enemies while being encased by Psychic which increases its power alongside the Rain Dance boost.
"Sceptile use Solar Beam!" Max yelled.
"Umbreon, Curse." Ash ordered.
While Sceptile was charging up his Solar Beam attack, Umbreon once again use yet another Curse attack as Sceptile clashed his attack with the Hydro Pump attack only to be cut through.
'Take that and use Payback.' Ash instructed.
Umbreon rushed in front of the mixed attack before glowing in a dark light as he rushed at the two opposing Pokémon knocking them out in one hit before jumping all the way backwards.
"Alakazam and Ludicolo is unable to battle!" The referee yelled.
"Amazing, ladies and gentlemen! Ash has just taken out both Alakazam and Ludicolo in just one smooth hit!" The commentator yelled.
Both Lucian and Wallace recalled their individual Pokémon before taking yet another Poke Ball before throwing it.
"Bronzong, once more." Lucian called.
"Walrein, if you would." Wallace called.
Both Bronzong and Walrein appeared on the field with Lucian starting his attack first.
"Bronzong, Trick Room." Lucian flipped a page of his book as Bronzong created a dome of psychic energy to twist the speed dimension of every Pokémon inside.
"Big mistake, Lucian." Ash started with a smirk which confused the Sinnoh Elite Four.
"What do you mean-" Lucian cut himself off as he widened his eyes now knowing one thing, Umbreon was the slowest on the field now.
"Umbreon, use Shadow Ball!" Ash snapped his fingers.
Umbreon cracked a big smirk before launching out multiple Shadow Ball attack as Lucian closed his eyes with a smile.
"I might have made a mistake but you've been reckless, Bronzong, Protect." The Psychic type Elite Four said while looking at Bronzong.
The Bronze Bell Pokémon expanded out a protective barrier to block itself and Walrein against Umbreon's attack before spinning one round to clear the smoke.
"Tch." Ash let loose a sound of annoyance, while Max decided to use his own order.
"Sceptile use Leaf Blade!" The bespectacled boy yelled as Sceptile created two green blades before running at Bronzong and Walrein with a speed of a Shuckle.
"Walrein use Ice Shard." Wallace snapped his fingers with elegance.
The Ice and Water type created a few shards of ice before firing them towards Sceptile who got send flying by said attack as he hit the wall of the psychic dome before lying on the ground injured.
"Sceptile, quick use Quick Attack!" Max yelled.
The Forest Pokémon got back up as he rushed at the opposing Pokémon yet again with a speed of a shuckle only a bit faster then said Pokémon. Lucian smiled before flipping yet another page of his book.
"Gyro Ball." Lucian ordered, Bronzong put out its hands before spinning at a rapid speed towards Sceptile who got send yet again to the wall before Wallace's Walrein fired off a Blizzard attack to encase both Pokémon in ice. Though Sceptile was knocked out.
"Sceptile is unable to battle!" The referee announced.
'Umbreon, come back' Ash recalled.
"Sceptile has been knocked out and Umbreon has been withdrawn, how will Ash and Max battle against Lucian and Wallace?" The commentator commented.
"Gallade, let's go!" Max called.
"Hitmonlee, bring fear upon them." Ash tossed his Dusk Ball.
As each ball cracked open, in front of Max was his last Pokémon a Gallade, one that Ash presume to be the Ralts they met, meanwhile in front of him was his second Pokémon Hitmonlee.
'Hitmonlee, use Rolling Kick on the field.' Ash instructed, and upon receiving his order, the Kicking Pokemon leaped into the air before rolling three rounds as he rammed his foot onto the wall of the Trick Room, shattering it.
"Amazing, folks! Ash's Hitmonlee just broke the Trick Room in one hit!" The commentator roared in excitement.
'Hitmonlee, use High Jump Kick.' Ash ordered through his Aura.
The Kicking Pokemon's knee glowing in a white light as he dashed towards the opposing side with incredible speed, though Lucian and Wallace had other plans.
"Gyro Ball, Bronzong." Lucian ordered.
"Mix that Gyro Ball with the beauty of Blizzard." Wallace added.
Bronzong instantly spun towards Hitmonlee while being surrounded by Walrein's Blizzard attack, as the two clashed at the center of the field, Max decided to give Ash a helping hand.
"Psycho Cut!"
Gallade's arm blade took up a purple glow before firing off a psychic blade towards the center of the field as Ash snapped his fingers. With very flexible legs, Hitmonlee wrapped his right leg around Bronzong before swapping positions with it making Gallade's attack hit his mark.
"Bronzong, use Heavy Slam!" Lucian ordered.
The Steel and Psychic type, who flew into the air before getting coated in a silver light as it slammed down upon its enemies. Though Ash and Hitmonlee had other plans.
'Hitmonlee use Blaze Kick.' Ash ordered.
The Fighting Pokemon's leg soon burn up in flames as he leaped at Bronzong before clashing with the Bronze Bell Pokemon, meanwhile Walrein was battling Gallade as Wallace snapped his fingers.
"Earthquake." The former Hoenn Champion ordered.
The Ice Break Pokemon slammed his flippers on the ground to create a huge magnitude as Gallade was stumbling to stand on his own two feet while Hitmonlee was still fine, though Bronzong was unaffected due to its levitating body.
"Gallade, stand strong and use Rock Slide!" Max ordered.
The Blade Pokemon summoned a ring of rocks around himself before firing them towards the opposing group hitting Bronzong and Walrein dead center as their opponent seems to be least worried until Ash gave his command.
'Hitmonlee, use Rolling Kick and Blaze Kick.' Getting his command, Hitmonlee leaped into the air before spinning in the air as he kicked both Bronzong and Walrein with a combination attack, knocking them out.
"Bronzong and Walrein are unable to battle!" The referee declared while Lucian and Wallace recalled their Pokemon.
"Impressive, Ash and Max, very remarkably done." Wallace praised before taking out his last Poke Ball.
"Thanks and we're going to win this!" Max declared which Ash simply gave a sound of annoyance.
"Milotic, if you would." Wallace threw his last Poke Ball.
"Gallade, once more!" Lucian called.
The opposing Tender and Blade Pokemon appeared as Ash and Max could see a visible glittering stone on Lucian Gallade's right wrist. Right before either Ash or Max could have a chance to attack, Lucian called off his first.
"Close Combat, go." He ordered.
Lucian's Gallade swiftly disappeared before appearing in front of Max's Gallade before hurling multiple kicks and punches, sending the opposing's Blade Pokemon to the wall. As Ash decided to attack.
'Mega Kick, go.' He ordered.
Hitmonlee leaped into the air before kicking down upon Gallade, though was blocked by Milotic's Aqua Tail attack called by Wallace before being send to the wall as Hitmonlee stood up slowly.
"Gallade, use Aerial Ace." Lucian ordered.
"Milotic, Hydro Pump." Wallace added.
Lucian's Gallade charged at the opposing group with an Aerial Ace attack while being surrounded by a ring of water by Milotic's Hydro Pump attack. Ash looked at Hitmonlee who nodded as the Kicking Pokemon charged down upon the opposing Psychic and Fighting type with a High Jump Kick attack.
"Gallade, help Hitmonlee with Rock Slide!" Max ordered.
Max's Gallade fired another Rock Slide attack only for Milotic to shatter the attack with her Aqua Tail Attack as Hitmonlee was send slamming into Gallade who slammed into the wall before being knocked out by their combination attack.
"Hitmonlee and Gallade are unable to battle!" The referee declared.
"Even after putting up a good fight, Hitmonlee and Gallade still got brought down and with Max out of Pokemon, how will Ash turn this battle around?" The commentator said to the crowd.
Ash and Max recalled their Pokemon and with Max out, Ash simply eye back at the field before tossing out his Dusk Ball.
"Umbreon." Ash called.
The Moonlight Pokémon, once again appeared on the fields on battle this time all alone as he faced the two opposing Pokemon before receiving an order from his Trainer.
'Shadow Ball.' Ash instructed.
Umbreon charged up a ball of shadow energy before firing it off towards either Gallade or Milotic, and only to be deflected the Tender Pokémon's attack as Gallade charged at Umbreon swiftly.
'Payback.' This cause Umbreon to ram into Gallade with body surrounded in a dark veil, making the Blade Pokémon to leap backwards before standing at ready once again.
"Gallade, use Rock Slide." Lucian ordered.
"Milotic, help Gallade out with Hydro Pump." Wallace instructed.
Both Gallade and Milotic launched their attack towards Umbreon who stood ready to embrace the incoming pain as Ash gave him yet another order.
'Protect, go.' Umbreon let loose a protective barrier to block to attack but it was prove to be of no avail as the Moonlight Pokémon was send flying to a wall unconscious.
"Umbreon is unable to battle!" The referee declared, as Ash recalled Umbreon.
"Let's step this thing up a notch, Greninja, bring fear upon them." Ash called.
Ash's final Dusk Ball erupted in a night light as his Ninja Pokémon stood on the field, staring at his enemies before standing up straight.
"The final battle, Greninja vs Gallade and Milotic, begin!" The referee declared.
"Gallade, use Aerial Ace, please." Lucian ordered.
'You use Aerial Ace too.' Ash ordered.
Both Pokémon rushed at each other before hurling kicks and punches, though Greninja was proved to be way faster as he sends the Blade Pokémon back with a powerful kick before landing on the ground.
"Milotic, use Twister." Wallace instructed.
Milotic spun her tail in a circle before launching a huge windy tornado at Greninja who got engulfed by the attack, as Ash had other things in mind before smiling for first ever time in battle.
'Let's show them what bond is in this world.' Ash started.
'Let's show them, what we can really do!' Greninja agreed.
Within the Twister attack appeared a large blue light as the Dragon type attack was shattered apart to revealed a transformed Greninja who stood on the field with a large shuriken on his back.
Meanwhile on the stand, was the traitors who was gazing at the battlefield intently as Ash's Greninja appeared in front of him.
"Is that?" Anabel voice with confusion.
"I think it's the special Greninja everyone in the Kalos League has been talking about." Paul replied too with uncertainty.
"That's Ash-Greninja, isn't it?" Misty asked her companions who nodded in response.
"But I thought Greninja can't Mega Evolve, so how did his Greninja change form?" May questioned.
"According to Professor Sycamore, it's by their bond that did it." Serena answered.
Back on the field, both Lucian and Wallace looked very impressed by the surprising entrance of Ash's Greninja as Lucian closed his book to reveal a Key Stone on the cover of it before tapping it.
"Let's hope this knowledge of victory can bring forth more than just simple knowledge, Gallade, MEGA EVOLVE!" Lucian yelled.
Strings of light soon connected themselves as Gallade changed into his Mega Evolved state before standing ready against his enemy alongside Milotic.
"Gallade, use Close Combat." Lucian ordered.
Gallade complied by executing his attack as he rushed at Greninja who enhanced speed, Ash simply made eye contact with Greninja who nodded as he too rushed at Gallade with incredible speed with hands and legs glowing.
The two Pokémon soon hurled kicks and punches with incredible speed as Milotic came from the side with her tail engulfing in water before swinging it at Greninja who swiftly dodged the attack, as Ash raised his hand to his back.
'Water Shuriken.' Both Trainer and Pokémon did the same motion with Greninja hurling his huge shuriken which blast Milotic dead center, knocking the Tender Pokémon all the way back in front of Wallace injured.
"That's some impressive strength." Wallace commented before snapping out of his shocked state.
"Milotic, use Recover."
'Stop Milotic with another Water Shuriken' Ash told his Pokémon.
As Milotic was recovering, Greninja once again hurled his shuriken at the Water type serpentine Pokémon only to be blocked by Gallade who punched it away with his Aerial Ace attack. While Milotic managed to make a full recovery.
Ash took out his Z-Ring before slipping it up onto his left wrist as he faced Greninja before both of them cracked a big grin.
"Let's finish this with a big bang." Ash said a loud before crossing his arms.
"Let this dark stage sink their fear into despair." He said darkly while doing a series of poses.
A light purple aura emitted from Ash as it was transferred to Greninja who took his shuriken and raised it up before turning it into a orb of zooming darkness.
"Black Hole Eclipse." Ash ordered.
Greninja tossed the Dark type Z-Move into the air as it expanded into a huge black hole, the attack begins to suck everything into itself with Gallade flying into it first.
"Milotic, hold yourself onto the ground!" Wallace ordered but to no avail as Milotic was the next to fly into the black hole which exploded.
Coming down from the sky was an unconscious Milotic and a badly injured Gallade who stood on the ground panting hard, meanwhile Greninja too was a bit exhausted along with Ash as both Trainer made their last move.
"Gallade, use Close Combat!"
"Greninja, use Aerial Ace."
Both Pokémon proceeded to charge at each as they clashed their attack together, only clashing for four minutes. Greninja punched Gallade in the guts making the Blade Pokémon fall to the ground unconscious as he reverted back to his normal state, same goes for Greninja.
"Gallade and Milotic are unable to battle, Greninja wins! And since Lucian and Wallace has run out of usable Pokemon, the winners are Ash and Max!" The referee declared, shocking Max as a cheer erupted from the crowds.
Ash recalled Greninja before walking out of the stadium to meet up with his friends, only to be stopped by Max who went after him.
"How did you even beat them both like that!" He yelled, whist Ash simply turn his head a little before walking.
"You're decades too young to talk to me about my skills, and even if you do match up to my skills. There is no way I'd tell you." With that Ash walked away , leaving a shocked Max behind.
Ash managed to reach the outside of the stadium without anymore interferences, as he could see Anabel waiting for him at the entrance.
"Took you awhile." She chimed as Ash simply sighed.
"I just got interrupted by a midget." Ash told her as she held onto his arms, not letting him go anytime soon.
"What do you want to do in our free time?" Ash asked, which caused Anabel to be in thoughts before looking at him with a smile.
"I'll meet you at the park near the Plateau in the afternoon, now don't be late and look a bit more presentable." She told him before walking off.
'Look Presentable, huh?' Ash's Pokemon chimed, before erupting in laughter making Ash scratch his head.
'I knew this was going to happen, and I better be going because I only have three hours to do it.' Ash sighed mentally before walking off.
