I'm back again.
One of you have asked if Serena can also be Ash's girlfriend but if you read chapter Ash says that he doesn't have any feelings for her. I do like AshxSerena pairing but Ash only has feelings for Cynthia and Diantha in this story so sorry. 1997Shockwave has given me ideas for an OC and they're good. The person will be introduced in this chapter only me and Shockwave know who this person right now by the way thanks Shockwave. Hope you guys like the chapter.
The next day
"What time's your battle?" Ash asked.
"4pm." Cynthia said.
"We're going to train so you're on your own for a few hours." Diantha said.
"Best to come prepared." Ash replied.
"Agreed." Diantha said.
"What are you going to do Ash?" Cynthia asked.
"I think I'll go for a walk." Ash said.
"You're gonna watch our battle aren't you?" Cynthia asked.
"I'll be there." Ash said.
"See you later Ash." Diantha said as she and Cynthia gave him a kiss and walked out the room.
"Want to come for a walk with me Pikachu?" Ash asked.
"Yeah." Pikachu said as he jumped on Ash's shoulder.
Meanwhile
A man was looking at a newspaper and growled.
'No wonder that brat looked similar to him.' The man thought as he picked up a phone and dialled a number.
"Hello. Is this team galactic?" The man asked.
"Yeah. Who is this?" A woman asked.
"Put Cyrus on the phone." The man said.
"Hold on one second." The woman replied.
After a minute the man heard a voice over the phone.
"Who is this?" Cyrus asked.
"Hello Cyrus." The man said and Cyrus sighed.
"After all these years." Cyrus replied.
"I know but I have some news." The man said.
"About what?" Cyrus asked.
"Red Ketchum." The man said.
"You've found him?" Cyrus asked.
"No. I've found his son." The man said.
Back to Ash
Ash was walking along the street. He heard people whisper about him as he walked by. He was in his own world until he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Out of the way! Out of the way!" A woman with blonde hair shouted as Ash sidestepped to the right.
The woman ran past him and stopped. She then looked at Ash.
"Bianca?" Ash exclaimed. (Bianca from black and white)
"Ash! You really are back!" Bianca said as she pulled him into a hug.
"Bianca can't breathe." Ash said and Bianca released him from the hug.
"Sorry Ash." Bianca said.
"Still as hyperactive as ever." Ash said.
"Where did you get that scar?" Bianca asked then someone else ran to them.
"Hey Ash." A guy said.
"Hey Barry." Ash replied.
"Where the hell have you been for 6 years?" Barry asked as a couple of Charizards landed near them.
"Alain. Trevor." Ash exclaimed.
"Don't forget about us." A girl said.
"Shauna and Tierno." Ash said as Shauna hugged him.
"Nice to see you too Shauna." Ash said as she released him.
Then a Dragonite appeared and a woman with blue hair and leotard (whatever it is) and a black cloak jumped off Dragonite.
"Hey Clair." Ash said.
"Ash." Clair exclaimed as she pulled him into a hug. Ash blushed as his face was in between her breasts.
Clair let him go as a girl with black and a bit of red hair walked to them.
"Long time no see Lucy." Ash said as she slapped him in the face.
"Lucy a few people have already slapped for disappearing." Ash said.
"Yeah. While we're talking about it. Why did you disappear?" Lucy asked and they looked at Ash.
Ash then explained what happened and what the traitors did to Serena's mother.
"I feel sorry for Serena." Shauna said.
"I can believe Misty and the others would do that to you." Alain said.
"If we had known what they were going to do then we would've stopped them." Lucy said as she put a hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks." Ash said with a smile.
"We've seen your battles and were using those pokemon a part of your revenge?" Trevor asked.
"Yeah. Making them break mentally." Ash said.
"Was Togekiss Misty's Togepi?" Clair asked and Ash nodded.
"Never knew you had an evil side." Barry said and Ash chuckled.
"Hey Ash is Serena still with them?" Shauna asked.
"She wants to earn my trust back by spying on the traitors for me." Ash said.
"Smart." Tierno said.
"I know." Ash replied.
"Ash you haven't to me how you got that scar." Bianca said.
"Oh yeah. I was training my Lucario and he slipped while performing a move." Ash said.
"Does it bother you?" Clair asked.
"It did but I got use to it after a while." Ash said.
"To be honest it makes you look like a badass." Barry said and Ash smiled.
Then a guy walked towards them.
"Hey Lucy." The guy said.
"Hey babe." Lucy replied as they kissed.
"Who's this Lucy?" Ash asked.
"This is my boyfriend James." Lucy said.
"You must be Ash Ketchum." James said as he held out his hand.
James stood around 6'3 tall just shorter than Ash. He had red hair and eyes. He was wearing black jeans and trainers. He had a white t-shirt and a black leather trench coat on.
"Yep." Ash replied as he shook James' hand.
"Lucy told me all about you." James said and Ash looked at Lucy who chuckled nervously.
"Where are you from James?" Ash asked.
"I'm from the Kuoh region." (Not a real region) James said.
"Never heard of the Kuoh region." Barry said.
"Well my region is a small one and not very known but with this tournament taking place it's a good way for people to learn about it." James said.
"So you're in the tournament?" Ash asked.
"Yeah. I'm the champion of the Kuoh region." James said and Ash and the others were shocked.
"You're the champion?" Barry asked.
"Yeah." James said.
"That's so cool." Shauna said.
"You know Ash you look similar to someone." James said.
"He does?" Trevor asked.
"Yeah. Are you related to Red Ketchum?" James asked and the others looked at him.
"He's my father." Ash said nervously and everyone's jaws dropped.
"The Kanto champion is your father?" Tierno asked.
"Yep." Ash said.
"Wow." Lucy exclaimed.
"Hey Ash could we have a battle?" James asked.
"Why?" Ash asked.
"I want a challenge and Lucy told me you're a strong trainer so I thought you might give me that challenge." James said.
"Sure." Ash said.
"This will be fun." Barry said.
They walked to the forest and found a large clearing.
"3v3?" Ash asked.
"Yep." James said
Ash and James took their positions and grabbed a pokeball.
"I'll start off with my third strongest pokemon. Albion time to battle!" James shouted and a Steelix appeared.
"So you nickname your pokemon?" Ash asked.
"Yep." James said.
"Lucario lend me your aura!" Ash shouted as Lucario appeared.
"Didn't know you had a Lucario Ash." Clair said.
"I caught him after the betrayal." Ash replied.
"Albion use iron tail." James ordered and Albion charged at Lucario.
"You know what to do." Ash said.
Albion swung its tail at Lucario. As Lucario caught the iron tail the force of the impact created a powerful shockwave forcing the others back a few feet.
'Wow. No one's ever pushed Lucario to 20% before and he, Greninja and Garchomp are my second strongest pokemon. I wonder how powerful his strongest pokemon is.' Ash thought.
Meanwhile
"Did you here that?" Max asked.
"Sure did." Brock said.
"It came from that way." Cilan said as they walked into the forest.
Back to the battle
"I'm surprised Ash. Your Lucario stopped iron tail with ease. I knew you could give me a challenge." James said.
"You haven't seen anything yet. Lucario use extreme speed." Ash ordered and Lucario moved faster than the eye could see.
"Albion be careful." James said.
"Lucario use aura sphere." Ash ordered and Lucario fired a light blue at Albion.
"Albion can you still battle?" James asked and Albion nodded.
"Cool. Use flash cannon." James ordered and Albion fired a large white beam.
"You too Lucario." Ash ordered and Lucario fired the same beam.
Lucario's flash cannon was overpowering Albion's flash cannon but it wasn't backing down.
"Albion if you can, use more power." James ordered.
Albion's beam was larger and started to overpower Lucario's but he increased his power making his stronger again.
"What power." Barry said.
"James is very strong but I didn't think this strong." Lucy said.
"Ash appears to be holding his own." Clair said.
"Yeah. It makes me wonder what kind of training he has done over the years." Tierno said.
Then the traitors arrived and saw the battle but since they couldn't see who was battling since they were in the distance.
"Whoa." They said as they walked closer.
'Shit. Might've over done it.' Ash thought as created a shield around him James and the others.
Albion got hit by the beam and created a powerful explosion.
"Whoa." Barry and the other exclaimed.
Albion fell to the ground.
"Albion!" James shouted.
"Are you okay?" James asked.
Albion looked at James at weakly nodded before he collapsed.
"James give Albion these." Ash ordered as he threw James a sitrus berry and a hyper potion.
James gave Albion the berry and sprayed the hyper potion.
Albion felt better but was still weak.
"He'll be fine James. Just take him to the pokemon centre after this battle." Ash said and James nodded.
"You did well Albion. Return." James said and looked at Lucario.
'What? Lucario's not even tired? W-was he holding back?' James thought as he grabbed another pokeball.
"Issei come on out!" James shouted as a large blue dragon with red parts along its body and red wings appeared.
"Whoa a Salamence!" Max shouted and Ash, James and the others looked at the traitors.
"Ketchum." May said.
"Assholes." Ash replied and they clenched their fists.
"What do you want?" Barry asked.
"We heard something a few miles away and came to see what was and it appears it came from this battle." Max said.
"How many pokemon has Ash lost?" Iris asked with a smirk.
"For your information Ash hasn't lost a pokemon yet and James is using his second pokemon." Clair said.
Misty then looked at James.
'He's handsome.' Misty thought.
"Whenever. That guy's gonna win." May said.
"Issei use flamethrower." James ordered and Issei fired flamethrower at Lucario.
"Dodge it." Ash ordered and Lucario did a backflip to dodge.
"Issei use dragon pulse." James ordered and Issei then fired a draconic ball of energy
"Lucario use aura sphere." Ash ordered and Lucario fired the at the dragon pulse.
Both moves clashed together and exploded.
'Lucario is now using 25%. James is definitely an above average champion.' Ash thought.
"Haven't used this move in a while. Issei use draco meteor." James ordered and an orange orb formed in Issei's mouth.
Issei fired the orb into the air and it split into multiple meteors and scattered across the clearing.
"Lucario dodge it." Ash ordered.
Lucario dodged the meteors but there was one few feet above him.
"Send it back." Ash ordered.
Lucario then jumped to the meteor and grabbed it and threw it at Issei.
"WHAT!?" James, Clair and Iris exclaimed as the meteor hit Issei.
Issei felt weak but was still in the air.
"Wow. Normally draco meteor is an instant K.O for dragon type but you sure trained Issei a lot." Ash said.
'He's holding back but how much power is he holding back?' James thought.
"Lucario use dark pulse." Ash ordered and Lucario fired and black and purple beam at Issei which was a K.O.
"Issei return." James said.
"Having fun?" Ash asked.
"Yeah even though I'm losing this the most fun I've had in a long time." James said as he grabbed another pokeball.
"Ddraig lets go!" James shouted as a Charizard appeared and roared.
"Is this your strongest pokemon?" Ash asked.
"Ddraig's is my strongest. Issei and Rias are my second strongest." James said.
"Time to make this more interesting." Ash said as he returned Lucario.
"Charizard lend me your aura!" Ash shouted as he summoned his Charizard.
'So he has a Charizard? Charizard must be Ash's starter pokemon.' James thought.
Ash looked at Ddraig and noticed he has a charizardite.
"So you can mega evolve Ddraig?" Ash asked.
"I'll show you." James said as he put on a glove which had a mega stone attached to it.
James then pressed it and light emitted from the stone and the charizardite.
Issei body changed from orange to black. The flame on its tail changed from red to blue. Its wings were blue as well and were pointy.
"Wow. I didn't know Charizards could mega evolve." Max said.
"All the Kanto starters can but Charizards have 2 mega evolutions. Mega Charizard x and y. This one is Mega Charizard x." Ash said.
"I want a Charizard." Max said.
"Ready Ash?" James asked.
"Yeah." Ash said.
"Ddraig use flamethrower." James ordered and Ddraig fired blue flames at Charizard.
"Dodge." Ash ordered and Charizard moved at a speed not anyone could keep up.
"Whoa fast." Barry exclaimed.
"Charizard use dragon claw." Ash ordered and Charizards hand glowed green.
"Ddraig use dragon tail." James ordered and Ddraig's tail glowed blue.
They clashed and another shockwave was created.
"Charizard use seismic toss." Ash ordered as Charizard dodged dragon tail and flew behind Ddraig.
Charizard then wrapped his arms around Ddraig. Ddraig struggled to get out of Charizard's grip but Charizard then flew upwards and flew down and slammed Ddraig into the ground.
"Ddraig!" James shouted.
The dust cleared and Ddraig was still standing.
'Ddraig's the first pokemon to still be standing. I'm impressed with how James has raised it.' Ash thought.
"Alright Ddraig use blast burn!" James ordered as flames engulfed Ddraig.
Ddraig then slammed his fist into the ground which sends waves of energy into the ground and then the energy created an explosion underneath Charizard.
'Even that move will do some damage to Charizard.' James thought as the dust cleared and James was shocked as Charizard was unfazed.
"N-no way." James exclaimed.
"Charizard use mega punch." Ash ordered and Charizards fist glowed orange.
Charizard slammed his fist into Ddraig and sent it flying backwards into a tree.
"Ddraig!" James exclaimed as he ran to Ddraig.
"What kind of training did Ash do over the years?" Clair asked.
"I don't know but defeating James is impressive." Lucy said.
"Cheater! There's no way you could've won!" Max shouted.
"You know as well as we do that he wasn't cheating. You're just too stubborn to realise it." Shauna said.
Misty ignored them shouted as she walked over to James.
"Hey handsome. Want to go on a date later?" Misty asked.
"No. I already have a girlfriend and I'm not going to date an ugly girl like you." James said as he returned Ddraig. Misty growled.
"Clearly you're blind. I'm beautiful." Misty said.
"You wish." James replied. He and Ash then fist bumped.
Misty was angry and was about to pull her mallet but she remembered that Ash destroyed it
Then Brock noticed Lucy and ran to her and grabbed her.
"Lucy my love. We have been-" Brock said as James punched him in the face.
"Thanks babe." Lucy said and gave him a kiss.
"She's your girlfriend?" Misty asked.
"Yep." James said.
"Well she is supposed to be my girlfriend not yours." Brock said.
"She can choose whoever she wants to date!" James shouted and Barry looked at Ash.
"Guys. Why is Ash glowing blue?" Barry asked and they looked at Ash.
"I've had enough of this!" Ash shouted as he picked up Brock and glared at him and the traitors.
"I'm only going to say this once. You better leave me and my friends alone or else I'll put to you all in so much pain you'll beg for mercy." Ash said in an angry tone.
"You wouldn't dare." May replied as lifted his free hand.
Then the traitors started to float in the air. Ash then clenched his fist and they felt something squeezing them.
"Goodbye." Ash said as he sent the traitors fly into the air. (Not Brock since he was being held in Ash's other hand)
"Do you want to say something before I get rid of him James?" Ash asked and James nodded.
"Touch Lucy again and I'll make sure you never have kids." James said and Brock gulped.
Ash then threw him in the same direction as the others. He turned around and saw James and the others looking at him with a terrified look on their faces.
"What?" Ash asked.
"How did you do that?" Tierno asked.
"I can use aura." Ash said.
"What's aura?" Trevor asked.
"Aura is the life force for everything on this planet. Some people are born to use aura. Like me for example. I can enhance my senses and strength. I can also do this." Ash said as he put his hand forward and fired a beam.
"That's so awesome!" Barry exclaimed.
"If you think that's cool then watch this." Ash said.
Then Ash formed a six foot long sword in his hands.
"Nice." James said.
Ash then explained was else he could do with aura. (Basically what you saw in the previous chapters)
"Wish I could do things like that." Barry said.
"Sorry Barry but you're not born to use it." Ash said.
"Hey Ash." James said and Ash looked him.
"What is it?" Ash asked.
"In our battle you were holding back weren't you?" James asked.
"Yeah I was." Ash said.
"How strong are you?" James asked.
"Lets just say that Issei was able to push Lucario to 25%." Ash said and the other gasped.
"H-how powerful is your Charizard?" Bianca asked.
"Ddraig in his mega evolved form was 15% of Charizards power." Ash said.
"I'd hate to see them at full power." Clair said.
"Even though you beat me, I still had fun." James said.
"The traitors only push my pokemon to 0.05%." Ash said.
"They're that weak?" Tierno asked.
"Yep." Ash said.
"Jeez clearly they don't want to believe that they were wrong about you." Shauna said.
"I'd better take Issei, Albion and Ddraig to the pokemon." James said.
"Yeah. See you later James." Ash said as they shook hands.
"Lets have a rematch in the future." James said.
"Till then you've got a lot of training to do." Ash said.
"Sure do. Bye guys." James said as Lucy wrapped her arms around James' arm and walked away.
"Hey Ash. Do you know that Cynthia and Diantha are having a battle later?" Barry asked.
"Yeah. I'm going to watch it." Ash said.
"It'll be an interesting battle that's for sure." Tierno said.
"Are you all going to be there?" Ash asked and they nodded.
"Okay. I gotta go. See you later guys." Ash said.
"It was nice to see you again Ash." Bianca said.
"You too." Ash replied and walked away.
Done
I'm surprised I finished this chapter quickly. It doesn't mean that I'm gonna be updating faster just so you know. I have found out that I have exams this month so I will be busy. Anyway did you enjoy the battle between Ash and James? I hope you stick around for the next chapter.
Peace
