(Pikachu): Pokemon speaking there language which only there trainers could understand.
They didn't know what happened; the last thing they knew was that they were watching one of the best and most destructive Pokémon battle that they have ever witness but now, they were floating in some kind of blue space. The last thing that they could remember was Ash throwing a crystal rose in the air and some kind of blue sphere towards the crystal flower and after that, they are now surrounded with a somewhat blue transparent space.
"What the hell just happened?" Greta asked as she stood up and looked at her surroundings.
"Somehow, this doesn't surprise me." Valdrade sighed as she stood up. "Come on guys, I don't know what Ash is planning but I think he is about to show a memory of his."
"This would be interesting; it has been a long time since Ash reminisced a memory." Sarah stated as she walked towards the field.
The four girls looked at the two of them as they walk towards the field. "The longer I stay with this people, the more I think that the world is nuts." Angie said in a hectic tone.
"Sempai would not believe this." Zoey said as she gazed upon her surroundings.
"Come on, I want to see this." Anabel stated as she walked towards the field, she has a strange blissful expression on her face.
"You sure Anabel, those three are completely strange in a good way." Greta said as she looked at her friend.
"I'm sure Greta because…" Anabel looked at her friends with a bright and cheerful smile on her face. "I never felt this warm before in my life, it's so comfortable that I just want to go to the cause of it, I want to go to Ash." Anabel then turned around and slowly made her way towards Ash.
"What's with her?" Zoey asked, confused at Anabel's strange behavior.
"I think it's because of her empathy ability, she's very sensitive towards strange things and the cause of those strange things is Ash." Greta exclaimed as she followed her fellow frontier brain.
"Hey Zoey, want to join them." Angie asked with a bit of interest in her voice.
"Sure why not, this place just gotten more interesting and stranger and I kinda like it." Zoey said as she and Angie walked towards the strange boy which is Ash.
(Scene Change)
"What is this place?" Cynthia asked in amazement.
"I duplicated the effect of a time flower, the only difference is that this dome covered two hundred yard radius and I can choose which memory to view inside the dome, from any person inside the dome." Ash said in explanation.
"Is that even possible?" Greta asked as she and Anabel walked towards them. The two of them sat down near Cynthia.
"For Ash, yes it is very much possible; actually it is merely a walk in the park for him." "Sarah said as she made herself comfortable in Ash's left side.
"Don't give them any more information Sarah; its Ash's story not ours." Valdrade said as she made sat down in Ash's right side.
"I didn't gave them any relevant info Val, plus I think Ash is about to tell them anyway." Sarah stated in a nonchalant matter.
"I know, that's why you should let Ash tell it to them, himself." Valdrade exclaimed.
"Tell us what?" Zoey asked as she walked towards them with Angie by herself.
"He was going to tell us how he made this dome." Greta answered.
"Cool, so how did he do it." Angie asked as she sat down near Cynthia.
"By using this." Ash stated as he threw an Aura Sphere towards them. The girls were shocked but completely disregard that shocked as they dodge the Aura Sphere. Their dodge was useless as the Sphere stopped in mid-air, before crashing to the ground. The Aura Sphere then went back towards Ash, where Ash held the sphere like it was an ordinary ball, not a ball of destruction.
"Watch where you're throwing those." The group yelled nervously.
"Relax; I didn't put too much power in it." Ash then threw the Aura Sphere behind him; the Aura Sphere exploded as it impacted on the ground which caused a cloud of smoke and a fifteen feet crater. "See…" Ash said as he pointed at the damage that his Aura Sphere made.
The group went wide eye as they looked upon the damage that a mere Aura Sphere made. "Not too power, are you crazy? That could have killed us." Angie yelled.
"The power of that Aura Sphere is merely five percent, plus, Valdrade could easily deflect my Aura Sphere even if it's at full power." Ash exclaimed in a bored matter.
The group of girls looked at Ash and then to Valdrade and to Ash again before nodding their heads in amazement. "So that's what Valdrade mean that he can't stopped you when you're in a rampage." Zoey exclaimed remembering the words that Valdrade told them. The group was not shocked because in that island for three days, nothing could shocked them.
"Who would have thought that those Aura Guardians still exist?" Greta exclaimed to no one. That earned her an Aura Sphere that passed through her head by a mere inch. The Sphere exploded behind her, too close for her comfort.
"Don't compare me to them." Ash said in a spine shivering tone.
"Are you trying to take my head off man?" Greta asked as sweat fell from her face, that was too closed for her comfort.
"Maybe but with your reflexes, you would have dodge that." Ash stated, Greta almost charged at him if it weren't for Angie and Zoey stopping her.
"Why shouldn't Greta compare you to an Aura Guardian, you are one right?" Anabel asked in a curious tone.
"Yes and no, Anabel." Ash answered which further confused the group that did not know Ash's full abilities. "An Aura practitioner has four types and three ranks;
Aura Guardian is the first type and rank because their understanding and manipulation of about Aura is minimal at best.
The second and third type as well as the second rank is an Aura Knight and an Aura Sage, those two are rank second because their understanding and manipulation in Aura allows them to materialize special weapons that multiply their strength and power in aura a hundred folds, An Aura Knight could materialize a weapon to increase the power of their Aura by a hundred fold on the other hand, an Aura Sage can materialize a weapon that could create and manipulate special kinds crystals, called Aura Gems, the Aura Gems have different capabilities that would make everyone baffle.
The fourth type and the third and highest and hardest rank to attain is an Aura Prince, the most powerful Aura practitioner of all. A prince understanding and manipulation of Aura is said to be God-like that they could access the power of both knight and sage with much power that it would caused them to be saint like in power, with addition of a new power and abilities. It is said that the title and rank of Aura Prince is only achieve once in every hundred years, that is how hard that level of power could be attain." Ash explained as he showed them a diamond like hologram that shows the ranking and power levels of Aura practitioners, the Aura Guardians was below, the Aura Knight and Aura Sage were at the middle, and the Aura Prince was on the top of the diamond.
The group, with the exception of Valdrade and Sarah, whom were talking to each other, listen carefully at what Ash just said. They were fascinated about that certain fact about Aura users. "So you're telling us that Aura Prince is the highest in rank and the strongest in power, Aura Knight's and Aura Sage's are the second in power and rank, and Aura Guardian's is the lowest and weakest in power." Zoey recalled the knowledge she heard.
"Correct Zoey." Ash said as he looked at Zoey.
"Basing at what you showed us right now, that means you're a sage." Cynthia said as she analyze the man that was in front of him.
"Not even close." With that, a pair of black pitch wings sprouts at his back, shocking everyone even his friends. The wings were large, with a wing span of thirteen feet."The symbol of an Aura Prince is a pair of wings, called the Wings of Aura. These wings allow our power and strength in Aura to increase a thousand or a million folds, depending on our will. The wings also add some unique abilities that only an Aura Prince could access." Ash said with pride in his cold tone.
"Arceus, you people complicate things, could you guys just call yourselves Aura Masters and be done with it." Greta said in a shocked expression. That was probably the wrong thing to say in front of an Aura prince because Ash made a movement that he had not done in a long time, he remove a single feather from his black wings and threw it towards Greta, the black feather change from an ordinary elegant feather to a blazing black Aura that was heading towards Greta in a fast pace. Greta seeing that her life was once again in danger, barely jumped to the right for a dodge. It was probably the smartest thing she did because the black Aura annihilated the ground beneath her and everything behind her, causing a rift to the blue dome. "Seriously, do you hate me or something?" Greta asked in fear.
"I don't hate you, I just thing you're a fool." Ash glared at her, his black wings burning with black benevolent aura. "No one, not even if the power of a person in Aura is God-like, no one can completely master Aura. Aura is a living entity that gives life and power to every living thing in this world, to the smallest organism to the biggest Pokémons, we all have Aura living and breathing within us. A claim that somebody could master Aura is absurd and insulting to any Aura Practitioner and punishable by death." Ash said in a tone that suggested certain doom.
Greta quickly hid herself behind everybody after hearing that, fearing for her life. Ash chuckled coldly at Greta's reaction. "Don't worry woman, I was merely joking. Yes a person who claims that could master Aura can be put to death by a Prince but I would not kill nor harm you." Ash said which caused Greta to let out a sigh of relief.
"So shall we begin the story?" Ash asked as he retracted his wings.
The group merely nod, still shocked at the information that they receive. Valdrade and Sarah just looked at Ash confusedly; it was unlike him to reveal a secret in that magnitude that easily.
"Then let the story begin." Ash said, and with a snap of the finger, the dome became filled with holographic images.
(FLASHBACK)
Two figures were trading Aura Spheres at a fast rate, they were throwing those Aura energy's like they were mere toys not energy's of destructions. At the side line, there was a white hair lady whom was holding a golden Pikachu with a white Lucario. The three of them were watching the sparring match with worried expression, especially the white haired lady; she was mostly worried about his beloved boyfriend. She knew that her boyfriend has amazing potential and talent but the person that he was sparring with has more than three hundred years of experience when it comes to Aura, and experience beats talent and potential every time.
The two of them were attacking each other with such ferocity and resilient that it looked like a real battle rather than a simple sparring match. The two of them suddenly stopped exchanging Aura Sphere's and looked at each other with a light glare before charging at each other with their fist burning with tremendous Aura. They clash their individual fist and fought for supremacy for a minute before the Aura in their fist exploded, causing the two of them to be launch at the opposite side of the field. The two of them crashed to the nearest tree.
The white haired girl dropped the Pikachu that she was holding before rushing towards her boyfriend, the white Lucario and the Pikachu following suit. The white hair lady quickly kneeled in front of her loved. "Ash, are you okay?" The white haired girl asked frantically as she held his head.
"Yeah Elena, I'm okay. " Ash said as he smiled at his beloved girl friend. "That hurt a bit but no harm done." Ash looked at the opposite end of the field and looked worriedly at the small dust that was made by the crash of his master.
"Hey Master Felix, are you all right?" Ash asked his master as he looked at the damage his attack made.
There was a pulse of Aura that blew the dust away revealing a handsome black haired man who was wearing a blue suit. That person look similar to Ash but if you looked closely, you could see the difference at their appearance, for example, Felix have jet black hair in comparison with Ash's black with green highlights hair, he was also mute. He looked like an eighteen year old man but in reality he was older, much older. 'I'm fine kid, just a bit shaken.' Felix said through their minds as he smile and stood up.
"Good to know, I don't want to find a new teacher." Ash said with a chuckled as Elena helped him stood up.
"You two should tone the power of your attacks down, you guys not just destroyed the field again but almost decimated each other, again." Elena scolded the two of them.
"Sorry Elena." Ash said sincerely to his girlfriend.
'Sorry little princess, but if I didn't spar with half I got, you guys will be dragging me by the use of a stretcher. Your little boyfriend there is becoming terrifyingly powerful.' Felix apologized through telepathy.
"Don't call me a princess, only Ash is allowed to call me a princess." Elena said as he whacked Felix on the back of his head. Ash sweat drop and laugh uneasily at how his beloved Elena treat his master.
'Boy, you're lover is more terrifying than any enemy I face in the past, and trust, that is something.' Felix said to Ash telepathically as he rubbed the back of his head.
'Sorry master but she's right, I'm the only one of has the right to compliment her and if you upset her, even if you're my master, I'll kick your ass.' Ash said through the telepathic link with a smile.
'Understood, you love sick bastard.' Felix replied humorously as he chuckled.
"Are you two done talking?" Elena asked as she hand Ash his trench coat.
"Yes loved." Ash replied. Felix merely nodded.
"That's good, we better hurry it up. My sister wants to meet us at the nearest town. She said she needs a favor." Elena reminded.
'What does the tactician from hell wants from us again?' Felix asked as he gathered all their supplies with lightning speed.
"Don't go insulting my future sister-in-law like that master." Ash growled as he almost threw an Aura Sphere towards him.
'I'm just telling, that girl is the most dangerous tactician I have ever seen in my life.' Felix said with a shiver. 'That girl could probably think off a million strategies in five seconds. I'm surprised that you're not annoyed by her though, especially on how she acts towards you. '
"You mean the way she always clings at me every time I'm around, it's annoying, yes, but I think that's her way to protect Elena from me." Ash said cluelessly which caused Elena to cough a bit.
"She's just very upset that she doesn't have a boyfriend as perfect as you, Ash." Elena whispered under her breath so that Pikachu and Koyuki were the only one to hear it.
Ash chuckled a bit, feeling that he was given a compliment, before approaching Elena and carrying her to his arms, bridal style. Elena giggled after being lifted by her loved before wrapping her two arms around his shoulders and burying her head on his chest. "Pikachu on my shoulder, Koyuki, could you keep up?" Ash asked as he looked at his two favorite Pokémons, his brother and his 'daughter'.
Pikachu quickly jumped to the shoulder of his brother and sighed dejectedly, knowing with his power, he could not keep up with the three super powers. Koyuki nodded proudly and prepared herself for the travel. Ash smiled at her reaction.
"Hey master Felix, were ready for the travel." Ash shouted which caused Felix to chuckle.
'Try to keep up.' With that said, the two of them disappeared with speed that could be consider inhuman.
(End of Flashback)
"That guy called me a tactician from hell." Sarah fumed at the memory that she viewed. "The next time I'll see that punk, I'll show him what hell is." Sarah declared angrily.
The others on the other hand, even Valdrade and Ash, have different thoughts. 'Tactician from Hell, fitting.'
"So that black haired man was your Aura teacher and it safe to say that that white haired girl was this famous Elena that we've been hearing about." Cynthia inquired with a hint of jealousy in her tone. She felt a bit surprised and jealous at how casual Ash act towards the white haired beauty.
Ash raised his eyebrow and looked at his two best friends before looking at Cynthia. "I don't know how you knew about Elena without me mentioning her but I think I could guess who mentioned her to you." Ash then gave a suspicious glare towards Valdrade and Sarah. Valdrade quickly looked at the other way while Sarah whistled innocently. "Don't tell anybody else about her without my say." Ash said with a bit of forced. The two of them merely nodded.
Ash then looked at Cynthia, whom was all the way on the other side of the field. "Yes they are. Felix was my Aura teacher and Elena is my dead lover, but enough chit-chat and let's continue."
With that said, images began flashing once again.
(Flashback)
The group had been patiently waiting for Sarah for one hour. With the speed of the two Aura practitioner and Koyuki, they arrive at town in fifteen minutes ahead of the allotted time. Now, they are currently waiting for the person that called them in the first place with the annoyance of Felix. She was late, again.
'How long do we have to wait for her?' Felix asked as he drank his twelfth coffee in the afternoon.
"Will wait until my sister is here. She sounds extremely frantic when she called me." Elena said as she fed Ash some strawberry's dip with chocolate.
"Come on master, you should be used to Sarah by now. She always an hour and a half late for every meeting." Ash said as he patted his Pikachu's head. "Right, Koyuki."
"Yes father, Aunt Sarah is always late." Koyuki replied as she ate some food on the table.
'You should refrain into talking in public Koyuki. Ash might have thought you how to talk like a human being but it is still unusual to see a Pokémon talking.' Felix reminded as he glanced at the white Lucario.
"What about that talking cat that those two imbeciles have, it has been talking since the days I met them and people just brush it off." Ash said as he ate fed Elena some of his food.
'That feline isn't interesting or rare at value that's why people just brush it off.' Felix stated as he glanced at his two traveling companions before sighing. 'Could you two for a second stop being all lovey-dovey to each other for a second, you two are making me sick.'
"Sorry master, but I need to make Elena feel special every time I have the chanced; she is the most important person in my life after all." Ash said as he fed Elena some strawberries. Elena blush at that but smiled nevertheless, she was glad that Ash felt the same way. Elena was about to returned the favor and fed him some food when a familiar person wrapped her arms around Ash.
"Hey Ashy, miss me." Sarah said as she suddenly appeared out of nowhere and as she wrapped her arms around Ash's upper body. Elena suddenly broke the fork that she was holding as she saw her sister hugging her boyfriend without her permission.
"Hey Sarah, could you let go of me." Ash said with uneasy smiled, it felt weird being embraced by the sister of the person you love.
"Yes let go off him sister." Elena said with a sharp tone that frightened everyone around him. Felix even moved his sit away from her.
Sarah smiled at her sister's reaction, so predictable. "What will you do if I refuse?" Sarah said as she tightened her embraced, much to Ash's total discomfort and much to Elena's annoyance.
Before Elena could even attempt to maim her sister, a familiar figure forcibly removed her from Ash. "You're making him uncomfortable again." Valdrade stated as she effortlessly threw Sarah off Ash.
"Thanks Val." Both Elena and Ash said in unison.
"Anytime guys," Valdrade said as her eyes wavered lovingly to Ash. 'Especially to you, Ash.' Elena added to her thoughts.
Felix chuckled silently, hearing Valdrade thought's. 'If you want to keep that mouth of yours, then shut up.' Valdrade harshly exclaimed telepathically to Felix.
'Right, you're trying to scare someone who has more than 300 years worth of battle experience and a powerful Aura Knight at that, nice try though.' Felix said with mock-humor in his tone, it was fun playing with young people with raging hormones, it never gets old even in 300 years.
Valdrade was about to blast the Aura Knight with a psychic blast when Sarah tried to tackle her, key word try. Valdrade with her reflexes, avoided the tackle with ease. "You do know that I could sense you a mile away." Valdrade giggled at the positioned of Sarah as she crash.
"You do know that I was enjoying myself." Sarah stated as she glared at Valdrade.
"I know but he is already taken." Valdrade said with a giggled.
Sarah almost charged at her if it weren't for Koyuki and Pikachu stopping her for trampling there psychic friend.
Ash cough a bit to catch everyone's attention, he felt a bit embarrass at how his friend act in public. "You called us for a reason, right Sarah?" Ash asked trying to break the tension between the two.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Sarah then laid a map on top of the table. "I called all of you today because there's a problem in a place nearby that's causing some strange phenomenon." Sarah explained as she pointed to a mountain in the map.
"Before we start talking on how we're going gamble our lives into something that is dangerous, again, first things first, how much are they paying you?" Valdrade asked with humor lacing every word.
"Nobody's paying me anything. I'm just doing this at the kindest of my heart." Sarah said in a huff.
'The last time that you did something at the kindest of your heart was the time you caught Ash and Elena kissing each other and just walk away.' Felix added with a laugh.
Sarah threw a plate filled with salads towards Felix, which he easily caught and ate. "Nobody's asking you, you old senile." Sarah yelled, the people that were looking by looked at the group, much to the other's embarrassment.
"Sarah, please calm down. You're embarrassing us, again." Elena said in embarrassment at her sister's action.
"At times like this, I wish that Jane is with us to control her." Ash mumbled but it was very clear that was not the right thing to say.
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ASHY? ARE YOU SUDGESTING THAT I NEED THAT SILVER HAIRED WITCH TO ACT CIVILIZES?" Sarah yelled as she faced Ash with eyes that could burn the soul.
"YES, SO CALM DOWN." Elena and Valdrade shouted in unison. Sarah shrunk and sulk at the corner. Ash and Pikachu laugh uneasily at that, while Felix just laughed silently.
"Before we do anything else, what were you telling us again, Sarah?" Ash asked as he looked at the mountain that was shaped like a tiger.
"About that," Sarah then suddenly appeared beside Ash. "The cities and towns nearby are having problems with this certain mountain lately. It seems that this mountain, which they called Saber's mountain, is continuously emitting electric and magnetic fields that has been affecting all the electric and mechanical devices in a hundred mile radius." Sarah explained in a serious tone.
"So this mountain had been generating an electric and magnetic field huge enough to cover a hundred miles. Is that even possible?" Valdrade asked skeptically at something ludicrously impossible.
"I didn't believe it at first but when I saw it myself, I was shocked. That mountain has been generating such powerful electrical and magnetic field that it caused every electric and steel type Pokémon in two hundred mile radius to gather at that mountain. The strange part about it is that, they just looked at the mountain like their posses or something. They also protect that mountain so that no Pokémons or humans can get near it. I also receive reports of attacks from both Electric and Steel type Pokémons in the recent weeks, the report also states that their eyes were glowing red." Sarah said which caught both Ash and Elena's attention.
"If that is the case, then why are Pikachu and Koyuki still with us? Pikachu is an electric type while Koyuki is part steel and we are still in the space where the electric and magnetic field could reach us, why do the two of them still with us?" Elena inquired, worried about her boyfriend most loyal partner and their 'daughter'.
'I think it's because Ash and my Aura constantly surrounding us as we moved around.' Felix suggested as he finished his meal. 'If two Aura's clash with each other, the weaker Aura is defeated and erased, that may also be the reason why neither I nor Ash felt an electric Aura.' Felix explained.
"It's possible but that still doesn't explain why we haven't felt any Aura. Normally both of us could fell any Aura that comes our way, no matter how faint or weak." Ash said in confuse by the entire ordeal.
Felix looked at Ash for a moment with a calculative gazed. 'I have a theory but I can't tell you, not yet at least.' Felix stated which caused the girls to become aggravated.
"Why not you senile fool? It may help this expedition." Sarah asked with an aggravated tone.
'Because you guys can't understand Aura as much as I do, and Ash will not understand, not yet at least.' Felix explained with a tone that leaves no more questions.
"Leave it at that guys, Master is not the person to explain." Ash said in order to calm his friends.
"Fine but we need to hurry up. The electric and magnetic fields are also causing a lot of Electric and Steel Pokémons to attack any humans and Pokémons alike who goes a hundred yards near the mountain." Sarah said as she a circle in the map that symbolizes the hundred miles.
"How could we get near the mountain without getting attack by those Pokémons? And before you say anything, I will not use my powers to control them." Valdrade said as she looked at Sarah.
"Don't worry Val, there are more ways to get near that mountain without the use of psychic or Aura." Sarah said with a devious smile.
"Elena, why do I have the feeling that this will cause pain for us?" Ash said as he looked at Sarah's smile before glancing at her.
"Because it really will cause pain for us." Elena said as she laid her head on his shoulder
(End of Flashback)
"What was the plan?" Zoey asked as she analyze the memory that she saw.
Both Ash and Valdrade looked at Zoey with a grim expression. "Don't ask." The two of them said with a grim tone.
"It was that bad, huh." Anabel inquired with a childish smiled.
"It was that suicidal." Both Ash and Valdrade stated hastily.
"It was one of the few and rare times that I wish that I was already an Aura Sage or better yet, an Aura Prince." Ash said in a cold frantic tone.
"It was one of those times that I thank whatever entity that gave me psychic powers." Valdrade said with a shiver.
"That bad, huh." The group said in unison as they looked at the smiling Sarah.
"It was the plan that we have the highest chance of surviving and the highest chance that I'll enjoy watching it like hell. So it's only natural that I'll choose that plan over the other safer plans that I made up at that time." Sarah said with an offended smile.
'Is this woman crazy or what?' The group thought as they heard that crazy remarked.
"You're just lucky that you're a friend of mine or I would have most likely blast you off with an Aura Sphere." Ash said as he snap his fingers. "I going to cut the memory when we are at the mountain, I don't want to relive that suicidal moment of my life."
With that, the story once again started.
(Flashback)
"That was crazy." Elena said as she tends to Ash's wounds. "Why in the hell did that brain of yours came up with this crazy plan? Why not choose a safer plan?" Elena asked angrily at her sister, whom was bruised free.
"I thought of five thousand scenarios to get us near Saber mountain unscratched, I merely choose the plan that will get us the fastest, the safest, and more importantly, the plan that I would enjoy watching." Sarah said with a devious smile.
"But at the cause of my Ash, do you want me to butcher you." Elena spat harshly at Sarah. Sarah knowing that she's serious, hid herself behind Felix and Valdrade, who have their respected bruises from Sarah's plan. The two of them quickly shoved Sarah in front of them, knowing that even with their respective powers; they are no match to a pissed of Elena.
Before Elena could even attempt to clobber her sister, Ash pulled her to his lap and kissed her lightly on the lips. Elena's anger quickly disappeared as she returned the kiss that Ash gave her with so much fervor and passion.
Ash then broke the kiss and look at Elena with his signature smile and with caring eyes. "I could still taste your sweet lips, I'm okay. So don't get angry towards Sarah, her plan did get us her with minimal damage." Ash said as he looked at Elena's eyes.
"You're too soft when it comes to my sister." Elena said with a purr.
"Hey, she's going to be my future sister-in-law, I need her to be alive until then." Ash said in a chuckled as he kiss her on the forehead.
Elena blushed as she helps Ash up on his feet. The two of them were oblivious from Felix and Pikachu's disgusted expression, from Koyuki's tearful expression, and more importantly, from Valdrade and Sarah's jealous expression.
'So Sarah, before those two began acting romantic towards each other, what now?' Felix asked the young professor.
"First, we need to find the main root of the energy source and then I think of a plan by then." Sarah said as she tried to divert her attention from the couple.
"So that means that will separate to make it much faster." Valdrade suggested but was quickly denied by Ash.
"That's not practical Val, since we landed on this mountain; I've been feeling a tremendous amount electric and magnetic aura all around us. It's making me a bit dizzy." Ash said as he looked at his surroundings, his eyes glowing. Ash was shocked when he saw a large amount of electric and magnetic energy flowing in the air and was further shocked as he realize that the energy flowing around them and was being absorb by one Pokémon, his Pikachu.
"Hey Pikachu are you okay? The magnetic and electric aura is seemingly being forced into you." Ash whispered worriedly as he glanced at his right shoulder.
"(Don't worry partner, I feel great)." Pikachu stated as his cheeks began emitting weak and seemingly invisible electricity.
Ash looked worriedly at his partner but decided not to worry too much. "We should get going before those Electric and Steel Pokémons hunt for us." Ash recommended as he carried Elena bridal style.
'You are probably right, especially that we are about to get stampede on by herd of Aggrons.' Felix stated as he dashed off. As he started his dashed, the group felt a sudden earthquake happening on the ground.
"Ash, did I say how much I hate your master?" Sarah said as she quickly climbed on Ash's back, much to Elena's annoyance.
"You hated my master the day you met him." Ash said as he disappeared, Koyuki and Valdrade following suit.
"The guy might be senile, but his not that bad once you get to know him." Elena said as she looked behind at her sister and the Aggrons that were charging their way.
"The guy is 324 years old yet he looks like an 18 year old man that will really annoy somebody." Valdrade said as she kept up with Ash's high speed movements.
"I still can't get how you could keep up with our Aura movements." Ash said as he avoided a Hyper Beam that was heading towards them. "Damn it, that was closed."
"I'm just using instant teleportation and using the air as medium to make portals." Valdrade said as she deflected another Hyper Beam.
"Damn those Aggrons, where the hell is your master when we need him." Sarah said as she buried her head on Ash's shoulder and enjoying the aroma and closeness of Ash.
"Could you not enjoy my boyfriend?" Elena stated in a cold tone.
'This is not the time, place, nor moment for this.' Felix said as he appeared in front of them. Felix saw a volley of Hyper Beams and grin. He extended his arm and summoned his bow, his Aura Weapon.
The bow was crafted like a hexagonal cross and was made purely of blue crystals. 'Hey Ash, jump over will you.' Felix ordered as he prepared to fire an arrow made out of pure aura.
Ash nodded at his master and flip over him. 'That's my prodigy.' Felix said as he took aim. 'STORM BARRAGE.' Felix roared as he unleashed his attacks. Felix unleashed a storm of Aura Arrows towards the Hyper Beams, completely overpowering the Hyper Beams while destroying the surrounding in the process. Some stray arrows as well flew towards the herd Aggrons, knocking them out as the arrows hit their targets, which was visually every single Aggrons that were chasing them.
'That was easy.' Felix casually stated as his weapon disappear to his body, to his soul. 'You guys okay?'
"Yeah Master." Ash said in awe at how easy his master defeated their enemies and at his master's raw power and ability. "That was amazing Master."
'I have three hundred years worth of experience and time to harness my power Ash, it's only natural for me to have this much power.' Felix said with a grin.
"Yet you haven't become an Aura Prince." Sarah commented snidely.
'I didn't become an Aura Prince because I lack the potential, you witch.' Felix replied with a sulking tone.
"Don't mind her Master; at least you have a power equivalent to a prince." Ash said in a comforting manner.
Felix chuckled after hearing that. 'Ash, you are merely an Aura Guardian and young at that. When you're as old and as dashing as me,' Sarah and Valdrade scoffed at that. 'You'll realize that when my power is compare to a prince, huh, don't even bother. My power compare to a Prince is like comparing a speck of sand to a mountain.' Felix said which startled Ash.
"But master, how could a powerful Aura Knight like you be no match against an Aura Prince?" Ash asked, confused. He had seen what his master is capable off and he could say that his master is very powerful, powerful enough to battle a Legendary Pokémon and win.
'My dear, dear, prodigy, there is a reason why only one person in one hundred years is born that has the ability to become an Aura Prince. That reason is simply, they are descendant of the original and first Aura Prince, the only one in history to understand and manipulate Aura to the extent of mastery. His descendants are the only people to achieve that level cause their Aura skills and potential is said to be endless.' Felix finished which caused Ash to be awed.
"I like listening to a story that is relative as much as the next person but, INCOMING." Valdrade yelled as a huge Hyper came towards them.
"Shit, were landing." Ash said as they descended to the ground to dodge the powerful attack. As they landed, they felt the presence of hundreds of electric and steel Pokémons around them, surrounding them.
"Sarah, where do you think is the center of power?" Valdrade asked as she prepared a Poke-ball, this is going to be a war.
"I think were standing on it." Sarah said as she looked at the gathering Pokémons. "Were standing on the center of the mountain guys, this is also the center where the electric and magnetic fields are being emitted."
"How could you be sure, sis?" Elena asked as she prepared a Poke-ball and as Koyuki went in front of her.
"Because all of the electric and steel Pokémons are gathering at this spot." Sarah said taking four Poke-balls out of her pocket.
"Off all the times for me to forget my violin, why today." Ash said as he hand all his Poke-balls to Elena. "Hey partner, are you ready?" Ash asked as he glanced at Pikachu, only to receive the shock of his life.
"(I've never felt so powerful)." Pikachu stated as both electric and magnetic fields enveloped his entire body. His entire body was glowing bright white, signaling for an evolution, an occurrence noticed by everybody.
"What that hell is happening to Pikachu?" Elena asked with worry.
'Shit, Pikachu is absorbing the magnetic and electric energies, his body is evolving.' Felix stated in shock.
"That's impossible; Pikachu needs a thunderstone to evolve not a dose of electric and magnetic energies." Sarah said, astonish at what she is seeing.
Felix was about to say something but was stopped when he felt a rumbling in the ground. 'Will discuss it later but now, let's try to survive.' Felix said as he summoned his bow. The group quickly surround Pikachu.
"Damn it." Ash said as his hands glowed dark blue. 'Pika, what is happening to you?' Ash thought worriedly.
"Don't worry loved, will figured this thing soon." Elena said as she threw six Poke-balls in the air (Ash let her borrowed five of his Pokémons). The six Pokémons that appeared were Ash's, Rampardos, Altaria, Snorlax, Gallade, and Gliscor, and the six Pokémons was her Salamence.
"Guys prepare yourselves, these is going to be a war." Elena told them which they nod, understanding their predicament. "Koyuki, guard Ash's back no matter what." Koyuki nodded as her eyes glowed white.
"Arceus, why does Pikachu have to be like this at this time?" Sarah asked to no one as she unleashed her Pokémons. Her Pokémons were Dragonite, Mamoswine, Typhplosion, and Toxicroak.
"Hey guys were going to destroy things." Sarah said with a disturbing smile. Her Pokémons roared at excitement at destroying things and fear at their trainers smile.
"She worriy's me sometimes." Valdrade stated as she threw her Poke-ball, the poke-ball of her strongest fighter, her Deoxys.
'Mistress, what have you need of me.' Deoxys asked as it bowed to her.
"Cresselia is not meant for warfare type of battle, you on the other hand, is a different story entirely." Valdrade said with a grin as her body glow bright violet.
Deoxys smiled (I think they can smile) maliciously at that. 'It's my pleasure to destroy things for you, my mistress.'
As they finished their preparation, the battle began.
A wave Electric and Steel type Pokémons began charging at them, their eyes glowing maliciously red. Luckily for the group, the army of Pokémons was not well coordinated.
'Sarah handle the left, Elena handle the right, Valdrade, Koyuki cover us, me and Ash are going to charge in.' Felix ordered as he and Ash charged at the middle.
"Why does those two have to lead again?" Valdrade said as she send a powerful Psychic blast towards the Steel and Electric Pokémons that were charging at the side of Ash and his master, effectively knocking them out.
"Because those two preferred hitting things, fast and hard." Elena said as she surveyed their surroundings. "Let's start, Altaria, Gliscor, hit them with Giga Impact at each side, Snorlax pound the small one's with your Body Slam, Rampardos, Fire Blast on those Metagross and make sure you knock them some out, Gallade, help Rampardos to with Shadow Ball. Salamence, try to take those Skarmory out with your Flamethrower." Elena ordered as she scanned the field.
The Six Pokémons nodded and proceeded to perform their attacks. Altaria and Gliscor emitted orange and purple energy as they flew with haste towards each side of the surrounding Pokémons, knocking down some large Electric and Steel type Pokémons as they slam towards them. Snorlax jumped in the air and smashed through some of the little Pokémons who hadn't managed to dodge. Rampardos and Gallade on the other hand had managed to take down few Metagross with the combination of their Fire Blast and Shadow Ball attacks. Salamence on the other hand was throwing a clinic as she took down Skarmories from right to left.
"Hey Sis, nice job but could you try to hit the large once first." Sarah said as she threw commanded her four Pokémons with so much ease and finess, that they already took down a large sum of the attack forced.
"Sure just take some of the small once down before they become a nuisance for us." Elena said as she looked at Ash battled some large steel types at the corner of her eye.
"Deoxys, Koyuki, on the left." Valdrade said as she control and deflected some of the attacks that went their way. "Try to knock them out; I can't keep this up all day." Valdrade then threw the attacks that she had manipulated at the charging Pokémons, knocking them out.
'As you wish my Mistress.' Deoxys said as it transformed into its speed forme and disappeared from sight. With its amazing speed, it deliver quick and devastating Brick Break on several Steel Pokémons, knocking them out in mere seconds as it appeared again, now in its defense forme as it block some attacks that was headed towards the blind spot of its master.
"The Aura is with me." Koyuki stated as her entire body glowed with white Aura. The white Aura quickly formed into a shape of a large, white, leering fox as she charged towards her enemies. The Aura, which was in the shape of a fox, burned and slash the Pokémons that made contact with it, knocking them out in the process. "That is called Silent Aura, my dear opponents." Koyuki said sweetly.
"This is annoying." Ash said as he swiftly dodges the attacks that his opponents were giving him.
'Eliminate them quickly Ash. The next wave is about to come.' Felix stated as he fired a massive wave of Aura Arrow towards the army of Electric and Steel Pokémons, injuring and knocking them out in the process.
"That is a bit of an overkill master." Ash said as he easily blocked an Iron Tail coming from an angry Aggron. "It's time for me to end this anyway." Ash's body then glowed dark blue as he threw the Aggron towards the other side of the field. He then focused all the Aura that he emitted into his two hands before slamming his hands to the ground, creating a massive shockwave of Aura. The massive shockwave was so potent that it knock out every remaining Pokémons in the area, excluding his and his friends Pokémons. The attack also caused a large crater after the attack subsided. Ash fell to his knees and tried to catch his breath.
'You could have done that in the beginning you know that.' Felix commented as he surveyed the damage.
"I wasn't sure if I could control the attack enough to make sure that Elena wasn't harm." Ash said as he looked at his beloved, who was unharmed by his attack.
Felix sighed and helped Ash stand up. 'You soft hearted moron.' Felix whispered to his prodigy.
Ash chuckled after hearing that. "Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment." Ash then became serious once again. "Now let's see what's wrong with Pikachu." Ash said worriedly.
'Later you fool, the next wave is about to come.' Felix stated as he felt a large number of Aura headed their way.
"SHIT, SARAH, CAN WE MOVE PIKACHU AND ESCAPE AT THE SAME TIME?" Ash asked as he glanced at his genius friend.
"Sorry Ash, that is impossible. During the evolution process, a Pokémons cannot be moved." Sarah explained as she looked at the white orb that Pikachu was enveloped with. It was slowly getting larger by the second.
Ash then looked at the orb and his eyes widen in dismay, the aura around the white orb was about to explode. "Elena, get out of there. The orb is about to explode." Ash shouted.
The eyes of the three girls widen before jumping away from the white orb, together with their Pokémons. As Ash predicted, the white orb exploded, covering the area around it.
"Elena, are you alright?" Ash asked as he and Koyuki hurriedly approach her.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Elena replied as she coughed a bit.
"What about you guys?" Ash asked as he looked at his two friends.
"The blast radius wasn't that big, we're fine." Valdrade said as her Deoxys help her up.
"Not for long." Sarah said as she pointed towards the forest. The group looked at the forest and cursed, what they saw was an army of electric and steel type Pokémons, two times larger than the wave of Pokémons that they fought.
'This is not going to end well.' Felix said as he took aim.
Ash on the other hand looked at the smoke before looking at Elena and Koyuki. "Koyuki, take care of your 'mother' for a while." Ash said as he entered the smoke.
"ASH." The group yelled but Elena, knowing that Ash needs to see his partner.
(Scene Change)
"It all ways has to be Sphere, why not a cube or a cylinder for a change?" Ash said to no one as he looked at the white growing sphere.
"This thing is about to explode at any moment because of the store up power. I need to contain but first…" Ash then made a crystal lotus from thin air. "I don't know if I'm good enough to do this but hey, now or never."Ash then inserted the crystal lotus on the white orb.
"Aura Dimension." Ash stated as the crystal lotus suddenly emitted a dark blue light. "What do you know, it actually worked." Ash then closed his eyes and placed his hand in the dark blue light, temporarily transferring his subconscious to the white sphere.
'So this is what master means of entering the subconscious of Pokémon and humans tend to create an imaginary world, cool.' Ash thought as he glanced at Pikachu's subconscious world. As Ash's subconscious entered the white sphere, Ash can't help but bewildered. He was in the middle of a storm with metal obelisk scattered all around. The strict of lightning were raining towards one direction and that was in a middle of a giant stone that was in a shape of a saber tooth tiger, or something like that.
'Well, at least it's not a sphere.' Ash though humorously as he approach the statue.
"Hey Pikachu, are you still breathing." Ash asked as he approach the statue.
The eyes of the statue suddenly glowed as well as the gem on the forehead of the statue. "Ash is that you?" The statue asked in a voice that Ash knew all too well.
"Yeah, it's me partner. Are you okay?" Ash asked as he inches closer to the statue.
"Don't come near me. I can't control this power, I might hurt you." Pikachu stated in a frantic tone.
"I know because you're not trying to control the power, you're trying to contain it." Ash said as he laid his hand on the forehead of the statue.
"I don't want to evolve." Pikachu said in a sullen voice.
"And I didn't want to leave does asshole when they stabbed me in the back but I did and looked at me now, look at us now. We have great and faithful friends and Pokémons, we live in a good house in a middle of a beautiful island, we have an amazing team, I'm becoming smarter when it comes to the world, I'm learning how to control this power I have, and more importantly I have the girl of my dreams in my arms. That all happen because I choose to evolve myself." Ash said with a smile, thinking back to all the changes that happened to his life.
"Pikachu, partner, it's time for you to evolve, like me. You may not like changes but sometimes it's for the better." Ash said in a comforting tone.
"But what if…." Pikachu trailed off, not wanting to finish his statement.
"What if you evolve into a Raichu? That's impossible partner and you know it." Ash said with a smile.
"You always know the right words to make me do things that I don't want." Pikachu chuckled as the statue began to break.
"Blame Elena, Partner. She's the one that change me for the better. Hell, she's the reason why I'm training with my Aura." Ash said with a goofy smile.
"Let me guess, you want to become an Aura Sage so that you could make Elena a crystal castle." Pikachu said with a chuckled.
Ash snapped his neck at the other direction and coughed hesterically. "We are not talking about what I'll do with my power when I achieve that." Ash said with a blush.
Pikachu laughed as the cracks of the statue began to break. Ash noticing it smiled. "I'll be outside partner, hurry it up. We have a lot of ass to kick." With that, Ash disappeared from Pikachu's subconscious.
"Evolving might not be that bad." Pikachu muttered as the statue completely shattered.
(Scene Change)
"Damn, there like roaches." Valdrade stated in frustration as she knocked out another steel type with a psychic blast.
"And were lacking one Aura Guardian." Sarah said as he ordered another chain of commands to her fatigue Pokémons.
"Trust Ash will you. He and Pikachu is about to join the battle." Elena said as she dodge an attack. She not good at dodging attacks while ordering attacks unlike her beloved who was the master of wiping out huge amount of opponents while ordering chains of attacks via violin.
'Hey Elena, please stand back. If you get hurt, even if slightly, Ash wouldn't battle this Pokémons, he would slaughter them.' Felix stated as he took out another waved of Electric and Steel Pokémons with a single shot from his bow.
"I can't, I can't always stand back while Ash protects me." Elena said as she ordered another chain of command. Koyuki on the other hand was protecting her 'mother's' blind side, trying to deflect the attacks that was headed towards them from behind.
'Damn it girl, Look at your Salamence and looked at Ash's Pokémons, their already tired. They receive more attacks than any of us. Elena stand back, I'm begging you. If you get hurt, Ash will turn this place into a warzone and no Pokémon will leave her unscratched or uninjured.' Felix exclaimed with a desperate tone.
Elena was too busy ordering and dodging attacks to hear what Felix said, even telepathically. She was so preoccupied in commanding her Salamence and Ash's Pokémons that she didn't notice a trench that was beneath her. As she dodged a Flash Cannon, she tripped at the trench, spraining her ankle in the process. Koyuki having been distracted for a moment was paralyzed by a Thunder Wave that she didn't manage to block. The two of them stumbled down to the ground.
'You foolish girl.' Felix stated as he tried to approach her, only to be block by hundreds of steel Pokémons.
"Koyuki, are you okay?" Elena asked worriedly as she tended to her ankle. Koyuki merely grunted, feeling the blue electricity restricting her movements. Elena tried to stand but the sprain on her ankle was preventing her. She looked up only to see a Scizor charging at her with a Metal Claw.
Not seeing any way to dodge, she closed her eyes, preparing for the pain. It didn't came. As she felt the second pass and not feeling any once of pain, she opened her eyes only to see Ash with a large cut wound on his chest and with murderous eyes.
"ASH." Elena yelled, petrified after seeing the large wound on his chest.
"You know there is one thing that a person nor a Pokémon should not do while I'm around." Ash then held the claw of the Scizor, preventing it from moving, and look at it with eyes the promised pain. "And that is to hurt my Elena." Ash snarled as he hit the Scizor with a powerful punch on the gut, while releasing a huge amount of Aura in the process. The Scizor screamed in pain as the Aura exploded on its body. The Scizor continue screaming in pain for ten seconds before the explosion of Aura subsided, leaving it gravely injured. Ash seeing that the damage was done, threw the Scizor effortlessly before coughing up some blood.
"ASH." Elena yelled as she tried to stand up but was prevented by the sprain of her ankle.
"Don't worry loved, this is nothing." Ash said as he smiled at her before facing the army of Pokemons.
"PIKACHU, ARE YOU DONE YET." Ash yelled, which was answered by a bone chilling roared, blowing the smoke that covered the place where Pikachu was. What they saw was not what they expected. The sight of an armored tiger like Pokémon that they have never seen before was not the sight that they expected.
"It's a nice look on you, partner. Shall we." Ash said with a malicious grin.
The armored tiger merely roar as the two of them charged at the army of Pokemons.
As the two of them battled together, there wasn't really a battle, it was a slaughter. With the two of them combined, the two of them sweep the army of Electric and Steel Pokémons like they were nothing.
(End of Flashback)
"Whoa, that battle is still very disturbing to watch." Sarah said as the blue dome disappeared in mid-air."Okay, history lesson is over, let's go." Sarah then looked at the astonish faces of her the group. "Valdrade.."
"Yeah, I know." Valdrade said as she levitated the four girls and teleported them back to the bench.
"Let's go as well, I don't want to get caught in the cross fire." Valdrade stated as she walked towards the bench.
"Agree to that." Sarah said as she followed suit.
Ash seeing that the others had leave him and Cynthia alone, decided to speak to his opponent." What's your decision Cynthia?" Ash asked as he looked at het.
Cynthia looked at Ash with an astonish expression. Ash merely shook his head at her expression. "Don't be shock, Cynthia. Pikachu only evolve into Saberaichu because he was special since he was born, how do you explain his incredible power when he was still unable to evolve? He was always storing electric and magnetic energy in order for him to evolve and that mountain actually triggered that evolution, that also caused the mountain to stop emitting those energies but I'll let Sarah explained that." Ash exclaimed with a shrugged of his shoulder.
"Now upon your choices." Ash said as he looked at Cynthia with a dangerous glint on his eyes. "First choice, you battle Saberaichu with your Garchomp without using that ability and me and Saberaichu will send her to the Pokémon Center in a stretcher and gravely injured. Second choice, you battle me and Saber with the use of your Garchomp's secret ability and you might beat me. What's your choice?" Ash asked as he coldly grins at Cynthia.
Cynthia looked at Ash and smiled. After watching that memory of Ash, she now knew him better. For a start, he was one hell of a warrior. He never bluffs and never holds back his power. She then looked at Saberaichu, after seeing the carnage that Pokémon did; she knew that Saberaichu could battle with her Garchomp at full throttle. She then glanced at Garchomp, she remembered the time were they achieve that ability and when she decided that it was too dangerous to use in a battle. She remembered how her Garchomp always complained that she was a soft heated moron for not using that ability in battle, especially the time she battled Valdrade and Sarah, especially that battle against Valdrade.
She didn't won that battle actually, it was a tie, but Valdrade said she won because she manage to K-O her prized Deoxys and her prized Cresselia, she manage to knock them out by the skin of her teeth. It was a shallow victory and her Garchomp was very upset at that, she knew that she could beat those two by using her secret ability. She was angry and upset at Cynthia but she can't leave her, she was too loyal to her.
"I choose the second one." Cynthia declared as she looked at her Garchomp. "Garchomp, Dragon Impulse now." Cynthia yelled. Garchomp's smiled maliciously as a purple eerie aura surround her. The pupils of her eyes disappear and the purple aura covered her dragon body.
"FINALLY." Ash shouted with glee. "Saberaichu let's rock, Velocity Blade now." Ash commanded.
The dual blade on Saberaichu's back retracted and extended to his back, the two blades glow silver as Saberaichu charge towards Garchomp with a speed that surpasses an Extreme Speed.
"Garchomp, fight it off with Brick Flame." Cynthia commanded with a smile. Garchomp's two fins emitted fire as she slams two of her flaming fins to the two silver blade of her opponent.
Saberaichu and Garchomp looked at each other as they try to overpower each other. They smiled maliciously; they finally found an opponent worthy of their power. Ash and Cynthia looked at each other eye to eye, this battle will end in the next ten minutes.
"Garchomp, jump backward and used Pulse Edge." Cynthia ordered. Garchomp jumped a couple of yards from Saberaichu, avoiding the silver blade of said Pokémon, before swinging her left fin, sending hundreds of diamond shape energy pulses towards Saberaichu's way
"Lightning Flare." Ash yelled. The armour that surround Saberaichu's body began retracting backwards and downwards revealing hundreds of gun barrel on the armor and with a roar, Saberaichu fired multiple blast of thick lightning towards Garchomp.
As the two multi-shot attacks clash and exploded causing a massive cloud of dust, both attacks were too combustible for the two to overpower each other. The cloud of dust was nothing to the two combatants.
"Saber, Silver Seeker." Ash shouted. In the cloud of dust, Saber eyes glowed red as the two lances like cannon launch two silver missiles t and curved towards the right.
Cynthia hearing that attack decided to moved. "Garchomp, protect yourself with Stone Obelisk." Garchomp's eyes glowed purple as she raised her claws in the air causing five stone obelisks to rise and rapidly spun around her, blowing the cloud of dust in the process. The two silver missiles crash to the stone obelisk, destroying the obelisk but Garchomp was still unharmed.
"Garchomp, charge in with Aerial Combustion." Cynthia ordered as she analyzed Saberaichu. Garchomp body was suddenly engulfed with streaks of fire as she charged towards Saberaichu with tremendous speed.
"Saber, let's matched that with Voltage Flight." Ash ordered. The two blades of Saberaichu's back once again retracted but this time, the two blades became thinner and multiply as it made a pair of metallic wings. Saberaichu's entire body then glow bright yellow as every nerve and every inch of his body pulse with electricity. He then flew towards Garchomp with the same speed that she was travelling.
The two attacks clash causing the ground beneath the two to grumble, the air around them to spark with energy, and energy flew around uncontrollably. The two of them tried to overpower each other but they were evenly match.
"Just as I thought." Ash whispered as he overlooked the two battling Pokémons.
"The two of them in terms of power are equal." Cynthia said under her breath.
'Tactician wise, Cynthia and I are even as well.' Ash thought with a cold smile.
'With Ash's ability to manipulate the field as he saw fit and my knowledge of different kinds of strategies, we're pretty much even.' Cynthia thought with a grim smile.
'So this is the skill of a natural born trainer.' Ash thought as he gazed at the field one more time, deciding to end this with in three ways, with either three moves.
'The strongest trainers in this generation, the Prince of Champions, the Monster of South Light Island, those titles are well deserved, Ash Ketchum.' Cynthia though, already planning the strategy to end this battle, the attack to end this battle.
"Saber, disappear and retreat." Ash said with a calm tone.
"Garchomp, move away as well." Cynthia ordered.
The two Pokémons were a bit hesitant but quickly move away from each other, the two of them landed at the far-end of the destroyed field. The two Pokémons looked at each other with malicious grins and with murder in their eyes.
"Hey Cynthia." Cynthia looked at Ash who showed her three of his fingers. "This isn't going anywhere so I'll end this battle with one-hit. That's why I'm going to used three of Saberaichu's strongest attacks." Ash declared coldly.
Cynthia knowing that Ash was telling the truth and this battle will really end in one hit by the use of a powerful attack decided to end it as well. "You want a test of power, you got it." Cynthia said with a grin.
"Nice to know. Saber, prepare for the Charge Particle Beam Gun (I just couldn't resist)." Ash commanded as he put up an Aura Shield, large enough to cover the field. Saberaichu's eyes glowed red as he rooted his four sharp claws to the ground. The five blades extended as it absorb the friction in the air, the marking on its face glowed, and the gem on its forehead glowed bright blue. Saberaichu's entire body straightens as some vents on its body opened, absorbing electricity in the air as well. Saberaichu then opened his mouth which was glowing with intense energy.
"Can't dodge that." Cynthia giggled before becoming serious once again. "Garchomp, Hyper Draco Asteroid." Cynthia ordered. Garchomp opened her mouth as a purple sphere appeared above it. The purple sphere was slowly absorbing energy from everywhere, from the rocks, from the water, from the air, from the trees and flowers, and even from the Aura Shield that Ash made. When the sphere became as clear as a diamond, Garchomp swallowed it which caused her body to glow with benevolent purple aura.
"FIRE," Ash and Cynthia shouted in unison. Saberaichu then unleashed a massive and intense blast of violet electricity, which was three times larger than his body. The blast was so powerful that it had managed to grind the ground that was ten feet away from it. Garchomp on the other hand shot a condense orb of pure combustible energy which was spiraling in a high rate that it manage to create a tornado around it. The two attacks clash and for a moment, just for a mere moment, the two attacks tried to overpower each other. At that moment there was silence because after that moment, an explosion of energy leveled and annihilated the entire field.
Ash seeing that the field was once again covered by a large cloud of dust, let out a large pulse of Aura, dispersing the smoke easily. What he and Cynthia saw will be forever be in their minds, the field was completely and utterly leveled, the water was evaporated, the ice melted then evaporated, the grass was complexly gone, and the ground was utterly smashed but still, the two Pokémon powerhouse were still standing, even if barely.
Ash seeing that his master piece was destroyed, just smirked coldly. "One down, two to go. Saber, Gatling Stars." Ash commanded with a cold smirked. Saberaichu's eyes once again glowed but this time it was silver, as the two lances like cannons suddenly moved upwards to its shoulder blade. The two cannons then created two silver orbs which combined to create a single glowing orb. The orb was sparkling like it was containing starts on it and was also twentyfeet in diameter. Saberaichu then fired the orb towards the sky. The orb spun wildly and rapidly as it released multiple silver and condensed spheres towards Garchomp.
"Shit, that moved is unavoidable. Garchomp, Storm Edge." Cynthia ordered hastily, seeing the attack was inching closer to Garchomp. The ground beneath Garchomp trembled as her body glowed with a benevolent yellow Aura. With a roar, thirteen sandstorms in a shape of a dragon rose up and charged towards the barrage of silver orbs.
The two powerful attacks once again clash with each other but it was clear that the two attacks were once again even. As the two attacks cancelled each other, the wind above them was literally cut in half.
Ash seeing that the second attack was useless decided that it's time to use that Godforsaken moved. He chuckled coldly after remembering the first and only time he used that moved. Cynthia on the other hand was smirking; this was the best and most intense battle the she had fought in with her full strength and with the full power of her Garchomp, she wasn't sure if she could win. The two Pokémons on the field were grinning, win or lose; they will definitely battle again in the future.
"Hey Cynthia, let's end this." Ash said with a soft smile on his face.
"Yes let's." Cynthia replied with a smile.
"Saber, Emperors Charge." Ash yelled.
"Garchomp, Tribute to the Dragon." Cynthia shouted.
As the two attacks were commanded, as the two attacks were formed, and as the two attacks collided, it was finally over.
