Chapter 23: True Power Unleashed

When Delia and Gary got outside what they saw shocked them. "Okay Infernape that was good and I know you're holding back but I can take it so stop holding back." Ash said as he continued to exchange blows with Infernape while the others watched them in total interest.

Then Gary decided to ask. "Okay guys, what is going on here? Has Ash finally lost his mind or what?"

Then Ash stopped and said, "No Gary, I'm just getting some training done so..." Just then he was interrupted as Infernape delivered a fierce MachPunch to the gut and sent Ash flying and Gary yelled,

"ASH!" Then Gary noticed that no one was worried about Ash and asked, "How come you guys aren't worried about Ash? And just who are you two anyway?"

Derek and Mar exchanged glances and Mar said, "My name is Mar, and this here is Derek. I am Ash's father while Derek is Ash's twin brother." Gary was shocked at this.

"Wait, I thought that his farther left before he was born, and I didn't know he had a brother!"

Mar then said, "All will be explained later on, and if you are wondering why we don't seem to be worried about Ash, well let's just say that Ash has been through worse things then this. And I thought that you knew that. You and Ash were rivals at one point weren't you?"

Then Gary thought about it for a while until a golden light caught him off guard. Then in a golden blaze of aura, Ash came back but he looked different. Instead of his Kalos clothing, he was wearing what looked like a golden guardian outfit completed with the vest, pants and large hat even a staff.

Then Mar said, "Amazing."

Gary then looked at him and Derek nodded and said, "Yes, it looks like he is starting to go all out. Now things will be getting interesting. " Gary didn't reply as he was in total awe of what he was seeing.

Then Ash charged back into the fight saying, "Come on Infernape, I'm not done yet, I'm only just getting started."

Infernape couldn't help but smile. "Alright Ash, if that's what you want then, you ready for round two?"

Then the two fighters went back to fighting. Then Gary asked, "Okay, what was that?"

Mar just smiled and said, "That, is the power of an aura guardian. But Ash has different aura then most people. His aura's true power comes from his friends. And because everyone that he meets has, in a way, becomes his friend, he becomes more powerful then a normal aura user so, lets just see how this fight goes." Derek just nodded while Gary watched in disbelief.

Both Ash and Infernape's battle was really starting to heat up then both launched a strong punch at each others faces and blew both of them away. Ash was first to get up but Infernape looked like he was on his last leg. Then Ash said, "Come on Infernape!" This caught everyone's attention. "You're stronger then this! I know you're afraid of hurting me but trust me I'll be fine! Let it go! EXPLODE! SHOW US ALL YOUR TRUE POWER!" Ash literally yelled causing everyone to think he was crazy.

Then Gary asked, "Whats that nimrod doing this time? Has he gone insane?"

Then Dawn said, "No, he wants this to be an even match." Dawn said causing Gary to give her a confused look.

Then Brock said, "You see, Ash has gone all out in this fight but Infernape is still holding back because he is afraid of hurting Ash, but because Ash is well Ash, he wants them both to go all out and that can only happen if Ash allows Infernape to use blaze, and as you heard, he has give him permission to unleash his full power." Gary was about to ask them something else when Infernape began to move again, but this time it was different.

Infernape's eyes changed color, and not the standard red, like when Blaze was usually activated these were bright blue. Then Infernape spoke and not in his native tongue but in english, what he said next was, "You want me to go all out Ash? You want me to use my true power? Then, SO BE IT! AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!" Then Infernapes fire grew tenfold and then turned blue, this caught everyone off guard even Ash.

Then Mar said, "Such power, is this, is this Infernapes true power?" Mar asked.

Then Dawn shook her head and almost looked scarred and said, "I, I've never seen him like this before."

Then Mar asked, "But you said that you've seen him when Blaze was activated. What changed?"

Then a mysterious voice said, "What changed was that Ash had just allowed Infernape to use his true power."

Just then everyone turned and saw, "Paul!?" Dawn asked.

The Sinnoh trainer smiled and said, "Yeah, that's me. It's nice to see that you remembered me." Paul said with his usual cocky attitude.

Then Mar said, "What do you mean by his true power, Paul?"

Paul looked at all the new people around him then he noticed the two that look like Ash. And just shrugged them off for now.

"What I mean is that all this time, when Infernape or his previous evolutions activated blaze, he was in fact holding back how much power he unleashed without even knowing it. I found out that a lot of times that when blaze is activated, the fire types are unconsciously shielding away their true hidden power. And can only be unleashed when their trainer allows it."

Then Infernape said, "Yeah that's right. And it's good to see you Paul. It's been awhile."

Paul just smiled and said, "Yeah, it has, hasn't it?" Paul said with a smile.

Then Ash said, "So, this is your true power huh? You ready for the third and final round buddy?"

Infernape just smiled and nodded. Then the two clashed with such power. Infernape unleashed a deadly Flamethrower at Ash who blocked it with an aura shield.

Then Ash said, "Yeah now that's what I'm talking about! In a normal battle this would be considered too much power. But when training with me this is the kind of power that can only come from one who was no longer holding back! Now then, as much fun as I am having, I'm afraid that this has gone down long enough so let's end this, here and now."

Then Ash began charging a golden aura sphere in his right hand while Infernape began charging a reddish blue one in his left. Then the two dashed towards each other when a wall of golden aura separated them from the others.

"What, what is this?" Paul asked.

Then Mar said, "This, this is Ash's work. Even in the heart of battle he still can't stand to see others getting hurt so he threw up this wall of aura to keep us from getting hurt."

Then in a huge explosion of power the wall died down and dust swept the area. When the dust finally cleared everyone saw that both Ash and Infernape were unconscious but something was different, Ash was still in his golden outfit and Infernape was now completely blue.

Then Delia went to pick Ash up who started to regain consciousness who said with a voice that had a sense of humor in it, "Ow, did anybody get the number of that bus that hit me?"

Then Derek said, "It's nice to see that your sense of humor hasn't changed after all these years brother." Ash smiled then fell back into unconsciousness.

Thechaosmaster: Well then, what did you guys think? Ash's golden outfit idea came to me while I was discussing Narutos Chakra/Tailed Beast form. And the Blue Infernape? I wanted to truly bring out his true power, but it will only belong to this story, and he won't be the only one to get an upgrade. Who is it? Well wait and see. Till next time!

CHAOS CONTROL!
