Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon if I did Ash would win a league and age.

A/N: Okay had time to cool down and have decided to carry on, after all many of you reminded me that this is my story, and I can write it how I want, just a heads up anyone who liked that jerk and cheat Alain, you may not like the Silver Conference chapters, that's right, he pissed me off so much that I have bought him here to the Silver conference, isn't Fanfiction great XD

Silver Conference Opening Ceremony

The earth shook as the two Pokemon collided in the middle of the arena. Both were locked in a stalemate, as each tried to push the other, in order to gain some space. Garchomp growled as it looked up into the face of the determined Dragonite. Both were battling for their trainers, as Champion Pokemon this match up was one of pride.

"Amazing folk, after both champions order dragon rush, we find both Garchomp and Dragonite locked in the centre of the arena. Which one will give in first."

Lydia looked out onto the battle field, Lance wasn't pulling in punches, what was suppose to be an exhibition match had turned into something a lot more personal. "Garchomp use Dragon Pulse!

Garchomp broke the hold and jumped back, it then used the powerful dragon attack, which hit Dragonite causing it to skid back a few meters, however it just grunted.

Lance looked on. "Good job Dragonite, now use Dragon Dance!" Dragonite began to dance raising it attack and speed.

Lydia was wondering why Lance wasn't attacking, oh well if he wasn't going to attack she would. "Garchomp use Dragon Claw!" Garchomp claw at the edge of its huge fin arm glowed and grew, it then raced towards Dragonite.

Lance noticed Garchomp closing in on his Dragonite. "Okay buddy, we have drawn them in now use Dragon tail!" Dragonite tail suddenly glowed, it then spun in a circle causing its tail to lash out and catch the incoming Garchomp right under its jaw.

Garchomp growled as it flew back and crashed into the arena floor. Its got to one knee and then grinned at Dragonite, it would take a lot more then that to knock this dragon out. Garchomp then roared to try intimidate Dragonite who looked on unimpressed.

Lydia on the other hand was thinking in her trainers box, Lance had suckered them in, well that wouldn't be happening again. Garchomp use Sword Dance!" Garchomp roared as it did spectral swords appeared and surrounded him. Its attack then greatly rose.

Lance frowned, so she was boosting Garchomp attack, okay then lets see if she could deal with this."Dragonite use Ice Beam!" Dragonite opened its mouth and a blue orb began to form in its mouth. The Ice beam then blasted across the field towards Garchomp.

Lydia saw the Ice beam and panicked, "Garchomp use Dig now!" Garchomp immediately burrowed into the earth as the ice beam just missed. Just then its huge fin burst from the earth and started to move towards Dragonite underground.

Lance watched as the fin came towards his Pokemon, he then grinned. "Dragonite use Earthquake!'" Dragonite roared and its arm suddenly glowed, it then smashed its arm into the ground causing a fissure across the arena which up rooted Garchomp and sent it skyward.

Lydia had been suckered in again, and she didn't like it. "Garchomp adjust in the air and use Dragon Claw!" Garchomp did what his mistress wanted. It dived towards Dragonite with its claw glowing.

Lance looked up, so she was trying to attack from the air now, it wouldn't do her any good. Garchomp had suffered serious damage from that earthquake and now it was time to end this. "Dragonite use Dragon tail and then finish it with Ice Beam!" Dragonite tail again glowed, it spun around and lashed its tail upwards, which again smashed into Garchomp and sent it skyward once more. Dragonite then opened its mouth and unleashed the Ice beam skywards which hit the Ground/Dragon duel type causing it to growl in pain. Falling towards the earth now was a huge chunk of ice with a Frozen Garchomp inside.

The referee watched as the chunk of ice hit the arena floor and smashed. Right in the middle of the ice shards was the body of Garchomp, its eyes were swirls. The referee then raised the flag on Lance's side of the field. "Garchomp is unable to battle the winner is Dragonite.

Lydia groaned and recalled her Pokemon, she then walked onto the battle field and met Lance in the middle. Both Champions shook hands to the sound of cheers and applause from the stands around them. The Huge screen in the centre of the arena flashed on to show Mr Goodshow.

"Well done to Both Lydia and Lance, that battle was just what we needed to launch this years Silver Conference. I which to congratulate all those who qualified and will be taking part in the tournament. The Computer as randomly sorted you into your groups. In all there will be eight groups. Ranging from letters A to H. There will be four trainers in each group. You must win two out three of your battles to qualify for the next round. Only two from each group will progress. The qualifying rounds will limit you to using two Pokemon each. The first round of battle will take place later this afternoon. Now with out further delay let us see who will be in what group."

Ash and the girls were sat in the stands, and looked towards the board. It seems he was in Group A along with three trainers one that he recognised, it was Casey, so she had made it here too. Cynthia was in group D so there was no chance of them meeting in the second round, as the two winners of A faced the two winners of B. Ash suddenly heard his Pokedex and removed it from his pocket. His first opponent was a guy called Alain, Ash scrolled down and looked at the ten Pokemon he had. Several he didn't recognise, and it was no wonder he was from the Kalos region, question was what was he doing entering the Johto Silver Conference. He was also several years older then Ash. "Looks like my first opponent is a guy called Alain, will be battling at 4pm on centre field. How about you Cynthia?"

Cynthia checked her Pokedex, however she had no alerts. "Nothing yet, then again I am in group D so will most likely get info on my first opponent tomorrow. He looks tough Ash, he entered the Kalos League twice and has made it to the finals."

Ash nodded, the fact they could only use two Pokemon for the qualifying rounds would make it more difficult too. " I think I will go with Charizard and Dragonite."

On the other side of the arena, a boy in his late teens was looking down at his Pokedex. He was dressed in a blue jacket, and wrapped around his neck was fluffy white scarf. His name was Alain, and he was 19 years old from the Kalos region. He had considered entering the Kalos league again, but decided he would use other leagues to train and improve his skills. Unfortunately with his secret weapon, he had breezed right through the Johto gyms, in fact no one had given him a challenge. Alain used his finger to trace down the screen, his first opponent was a boy called Ash Ketchum, 15 years old and winner of the Indigo League and Orange Islands. Alain also noticed the three blacked out photos with legends under each one. So this kid had legends, maybe he had found someone who could finally give him a decent challenge.

Later that Evening Centre Arena

Ash stood in his trainers box and looked out across the field where his opponent was stood ready to battle. There were cheers all around them as the crowd got set to watch their first battle of the tournament. Ash looked to the side of the Arena where a Referee stood ready with two flags.

"This is an official Silver Conference battle, the rules are as follow, each trainers is allowed to use two Pokemon, substitutes are allowed, there are no one hit KO moves allowed, all other clauses are in effect. Trainers ready your first Pokemon."

Ash removed a ball from his belt and threw it onto the field. "Go Charizard!" The fire/flying duel type appeared on the field and roared ready to battle.

Alain grinned so this kid was starting with Charizard, he would do the same. "I choose you Charizard" with his secret weapon this round wouldn't last long. Soon as the Charizard had appeared on the field Alain grasped a charm hanging from his necklace. "Charizard Mega-evolve now!" The Charizard suddenly roared and began to glow.

In Stands VIP area

Mr Goodshow stroked his beard, so the boy was going to mega evolve right from the start, he knew this would be the first time many in the arena had ever heard of mega evolving. When he had found out that a trainer from Kalos would be entering, he had considered banning mega evolution, but decided to allow it in the end. It would be a nice surprise for the audience, also a good test for his future Kanto Champion.

Ash stood in his trainers box speechless, there stood in front of his Charizard was another Charizard but this was very different. Its skin had turned black, and it now had a blue underbelly, its wings were more bat like now and they too was blue. Around its mouth blue flames could be seen.

"What the hell is that boss! I have seen a few Charizards but one never like this."

Ash could since Charizard nervousness. So this was mega evolving, he had read about the term in his Pokedex, which had been updated with Kalos data, however he hadn't expected to face the evolution so suddenly. According to the Pokedex, if a bond between a trainer and their Pokemon is strong, and the trainers has a mega stone. Then they can evolve that Pokemon beyond its final evolution, what made Mega evolution so interesting was the evolution was temporary. Ash had also read that their type changed and their weaknesses do too.

Alain smirked this kid was too shocked to be a threat, looks like just another victim. "Charizard use Dragon Claw!" Charizard claws glowed and grew, it then flew across the field ready to strike.

Ash, decided to counter. "Charizard use Smoke Screen!" Charizard opened its mouth, and began to disperse thick black smoke all over the field, blocking the vision of the incoming Charizard. It then stepped to the side and dodged the attack.

Alain looked across the field. "Hiding won't do you any good kid. "Charizard use your wings to blow that smoke away!" Charizard flapped its huge wings dispersing the smoke, this left it wide open for a counter. Which Ash was going to take full advantage of.

"Now Charizard use your own Dragon Claw!" Charizard claws grew and he then slashed them against the black dragon who skidded back and fell to one knee.

Alain was surprised how had one Dragon claw done that? "Charizard use your own Dragon Claw!" The Black Charizard roared and its claws grew once more, it then raced towards Charizard.

Ash decided to take a leaf out of Lance's play book. "Counter with Dragon Tail!" Charizard tail glowed, he then spun and lashed out his tail which smashed into the black Charizard. It cried out as it rolled backwards then turned into red energy and went back to Alain.

Alain growled, clearly he had underestimated this kid, he had been expecting basic Charizard type moves, but it seems this kid Charizard had a few surprises. Alain looked to his trainer belt and noticed a random ball glowed. Appearing now on the field was his Bisharp. This Pokemon was a dark/steel type. "You caught me off guard with that one Ash, well you won't be doing that again. "Bisharp use Sword Dance and the use Night Slash!" Bisharp raised its attack and then charged towards Charizard, with one of his arms glowing and surrounded by dark energy."

Ash noticed the Pokemon charging towards his Charizard, "Charizard use Blast Burn!" Charizard entire body glowed, it then created a wall of hot flames that danced across the field engulfing the Steel/dark type. Once the flames had died down it showed the steel/dark type swaying.

Alain frowned. He had expected a fire type attack, his Pokemon had been trained to resist fire attacks, but blast burn was no ordinary fire type attack, it was the most powerful fire type move a fire type could learn, it was also a special move that only Charizard could learn, or another fire starter from one of the other regions. Being powerful though had a major draw back, the user was immobilised for a few seconds. Alain decided he would throw this round, and face Ash further in the tournament. It was clear he had found a worthy trainer, but these little group battles wasn't the stage he wanted for such a match up. "Bisharp use Guillotine!" Alain knew he would get DQ but it wasn't like he would lose his next two upcoming battles.

Ash was surprised he watched as his Charizard was hit with the one hit KO attack, fainting his Pokemon, however there was a sudden whistle from the referee who was now waving a red flag. "Blue trainer you are hereby disqualified from this match, for breaking the no KO move clause. Therefore I declare the red trainer Ash Ketchum the winner."

Ash stood there stunned, he noticed Alain recalled his Pokemon and then walked off the field. Ash ran after him, and shouted. "Hey what the hell was that!" Sure a win, was a win, but Ash wanted a battle, he watched as Alain stopped and then turned his head.

"We will meet again Ash Ketchum, in the later rounds. I underestimated you, something I won't do again. Next time we face each other, you better bring everything you have to the table, because I assure you, I will be doing the same." Alain then continued to walk down the tunnel to the sounds of boo and hisses from the crowd.

VIP Area

Mr Goodshow looked around the stand all that could be heard was boo and hisses directed to Alain, the trainer were read the rules before the match so why break one of them and get himself disqualified? It made no sense. Just as Mr Goodshow was pondering on the few reason Alain could have thrown the match, he was interrupted by Lance.

"It seems Alain wants a bigger stage, He was also surprised by Ash's counter to his Mega-evolution" Lance personally thought the whole idea of mega-evolving was a cheap trick, it was a bit unfair that not only did Mega-evolved Pokemon get an attack and defense boost, but their type changed too. In Charizard case it goes from fire/flying to Fire/Dragon, however it seems Ash had worked that out as his Charizard used two dragon type moves.

Mr Goodshow inclined his head. "Yes maybe you're right, after all he is the only one here with Mega evolution so it quite likely he would use that to get through to the knock out stages. I also have full confident in Ash reaching the finals too. The boy a future champion, end of."

Lance had to agree of all the trainers he had faced outside of the Elite four, Ash had been the hardest, it was only the fact that his Pokemon was fully evolved that he had won. Had Ash Dragonair evolved during their battle, then it could have gone either way. Lance also liked that Ash was putting into action moves and strategies that he had seen, example suckering in that Mega-Charizard and then using Dragon tail. Just like he had used against Lydia.

"Mr Goodshow what did you decide to do about Lydia and Cynthia in the end? I was just curious as I know you had them both summoned to your office. What happened to Ash was unfortunate, then again he young, so maybe now he will know not to try stop a cat fight."

Mr Goodshow frowned, Lance might have the funny side of things, but he didn't. Lydia was a champion and she needed to behave like it. "Both have been given a verbal warning, if something happened between them two again here at the Silver Conference, then Cynthia would be disqualified from the Silver Conference, as for Lydia, she causes anymore problems and she will stripped of her title as champion."

Lance was surprised by the punishments, they sounded a bit harsh, then again the incident had almost left poor Ash unable to compete, and he knew Mr Goodshow favoured the boy, even if he didn't show it. " When do the next rounds start?"

Mr Goodshow looked at his watch. "Suppose to be in half an hour or so, but this match finished to early, so I have ordered some light entertainment for the crowd until the next round begins. I wonder where Ash is, he didn't look very happy, and I can't blame him either."

Silver Town arena dressing room.

Ash was pacing back and forth, he was absolutely livid, how dare someone get DQ on purpose? Ash didn't want to win his matches like that. He wanted to prove to the world that he was the best Pokemon trainer and future Pokemon master. It was also an insult, it was like oh you don't matter really, I will just take the loss and battle you later, I mean come on, who thinks like that.

Pikachu was sat on the bench watching as Ash let off some steam. "Easy boss you're about to blow a gasket, sure it was an unusual way to win, but a win is win right, you only need one more and you qualify for the knock out rounds."

Ash looked to his partner, "But that's not the point, he embarrassed me in front of millions. Well if we meet again, I will make sure he pays for it. I don't care if he has a whole team of Mega-evolved Pokemon, I will take him apart piece by piece, starting with that Charizard of his."

A/N: Yes I have turned Alain into a huge Jerk, he had no right to win Kalos, and in this he won't be beating Ash, so if you're hoping to see a good battle back and forth, then I am sorry to say this but Ash is going to totally humiliate the wanker! After all this is fanfiction I can destroy a person character how I want, whenever I want :P
