Another few days had passed since Ash came into possession of his new powers. As those days went on, Ash discovered more and more of his abilities, including but not limited to suppressing his aura to conceal his presence from his rival Aura Guardian.
Upon his numerous discoveries, Ash thought it prudent to hold a meeting with several generals he elected amongst his numerous subjects among the Alolan Populace.
"With my newfound skills, I will resign myself to hiding away as an ace in the hole for when the battle comes." Ash said to his generals in the war room inside the Aether Paradise nerve center.
"All four of my Head Admins from my Team Rose shall be stationed on each of the four major islands to assist you in the war effort." Ash said to the generals, pointing to the map of the Region. "Empress Serena will be working in conjunction with you on Mele Mele, Clemont. I hope to see great things from you two, since that island will more than likely be focused down first."
"You can count on me, Ash!" Clemont said with a thumbs up. "My slave Kahili will help in air combat with her Flying Pokémon as well."
"Good." Ash nodded his head. "Kiawe, you'll be in charge of the Akala island front alongside my slave, Cynthia. Focus all of our manpower on the western coastline and HeaHea city itself."
"Got it." Kiawe nodded his head.
"Guzma, you'll be working aside my slave mistress Annabel to protect Ula Ula." Ash ordered the reformed former Team Skull leader. "You'll have the least resistance among all the islands given your position, so you'll mostly be awaiting orders for support should we need it."
"Ok!" Guzma acknowledged his Emperor.
"Annabel will be given a Zoroark that I caught a few days ago. We shall be using its illusionary prowess to make it look like that the oceans around the eastern side of our Nation look treacherous from a storm it will create. We will use that to ward off any attempt at a pincer maneuver from the eastern front." Ash added on.
"Hapu, you and my slave Bonnie will be in charge of protecting Poni Island. It's a smaller island compared to the rest, and with little inhabitants. I still recommend you have the seafolk villagers use their boats as cannon fodder should the need call for distraction." Ash further noted, looking toward the woman.
"Your command skill is second to none, my Emperor." Hapu said humbly. "I will prove to you how wise it was to make me one of your generals."
"Very good, then let us discuss tactics." Ash said, turning back to the map.
Putting his finger on the North West most point, Ash began to form a strategy.
"The fleet of the Alliance will be coming from about this point. Our position as a nation is close to Kanto from this spot, so they will more than likely beeline us from Fuchsia City." Ash noted. "Even with Solana being exposed as a spy, the Alliance is still pressed for time. They won't change the way they approach us."
"So what do you have in mind then?" Clemont asked his friend and Emperor.
"You have a squadron of swimming and flying Pokémon and people in planes and boats travel out to the enemy as far away from the coast as possible." Ash directed. "Keeping their ships farther out gives our cannons on the rocky cliffs above a better angle for fire. If at all possible, I'm hoping some ocean mines I have armed a week ago should chip away at their vessels as well."
"What happens if they get too close then?" Kiawe asked.
"A land invasion seems completely likely, since they have sheer numbers on us." Ash admitted. "They have a few airships too from what I know, so they might attempt to take out our power supply like last time. If they make landfall, ensuring our power stations don't fall is the primary defense point afterwards."
"What if they make their way to the cities?" Guzma asked.
"The majority of our citizens have been trained for combat now." Ash reassured the man. "If the enemy wishes to claim the cities, they'll be met with far heavier resistance that they could possibly expect."
"And what about Aether Paradise, my Lord?" Hapu asked her superior.
"Aether Paradise will be a staging ground for my slaves of Team Rose." Ash answered the woman. "Any woman not deployed on an island beforehand will be awaiting deployment here. Lusamine and Sabrina will be issuing instructions and advising our people as the situation adapts and changes. Sabrina will also use her psychic prowess to teleport any allies to the crucial battle fronts."
"Hey, Ash." Clemont began to ask. "Are you really certain of our little Nation succeeding against the might of six combined?"
"Yes, Clemont, I am." Ash confidently said. "With the power of Gods inside me, I will ensure the tide of battle goes our way."
"But if you have the powers of Gods on your side, why not use that power immediately?" Clemont asked his friend.
"Because the enemies of my Kingdom of Paradise now believe I'm dead. They will grow overconfident in their attempt to win, seeing any resistances as a desperate struggle rather than a rallied group of soldiers committed to their Emperor." Ash explained to the blonde man. "When they believe victory to be at their cusp, I will descend upon them with divine intervention. The act itself will strike fear into the enemy, breaking their morale."
"I see, and to do that, the people will risk their lives for you." Clemont nodded his head.
"I am beloved by the public of Alola. They see me as a shining beacon alone in the dark pit we call life." Ash told his friend. "If they must endure a bit of pain to see me secure my position as undisputed Emperor of Ash, then it is a price they will gladly pay."
"And where will you be during this time?" Clemont asked his final question. "Back on your private island?"
"No, my island of Providence will be guarded by a handpicked crew of elite slave women." Ash answered the man. "I myself shall be elsewhere, concealing my presence as I build up my Aura with my Vigor Stone. My newfound abilities will allow me to surpass old weaknesses. My new body will allow me to withstand the harsh conditions of where I shall be hiding away."
After finishing his last sentence, Ash made his way to the door.
"You all have your orders. See to following them to the letter." Ash said, leaving the room.
"Yes, your Lordship!" The four generals saluted in agreement, even as the door closed long before they were finished speaking.
"Ash, before you leave." Clemont said, stopping Ash in the hallway even as the other generals passed them by. "I wanted to let you know I finished my development on a special shield device. I wanted you to put it on your island. For Bonnie's sake."
"Thank you, Clemont." Ash smiled at his friend. "I'll have one of my slaves deliver it to the island."
"Thank you, Ash." Clemont saluted to his Emperor. "I have the device in a boat just outside the building."
After calling Hilda and Rosa to come and retrieve the device Clemont made for him, Ash made his way to the docks of Aether Paradise, only to be swiftly greeted by Serena, who was currently standing in front of the ramp leading aboard their private yacht.
"Welcome back, Master!" She said with bubbly cheer. "How was the war room meeting?"
"Well enough." Ash said, stepping onto the ramp leading up onto the enormous vessel. "Are all our preparations done on our side?"
"Yes, sir!" Serena affirmed her husband and Owner. "We salvaged Skyla's plane from the hanger wreckage and fitted it with the bomb you had Clemont build."
"Good." Ash nodded his head. "I will use the same method of attack they used on me back then. Skyla will kamikaze her plane into their command ship, but not without jumping from the cockpit. Misty can pick her up in the ocean with her Gyarados during the battle and retreat to the Hau Oli airport then."
"I heard my name?" Misty chuckled, meeting her Master face to face as he finished boarding the yacht.
She was wearing her signature blue bikini top and bottom, her slender figure begging to be fucked like the toy she was. The tomboy mermaid pressed her half naked body into her owner, begging to be claimed right there and then.
"Slow your role, my little fuck toy." Ash chuckled. "Let's meet with the others before we have our fun."
"Alright then!" Misty giggled in a slutty manner, leading her Master by one hand as her Mistress Serena led him by the other.
Making their way up to the main deck, Ash was met with the bodies of May and Dawn, both of whom were wearing a bright yellow and pink bikinis respectively. As the two rested on the soft couches of the vessel, Serena stripped off her own uniform, exposing her equally skimpy red bikini, sitting down alongside the other three slave girls.
Standing before his humble slaves, Ash decided to give a small speech.
"You ladies were the first four women I ever broke." Ash began speaking. "You were in my power from the very beginning, and I just want to thank you four for your continued slave service, even if you don't have a say in it."
"We don't mind have our free will stripped from us!" May commented giddily. "If we were free to make choices, we'd be undoubtably making tons of wrong ones!"
"May's right!" Dawn chimed in. "You breaking our will and make us your personal sex slaves was for the best. We've found our true calling as breed slaves!"
"We are forever your property!" Serena added. "And we'll be damn sure that those heathens on the outside world never take that from us!"
"You four...truly are the best." Ash said, smiling. "I think it's time I rewarded you."
"Yes!" The four women cheered, laying back further into the couch cushions, spreading their legs wide so their Master can claim their bodies for himself like so many times before.
All before Ash could claim his prize however, the physique of Lusamine descended from the ship's upper deck, closing the cabin door behind her.
"Master, I apologize for interrupting your moment of excellence, but we have confirmed reports of our enemy activity!" The blonde milf explained to her Emperor.
"How do you know this?" Ash asked his slave, disappointed that he was interrupted from his romantic moment. "Solana's information is outdated."
"Yes, it is, but Annabel informed me that she gave special instruction to Sabrina to scope out the enemies movement in Kanto." Lusamine explained. "Your slave is currently observing the massing enemy forces in Fuchsia City as we speak!"
Sensing more pressing matters needed to be tended to, Ash put his pants back on, upset and yet shocked that the Alliance had managed to organize ahead of schedule, despite his setbacks.
"Ladies, entertain yourselves." Ash commanded his four slave women. "I need to handle something first."
Following his slave up to the cabin, Ash picked up the radio Lusamine was talking to Annabel through.
"Annabel, what's going on here?" Ash demanded answers from his puppet.
"I'm sorry if you might be upset in my choice of command, my Emperor, but time is of the essence." Annabel apologized over the radio. "I'm in telepathic link with Sabrina right now. I'll tell her to link her mind to yours now."
After a moment of silence, the silky voice of Ash's psychic servant entered his mind.
"Master is just horrible!" Sabrina said in shock. "The entire enemy fleet! Is currently amassed in Fuchsia!"
"What do you see?!" Ash demanded of his servant.
"I've see several thousand soldiers enter attack vessels docked in the cove, my Great Dominator!" Sabrina reported, he Essentia Suit's visor allowing her enhanced sight and zoom in capabilities. "They've got over three dozen ships, and several hundred more soldiers continuing to board them!"
"They're looking to depart soon them..." Ash realized, his window of time dwindling. "If they leave within the hour, then they'll make it here as early as noon tomorrow!"
"Shall I disrupt their operations, my Lord?" Sabrina offered.
"No! Just get back here!" Ash ordered his slave. "We need all the time we need to prepare our defenses for an all out war!"
"Yes, my Lord!" Sabrina obeyed, cutting the psychic link.
"What do we do now, my Emperor?" Lana asked her nearby dominator from the helm of the yacht.
"We will need all the energy we can spare." Ash replied to his slave. "Lusamine, send a radio call to all of Team Rose. Have them command our people to remain vigilant and battle ready.
"Yes, my Lord." Lusamine bowed submissively, fiddling the frequency on the radio.
After docking in the port of Providence Island, Ash checked the grounds of his island. The hanger and Skyla's plane were finally repaired. The Pokémon move cannons were up to speck and a last ditch piece of tech Clemont made for Ash was placed in the center of the Villa Compound just in case.
After ensuring Nurse Joy healed and inspected all of the slave women's Pokémon as well as his own, Ash secluded himself in his quarters. After inhaling from a bottle of concentrated Sleep Powder, Ash's excitement and anxiety began to fade away. Taking one last look out his windows, out onto the starry skies of Alola, Ash laid down in his bed to rest.
As his eyes began to close, one last thought of this battles outcome left him thinking if he had the strength to fight the force of thousands. Realizing now was not the time to doubt himself, Ash shook his head. He could not fail, he must not. He was going to save the world, and he would make sure to prove that the next day. And just like that, sleep finally came to Ash, his body and mind now preparing for the moment of truth.
