It was yet another few days since Ash captured his last slave. With the assistance of Malva's genius on engineering, Ash has commanded his slaves to acquire materials from the outside world to build their new tools for assertion.

With the help of many slave girls and their Pokémon, the construction of Ash's secret weapon to fight back against his adversaries would soon reach completion. However, grander things were afoot, for as he was relaxing in his grand Villa De Sol, he had the voice of Riley enter his head once more.

"Ash, it's me." He simply said. "How've you been this last week or so? It's been a while since we last talked."

"Let's skip the condescending formalities, Riley." Ash said with feigned cooperation. "Why are you calling me?"

"I've tracked down one of the other Stones!" Riley said happily. "The only problem is that since I already stole one, Team Rocket isn't about to let another one be taken out of their hands. I'll need your help."

"What do you want me to do?" Ash asked the man.

"I could use some back up on the raid here. I don't know where you might be right now, but meet me at the Cerulean Cave as soon as you can." Riley said.

Ash sensed there was something wrong with what Riley said there. He knew that Riley knew his former residence in Kanto. If he had already seen that the mansion was abandoned, he could be trying to prod Ash for his new home base.

Feeling that his former friend was trying to gain leverage over him in some capacity, Ash thought up a plan to deceive the Aura Guardian in order to buy himself some time.

"Don't worry, I'm actually in Kanto right now." Ash lied. "I'll see you in a couple hours."

"Very good." Riley said, cutting off their communication.

Frustrated at the wall Ash was finding himself slowly backed into, Ash walked down to the slave acquisitions office, knocking on the door.

"Come in!" Annabel's voice called out beyond the door.

Upon stepping into the room, Ash's presence caused his slave to jump from her seat, ceasing her work immediately to salute and bow to her Majesty.

"Hello, my Lord. What can your devout sex slave do for you today?" The violet haired women asked her Usurper.

"There is about the be a major event happening soon, and I want to be prepared for it as much as I can." Ash told her. "Has Serena told you yet about the progress on Malva's special Pokeball transfer device?"

"Yes actually." Annabel replied happily. "The transfer service that allows the untracked Pokeball transfer from any lab or Pokémon Center around the world completed its construction yesterday."

"Good. I think it's about time I brought my Pokémon over from Professor Oak's lab." Ash said. "Command Sabrina to our location. I need her to teleport me to Pallet Town at once."

"Yes sir!" Annabel replies, her hand drawn to her radio for the summons.

"You called, Master?" Sabrina asked her Dominator, walking through the office door a few minutes later.

"I need you to give me an express trip to Kanto with your Teleportation powers." Ash order his slave. "I'm afraid time is not on my side here, so I cannot afford a leisurely plane ride."

"I exist to serve your every need." Sabrina said with a smile. "You needn't say more."

"Be sure to tell the other slaves that the completion of our Project War Thunder is to be completed on time. Divert the rest of your team to assist in the construction efforts as soon as they get back from breaking a Nurse Joy from the mainland." Ash ordered his harem's Head Mistress.

"Oh and take this." Ash said, placing the Mind Stone's box down onto his servants desk. "I'm not gonna risk bringing that with me."

"Yes sir." Annabel obeyed with a bow of submission, taking the box into her hand.

Feeling the soft touch of his slave's hand on his shoulder, the two were gone in a flash, instantly transported to the front doors of Professor Oak's Lab.

As this happened, back at home, Korrina and Alexa just entered the empty lobby of the Pokemon Center on Mele Mele island, a very bored nurse Joy attending the counter.

"Hey there nurse Joy!" Korrina called out in her typical bubbly attitude.

"Hmm?" Nurse Joy replied in a bored voice, taking her face out of her book. "Yes, how can I help you?"

"I was just hoping you could have a look at my Pokémon." Korrina said, gesturing to the ball in her hands.

"Yeah, sure why not?" Nurse Joy replied sarcastically, setting down her reading material.

She was initially bored at first, but upon seeing the interesting attire the duo were wearing, she began to act more lively. She didn't really care if they were gonna cause trouble. She just simply wanted to have some form of entertainment.

Upon calling out the Pokémon, Joy looked over the counter and upon a very healthy Alakazam. Unaware of its purposes, Nurse Joy kept inspecting the Pokémon.

"So, what seems to be the problem?" Joy asked the duo.

"Oh, the problem is that you haven't been broken into being our slave sister yet." Alexa teased. "Alakazam, use use Confusion."

"Kazam!" The Phychic Pokémon obeyed, it's spoons bending from its psychic powers.

As the attack assaulted the mind of the nurse, her mind went blank, her head in a fog, desperate for guidence.

"What the...where am I..?" She asked distantly.

"We really got to thank Sabrina for letting us borrow her Pokémon for this job." Korrina said happily, returning the Pokémon to its ball.

"Who are you people..? Where am I..?" Joy continued to ask, her brain in a fog.

"Why, were friends." Korrina said, leaping over the counter, massaging the bountiful breasts of the helpless nurse.

"We're here to take you home." Alexa said, also jumping over the counter, taking one of the nurse's hands while Korrina took the other in her own.

"Home..? Yeah... let's go home..." Joy replied absently, her mind happy that she was going home.

However, the home she and the other two had in mind were completely different. Leading the helpless women out the back door and down the the beach, being as discreet about their kidnapping as possible, the two met with Lana, who allowed the use of her fishing boat as a means of transport to the islands.

Gesturing the still dazed Joy onto the water craft, the three slave sisters got in, there home but just a few minutes away. Upon returning to the island, they were greeted by Annabel at the docks.

"Good, you're back, slaves." Annabel said, noticing the still helpless form of Joy in the boat. "And with a prize catch as well. Leave her to me. I need you two and Lana to help in the construction of our Lord's secret weapon. That's an order!"

"Yes Head Mistress!" All three Team Rose slave girls said happily, breaking out into a jog over to the airfield.

"Now, how's about we break you into our Master's little obedient sex toy, destined to serve him forever?" Annabel asked the defenseless nurse.

"Sex toy..? Master..? That sounds nice..." she replied, her mind still working through the confusion.

"Yes, it does sound nice, doesn't it? Just come with me then, and I'll show you just how amazing it feels to be a slave." Annabel said with a sultry voice in Joy's ear, guiding the pink haired woman up to her private office.

While this was occurring on Providence, Ash was meeting once again with Professor Oak.

"It truly was great talking to you again, Professor, but I have to get to my Pokémon now. Is it okay if I use your ball transfer device?" Ash asked the elderly scientist.

"By all means, my boy!" Oak said happily. "Oh and by the way, several of your Pokémon have been practically dying to see you. Why don't you go and say hello to them all before you put any of them in their Pokeballs?"

"Thank you Professor, I will." Ash said contently.

As he walked out to the backyard, he looked out the front window of the lab toward Sabrina, who was spying through the glass, ensuring the Professor didn't see her.

Upon Samuel Oak heading up to his office on the other floor, Sabrina took action, quietly slipping into the building and to the transfer device. Taking out a specially made flash drive from her bosom, Sabrina plugged it into a port, allowing a link to be established between it and the transfer device back on Providence.

Upon seeing his slave's success, with but a nod to command her, Ash ordered her to return home. Seeing his sex slave vanish in a blink of an eye, Ash stepped out onto the deck of the ranch's backyard, cupping his mouth with his lips.

"Hey! Everyone! It's me!" Ash shouted out over the field. "I'm back!"

Just a few moments after his shout was belted over the lands, a horde of Pokémon emerged from the trees in the distance. It was all of Ash's old Pokémon friends, barring the Gengar Ash still had back on the island.

"Pikachu, Charizard, everyone!" Ash said, running out to the field to meet his companions of old.

"Pika-pi!" Pikachu said in delight, jumping into the welcoming arms of his trainer.

"Sorry I've been gone for so long, guys." Ash said, petting his Electric Mouse Pokémon. "A lot of stuff has happened over the last month or so here, but I have us a new home."

As the group of Pokémon cheered in excitement, Ash then placed Pikachu back up on his shoulders.

"I'm gonna have to put you guys in your pokeballs though. I also have some business to tend to before I go back home myself, but I'll be there to see you again soon." He concluded.

As much as he wanted to spend time with his partners, he had grander things to tend to. Keeping his trusty Pikachu by his side, due to his distaste for residing in its ball, as well as his Lucario and Dragonite, Ash put the rest of his friends into their balls, sending them through the transfer device over to their new home.

After seeing his trainer unplugging the special drive and pocketing it, Pikachu looked at his friend in confusion.

"Don't worry, buddy. It'll be clear to you soon." Ash said, promising to fully explain his new position soon enough.

After saying goodbye the the Professor, Ash called out his Dragonite, hoping aboard and telling it to fly to Cerulean City. As he took flight however, Ash noticed a pair of black vans parked outside the laboratory. Flying further though Pallet Town, Ash notice yet another fleet of vehicles parked outside his former mansion.

Seeing several shady figures in suits storm the building, Ash began to wonder what was going on. Upon his attempt at getting a closer look at the vehicles, despite being so high up in the air, Ash saw the faint sign of a police emblem.

It was Interpol! They had finally figured Ash out again, however far quicker than Ash had expected them to, since the only people he knew were investigating him were brainwashed to believe he was innocent.

"Damn it! How did they get so organized quickly too?!" Ash said, biting his thumb nervously. "How did they get the authority to raid my home?!"

Looking down as the police began smashing windows and breaking down doors with their specially trained Pokémon Team, Ash turned his attention to meeting Riley.

It didn't take long at all for Dragonite to bring Ash to his destination. Allowing his Dragon Type to land him by the cave, Ash recalled his Pokémon, leaving only Pikachu out, resting on his shoulder like always.

"It's so good to finally see you in person again after so long, Ash!" Riley said, greeting him with an expression Ash saw as condescending.

"So what are we doing here, Riley? Ash asked his former friend bluntly.

"We're here to go after the Vigor Stone, of course." Riley said, his finger pointing into the dark entrance of the cave. "My intel has led me to believe its being housed in a secret lab somewhere in the depths of this cave system."

"Do you have any source of light? It's kinda dark in there." Ash said, the pitch black cave being an absolute obstacle.

"Why would the likes of us worry about light? We shall use our Aura abilities to guild us through the darkness. Remember what I taught you with the blindfolds?" Riley asked, the memories of their time training coming back to Ash.

"Yeah. Alright. Let's go." Ash said bluntly.

"After you." Riley said, gesturing the younger man to step in first.

"You're the one who scouted this place out. Shouldn't you lead us to our destination?" Ash asked the man.

Several moments of tense silence were shared between the two, each Aura user staring each other dead in the eyes. Pikachu sat on Ash's shoulder in continued confusion. Completely unaware of the source of their tenacity, Pikachu took his tiny little arms, waving it in front of Ash's face to try and break off the eye contact.

The little electric rodent's attempt did the trick, Ash, broke his sight from Riley, petting Pikachu with a smile.

"Fighting gets us nowhere right now. We'll only be wasting time with this little game." Riley admitted, finally caving into his former pupil's request. "Fine, I'll show us the way."

Beckoning the two inside after him, Riley and Ash used their sixth senses to help guide them through the caverns. After taking a few turns and inclines, the two arrived at a giant room.

It's was a giant, circular cavern, with a caved into roof to allow for sunlight to flood it. Following Riley to the center of the room where the sun shined bright, Riley stopped the group.

"This seriously can't be the place where the lab is." Ash said in disbelief. "Do you realize how stupid of a spot this is to have a base built? Do you really take me for some kind of imbecile, Riley?"

After he noticed his former pupil drop any and all forms of hospitality, Riley, turned to face him.

"So you figured out, huh?" He said, forming an Aura Sphere in his hands, shooting it up through the open cave ceiling.

Upon the sign being fired, several police in combat gear repelled from the room, stun batons, Guns and Pokémon pulled out all at once, surrounding the duo.

"Ever since our last conversation, I lost faith in your abilities, Ash." Riley whispered into his ear so that the police didn't hear. "Now you've forced my hand."

Stepping away from the younger man and turning to the cops, Riley spoke out a decree.

"Policemen, I asked for your cooperation on this matter so that I may retrieve the property this man stole from me! Allow to to retrieve the artifact from him once you've apprehended him!" He shouted through the room.

"What?! Stole?! You bastard, you gave the Stone to me!" Ash yelled at him.

"And now he attempts to cover up his own lies, now that he's been caught red handed!" Riley said around the room condescendingly.

"You see, Ash. The police and I collaborated together for many reasons. For one, I provided them intel on the Stone you stole from me." Riley said, lying through his teeth.

"I also told them that I would act as bait to draw you out. I told them how you were a former pupil of mine, and such a disappointing one at that. With the promise of more power given to you on a silver platter, I just knew you'd take the bait." He continued.

"There never was a secret lab here then?" Ash asked him, his guard up, with Pikachu jumping off his shoulder, lightning coursing along his body in self defense.

"Oh, there was a lab here studying the Vigor Stone. The police just so happened to raid the lab just a few days prior. That's when I made contact with them and told them all I know about your little slave harem." Riley continued, pulling out a box identical to the one that contained Ash's Mind Stone, revealing the rainbow colored stone inside.

"I mean, could you just imagine what in-humane conditions he puts his kidnapped women in?" He asked the cop next to him, leaning on his shoulder, twirling the Vigor Stone in his hands with a smug smile across his face.

"I don't know where you hid away to, but it's only a matter of time before we find you. Isn't that right, Looker?" Riley asked the police man he was leaned up against.

"Looker?!" Ash asked in horror.

As the policeman took off his helmet, he revealed himself to truly be none other than Looker.

"I never would have believed it had I not seen you in person, Ash." Looker said, his pistol still trained on Ash. "How could you stoop so low? Slavery? Theft? Even making it so Annabel betrayed us!"

Taking a moment to grieve over how his police partner had betrayed her friends, Looked focused back on Ash.

"Back before I had to leave the Ball you attended, I was already investigating you with Annabel. She seemed in complete control of her mind, and yet I suspected she might have been allied with you. I just didn't want to believe it to be true." He said, tears in his eyes.

"Looker..." Ash said sadly, hurt that one of his friends felt this way about him.

"Don't you give me that!" Looker snapped at him. "You're a criminal now, and we're taking you in! Now, just come quietly. I really don't want to hurt you."

"I don't want to hurt you either, Looker." Ash said, pulling his hands up slowly as every cop in the room gripped their weapons even tighter. "But I cant allow you to take me in."

"Then I'm sorry to do this." Looker said with pain in his voice.

Ash's eyes widened as he saw Looker turn to all of his men, nodding his head to them. Quickly thinking, Ash put up a barrier with his Aura abilities, protecting his partner and himself from several shots the police fired off, the force of the impact absorbed by the shield, the bullets falling harmlessly onto the cave floor.

As the sustained fire of bullets continued smashing against the barrier, Ash's hands occupied, Ash called out to Pikachu.

"Pikachu! Get Lucario out of his ball for me!" Ash begged his friend, his ability to sustain the shield fading.

"Pika!" His friend cried in response, jumping up onto Ash's suit.

Upon pressing the ball's button, Lucario emerged from within. Seeing his trainer struggling with the barrier, Lucario added his Aura to it, strengthening the barrier. As Lucario set up its own protective aura barrier, Ash broke off from the shield, taking dragonite's ball out.

"Lucario when I say 'now', drop the shield." Ash commanded his Pokémon.

Nodding in response, Lucario waited for his moment. Calling out his Dragonite now, the barrier was beginning to become cramped. Sensing a stop of fire from the police, the group reloading their weapons and their Pokémon ceasing their own attacks, Ash saw the perfect moment.

"Now! Dragonite use Hyper Beam!" Ash cried out, his Lucario Dropping the shield as his Dragon Type Pokémon opened its mouth, a beam of violent, destructive energy being fired out.

As the beam of red hot energy spun around the room, the cops diving to take cover while their Pokémon were caught in the attack, Ash recalled Lucario to its ball, he and Pikachu hoping onto Dragonite. As the three flew out through the hole in the roof, Looker radioed for backup to pursue.

As Dragonite flew away, a pair of police helicopters began tailing them.

"There's no way we can allow them to follow us!" Ash said over the wind. "Take out those choppers with Thunderbolt, Pikachu!"

"Pikachu!" The Pokémon cried out, bolts of lightning fired with extreme accuracy at the helicopters, their back tail rotor blades destroyed by the attack.

As the helicopters prepared for crash landing in the Cerulean river, Ash asked his Dragonite to just fly back to Alola, knowing the Dragon Type was capable of long distance travel.

While Ash retreated back home, Looker threw his helmet to the ground in frustration. Riley meanwhile, while he was upset he wasn't able to retrieve the Mind Stone in that moment, he knew that Ash wouldn't have even brought it in the first place.

"Don't worry, detective." Riley said to the defeated man beside him. "Ash has no choice but to retreat to wherever he may find himself safe. He may think he's in danger and act out of panic. That's when we'll find him, and bring him to justice."

After a long night of flight, Ash returned home to Providence, his slaves happily enjoying their dinner. Upon entering their sight, the entire group rose from their seats to bow in submission.

"Welcome home Master!" They said in unison, with Ash noticing that a now enslaved Joy now accompanied the group, her mind broken by Annabel to serve his every whim.

"How is our Project War Thunder coming along?" He asked the slaves.

"It goes well, Master, but we still need just a little more time to work out the flaws." Cynthia said.

"I'm afraid time isn't on our side here, ladies. The police could role over this island any moment!" Ash said in a panic. "I may have enslaved some of the strongest women the world, but none of us will be able to prevent the entire Interpol police form from invading my paradise!"

Just as Ash said this, a plan came to mind. If he was to ensure no outsiders ever set foot in Alola outside of his slaves ever again, perhaps he could buy the time he needed to prepare for inevitable invasion.

"I think it's about time we expanded passed our island, wouldn't you say ladies?" Ash asked the group.

"What do you mean by that, Master?" Serena asked her great Subjugator.

"I'm saying I think it's time to become a King." He said confidently.

Author's note: hello once again dear readers. I hope you enjoyed this latest installment to the plot of the story. While there was no smut going on, Riley's plot to remove Ash from his plans of an Aura Guardian army have now been laid in place.

Ash's new goal to to now make himself a king. And king of what you may ask? Well, you will all soon find out in the next chapter.

I also added the concept of guns back into Pokémon for the sake of stakes in this fanfiction. While we haven't seen a gun in the anime for many years now, I figured it would make sense for police to have them. I do hope you all enjoy the idea, for more action scenes will comes.

It's also come to my attention that some of you have said you have sent PM's to me, and yet I haven't noticed them. If you wish to communicate with me, the only way I can receive private messages is through your use in the fanfiction app you can download, rather than the website's version.

I'm afraid there's no other method for me to read your messages otherwise, at least from the fanfiction side. If you wish to contact me through other means, I've put the @ for my twitter account in my profile description, should that interest any of you.

If you wish to talk with me in any ways, I suggest using either of those two methods, otherwise I won't be able to read your messages. In any event, I hope you all will enjoy this installment to the hypno harem, and I hope to hear from you all in the reviews soon!
