A few hours after breaking his latest slaves, Ash assembled them as well as the others for an announcement. Now being his Slave Queen, Ash gave Serena permission to join him on the theater's stage, having her give another Team Rose command.
"Attention, slaves!" Serena bellowed with a commanding voice atypical of her usual self. "We have ourselves some new slave fuck toys today! I'd like all of you to say hello to Claire and Iris!"
Upon greeting their new fellow slave sisters, the crowd turned its attention back to their Queen.
"Their new positions will be as follows. Claire will be assigned to Cynthia's resource team, a team which now has its role expanded. Now, atop of resource acquisition, this team is to begin the training of our Alolan citizens! We must have every man and woman capable of defending our homeland when the enemy attacks us!"
"Yes, our Goddess!" The slaves obeyed.
"Our slave sister Iris will be put on my personal team. She shall serve as a maid to the compound, making sure our equipment, furnishings and other amenities in the Villa are kept clean and maintained." Serena added, her personal subordinates happily greeting their fellow slave to the squad.
"We must do everything in our power to ensure that this Kingdom paradise of ours doesn't fail! That goes double for our King! Am I understood?!" Serena roared out to the crowd.
"YES MISTRESS!" The entire harem said in response.
As the Team began to break off, showing their new sisters their duties in the Team, Ash approached Serena on the stage.
"You've learned and listened well to my speeches if you could so easily come up with your own commands on the spot like that." Ash said, impressed by his Queen's leadership skills.
"You're too kind, Master!" Serena giggled, receding back to her old, usual submissive self.
"I'm glad I made you my Queen, my obedient little slave!" Ash said, joyfully pulling Serena's body to him by the waist, planting a kiss on his plaything's mouth.
"Mmm, I love it when you do that!" Serena moaned slyly. "It turns me on so much when you force yourself on me too..! The other slaves think that too!"
"That's good to hear." Ash said seductively in her ear. "Oh, I want to just pin you down and ravage your lewd body right now, but we're on the clock here. Let's do what we can to prepare for the inevitable conflict."
Taking a step off the walkway and to his personal office, Serena stepped lively to keep pace with her King.
"I was thinking about your mother earlier." She began to say. "I'm sure you are upset about how things turned out with that. Is there anything I can do to help?"
Ash stopped a moment, turning to Serena.
"There's no point in pondering it any longer, I'm afraid. If these people kidnapped my mother and Oak, then they have done it for a reason. Their value as hostages is in drawing me out. They will be as patient as they need to be if they want to succeed, so it does them no good to harm my friends and family. All we can do is wait that out now." Ash said to his favorite slave, grabbing her by the rump and guiding her with him to his office.
"Who knows what those bastards are even doing anyways." He continued.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Several leading figureheads were assembling as the Rose Tower in Wyndon, Galar.
"Impressive security detail." Lance said, observing the guards patrolling the venue.
"It's all because of that damn traitor, Ash!" Bruno said, taking a step behind his comrade. "If our former Champion didn't up and become a world class fugitive, we won't have had to come all the way here for some stupid summit."
"Let's think of it for now as improving relationships with others in the world, yeah?" Lance said, keeping a mannered and distinguished tone. "Let's go."
Entering the building, a security checkpoint to the elevators stopped them.
"Sign here please." The man behind the counter told to duo.
Signing their names on the ledger, the security guard got a good look at the two people's faces.
"Ah, Champion Lance! Good to see you finally made it! It looks like you are the last ones to show for the summit. Everyone else is already on the top floor in the conference room. Please take the elevator behind me up!" The black suited man instructed.
Upon entering the elevator and riding it to the highest floor, Lance and Bruno met with a cast of individuals representing their respective Regions. Upon each regional group taking their seats at the table, Looker and Giovanni entered the room, the near entirety of the room jumping from their seats in anger.
"Looker! Care to explain why the Boss of an international criminal smuggling ring is standing beside you." Bruno shouted at the policeman.
"Please remain calm everyone." Looker assured the group, despite being as unsure of the situation as the guests were. "I shall explain all of this in full shorty. In the meantime, shall we all take our seats."
"Why of course, Looker. Don't mind if I do." Giovanni said in a mocking tone, sitting in the chair besides Looker's.
"Now before we begin, I would like to take a moment to thank Macro Cosmos for allowing us to use their tower as a place of meeting. Peony, the current chairmen of Macro Cosmos couldn't find time to meet with us today however. He's still trying to fix the mess his brother Rose created."
"Speaking of Roses, when are we going to cover the matter we're all here for?" Lucian asked.
"I'm glad you asked, Champion." Looker said. "Allow me to discuss with you the reason why Giovanni is here with us today. He has made a deal with us that as of this moment, he will support our forces with his Team Rocket manpower in exchange for pardons for every single crime he's ever committed, in addition to us overlooking any other crimes that might 'happen by chance' in the following six months."
"That's preposterous!" Caitlin said from her chair.
"Do you have any reason as to why these terms are unfair, Champion of Unova?" Giovanni asked the recently appointed champ.
"You mock my title as well? Need I remind you that I accepted to stand in as Alder's replacement per his own request. He's gotten old recently, but I digress!" Caitlin began prattling. "I'm not about to forgive or forget what you did in Unova ten years ago. Trying to control the three Forces of Nature and changing the weather of my home is not something I'll just let be."
"Miss Caitlin, I think we should leave this talk for another time. We'll be getting nowhere at this point." Alain said from his chair.
"Ah the young Champion himself wishes to get a word in?" Caitlin replied with a sneer. "You only have the position you have now simply because your predecessor got kidnapped by Ash Ketchum. And that goes double for you, Lucian."
"Looking down on your peers, Caitlin?" Looker asked the prideful woman. "Not really the best way to start a truce negotiation, is it?"
"I believe most of her pride stems from having a kush life in our Battle Resort back in Sinnoh." Lucian added back.
"What, are you mad, Lucian? Upset that I think Cynthia, a woman, is a better Champion than you could ever hope to be?" Caitlin taunted the man. "We both know I am the superior Psychic Type expert.
"ENOUGH!" Looker demanded, standing up from his seat and slamming the table. "We are not hear for your pointless bickering or your issues with who is involved in this alliance. We're joined under the one singular shared goal we have to defeat the menace Ash Ketchum once and for all!"
"Caitlin, if I must interject, the man is simply right, plain and simple." Steven Stone said calmly. "After all, everyone of our Regions has at one point lost their prominent Gym leaders, Elite Four, and even Champions to this man. Who knows, you might even be his next target."
"Hmph! He wouldn't dare mess with the likes of me!" Caitlin said with a scoff.
"Now, if we are done bickering, allow me to put forth the potential terms for this alliance." Looker said, pulling out a set of papers and passing them around the table. "As a part of our Alliance, the leading figureheads of your respective nations must organize and reform their old militaries."
"I'm sorry Looker, but not too many of us Regions have any armies anymore." Alain began to say. "In fact, most of the world demilitarized between the terrible war in Kalos three thousand years ago as well as the other known wars, like the one in unova."
"And like the battle in Kanto a few hundred years ago." Looker began to say. "I'd have loved to have my Aura Guardian partner at this assembly to tell us that tale, but I haven't seen him in a couple days now."
"Getting back to the point." Lance interjected. "I might be able to support that motion. Lieutenant Surge of Vermillion City is a military type, or so he claims to be. Perhaps he could assist us with that matter."
"We appreciate it, Lance." Looker said thankfully. "As the Champion of two united regions as well as being the closest in range of Alola, we will count on you for your manpower from Kanto and Johto."
"I may not have much to offer in the way of manpower, at least manpower outside of my company anyways." Steven Stone began to say. "But Slateport City back home is notoriously well known for ship construction. With my company and a few others to assist, I could have a fleet of warships assembled in about a months time. Problem is that I'm without the steel to manufacture the vessels."
"I think I could assist you in that regard." Lucian added. "While us Sinnoh folk aren't really known to be fighters outside of our Gym Leaders and Elite Four, we are home to Fuego Ironworks and the Oreburgh Mine. We can provide this alliance all the manufacturing it needs.
"Thank you, Lucian!" Looker said in relief. "Your assistance in the matter is greatly appreciated.
"Well, I can't provide resources, but I can provide some manpower." Caitlin said in response. "The people of Unova are a strong people. They won't be in great a number as Lance's people will be, but it should suffice."
"That's understandable." Looker added. "Given how we'll be making Kanto our staging ground for this war on Alola, it will take some time to transport your fighters to Kanto, given how large a gap between the Regions is."
"I'm not really too experienced in my position to really say what we should do, so I shall rely on my ally here." Alain said, giving the floor to his Elite Four subordinate, Wikstrom.
"Thank you, young Champion." The knight nodded his head in thanks. "While it is true that most Kalos folk are weak, we do not lack in the skill of mega evolution. I will see just how many mega stones our people can mine up for us to use in the coming fight."
"Very good. More firepower couldn't hurt, could it." Looker said, his mood improving as he saw his chances of success finally looking good again. "Leon, do you have anything to offer?"
"I'm afraid not." The man simply said.
"Really?" Looker asked the man.
"Look, I'm still all confused about this whole ordeal. I mean some things just don't make sense. I mean if Ash's original goal was just self gratifying sex, then why would he ever bother taking over a whole Region?"
"Who knows? The little bastard is probably on a power trip." Caitlin scoffed, dismissing Leon's pondering as foolishness.
"True, but to take over a Region like Alola, a Region divided into four islands. To make his claim as a ruler, he would also have to shoulder the responsibilities." Leon continued speaking, scratching his goatee in wonder. "Could it be he has a true motive behind his actions besides mere enjoyment?"
"We won't know that until we catch him." Looker said to the man. "Unfortunately, a storm season is coming to Alola soon. We need time to prepare for the actual battle, but what we need before the storms block our path is information. That is why I called upon a special person to help us out. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to address the Donphan in the room."
Upon his gesture to the end of the table, the entire group of Region figureheads turned to see a teal haired woman in a tight red and white skin suit.
"Lady and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Solana. She is a Pokemon Ranger hailing from the remote Region of Almia." Looker said, revealing the identity of the woman to the crowd. "She agreed to assist us in the special reconnaissance mission of Alola."
"Using a special one manned personal submersible, Solona here will travel to Alola underwater and under radar. From there, she will reconnoiter the islands, assessing their tech, their strength and their numbers. Before the storms begin to kick in, Solana will depart the Region and give us the intel, giving us all the time we need to prepare for our assault." Looker continued saying, laying his plan out on the table.
"This all sounds good and all, it truly does, but do you think this one woman has even the slightest chance of pulling this off, copper?" Giovanni said smugly.
"I wouldn't look down on me if I was you, scum." Solana bit back. "I recall shutting down several of your little operations even in as remote places as the Sevii Islands."
With Giovanni only chuckling in response, Solana took her leave from the table.
"I'll contact you immediately when I get back, Looker." She said, making her way to the elevator. "You'll hear from me in three days, no more than that."
"Yes, I understand." Looker nodded, knowing full well of the implication in her words.
"Now, let us flesh out the more intricate details of the Alliance." Looker said, his voice fading as the doors to the elevator closed behind Solana.
"Ash Ketchum, huh?" Solana thought to herself. "Never thought I'd see the day where I'd meet you again."
Making her way out of the Rose Tower and out of town, Solana arrived at the pier in Hulbury, where a specialized water craft custom made for her alone sat docked in the harbor.
Inserting her capture styler into the specialized key slot, the boat's engines hummed to life. Departing from the cape and setting her boat to autopilot itself to just outside of Alola's space, Solana got out of her chair, looking out onto the water, pondering what would happen next.
While all of this happened, Ash just finished another round of sex with his thralls.
"Good job ladies!" Ash told Hilda and Malva. "No why don't you give your King a lap dance?"
As Ash enjoyed the bodies of his naked and lewd slaves, he began to ponder when he would claim his next. He would soon learn however, that it would be sooner than expected.
