The next morning, Ash awoke to see his beautiful, younger step sister staring gently at him, mesmerized by the beauty she saw in him. Smiling back at her, Ash stroked the teenager's cheek with the back of his hand, a happy hum emanating from the girl who was his family.

"Morning, sleepyhead." She said in a teasing manner. "Sleep well? Serena's downstairs getting you your new attire. Wanna play around a bit until she gets here?"

"Maybe another time, sis." Ash said regretfully, always willing to go down on his sister's tight body. "We have a big event planned for today. Don't we?"

"Aww!" Lei replied, slightly dejected that her idol of a brother passed on her offer.

Knowing well enough not to protest, Lei obediently got out of bed, her nude, caramel tanned smooth in complexion as ever. Swishing her long shoulder length hair back, Lei replied to the knock at the Master bedroom door.

"Can you give these to Ash?" Serena asked her sister in law. "I need to take off now to help oversee the festivities."

"Sure thing, my Mistress!" Lei obeyed without question before waving the honey blonde woman away in an ever seductive manner.

"You really choose a beauty for a wife, didn't you, Ash?" The brunette haired teen further teased as she beckoned her lover of a brother to join her in the dressing room. "Let's get each other dressed now, hmm?"

As the brother and sister allowed one another to dress each other, Ash on Lei's public attire for her. Putting on his sisters cherry red sports bra that cut off a good deal above her stomach, Ash bit his lips in desire. This erotic rage ever further burned when he put on her tight black leggings on her, getting a good feel of her butt cheeks as he did.

"You've got such a tight, cute little ass, don't you, sis?" Ash chuckled, feeling Lei sensual body up. "I'm so glad you have such a perfect, fuckable body!"

"Oh, do I sense you getting a little horny?" Lei further teased her brother, pressing herself into his body. "That makes two of us, what with how cool you look to me in that outfit."

As a sign of status as an Emperor not afraid to get his hands dirty, willing to take to the battlefield himself, Ash did away with his tight suit, replacing it with a more regal, yet battle-ready attire. Donning a set of durable, yet flexible military fatigues, hosting a deep blue color, Ash wore a commanding cloak that veiled his entire torso down to his waist. The shroud was a deep midnight black, with the symbol of a massive sky blue Water Shuriken blazoned on his back, a fiery sphere of deep blue aura occupying the center of the emblem.

"After fighting with Kyurem, I realized wearing a stuffy two piece suit into battles makes it really hard to move, so I had Serena, Elesa and, Mom design and seam it." Ash replied. "I figured I could also use this new attire of mine to inspire the people. I want the people of my Empire to know I'm their protective God, putting my life on the line. To secure a better future with his own two hands is what a good leader does."

"And that's why I fell in love with you." Lei said proudly, kissing him on the cheek. "You have the makings of a true leader, unlike the weak Champions of most other Regions. They let criminals run around and then act shocked when their inaction leads to disaster. Anyways, we should probably go. I'll meet you at the yacht, okay doll?"

As Lei went ahead of Ash to meet the other slaves at the docks, Ash prepared to leave when all of the sudden he noticed something interesting on his desk. It was the shards of the Life Stone, the vibrant color now returned, and the purification cylinder, now done with its task, fallen over sideways.

"Hmm? When did that finish?" Ash said. "Oh well, I'll look at it when I get back."

As Ash turned to the door, however, the Stone shards seemed to leap from the table, almost as if they were following him.

"Strange." He thought to himself, perplexed at how the Life Stone, unlike the other two before it, moved entirely of its own accord, almost as if asking Ash to take the shards with him. "I guess it wouldn't hurt."

After putting the stones in his chest pocket, Ash waved this cloak around his arms once more, shrouding his torso up as he departed from the household. Grabbing his three Pokémon of choice, Ash joined his company onboard his private super yacht, the course plotted for the Aether Paradise stadium. Wasting no time in getting underway, the opening ceremonies started off with a bang, with the sports commentators hyping up the crowd.

After waving to the audience when their respective introduction was made, Ash and Lei both called out their respective Pokémon,

"Go, Incineroar!" Lei cheered happily.

"Go, Serperior!" Ash said, reaching his hand out of his clock to call out his partner.

"Begin!" The referee shouted.

"Incineroar, use Fire Punch!" Lei shouted, her Pokémon responding quickly by bathing its fist in a deluge of flames produced from its flaming belt.

"Coil, Serperior!" Ash commanded, his own Pokémon curling her body up to mitigate the damage as well as boost its own.

As the Fire Type move connected, Serperior was pushed back a fair bit, the move still doing a good deal of damage.

"Our turn now!" Ash smiled charismatically. "Serperior, use Hidden Power!"

Forming a sphere of blue energy in her mouth, Serperior fired the orb of power imbued with the ability to inflict super effective water type damage to its foe. As the orb sailed across the battlefield, Lei launched a counter attack.

"Incineroar, Revenge!" Lei commanded, her Pokémon diving in to take the blow head on.

Suffering from the damage, yet still conscious, Incineroar lunged at his foe, his body glowing a deep crimson red. Taking Serperior by the throat, the Fire Type slammed the serpent into the ground, dealing twice as much damage with his attack from taking the Grass Type's own. Just like that, Serperior was unable to battle, leaving the Wrestling Pokémon the winner. As the crowd cheered for the two contestants, Ash recalled his unconscious Pokémon, smiling at his sister's growth as a trainer in such a short span of time.

"Not bad, sis!" He said proudly. "But how will you deal with this one?"

Calling out his trusty Gliscor, Ash looked in confidence as Lei pondered he move.

"Return!" She shouted, calling back her Pokémon. "Go Melmetal!"

As the Steel Type emerged from the capsule, its ginormous metal fists clanged together, sparked flying from the impact. Melketal was more than ready to go.

"Dive in Gliscor, and use Bulldoze!" Ash called, his Ground and Flying type descending to the ground to launch its pincers into the earth.

As the battle above them raged above, Clemont and Cerise continued their study of Kyurem's body, only to find something disturbing.

"This is most peculiar." Cerise noted, calling the blonde haired man over to his computer monitor. "A further bioscan picked up this device in Kyurem's brain stem. It's like some sort of signal receiver, except it doesn't seem to receive commands like the other one we found in the brain itself."

"It looks like this device has been storing up power, using Kyurem's own generated thermal and electric presence within." Clemont noted. "The pieces of power still in its body from when Reshiram and Zekrom existed within it. But why is this device in there? What is its function?"

As the scientific process was occurring, somewhere several miles away from Alola' Ocean territory was a familiar stealth airship, its crew preparing to hatch their next scheme.

"Is the Deep Range Transmitter operational, grunt?" Archer asked his subordinate.

"Yes sir, its range is locked onto Kyurem and is now active for transmitting your commands." The underling replied.

"Very good. Men, we will keep our distance to avoid detection." Archer commanded. "I will give the command to begin the operation."

"Yes sir!" The grunts shouted back.

"Giga Impact!" Ash shouted to an exhausted Gliscor.

"Double Iron Bash!" Lei ordered to a equally as tired Melmetal.

As Gliscor dived down onto Melmetal from above, the two attacked connected, the two of them being knocked out simultaneously.

As the crowd cheered and waved, Ash was down to one Pokémon, while Lei had her Incineroar and Lycanroc still on standby.

"I can't believe how far you've progressed in such a short time with me training you." Ash said, genuinely shocked at Lei's battle prowess. "A prodigy like you...There's no better way to prove you are my sister!"

"Ever since I was young, I watch videos taken of you from around the world." Lei replied. "Ever since I was young, I always wanted to stand alongside you, be as strong as you!"

"And now you will face one of my strongest Pokémon." Ash said, retrieving his Mega Glove from underneath his cloak, placing it on his left hand.

"That's!" Korrina observed from her seat in the stands, smiling after recognizing the gift she gave her Master many years ago.

"Come, Lucario!" Ash said, calling his Aura Pokémon to the field, the bipedal Pokémon looking at his opponent with determination that equaled that of his trainer's.

"Go, Incineroar!" Lei said, calling out her weakened Fire Type.

Pressing his hand to his Keystone, Ash proceeded to Mega Evolve his Lucario. However, this proved to be what Archer counted on. Sensing the battle taking place above it, the once completely rigid and lifeless Kyurem began to stir, shaking violently in its restraints.

"What's happening?!" Clemont asked in a panic while Cerise tried to act quickly by releasing a sedative gas into the testing chamber.

"It seems a massive surge of energy has been picked up by Kyurem, sir." A grunt on the airship, said, the brain augment in Kyurem's head sensing signals to the vehicle.

"Execute the plan." Archer ordered. "Switch it to Black Mode."

As commands were transmitted from the ship, Kyurem's body began to glow, sparks rippling through both its body and the air around it. It's once tiny stump arms became enlarged, its once hunched body now becoming significantly more upright. As the physiology changed, the restraints around the newly transformed Black Kyurem began to break apart. The dragon let out a furious roar, jumping through the ceiling in a straight beeline for Ash.

As the battle above reached its climax, Ash went to call for an attack, only to stop and realized he sensed a large source of malice came from beneath him. Jumping into the air with his supernatural powers, Ash narrowly missed Black Kyurem chomping down on his legs. However, Ash did not calculate for the change in its body.

With no time wasted, Black Kyurem snatched Ash out of the air, grabbing him firmly as everyone else became panicked and shocked by the sudden appearance of a Pokémon was paraded around as one that was beaten. Looking down at the ground, Ash noticed Lucario charging the great beast, Bone Rush staff in hand. Kyurem saw the enclosing Pokémon jump into the air, poised to strike the hand holding Ash.

Using the camera housed in his Legendary puppet's eye, Archer gave the command to swat Lucario away with the very hand it clenched Ash in.

"As they say in Kalos, Bon Voyage, you insignificant little welp!" Archer said to himself in a smug pride, pressing the center-most button on his computer console.

Just then, a massive tear in reality behind Black Kyurem, an Ultra Wormhole opened up from the point of Black Kyurem's neck, causing the beast to explode from the sheer amount of energy put out. Ash could only help but shield himself from the explosion with an Aura barrier, helplessly being sucked in by the wormhole.

"Master!!" Ash's slaves screamed out, with Lei rushing to follow, but before she could, the portal closed up, leaving the slaves and Aether Foundation members scrambling to mitigate any further damage to the artificial island.

Back on the airship miles away, the camera feed from Kyurem cut off the moment after Ash fell into the wormhole, the Legendary Pokémon dying to the massive internal explosion shortly after.

"We did it sir!" A grunt cheered arrogantly.

"With what he's displayed to us so far, he may be able to come back from the other world we sent him to." Archer said cautiously. "But this buys out Lord time in his Dark Matter transformation. And who knows, maybe the other one we sent there might distract him further, if what he had to say about that self proclaimed 'God' is truly how he felt."

"Ugh!" Ash grunted, releasing his aura barrier after realizing he came out the other end of the wormhole.

Dusting himself off, Ash got off the ground to get a better look at his surroundings. It was a endless field of plains and icy forests, with a massive mountain jutting up to the heavens in the distance.

"Where...am I?" Ash asked aloud.

Sensing his surroundings, he could no longer sense any of his slaves, or even his Lucario, its Keystone's light dying down from the severed connection. Even though he couldn't sense any of his slaves, he detected a massive amount of Aura all around. Realizing his pocket all of the sudden grew warm, Ash pulled out the shards of the Life Stone, their light glowing even more brilliant than before.

"Seems there is quite a spiritual air to this place." He said to himself. "But never mind that, I need to get back and see if the girls are-hmm?!"

His train of thought was cut off completely by a Pokémon jumping out from the brush.

"A Cinderace?" Ash noted, unfazed by the fact the Fire Type began to charge at him.

"Ace!" The Pokémon shouted, sending a flying Blaze Kick directly towards Ash.

Pulling his arm from underneath his cloak, Ash caught the Pokémon's attack with his bare hand, using his body's ability to copy abilities to mimic the Flash Fire ability, absorbing the flames, and the promptly throwing the Cinderace to the ground, forming a blueish white blade in his hand. Keeping the Fire type pinned under his foot and a blade to his face, Ash looked down the Pokémon, only for a change in his expression.

"Wait, you're?!" Ash said, recognizing the Pokémon fully.

"It seems I have company now!" Someone familiar called from over the crest of the hill behind Ash.

Turning to look at the source of the voice, Ash found it to come from none other than his old friend and research assistant, Go.

"It's been a while, hasn't it, Ash?" He spoke with a rather cold voice. "I suppose the two of us should catch up."
