Before we begin this next chapter, I need to add on something to Xedrek's Nightmare Realm Keyblade.
Attack Power: +6
Magic Power: +7
I forgot to add that part. Anyway, on with the chapter.
As the sun began to rise, Ash was the first to wake up. He looked down at the beautiful sleeping kitty Faunus snuggling him. He smiled as he gently rubbed her arm. She slowly woke up.
"Morning my handsome knight." Blake whispered.
"Morning my beautiful kitty." Ash whispered before kissing her forehead. They adjusted so they can sit up and leaned on the back of the bed. Ash only had his entire upper torso exposed while Blake had her bra, her shorts and her stockings on.
"Yesterday was the best day ever Ash. You are a thousand times better than my ex." Blake said as she scooted closer to him, closing the gap.
"Let me guess…Adam." Ash answered. She nodded. "He was a fool. Breaking up with a beautiful Faunus like you? What a shame." He said.
Blake then got an idea. She decided to take her bow off and looked towards him.
"Would you like to scratch them?" Blake asked, stunning Ash a bit.
"Blake…are you sure? Remember what happened the last time I did?" He asked.
"Yeah. It was because I wasn't expecting it. Please?" She asked as she leaned her head towards him a bit. He smiled and nodded. He slowly raised a hand towards her cat ears. As he was about an inch close, he stopped.
"I…I don't think I can do it. Isn't this kinda racist?" Ash asked.
"Not unless if the Faunus says that it's okay. And I'm saying that it's okay." Blake said. Ash then moved his hand closer and soon enough, his finger met her ear. He slowly started scratching her left ear. Blake began to breathe a bit heavy and she slightly moaned.
"Am I hurting you?" He asked as he quickly pulled back.
"No. It just feels so good. A cat loves it the most when one scratches the ears." Blake said. Ash then went on to scratch the other ear, and she moaned a bit from it.
Ash decided to try something. He stopped scratching it and he gently kissed the outside edge of the ear, causing her to gasp and moan louder.
"Ash…" Blake spoke loudly before hugged him and rubbed her face into his and purred.
After about a few minutes, they decided that it was time to get up. As Ash's feet hit the floor, he felt something different.
"What the?" Ash said as he and Blake looked down. They saw the same silver Dust from the day after the dance all around the bed. Ash noticed that this was more than from the night he and Yang spent the night here after the dance.
"Isn't that the same Rate T Dust from before?" Blake asked as she scooped a bit up and looked at it.
"Xedrek…" Ash realized what happened.
"Maybe that was what that sound was from last night. But either way, we all know that it's too dangerous." Blake said.
"I agree. Come on; let's get ready for the day." Ash said as they put their shirts back on.
"I'll see you at breakfast." Blake said before she kissed him passionately. As she left while carrying her boots, Ash just looked towards the dust that lay scattered around the bed.
"Xedrek, I understand what you're doing. You have nothing to worry about. I know our limits." Ash said out loud.
About a half an hour later, we began making his way towards the mess hall for breakfast. His mind was so glued onto yesterday that he wasn't paying attention to who was sneaking up on him. Suddenly, a déjà vu moment occurred as Ash felt someone jumped onto his back for a piggy back ride.
"Velvet?" Ash asked while staggering a bit.
"Sure is Ashy. Let's go to breakfast." She said as she slid off of him and held his hand.
Along the way, Ash told her about his and Blake's date yesterday. She was so happy for him that he finally reunited with his mother.
"One of these days, I should introduce you to my mother. She is very caring, and when she hears on how much you protected me, she will definitely like you more." She said.
"Does she know about you and me?" He asked. She nodded. "And what of the others?" He asked once again.
"Not yet. Why keep it a secret Ash?" She asked.
"Isn't it kinda weird and bad that I have eight beautiful girls dating me?" He asked. She quickly hugged his arm.
"Weird maybe, but nothing bad about it. Here in the four kingdoms, you can wed more than one girl." Velvet said. Ash was stunned to hear this. "The reason you think it's like this is because these are the only regions on the planet that legalize weddings like these." She continued.
"I…never knew that. For someone that lived in Kanto and been to many different regions, I thought I seen it all." Ash said.
They continued to chat when they arrived at the mess hall. Coco was waiting for them. As they sat down, Coco wrapped her arms around his chest.
"Morning champ." She said.
"Morning sweetie." Ash said as he held her.
"So Ash, I was thinking. I think we should have our first date today." Coco said. Ash pondered for a few seconds.
"Sure. Is there somewhere you always wanted to go?" He asked her. She pulled out her scroll and she showed him a park that Ash was familiar with. "The National Park in Johto?" He asked.
"Yep. I've been to a few parks, but I've never been to this one." She said.
"I've heard a lot of awesome things about the National Park. Like the Bug Catching Contest, the amazing views, everything." Velvet said.
"I've been there before and I participated in the Bug Catching Contest myself. I won first place with a Sun Stone being the grand prize." Ash said.
"Lucky! I'm missing a Sun Stone for my collection!" Coco whined a bit. Ash pondered for a moment, thinking if he still had it somewhere.
"I might still have it somewhere, assuming that the traitors didn't take it from me that is." Ash said. Coco gasped a bit.
"If you still have it, may I have it?" She asked.
"Sure thing. I really have no need for it because I have no Pokemon that evolve with it after all." Ash said. She squealed a bit and kissed him hard on the cheek.
"You're the best." She said happily as she hugged him tight.
"How about you Velvet? Anywhere you always wanted to go?" Ash asked as he looked towards the bunny Faunus.
"Well…there is one place. But…I don't know how people will react to what I am." She said as she became nervous. Ash understood where she was going. "I do want to go to Lavaridge Town to take a dip in their hot spring." She continued.
Ash was then having a flashback on how extremely inviting and comforting the springs were back at Lavaridge Town. The only real downside was that he was with a few of the traitors, leaving Ash to clench his fist a bit. Velvet noticed quickly and held it.
"Ash…?" Velvet asked with worry.
"Just a flashback to when I was there with a few of the traitors." He said as her hold on him was very comforting.
"Well champ, you best get ready. The sooner we leave, the better we can spend more time together." She said.
"Hold on. If we leave now, it will be at the dead of night there since both Kanto and Johto are literally on the other side of the planet." Ash informed them.
"What about Hoenn?" Velvet asked. Ash thought for a moment.
"I think by this hour, it should be about the time in the early afternoon." Ash said.
Suddenly, Coco got the perfect idea.
"Let's all go together. First to Lavaridge Town and then to the National Park. It's perfect." Coco said.
"I agree!" Velvet yelled.
"Alrighty. But first…I think we should eat first." Ash said as his stomach growled with hunger. The fashionista and the Faunus chuckled at the embarrassment.
Some hours later
Ash was in his room getting changed. He decided to stick with his dark coat and his Keyblade Pauldron. He put on a backpack with a a swimsuit for the spring at Lavaridge Town. Pikachu sat on his shoulder, and Ash has chosen a few Pokemon to take with him just in case something happens. He began to assume that since most of the dates he went on with Team RWBY and with Emerald had some need for combat, he can never be too careful for what would happen with Coco and Velvet.
The door knocked. He opened the door and Velvet and Coco were standing there.
Velvet, while holding a bag for her weapon, decided to go for a bit of a different look, while Coco remained in her usual clothing and holding her handbag. Velvet, on the other hand, wore a brown t-shirt that showed her belly. She wore blue shorts that stretched down to her thighs. She wore long white socks that went just above her knees and wore brown heels. They both had two Ultra balls attached to their belts.
"Looking good ladies." Ash said.
"Right back at you. You know, I do love a guy who has a dark side." Coco said in a bit of a seductive voice.
"Hey Pikachu!" Velvet said as she scratched his chin.
"Chaa!" Pikachu was enjoying the attention. He decided to jump onto her shoulder and sat there, startling her a bit.
"It's alright. You get used to it." Ash said as she adjusted a bit.
"Shall we get going?" Coco asked as she gotten closer to him. He nodded before summoning Divine Elemental. He aimed it at a wall and a portal formed.
"ASH! WAIT!" Blake's voice shouted as she and Team RWBY ran towards them. Ash turned around, only to fall backwards as Blake jumped onto him and hugged him. The other girls smiled while shaking their heads a bit. "Where are you going?" Blake whispered.
"I'm going on a date with Coco and Velvet. Don't worry Kitty. We'll be back later on." Ash said as he returned the hug. Blake pulled back a bit with a sad look.
"I'm gonna miss you." She said. Ever since their date yesterday, she became even more attached to Ash. So much so that she sometimes fear of what could happen to him if she wasn't there.
"You got nothing to worry about." Ash said. They shared a kiss before they got up.
"And I thought I was protective of him." Yang whispered to Coco. She nodded as Blake gripped his arm.
"I never seen her more attached to him like this, Weiss. Wonder what happened." Ruby said.
"Her date from yesterday Ruby. Her date from yesterday." Weiss said.
As Ash, Coco and Velvet began to walk towards the portal, Blake still hung on to him.
"Ash…you come back to me okay?" She begged. Ash smiled and used his free hand and scratched the back of her bow, close to her ear.
"Don't worry. We'll be back later tonight." Ash said. Blake then yanked him and kissed him.
When they finally broke apart, Ash pulled away from her. Coco then pulled on his arm and she dragged him to the portal.
"Come on champ. It's our turn to have a day with you." Coco demanded.
"We're going, we're going." Ash said. The rest of Team RWBY kissed him before they went into the portal.
Just south of a volcano, a portal opened up and Ash, Coco and Velvet walked out and looked around.
"By the looks of this, we are just nearby the entrance of Lavaridge." Ash said as he recognized the pathway.
"Then we got no time to waste, let's go!" Velvet said with excitement. They began making their way towards the town. Soon enough, they arrived.
"Ah, not much has changed." Ash said as they looked around. Velvet held his hand tight as she can tell that the spring was nearby.
"HOT HOT HOT!" A familiar voice shouted as they spotted a red haired girl while her jacket was caught on fire. It was Flannery, the gym leader. She hasn't' changed one bit. Ash summoned Oathkeeper and aimed it at her.
"BLIZZAGA!" Ash shouted as a powerful ice attack struck Flannery. The attack collided and not only put out the flame, but almost froze her solid.
"COLD! C-C-C-COLD!" Flannery screamed.
"Another flame incident while training again Flannery?" Ash asked as they walked towards her. Ash used Oathkeeper and used a bit of fire to melt the ice, thawing her out.
"You have no id- wait a minute. You look familiar." Flannery said as she looked towards him. Pikachu jumped back onto Ash's shoulder and Ash pointed at him after dismissing Oathkeeper. Flannery took a moment until…
"ASH!? Is that you?" She asked.
"Long time no see Flannery." Ash said. Before he could say anything else, Flannery hugged him very tight. "ACK! CHOKING! NOT…BREATHING!" Ash gagged loudly.
"Okay missy, give him some air." Coco demanded as she pulled Flannery off of him, allowing him to breathe.
"Thanks." Ash said as he regained his breath. Velvet got behind Ash and held him a bit. He sensed her nerves acting up a bit.
"Sorry about that. It's just that after we heard the news, I feared the worst. After all, you were my first challenger." Flannery said while scratching the back of her head.
"I can understand that. Oh right, introductions. Flannery, I like you to meet two of my girlfriends, Coco Adel right next to you and Velvet Scarlatina behind me." Ash said.
"What's up?" Coco asked as they fist bumped. Flannery then eyed Velvet, who hid behind Ash a bit while peeking behind him. She had her ears down.
"Velvet is a little on the shy side, but since we'll be here for a while she should warm up pretty soon." Ash explained as he held one of her hands.
"Aw, you have nothing to be worried about sweetie. Plus, I love your bunny ears." Flannery said.
"R-Really?" She asked as she showed a little more of her.
"You bet. I've always wanted to meet a Faunus." Flannery said. This caused Velvet to gasp and her ears shot up.
"You know of the Faunus?" She asked as she moved next to Ash, but still held onto him.
"Of course. Especially since the White Fang have been on the move these days. Though I have heard that there are many Faunus against the White Fang, I still wanted to meet one." Flannery explained. Ash's eyes widen. The White Fang…here? This can't be good. "I'm gonna be heading for the Pokemon Center to get Meg and Mag some tender loving care, and then the hot spring. Care to join me?" She asked.
"Sure. Plus, there is something that you need to know. I'll explain everything when we get there. It may not be safe out in public." Ash said as he looked around.
As they arrived at the Pokemon Center, Flannery went to drop off her Pokemon. Meanwhile, Ash, Coco and Velvet went to go change and went to the hot spring.
Ash had gotten into the spring waiting for the others. He was fortunate that he and the girls would be the only ones here. Pikachu was floating nearby like he didn't have a care in the world. Soon enough, the first to arrive was Velvet. She wore a one piece suit that showed her hourglass figure well. She sat next to Ash and leaned on him.
"Ash…this is perfect… I love you." She said before she jumped up and kissed passionately. She sat on his lap as she deepened the kiss a bit. Suddenly, Coco cleared her throat, gaining their attention.
Coco wore a bikini that was brown and black. Ash never realized how thin she looked. He could carry her with one arm.
"What, you jealous or something?" Velvet teased her. Coco lowered her aviators and looked at her.
"Don't tempt me Bunny. I bet I could kiss him better you could ever kiss him." She said back to her.
"Okay before we start something, let's just enjoy this moment. After all, this may be the only date we'll have in a long time." Ash suggested.
"Fair enough." Coco said as she got in and sat on his other side. Velvet slid off of his lap and continued to lean on him.
"I see you three are relaxing well." Flannery said as she entered as well. She wore a one piece sports swimsuit that was decorated with flames.
"We sure are." Coco said. Flannery sat adjacent to them. Velvet tightened her grip with Ash a bit since she is still a bit shy.
"By the way Ash, what happened to you? You're covered in scars." Flannery said. Coco looked at him, and his torso. She blushed from the very sight.
"Most of them were from seven years of brutal training. The ones on my face were the most recent ones from saving a life. A claw to the face." He said as he rubbed his scars on his face.
"Oh my god. You had it rough haven't you?" She asked. He nodded. "So anyway, what did you want to tell me about the White Fang?" She asked.
"They're a criminal organization that is filled with Faunus. Velvet here is not one of them, I assure you on that. They seek for equality in their own way with the humans. How so? By robbing shops, stealing anything they can get their hands on from shipment trains, and even killing off anyone that shows no respect for them." Ash said.
Flannery just went pale from his explanation.
"They're not here are they?" Coco asked.
"No, they're not. But if we can get an idea of what they may look like, that would be great." Flannery said.
"I'll send you some photos later, but for now let's just enjoy this little relaxation." Ash suggested.
"You bet." The rest said. They stayed in there for about a couple more hours until they decided that it was time.
After they got changed after a much needed shower, and Flannery collecting her Pokemon, they met up outside the Pokemon Center.
"Thank you for coming here Ash. It really has been a pleasure seeing you again, and meeting your girlfriends." She said.
"Same here. Here, these are some pictures I was given that the White Fang usually looks like, and their symbol they use." Ash said as he pulled out his Pokedex and sent her a few photos.
"We'll send them to the authorities to be on the lookout for these characters." Flannery said.
"Great. The next thing we don't want is the White Fang spreading throughout the planet." Coco said.
"If you ever need us, just give us a call. We are hunters in training after all." Velvet said.
"Hunters? What do you mean by that?" Flannery asked. The three of them looked at each other and nodded.
Velvet pulled out her box and activated her camera and created a replica of Crescent Rose and struck a posed with it. Coco pushed a button and her handbag opened up and her Gatling gun was created. Ash then summoned his two Keyblades and readied to strike.
Flannery was shocked and terrified so much that she lost conscious.
"Oh dear. Pikachu?" Ash asked. Pikachu nodded and gave the unconscious Flannery a bit of electricity. She screamed a bit and she bolted up.
"WHO!? WHAT!? WHERE!?" She asked loudly until looking back at the three of them. "Now I get it…hunters in training."
Ash looked towards the sun as it was close to completely set.
"I'm afraid that we cannot stay. We have to be elsewhere." Ash said as they put their weapons away, or in Ash's case dismissed.
"Here, take these fresh waters with you. Hot springs can dehydrate you quickly." Flannery said as she handed them some fresh waters, two for each of them.
"Thanks. I could use some." Coco said as she quickly opened one up and drank from it. It was very refreshing.
"Thanks for visiting. Come back soon alright?" She asked.
"No problem." Ash said before summoning Divine Elemental and created another portal. After their good byes, they entered the portal and it closed instantly.
As the crack of dawn began to rise in Johto, a portal opened up and the three of them emerged. Coco took off her aviators and put them on her belt.
"Even the National Park hasn't changed." Ash said as he looked around.
"Pika." Pikachu agreed.
"Come on. Let's go walk around a bit." Coco said as she pulled Ash and Velvet. As they were walking around and drinking some fresh water, Ash could sense something flying nearby…or rather hundreds of something.
"Huh?" Ash wondered as he turned around and looked towards where the sun will rise. Just as the sun showed itself, hundreds of Butterfree, Beautifly, and Vivillon were flying right above them.
"Wow. They're beautiful." Velvet said as she watched them fly.
Suddenly, two of the Butterfree's began flying towards them.
"What the?" Coco and Velvet asked as they saw the two heading their way.
One of them hovered right in front of Ash, while the other perched on Ash's head. Ash then eyed a familiar scarf on the one in front of him.
"Wait a minute! Are you…?" He asked the Butterfree in front of him. He then held out a hand for the other Butterfree to land on it. He looked at it, and true enough it was the pink Butterfree. "Oh my god, it is you!" Ash said as he was full of happiness that he met his very first Pokemon that he caught in the wild as a Caterpie.
Pikachu was overjoyed seeing his first Pokemon friend from the very beginning.
"You know these Butterfree's?" Velvet asked. The two Butterfree's began flying around Pikachu playfully.
"The one with the scarf was my very first Pokemon I ever caught. It was a Caterpie back in the Viridian Forest in Kanto. The pink one is his mate from many years ago." Ash explained.
"That's cute Ash. I should show you my EEEK!" Coco screamed as she was about to take out her Pokemon, only to feel something crawling up her leg. Ash and Velvet looked down and saw a Caterpie crawling on her. She froze stiff with fear while looking at it.
"Relax Coco. It's just a harmless little Caterpie." Ash said as he knelt down and held out his hand to it. It happily crawled onto his arm and onto his shoulder. It squealed happily.
"I…have an irrational fear of some bugs. Butterfree's, Beautifly's and Vivillon's are a few exceptions." She said as she calmed down. The little Caterpie grew a sad face.
"It's alright little buddy. Soon enough, she'll really take a liking to you." Ash said to it before patting it on the head.
"You really are great with Pokemon aren't you Ash?" Velvet asked.
"Sure am. I can sense if a Pokemon is hostile or not. This little one is just as pure hearted as me." Ash said as he put the Caterpie down.
"So…shall we move on?" Coco asked.
"Sure thing. Are you coming with us?" Ash asked Butterfree. The two Butterfree's looked toward the swarm. "If you need to be with the swarm, then we won't stop you." Ash said.
His Butterfree perched onto his head and nibbled him a bit. The two began to ascend to the swarm. They all waved as they rejoined the swarm.
"Even to this day, that very day when I released him was something that was hard for me." Ash said as the swarm was almost out of sight. Coco walked up to him and kissed his cheek.
"Don't be sad Ash. Come on, let's go walk around the park." Coco said as she took his hand. He nodded and they continued to walk around the park.
Suddenly, Ash began to sense a strong presence nearby. This did not go unnoticed by Velvet.
"What's wrong Ash?" She asked him.
"I sense something. There's a strong aura nearby here in the National Park." He said as he activated his aura vision.
"Sounds like there is a legendary Pokemon nearby." Coco thought out loud.
"There is…there!" Ash yelled as he looked towards the trees and he saw something running through the trees. They got a little closer to see what it is.
The silhouette of the Pokemon spotted the three of them. It then eyed Ash. It charged towards him.
"Uh oh! Come on out guys!" Coco yelled as she threw her two Ultra Balls and a Machamp and a Medicham emerged.

Coco's Medicham LVL 89 Fighting/Psychic Pure Power

Her Pokemon readied for whatever was about to come out. The Pokemon jumped out and tackled Ash.
"ASH! You're alive!" It said. Ash recognized that voice as it continued to nuzzle him.
Coco and her Pokemon stood dumbfounded as it didn't attack her Pokemon. Even Velvet was standing thinking, 'What the hell?'
"KELDEO!?" He shouted. Keldeo nodded as he gave him some room. "Well I'll be. What are you doing out here?" He asked.
"There are some poachers out here and the Swords of Justice sent me to deal with them." He said as he got angry.
"I see. Perhaps we can help you, for old time sake. By the by, these are my girlfriends, Coco Adel and Velvet Scarlatina. Girls, I like you to meet the newest member of the Swords of Justice and an old friend of mine, Keldeo." Ash said.
"How are you talking?" Velvet asked Keldeo.
"Telepathy. He can speak with his mind. Most legendaries are known to do that." Ash said.
"PIKA PIKA!" Pikachu shouted as he jumped onto Keldeo's back.
"Pikachu! I thought I recognized you." Keldeo said as he looked towards him.
"So, what kind of poachers are we dealing with?" Coco asked.
"Have you ever heard of Team Rocket?" Keldeo asked.
"A little too well." Ash said with anger.
"They have been spotted here on numerous occasions. They've been making the Bug Catching Contest here practically impossible to have." Keldeo said.
Ash couldn't believe this. Team Rocket will never give up, will they? Suddenly, he began some hostile movement heading their way.
"I think we are about to find out who's been messing around here." Ash said as he looked towards the south.
"Huh?" Keldeo asked as they all looked towards that general direction.
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it double!"
"To infect the world with devastation!"
"To blight all people in every nation!"
"To denounce the goodness of truth and love!"
"To extend our wrath to the stars above!"
"Cassidy!"
"And Butch, of course!"
"We're Team Rocket, circling Earth all day and night!"
"Surrender to us now or you will surely lose the fight!"
Ash was shocked that the other duo was still at it.
"Cassidy, and Biff?" He wondered. Butch stumbled anime style from that.
"It's Butch, not Biff! I just went through my introduction!" He yelled. Keldeo decided to step forward.
"Team Rocket! It's time for you to stop this." He demanded. Cassidy and Butch looked at each other for a moment. They then laughed at it.
"Look unicorn boy, you are in no position to deal. But, you would make a fine present for the boss. So how about we make you a deal. You come quietly and maybe we'll take our leave and never return." Cassidy offered.
"Get a life you creeps, or have you forgotten who're talking to? I am Keldeo, a Sword of Justice!" Keldeo yelled before glowing blue. He began to take on his resolute forme.
"Allow me to help out." Velvet said as she threw her two Ultra Balls and a Lopunny and a Liligant emerged.

Velvet's Lilligant LVl 88 Grass Chlorophyll

Cassidy and Butch saw a major threat as they pulled out their Poke Balls.
"Alright then, have it your way. Raticate and Charizard, get them." Cassidy said as she sent out her team.
"Primeape and Aggron, show no mercy." Butch said as he sent out his team.
Cassidy's Raticate LVl 79 Normal Guts
Hyper Fang Sucker Punch Double-Edge Endeavor
Cassidy's Charizard LVl 80 Fire/Flying blaze

Butch's Primeape LVL 79 Fighting Vital Spirit

"You've helped us Ash. Our turn now. You're going down Cassidy and Filch." Velvet said.
"MY NAME IS BUTCH!" Butch shouted.
"I think we should sit this one out for now Pikachu" Ash suggested as he took a few steps back. Piakchu agreed.
"Bring it on Hutch!" Coco mocked Butch.
"MY NAME'S NOT HUTCH! AGGRON USE HYPER BEAM!" Butch screamed. Aggron fired off a powerful beam of black energy towards Lopunny.
"Charizard, scorch Medicham with flamethrower." Cassidy commanded. Charizard flew into the sky and fired off a powerful burst of flames.
Ash and Pikachu were watching as Keldeo, Coco and Velvet were kicking ass and taking names on Team Rocket. Just as Cassidy's and Butch's Pokemon were down, Ash stepped in.
"I'll finish this, just like the old times." Ash said before he snapped his finger. Pikachu jumped up and fired off a very powerful thunderbolt at their enemies. Keldeo fired off a hydro pump from his hooves at them, and Ash summoned Divine Elemental and fired off a barrage of ice attacks. The three attacks collided and a powerful explosion occurred, as it sent them flying.
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF JUST LIKE JESSIE AND JAMES!" They shouted.
"PREPARE FOR MORE TROUBLE BITCH, CASUE THE BOSS IS GONNA GIVE IT TO US!" Cassidy screamed.
"IT'S BUTCH DAMMIT!" Butch screamed before they vanished from a twinkle. Ash struck a victory pose after giving his Keyblade a twirl and grinned.
"Ah, a trip down memory lane that never gets old." Ash said as he swung his Keyblade over his shoulder. He watched as Coco and Velvet returned their worn out team and put the balls back onto their belts.
"I haven't had this much fun in a long time." Velvet said before hugging Ash. Coco joined in and hugged his other side.
"You've really changed so much Ash. I guess since it has been almost eight years, anything could happen." Keldeo said before changing back to his original form.
"It sure has." Ash said. They eyed each other for a moment before Ash pulled his Keyblade back towards his other shoulder. Keldeo readied his Sacred Sword. The Keyblade and the Sacred Sword collided and a loud clang echoed.
"I guess this is good bye for now." Keldeo said while deactivating his attack.
"Seems like it. Hey, maybe you and the rest can give us a hand back at Vale. The Creatures of Grimm have been plaguing the land, and the Pokemon could use some help." Ash informed him.
"Vale? I'll have to consult with Cobalion with that. It is our sacred duty after all, but we never went up against the Grimm." Keldeo said.
"Alright. You take it easy alright?" He asked before creating another portal to take them back to Beacon.
"You bet. Let's train with each other sometime. It has been years since we saw each other after all." Keldeo said.
"I look forward to it. Come on girls, let's get out of here." Ash said.
"Right, but first." Velvet said before she walked towards Keldeo and hugged his head. He blushed a bit. "Thank you for helping us." She said.
"It's what I do best. Besides, I'm the one that should be thanking you guys." He said while smiling. Coco chuckled before scratching his head.
"Perhaps, but you did help us as well. So I guess we'll call it square." Coco said. Keldeo nodded. Keldeo then ran off towards the forest and he was out of sight. Ash, Coco and Velvet walked through the portal and it closed instantly.
At the courtyard of Beacon, a portal opened up and they emerged. They saw that the sun had already gone down, but there was still light showing.
"Let's get back to our dorm." Coco said.
"You girls go one ahead. There's something I have to check." Ash said before he created another portal. He looked towards Velvet and winked at her.
"Okay." Velvet said before Ash ran through the portal.
Later on after Coco and Velvet returned to their dorm, Coco spotted something wrapped on her pillow. There was a letter from Ash. She opened it.
'I knew I had it somewhere. You can have it.' The message said. Coco gasped and opened the gift quickly. A Sun Stone showed itself. She looked at it for a moment before she shed a tear of happiness.
"I'm going to visit him. He just sealed our relationship!" Coco said before setting down her handbag, the Sun Stone and her aviators and ran out of the room.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Velvet yelled as she ran after her.
Meanwhile, Ash decided to check in with Team RWBY. He knocked on their door. Weiss answered it.
"Hey Ash!" Weiss said as she hugged him.
"Hey beautiful. We just got back." Ash said. Weiss let go of him and brought him inside.
"Blake's using the bathroom. She won't relax until she sees you." She said. Ash decided to sit down on her bunk while explaining to the rest of what has happened.
"I knew the springs at Lavaridge are to die for. One day, we should all go there." Ruby suggested.
"That's a pretty good idea. I've always wanted to go to a hot spring." Yang said. She then hopped off her bunk and moved closer to Ash. "You think you can get us there sometime?" She asked.
"Of course." Ash said. She chuckled before kissing him.
"You should've seen Blake earlier today. She wouldn't stop pacing and muttering to herself. What exactly happened that caused her to be like this?" Weiss asked. She knew it had something to do with Ash and Blake's date yesterday.
"Let's' just say that she really did wanted to go to the Alola region so badly, and she was so overjoyed that her wish came true." Ash said.
"Is that why she slept with you and Emerald slept on Blake's bunk last night?" Yang asked with a teasing look.
"Yup. I've never seen her so happy." He said.
Suddenly, their bathroom door opened and Blake walked out in her pajamas. She was reading her book while making her way towards her bunk. As she sat down, she realized it felt different. She looked behind her, only to see Ash. She was sitting on his lap.
"ASH!" Blake yelled as she threw her book aside and kissed him hard.
"I think she misses him a little too much." Ruby whispered to Weiss. She nodded when Ash and Blake broke apart. Blake then hugged him and she wanted to stay like that for a while.
"How was your date with Coco and Velvet?" She asked.
"It was great." Ash said. He then explained all that has happened to her.
Right up until he finished, he sensed someone in front of his room. It was Coco and Velvet.
"It seems that we have company. Excuse me a sec-ACK!" Ash was interrupted when Blake held him tighter and held him down. Ruby sighed from that.
"I'll get it." Ruby said in a groan as she hopped off her bunk and opened her door. "You two looking for Ash?" Ruby asked. She gasped when she saw Coco in tears, and Velvet holding her shoulder. "What's wrong?" Ruby asked as she stepped out.
"Ash gave me a wonderful gift and I need to thank him deeply." Coco whimpered. Ruby sweated a bit, knowing that Ash was a little occupied against his will thanks to Blake.
"Um…one moment." Ruby said as she rushed into her room. "Blake, let him go. Coco and Velvet are here and one of them is in tears right now, and she needs him."
Blake groaned a bit as she slid off of him. Ash scratched one of her cat ears a bit, causing her to calm down from the amazing feeling she was getting.
"Just give me a moment alright?" He asked. She quickly pecked him and nodded. Ash got up and met up with Coco and Velvet outside.
"Ash…can we go inside your room?" Velvet asked.
"Yeah, come on." He said as he took a crying Coco inside and Velvet right behind them. He sat her down on his bed while Velvet, who never saw his room yet, was staring at the bewitched ceiling. "I take it you saw my gift?" He asked.
"Ash…I…I have no words to say on how grateful I am from that gift." She hiccupped a bit. Ash held her and she leaned on his shoulder.
"Let it out sweetie." He said to her. Coco began to break.
"Ash!" Coco yelled as she quickly got up and slammed herself onto him and kissed him, who greatly returned it. More tears escaped her eyes as she deepened the kiss. Ash moaned a bit as she inserted her tongue in his mouth and massaged his with hers.
Velvet watched as her leader made out with Ash.
"I guess she was right. She can kiss him better than I could ever…or could I?" She thought to herself.
After they separated for air, Coco leaned her forehead onto his and still held him.
"I love you so damn much Ash Ketchum." Coco whispered.
"I love you too Coco Adel." He whispered back to her. He then eyed towards Velvet, who looked like she was being left out. "Hey cutie bunny. Come join me." Ash said to her.
Velvet grew a warming smile and happily joined them. She sat next to him.
"You know Coco…if you think you can kiss him better than I, well…" Velvet decided to kiss Ash. She kissed him almost as passionate as Blake did from last night. She already inserted her tongue into his mouth to show it.
After about a minute, they pulled back for air.
"Wow Velvet, I didn't know you had that in you." Coco said as she was impressed of her actions.
"So we'll call it even?" Velvet asked her. She nodded. "Goodie. Well Ash, this was great." She said as she and Coco hugged him.
"I agree." Ash said as he returned the hugs. Suddenly, he gasped as he realized something.
"Ash?" Coco asked.
"I have one more date to do." Ash said as he began to sweat.
"Now that I'm thinking about it, who is the other girl?" Velvet asked. Coco and Velvet knew of Emerald and Team RWBY, but they didn't know who the other girl was. They were in for a big surprise.
"If I tell you, I want you both to promise me a few things." Ash said in a serious tone. They nodded. "Alright first, do not tell this to anyone. Second, do not judge me. Finally, do not make fun of her. She had a very good reason for this." Ash stated.
"We promise Ash." Coco asked. Ash sighed as he was pretty much ready for anything.
"It's….Glynda Goodwitch." Ash said.
"WHAT!?" They shouted in surprised. Velvet's ears shot wide up, almost to the point where she almost pulled a muscle somewhere.
"Long story short, she was overjoyed she gotten an assistance for combat class, which ultimately meant that she has much less to take care of from now on. She greatly welcomed this." Ash explained.
"No wonder she's been more calm and collective than usual….damn." Coco said as she was still processing what happened.
"Well anyway, we should head back. You have an overprotective kitty Faunus to return to." Velvet said before kissing him one last time.
"Right. Good night girls." Ash said as he got up.
"Good night my favorite Keyblade Master." Coco said as she kissed him.
As they all left, Ash returned to Team RWBY's dorm. Blake was almost ready to go to sleep. Ash sat by her as she hugged him.
He decided to stay there until Blake went to sleep. He kissed her before quietly making his way back to his dorm. With one more date left, Ash knew that the Pomace Mountain was the last place he needed to go to. Since the tournament was only a matter of days away, he needed to get the last source of the X-Blade. He had a very bad feeling that something was going to happen at the tournament.
Meanwhile
In downtown Vale, a portal opened up and Xedrek emerged. The portal closed instantly. He looked around and people were staring at him from an unexpecting appearance. He ignored them and entered a nearby dance club.
"This must be the place." He thought to himself. He made his way towards a counter where a middle aged man was cleaning a glass. He eyed Xedrek.
"Aren't you a little young to drink kid?" He asked.
"I'm 24 years old. I'm looking for a guy name Junior." He said as he sat down.
"You're looking at him. What do you want?" He asked as he sat the glass down and eyed him.
"First, a light soda with no ice and I need information." Xedrek said. Junior quickly poured him a glass of soda and handed it to him.
"What kind of info are you looking for? The bigger this is, the more payment this will cost you." Junior said as he leaned towards him. Xedrek smiled a bit.
"I thought as much." He said before grabbing Junior's collar and pulled him closer to him. "Listen, you tell me everything I need to know, and I'll award you with these." Xedrek whispered to him as he pulled out a couple bricks of gold.
Junior eyed the gold with shock. He inspected it, and it was real. Xedrek got it back.
"I'm listening." He said. Xedrek still had a hold on him. Unbeknownst to him, two twins eyed him from upstairs and they saw that he may be threating him.
"Come on Miltia. Let's get him." One of the twins said.
"Be ready for anything Melanie." Miltia said while reading her claws. Melanie quickly sharpened her blades on her heels before they walked towards them.
"I need to know where I can find Raven Branwen ASAP. If your info is accurate, I will make you a rich bastard." He said. Junior pulled away from him, who let go of him.
"Give me a second would you?" He asked as he reached for a phone and called someone. Xedrek sat back down and began drinking his soda.
"Hey you!" Melanie yelled at Xedrek. He slowly turned around and eyed the twins. He grew his half smile at them.
"You need something?" He asked. Miltia walked towards him and aimed her claw at him.
"You threatened our boss. Give us one good reason we shouldn't throw you out." She demanded.
Xedrek got up from his seat. He summoned Nightmare Realm and put the moon crest to her neck, causing her to panic.
"Good enough." She said as she stepped back. Xedrek dismissed his Keyblade.
"I am an acquaintance with a fellow Keyblade Master named Ash Ketchum. I'm just getting information on someone. Once I get what I need, I'll be on my way ladies." He said before he sat down. The twins decided to join him.
Soon enough, Junior got off the phone.
"Well, I got good news. Raven Branwen goes to my colleague's pup in Mistrial practically every night when she can. Here is where it's at." Junior said as he pulled out his scroll and showed him a map and the building.
"Excellent. Here, you can have this one that you inspected. You can use it for my payment for the drink. Keep the change. The last one I will give to you if what you say is true." Xedrek said.
"I give you my word that my colleague sees her there most nights." Junior said.
Xedrek nodded as he picked up his drink and took another sip. As he placed it back down, he saw a napkin that wasn't there before with a message on it. He looked at the twins, and they both winked at him. He looked at it.
"Call us sometime. They said in synch before they chuckled and walked off, leaving Xedrek there to blush.
"Oh boy…" He said as he saw two phone numbers on his napkin with their names above each one.
Another chapter down and only one date left. I think you all know where the last place is at and who's left. However, Pomace Mountain is not the only place Ash and Glynda will go to. Where will they go? Find out more as the story continues.
