Hey guys Paradox here and welcome to Chapter 82 and Chapter 39 of the Kalos Quest. Also known as the final chapter of the Kalos Quest. We reach Ash's seventh Gym Battle as he must out out predict a telepath for his seventh Badge. This chapter will tell of events,battles of what will start a shadow war for the Soul of Kalos. Now then,let us dive in.
"Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge."- Lord Byron
Chapter 82: Event Horizon
Silent tension was in the air as Ash stared Olympia dead in the eye as her apprentice acted as referee. "The battle between Ash the Challenger and Olympia the Anistar Gym Leader will now begin. This will be a two on two Double Battle and will conclude when both Pokémon are unable to continue." Charlene explained.
"Meowstic." Olympia said as both her Meowstic moved to the battlefield. "Hmm a Double Battle, which means I'll need to have a tactical advantage to match Olympia's Psychic strategies. Perhaps a page from the old playbook will help. I remember I used an Air and Ground assault when I battled Liza and Tate for the Mind Badge, maybe it will help me again." Ash thought. "Your Pokémon Challenger." Charlene called.
"Right, Talonflame come on out." Ash releases his first parnter. "For my second, I don't think Lucario will be able to withstand whatever Olympia's tactics are. I can't risk that...but Olympia also stated a newfound power in Frogadeir. Perhaps this battle will reveal it." Ash said. "Frogadeir you're up." Ash release the Bubble Frog as Talonflame's partner.
"The stars predicted Frogadeir would be one of your partners." Olympia said. "I would call it intuition." Ash said.
Ash vs. Olympia: Double Battle,two on two
Ash played a stare down wondering if Olympia wanted to make the first move. "Hmm...so if I recall, the Male Meowstic has stat boosting moves like Helping Hand to help the Female who as the offensive attacks. So I'll have to pull something out of my ass to at least keep up." "I wish you some luck Ash Ketchum. You're need a lot more then that." Ash said until he heard another voice in his head, and distinguished it as Olympia's.
"Did..did you just invade my mind?" Ash asked her. "It is impolite to keep an opponent waiting Ash Ketchum." Olympia said. "So do we get to use our powers or is this a normalize battle?" Ash asked. "It is not every day an Aura Guardian walks into my Gym." Olympia states. "Why so pessimistic?" Ash asked as Olympia only gave an unimpressed expression. "Just don't count on that so called Aura Guardian bravado to lead on." Olympia said playing on Ash's ego. "Okay on condition: don't keep telling how you claim to be all omniscient because no one can ever be that." Ash said knowing he struck a soft blow to Olympia's ego back at her.
"...very well. You make the first move." Olympia growled. "Lets push it up guys." Ash said as Frogadeir and Talonflame moved in. "You both use Helping Hand and Future Sight." The male Meowstic used Helping Hand to help his partner who used Future Sight,summoning a portal and shot multiple enegry balls into it. "Already planning ahead." Ash thought.
"Use Flame Charge Talonflame. Frogadeir use Aerial Ace." Both Pokémon charged in with their own moves aiming in at a specific opponent. "That famous Aura Guardian arrogance...use Psychic." Olympia commanded, until the Future Sight comes she needed to buy time, and had both Meowstic use Psychic power to stop Frogadeir and Talonflame in their tracks. Both then slam them on the ground first then sent them back to their trainer.
"Ash is gonna have to do better then that if want to even get near Olympia." Drake said. "Ash will prevail. He always has." Serena said. "Yea but compared to any other Gym Leader, he's battling someone like him. A Metahuman." Rene said. "He's battled a few Psychics before but this the first time since getting his powers and knowing the tensions among the factions." Drake said. "We get it,but that won't stop Ash." Bonnie said.
"We got to get at least in their personal space. Let's go again guys." Ash said as both Pokémon nodded and repeated their attacks once again closing fast. "Fool twice it's your shame. Use Psychic." Both Meowstic use Psychic Power to once again restrain both Pokémon of their movement. "You'll have to do better then that boy." Olympia said
"Like I said before." Ash said as he stir his Aura and connected a Aura link to his Pokémon. "My training will see me through." Ash's eyes glowed blue as Frogadeir and Talonflame's auras stirs and building up intensely until unleashing a Aura Shockwave that broke the Psychic grip off them. Frogadeir and Talonflame dropped and then reattack nailing both Meowstic on the chest.
"Bet you didn't see that coming did you." Ash smirked as Olympia was unamused. "What? You said we could use our powers and it wasn't even my Aura,It's my Pokémon. I don't just train physically you know." Ash said. "Lady Olympia can overcome anyone including you Guardian." Charlene yelled. "Who said you could talk!?" Ash slyly asked. "He's right. Charlene silence. You are the referee." Olympia said as Charlene felt embarrassed.
"Let us continue and we'll see who prevails. Meowstic use Psyshock." Both Meowstic then fired purple colored lightning out their paws aiming at their opponents. "Dodge it." Both Pokémon attempted dodge the Psyshock, Frogadeir rolled out of the way while Talonflame executed aerial maneuvers. However the Psyshock somehow double back and caught the duo by surprise,nailing them in the back but the punishment didn't stop there. A portal came out of nowhere and shot out several energy balls hammering and overwhelming both Pokémon,leaving them strained and on the ground.
Ash felt his nerves flare in nervousness. "Are you two alright?" Ash asked as both slowly stood back up. "Surprising that you could manipulate your Psyshock not to mention the Future Sight coming at the right time." Ash said. "It took great timing and skill place events in my favor. The Psyshock yes but the Future Sight is out of my control. No Psychic can make it come sooner or later only when it intends to come." Olympia said.
"That's must be a bummer." Ash said. "Don't worry your skills. Now Meowstic use Psyshock." Both Meowstic once again fired purple lightning at their opponents. "Dodge now." Frogadeir and Talonflame tried to avoid the Psyshock but once again they were being chase by it. "I got it. Talonflame take cover behind Frogadeir. Frogadeir,defend with Cut." Talonflame took cover behind as Frogadeir unleashed a white blade and tried to block it. "Deflect Frogadeir!" Frogadeir blocking the oncoming Psyshock with its blade then angled the blade left having the Psyshock ricochet back to the Meowstic. Coming in hot, Both Meowstic narrowly dodge as the Psyshock impacted near them,blinding them.
"Talonflame use Brave Bird." Bursting into a blue fire put speed increases from the previous Flame Charges,Talonflame rocketed towards both Meowstic at full charge. "Use Reflect." The male Meowstic then put up a blue screen wall between him and his partner against Talonflame,who merely impacted the wall as it held against the assault,halving the damage done to the male Meowstic. "Always a trick up your sleeve." Ash said. "You're surprised?" Olympia questioned.
"Use Future Sight." The female Meowstic then sent more energy balls through a portal,ready to be sent when ready. "They're planning ahead again so we got to think ahead of them. How about a trick of our own." Ash told his parnters as they agreed. "Let's go on a ride guys." Ash commanded as Frogadeir jumped and mounted on Talonflame. "Use Shadow Ball both of you." Both Meowstic then fired balls of darkness trying to knock both Pokémon out of the sky.
"Close up." Under fire, Talonflame had to pull a full loop turn to reroute around a safety zone only to finally be ontop of their targets. "Use Water Pulse." Frogadeir then jumped off and unleashed a ball of water at the Meowstic. "Use Light Screen." The male Meowstic then summoned a green screen that halved the damaged done by the Water Pulse, but Olympia wasn't aware of Ash's plan. "Gotcha. Use Brave Bird." Still near both Meowstic,Talonflame unleashed in a blue fire and charge right at both Meowstic. Olympia didn't have time to command back and could only watch when both Meowstic were struck.
"You seem surprised. That's very unusual for a Psychic." Ash said. "I am wondering how." Olympia asked. "Simple, certain Status moves won't be able to stack ontop of each other. I suspected your male Meowstic had more then two Status moves. When you had Meowstic use Light Screen it voids your Reflect thus giving my Talonflame a chance to land a critical hit. In short, I was a step ahead of you." Ash smirked.
"You obnoxious prick!" Charlene said. "Again you're talking!" Ash yelled. "Charlene!" Olympia scowls her. "Forgive my Hand. A clever plan but that luck is all you have and nothing else." Olympia said. "You're right about the plan,but I have more then luck with me." Ash said.
"Use Psyshock." Once again both Meowstic shot out purple lightning off their paws controlling it with Psychic power. "Evasive action!" Back on Talonflame's back, both Pokémon tried to outrun the Psyshock but that was the least of their problems. Suddenly in front of them a portal opened unleashing several energy balls out. "Quick Talonflame Typhoon Steel Wing, Frogadeir deflect with Cut." Holding in place Talonflame turned his wings to steel and spun around at a fast velocity that made its steel wings spinning swords, Frogadeir provided the backup as both Pokémon deflected both oncoming attacks from both sides successfully. Despite pushing through, the combo both Pokémon pull really exhausted them causing them to retreat.
"I still got to do something about that Future Sight. There's got to be something I could do to use it against Olympia." Ash said until he remembered the thing Olympia told him in the beginning. "The Future Sight is out of my control. No Psychic can make it come sooner or later only when it intends to come." She said. "Okay...I just need to figure out how long it takes for it to come...let's see from yesterday battle with Team Rocket and the last two from now." Ash said as Pikachu told him that he had been watching it the whole time and gave his theory. "Five minutes...makes sense. Okay...five minutes." Ash said to himself.
"You are wasting valuable time. You've battled valiantly but you will not achieve victory. Do you accept this?" Olympia said. "Do you even listen to yourself? Even if I was blind,beaten,deafen I still keep going." Ash said. "Fuivillious...Use Psychic." Both Meowstic then caught their opponents with Psychic power,holding them down. Ash could only look as his Pokémon were bound to the ground. "You've failed. Now you pay the price for your lack of vision." Olympia stated but despite her threat, Ash didn't fault an inch. "You know...for someone who claims to have vision, you couldn't be anymore blind..and stupid." Ash snarled leaving Olympia to scowl and Charlene enraged.
"How dare you!" She yelled. "SHUT THE HELL UP!" Ash yelled back startling her. "You claim to have all seeing vision well answer me Olympia: what you see...when you look at me." Ash snarled in determination. Olympia for once had nothing to say as she looked at her opponent who was enraged but had more willpower then any other person who ever challenged her. Clenching both fists tightly, Ash closed his eyes and envision his surroundings. From the outside, Olympia saw the boy being surrounded by an Aura outline.
"Drake is he?" Serena asked. "It's an Aura Burst,but...this one seems more controlled." Drake said. Meanwhile Ash was centering his energies and balancing his will. His Pokémon meanwhile were engulfed in their own Aura outlines fighting the Psychic hold they were in. The Meowstic tried to strengthen their hold on them but their strength was outmatched as Talonflame and Frogadeir we're slowly rising up until they were finally standing.
Completely shocked was left on Olympia's face. "What...what are you?" She asked. "You said it yourself." Ash said as he felt a new entity form in his soul. Feeling a new sensation on his left forearm it glowed in a golden light as something was etching on it. Looking at it, Ash realize what it was. A broadsword with a spiked boarder around it. This was it. His own Mark,the same Mark that Drake and Rene have on their forearms.
"I'm a Guardian Knight." Ash dared back with new strength and so was his Pokémon.
That moment Ash's Pokémon charge forward like soldiers on a battlefield. "Use Psyshock." Both Meowstic fired purple lightning but that didn't stop the charging Pokémon. Feeling his trainer's commands via Aura Link, Frogadeir unraveled a white long blade as he swung his weapon against the oncoming Psyshock,deflecting it around it they continue to charge. "Aerial Ace." At eye splitting speeds,Frogadeir hammered the Male Meowstic in the chest, followed by an Axe Kick Aerial Ace on the female. Afterwards he power thrown the female towards Talonflame who struck it midair with Flame Charge.
The female landed beside her male counterpart too injure to move. "How's could this be?" Olympia questioned her actions. "Frubble them." Frogadeir then shot two globs of its Frubbles each one encasing each Meowstic restricting their movements. "The time is near." Ash said. "Talonflame, Let's take them for a ride." Ash smiled as Talonflame grabbed each Meowstic by the head on each leg and took them high in the air.
"So Olympia...now do you see me?" Ash said as he gave a thumbs down sign.
Talonflame took that as the signal and toss them up high where as they were coming down, a portal opened and shot several energy balls and struck their masters. Everyone gasped at the timing the Future Sight, Ash must have figured it out and used it against Olympia. Most of the shocked came from Charlene and the other students who were observing the battle as they their Headmistress's Pokémon falling to the ground and landing with a heavy thud. No longer moving, both Meowstic fainted thus concluding the battle.
Charlene was so shock that she couldn't call the match over. "Now you see me." Ash smirked.
Facing the inevitable, Olympia closed down and accepted her defeat. "Charlene call the match." She said. "But Lady Olympia." "The match is over and I have been defeated. Do your duty and call the match." Olympia demanded. Sighing over Charlene called, "Both Lady Olympia's Pokémon are unable to battle. Frogadeir and Talonflame are the winners and the minds goes to Ash the Challenger." Charlene called. The whole group were the only ones cheering as Ash looked at his work. His training supported him to the end and now he looked at his new earn Mark on his forearm.
Reunited with the group, Ash hugged everyone. "You did it Ash. You're seventh Gym Badge." Clemont said. "Not only that you earned your Mark. You're now a full fledge Aura Guardian." Drake said proudly. "Yep, welcome to the Club Ash." Rene laughed causing the others to do so. "That was marvelous battle I've ever seen Ash. You never ceases to amaze me." The professor said. "Thanks everyone but also thank Frogadeir and Talonflame." Ash said as his Pokémon felt proud. Suddenly a cough caught the group's attention.
They turn to see Olympia and along with all her students including Carrie and Charlene. "Well...I must congratulate you on your victory. Despite your ignorance and altitude, you were correct. I was wrong." Olympia said. "It was no trouble despite your reluctance to prove your point." Ash said. "It is my honor to reward you with this. The Psychic Badge." Olympia said as Charlene presented a purple odd looking question mark shaped Badge. "Congratulations...Jerkoff." Charlene smiled causing Ash to smile sarcastically.
"And congratulations on your completion to Knighthood. I trust you'll service us and those in need very well." Olympia said as Ash bowed before her. The gang went outside the Gym along with the professor. "So where is our next move?" Drake asked. "Where's the next Gym you mean." Ash said. "The next Gym guys is in Snowbelle City." Rene said. "Is it far?" Ash asked. Serena then checked her map to see the directions. "Yep..we have a ways to go." Serena said. "Fine with me. I'll be glad get back on the road." Drake said.
"It was nice to spent time with you all but we must be getting back to Lumiose City." The professor said. "Everyone!" The group turned to see Charlene and Olympia coming towards them. "Did something happen?" Ash asked. "I'm afraid Lady Olympia has had another premonition." Charlene spoke. "It concerns the both of you." Olympia pointed to Ash and Drake.
"I've seen your fate...the both of you are responsible for securing our future,but I'm afraid there's another outcome. Either you both resolve this conflict and stop this war,thus saving us all or this war will consume you and you...shall die." Olympia said shocking everyone. "Let me get this straight. You've seen two possible futures: one is where we all live through this war and succeed or lose and me and Ash die?" Drake asked. "The latter I'm afraid is more reality then the other." Olympia said.
"So you say we are most likely to fail. Fail everyone and we die." Ash asked as both ladies nodded. "That is the most ridiculous fortune telling I've ever heard." Drake said. "This isn't a joke! This is your fate we are talking about." Charlene yelled. "Well here's a news flash for you. We Aura Guardians don't believe in fate!" Drake got in her face causing the both of them to start arguing. "Okay,okay shut up!" Rene broke them up.
"This is just one of two futures right?" Rene asked as Olympia nodded. "Look Rene's right. Beside you said that all of Kalos will be engulfed in a bright red light and if that's the case, every single one of us will be dead." Drake said. "Drake's right,this is the fight for our lives and we have to succeed or we all die." Ash said as everyone agreed.
Back at the Pokémon Center, the sun was setting as Drake,Ash,and Rene stood on the rooftop looking at the sunset. "There's a war coming weather we like it or not. A war to determine Kalos's soul." Drake said. "Which means someone would be leading this attack." Ash said. "And they wouldn't be working alone." Rene added. "And that means someday...they'll show their faces and when they do,we stop them. If we do that then we may have a chance to end this war before it even begins." Drake said.
"I sense that there's more to your mind." Rene said. "It's just Olympia seems certain that we'll failed and me and Ash will die trying to save everyone." Drake said puzzled. "This isn't our first brush with death Drake." Ash said. "And Psychics have been proven wrong you know. If we fail we all die." Rene said. "You're right...it's time to take the gloves off." Drake said determined. "So are we ready?" Ash asked.
"Yea,Playtime's over." Drake said as they continued to look at the sunset.
In an unknown location underground,a full laboratory was preparing. "Objectives are given and we are prepared." Said one hetchman. "Everything is now stable." Another hetchman told the man in front.
"Master Lysandre,all systems are operational. We are ready to begin." Xerosic said as Lysandre stood proud in front of all his forces.
"Good then I'm please to announce Project Genisys has begun." Lysandre smile as his forces cheered.
Done guys whooooooo. At last we made it this far and here's the conclusion of the Kalos Quest. So let's recap: Ash gain his seventh Gym Badge and has now achieve Knighthood so he's a full Aura Guardian. Now Olympia gave two possible futures one could happen to everyone and all of Kalos which rest on Ash and Drake's hands. This was the Grand buildup I had planned since the beginning of this arc.
Now we move into the XYZ which will bring a full battle against the likes of Team Flare and our heros but l'll explain more once we get to the first chapter of XYZ.
So on to another thing. There's been a great amount of confusion regarding a small piece of my two previous chapters that involve the love scene between Ash and Serena. You guys want an answer, here it is: Like any other love scene I've written so far never got too sexual so this one didn't either. As for the morning that came they were only in their underwear so Ash/boxers and Serena/underwear and yes the top was discarded Okay! So there it is so FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop asking me questions regarding that part because it's very annoying and stressful!
Okay!?...Good now I'll explain my plan for XYZ on my first Chapter of the new sega. I'll post a new summary like I did for the Kalos Quest before. Like, Comment and thanks for joining me on this wonderful adventure. This is Paradox signing off. Goodbye.
