I want to thank everyone who took the time to leave a review; I really appreciate your comments and feedback.

I've been asked this a few times and will answer it now – even though it's in the Q&A on my profile page (I'm starting to wonder why I put it on there.). Yes, I have done lemons for the original version of this story, they are set quite a few chapters from now but there isn't much in the way of spoilers so read them if you want to. Quick warning though they were written two years ago so they probably aren't that good. I will take suggestions for other lemons to write in the future – just make sure the request isn't messed up, there's already way too much weird and disgusting shit on this site.

This chapter like the last one didn't take as it is just a slightly edited version of the original and I've had a couple of days off to try and get over my chest infection. Soon I will start making more significant changes which will take more time. In fact next chapter is when a major change will happen so it'll be a surprise for the readers of the original version of this story.

Anyway, without further ado here's chapter 8, I hope you enjoy it.

When Ash, Anabel and Meowth arrived at the Pokémon centre they spotted Gary sat at a table looking totally pathetic. He had May, Dawn and Tracey sat with him trying to console him but judging by the hollow look in Gary' it was obvious that it wasn't working. Ash was enjoying the scene as now Gary was experiencing some of the emotions Ash had felt the day they betrayed him. Anabel was also looking at Gary and despite the broken look in his eyes she couldn't bring herself to feel sorry for him, he had been the cause for so much pain for her and Ash.

Ash and Anabel walked up to Nurse Joy ignoring the glares thrown their way by May and Tracey and what seemed to be a half-hearted attempt at a glare from Dawn. Anabel handed her Pokéballs to Nurse Joy and they sat down at the table that was as far away from the traitors as physically possible. The room was completely silent as the traitors continued to glare at Ash and Anabel. After what felt like hours Nurse Joy called out that Anabel's Pokémon had been healed, Ash and Anabel got up from the table and she picked up her Pokémon. As Ash and Anabel went to leave they were stopped by Nurse Joy.

"I was told to inform all competitors that the next round you will be randomly paired up with someone in a double battle. The rules are that each trainer has three Pokémon The first team to lose all of their Pokémon loses."

Ash and Anabel thanked Nurse Joy for the information and then left the Pokémon centre completely ignoring the traitors again. As they walked outside Richie was approaching the Pokémon centre, when he saw them leaving he quickly ran over to them which made Sparky fall off Richie's shoulder and land face first on the ground. Richie hadn't even noticed that Sparky was no longer on his shoulder and as he was about to start talking with Ash and Anabel he was hit with a Thunderbolt from Sparky. Everyone looked at the mouse who was scowling at Richie.

"Sorry Sparky." Richie said nervously.

'So you should be.' Sparky replied.

Richie picked Sparky up and placed him back on his shoulder. Sparky couldn't stay mad at his trainer for long and rubbed his cheek against Richie's as his way of apologising.

"Don't worry about it buddy. To be honest I deserved that." Richie said as he rubbed Sparky head.

Richie then turned his attention back to Ash and Anabel.

"So guys how did your battles go?" Richie asked.

"If you want to know how my battle went just go inside and look at Gary's face. That will tell you everything you need to know." Ash said.

"I only wish I'd have been there to see you crush Gary. What about you Anabel how did you do?"

"I only just managed to just pull off a win. After someone gave me a pep talk." Anabel replied while looking at Ash.

"Hey what kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't help out my girlfriend?"

"A very bad one." Meowth answered sarcastically.

This gained a chuckle from everyone.

"So Richie how did your battle go?" Ash asked.

"I won but that Nando guy pissed me off, all he did was keep putting my Pokémon to sleep. I'm just lucky that Zippo knew Sleep Talk." Richie said as he remembered roasting that Kricketune.

"Well that is the only strategy I've seen Nando use which is sad really. Anyway Richie how about you and Paul meet us here tomorrow at ten?"

"Sure Takeo sounds good. I'll see you both tomorrow."

Richie and Sparky walked away from Ash and Anabel and waved at them until they entered the Pokémon centre. They looked around and saw Gary hunched over in his seat with a broken look on his face.

"Ash really crushed him didn't he?" Richie whispered.

'Yeah he really did.' Sparky replied as he nodded.

Outside the Pokémon Centre Ash and Anabel began walking towards the clearing. When they got there they sent out all of their Pokémon who were quick to congratulate the battlers and they all demanded to get a very detailed description of the battle against Gary. Upon hearing about Meowth's battle Charizard roared in annoyance as he hadn't fought one of the treacherous Pokémon.

Ash and Anabel watched their Pokémon interacting with smiles on their faces, they were happy that their Pokémon had befriended each other so quickly. As they looked around they saw that the majority of the Pokémon were sparring. However, they did see the two Eeveelutions lying side by side in the shade of some trees and to Ash's surprise Glaceon was actually holding a conversation with Espeon which was something that had never happened before.

Ash was slightly worried when he saw Espeon wrap her tail around Glaceon's which made the ice Eeveelution stiffen for a moment. Glaceon's reaction seemed to upset Espeon and she was about to release Glaceon's tail but the ice type quickly wrapped her tail tightly around Espeon's stopping her from doing so. The Eeveelutions looked at each other and their cheeks both turned bright red.

"They are really cute together." Anabel said.

Ash nodded in response. They saw that not far from the Eeveelutions Absol and Luxray also had their tail wrapped around each other's and were nuzzling each other. They also noticed Gallade talking to Gardevoir and he said something that made her start blushing. The only remaining Pokémon that was not battling was Flygon who was watching Gallade and Gardevoir. He was very happy for the one he had come to see as a daughter, however he made a promise to himself that if Gallade ever hurt her he would hunt him down and kill him.

As night approached Ash and Anabel made their way to the hotel. The lights illuminating the city made everything look so beautiful, the couple took their time walking back just enjoying the sights and enjoying each other's company. They eventually reached the hotel, went up to their room and had another dream filled night in the embrace of the one they loved.

The next morning Ash and Anabel met up with Richie and Paul at the Pokémon centre. They walked inside to the main desk and Nurse Joy handed each of them their schedules. They examined the schedules and several emotions passed across their faces. Ash was pleased and at the same time slightly angry, Anabel looked relieved, Richie looked confused and finally Paul looked absolutely furious.

"Oh for fuck sake!" Paul yelled.

"Hey I will not tolerate foul language in my Pokémon Centre." Nurse Joy scolded.

Paul mumbled an apology to Nurse Joy and stomped out of the Pokémon Centre not noticing that he had dropped his schedule. Ash picked up the schedule and quickly scanned the paper wondering who had been paired with Paul.

"Well I can see why Paul is so angry. He's been paired with Max." Ash said.

"I feel sorry for him." Richie said. Ash, Anabel and Sparky nodded in agreement.

"So Anabel who's your partner?" Richie asked.

"Sabrina is my partner for this round. We're battling Jasmine and Erika."

Hearing the Psychic's name made Ash remember his experiences with Sabrina, the thought of being turned to a doll sent shivers down his spine however he quickly remembered the gentle look on her face when he went to retrieve Haunter. It was a great reminder of some of the good he had done during his first travels.

"How about you Richie?" Ash asked

"Well my partner is Morrison and we're against Tyson and Katie."

"That should be an interesting match." Ash replied remembering his battles against them.

"Anyway I've been teamed up with Dawn and we're fighting Misty and Rudy."

"I didn't know the Orange Crew were participating." Richie said.

"They're not. Rudy quit the Orange Crew to become joint leader of the Cerulean Gym after he married Misty." Anabel stated.

Ash wasn't really surprised they had gotten together, during his time in the Orange Archipelago Rudy had flirted with Misty and she had seemed to enjoy his company.

The trio exited the Pokémon Centre and once outside Richie went off to find Morrison while Ash and Anabel went to the clearing. When the Pokémon saw their trainers they stopped what they were doing and went to them. After informing them of their partners and opponents Anabel's Pokémon looked excited to be battling alongside another Psychic user and Ash's Pokémon grinned as they had the chance to thrash another traitor. Although they were annoyed that they had to be on the same team as one of the traitors. Ash looked at his Pokémon trying to decide who to use and after a little thought he managed to choose the three that would battle.

"Congratulations Glaceon, Blastoise and Infernape you get to crush Misty." Ash declared.

This earned a groan from the rest of his Pokémon who were all desperate to get a shot at them.

"Hey you will all get your shot at the traitors at some point." He said trying to placate them which seemed to work.

"Now let's get some serious training done." Ash yelled.

All of their Pokémon cheered exuberantly and started battling

Meanwhile back at the Pokémon centre four of the traitors are waiting for their schedule for the next round. They took a quick look at their partners and opponents, Brock didn't really seem bothered by his schedule, Max was angry and slightly scared that Paul was his team-mate, Dawn looked frightened and Misty smirked while looking at Dawn.

Suddenly Misty grabbed Dawn's arm and dragged her away to a private room in the Pokémon Centre which was far away from anyone. Once inside she locked the door and then marched over to Dawn grabbing her by her throat and she slammed the young Co-Ordinator against the wall. Pain shot through Dawn and she whimpered in fear as tears formed in her eyes.

"Listen up you little bitch because I won't repeat what I'm about to say." Misty growled.

Dawn nodded as she started shaking in fear.

"You will not help Hayashi tomorrow. You remember what happened seven years ago?"

Dawn nodded again.

"Well if you even try to help him then I promise you it will be ten times worse. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" Misty snarled.

"Y-yes I-I-I understand M-Misty." Dawn said as tears streamed down her face.

"Good."

Misty let go of Dawn's throat and then slapped her hard. Dawn put a hand to her cheek which was now bright red and stinging, the feeling made Dawn remember what had happened seven years ago and sobs now wracked her body. Misty sneered at the sobbing girl and walked over to the door, she unlocked it and left Dawn alone in the darkness. Now that Misty had left, Dawn slid down the wall and pulled her legs to her chest. She wrapped her arms around her legs as she sobbed.

"Ash I'm s-s-so sorry." She whispered between sobs.

Misty joined Brock and Max in the main lobby and the trio started talking about their battles tomorrow. What none of them noticed was that a certain yellow rodent was missing. When they had entered the Pokémon Centre Pikachu had spotted the man he believed to be Ash Ketchum going into the forest. Pikachu waited until he knew that nobody was and shot out of the Pokémon Centre and started following Ash and Anabel so he could find out the truth. Pikachu saw them stop in a clearing with a large group of Pokémon approaching. Pikachu quickly hid behind a tree hoping that he wouldn't be spotted.

As he stood there in hiding he overhead the man saying about defeating another traitor and he watched in awe as he saw the massive battle going on. Pikachu had been so engrossed with what he was watching that he hadn't noticed a presence behind him until he was lifted in the air. He tried to move but found that he was completely immobilized, he could see a faint blue glow surrounding him which meant whatever was behind him could use psychic powers.

Pikachu was suddenly turned around so he could see his assailant. As soon as he saw the Pokémon that had him trapped fear filled Pikachu as he remembered him and knew what he was capable of. He stared into the glowing blue eyes of the Pokémon that was sending a death glare at him which only made the mouse even more terrified of the position he was in.

"So by the look of terror on your face I can tell that you remember me. Well I am giving you your first and only warning. If you or anyone that you know comes here again then they will suffer a painful death. Now I think it is time for you to leave."

The blue glow that surrounded both of them became even more intense. Suddenly Pikachu was catapulted through the air by a powerful Psychic blast, seconds later he crashed through the doors of the Pokémon Centre and landed at Max's feet. His last thought before he lost consciousness was that it must be Ash if he's there.

Ash smirked at his friends' handiwork, he had known Pikachu had been following them the whole time as he had sensed his Aura. He had been tempted to get rid of the treacherous rat on his own but he knew that his friend wanted to dish out some pain. So he had decided to leave him to the Psychic type who sent him a pretty clear message. The sight of Pikachu flying through the air pleased all of Ash's Pokémon.

"Good job my friend." Ash complemented

"It was my pleasure Ash. Now I wish to return to the Pokéball."

Ash gave the Pokémon a small nod and the Pokémon disappeared returning to the Pokéball on Ash's necklace. Ash and his Pokémon turned their gaze to Anabel and her Pokémon and almost laughed when they saw their wide eyes and that their jaws had dropped. Anabel was the first to recover and stared at Ash.

"Ash who was that?" She asked

"Remember when I told you about Team Rocket?" Ash asked getting a nod from Anabel in response.

"The thing is I didn't tell you everything."

Flashback (three years ago)

Ash had just placed the last of the explosive devices he had and was walking back towards the elevator. He suddenly came across a long dark corridor that had a heavy duty door at the end. The only thing illuminating the corridor was a small light above the door that was flickering. Ash walked down the corridor using his Aura Vision to make sure he didn't fall over anything. He was disturbed to see puddles of blood were all along the floor making Ash wonder what on earth Giovanni had been doing her. Ash tried to open the door but found it was locked so he formed a small Aura Sphere and blew a hole in the door which allowed him to enter the room.

He walked down a series of blood soaked steps into the darkness. Although visibility was extremely low he could make out what appeared to be a torture rack as well as several other devices that would probably cause excruciating pain. He quickly ducked under one of the several cages hanging from the ceiling which were presumably where the prisoners were kept. As he walked further into the room Ash saw the outline of a body in the corner of the room. Ash rushed towards the body and was shocked to see someone he hadn't met for several years. He was chained to the walls and had clearly suffered several injuries from the cruel devices in the room.

"Mewtwo, can you hear me?" Ash asked worried that Mewtwo might be dead.

All Ash got was silence and he was certain that the clone of Mew was indeed dead. Suddenly Mewtwo lifted his head and managed to open his eyes. He was relieved that for once it wasn't Giovanni in front of him but instead the only human he trusted.

"Ash is that you?"Using his telepathy to say that took the last of Mewtwo's energy and he passed out.

Looking at the state Mewtwo was in Ash knew he only had one choice. He took a Pokéball off his belt and tapped it on Mewtwo which instantly captured him. Ash placed the Pokéball safely in his pocket and felt Meowth climb on to his shoulder. Ash glanced at Meowth and could see a similar look of concern on his face

"We'd better hurry up and beat Giovanni. I really don't know how long Mewtwo will last without medical attention."

After Ash had dropped Giovanni and the evidence off at the Police Station he used Gardevoir to Teleport them to a friend of his that Ash had met up with shortly after he began his search for Team Rocket. The person was well trained in healing Pokémon and he managed to save Mewtwo's life. Although it took several weeks for Mewtwo to be fully healed. But as soon as Mewtwo's strength had returned Ash gave Mewtwo the chance to leave but he declined choosing to remain with Ash.

Flashback over

Ash didn't go into detail about the severity of Mewtwo's injuries or the mutilated corpses of Pokémon and humans that had littered the floor. The things Ash had seen in that torture chamber had haunted him for a long time and he didn't want Anabel to have to suffer through the same nightmares.

"That's horrific. How can someone be so cruel?" Anabel whispered.

Ash pulled Anabel into a hug and she wrapped her arms around him once again feeling safe in his arms.

"Giovanni is a very sick and twisted man. But he will never harm anyone again." Ash said softly.

Ash then tilted her chin up so she was looking into his eyes.

"And I will never let anyone harm you."

Anabel smiled at Ash's words and brushed her lips against his, after a few moments they broke apart.

"I know Ash." She replied happily.

"So shall we get back to training?" Ash asked.

"What do you guys think?" Anabel asked looking at her Pokémon

They all cried out enthusiastically. The rest of the day was spent preparing for their matches tomorrow, Anabel's Pokémon weren't experienced in battling alongside other Pokémon so they worked on the synergy needed. Ash's Pokémon all helped them improve this by training with them, Gallade and Alakazam took to the different battle style no problem. Espeon, Metagross and Mr Mime struggled at first but manage to pick up the battle style by the end of the day. The only one who struggled was Raikou who as a legendary Pokémon was so used to fighting alone that he wasn't great at teamwork but he was improving.

As it started to get dark both Ash and Anabel could see that their Pokémon were getting tired. So they decided to call it a night and returned to the hotel leaving their Pokémon to relax in the clearing. Once inside the hotel they went back to Anabel's room to get some rest.

The next day after Ash picked up his Pokémon and he went to the stadium where he would get to crush another traitor. He entered the building and walked down the tunnel to his locker room so he could wait for his match to start, he wasn't looking forward to fighting alongside Dawn, her betrayal had hurt him deeply as they had gotten close during their journey in Sinnoh and she had become like a little sister to him rather than just a friend. On the other hand, he couldn't wait to annihilate Misty and he knew that if anyone was likely to blow their cover it was her, all he had to do was get her angry which he knew wasn't a difficult thing to do.

As he was about to enter the locker room he was sure he heard shouting and crying coming from the other locker room. He quietly crept to the door which was slightly ajar and looked through the small gap and what he saw shocked him. He watched as Misty was mercilessly beating Dawn who was on the ground defenceless.

"You're here to warn him aren't you?" Misty yelled as she kicked Dawn.

"N-no I p-promise I c-came here t-t-to watch you win. P-please s-stop h-hurting me" She pleaded.

Misty responded with slap across Dawn's face and another kick to her stomach. Ash couldn't stand by and watch anymore, although he hated both of them for betraying him and the part of his mind that desired revenge told him to leave, the memories he had shared with Dawn compelled him to intervene. Also the noble part of him couldn't allow Misty to keep attacking Dawn like this. He stepped into the room and grabbed Misty's arm before she could hit Dawn again. Misty turned and glared at the man who had interrupted Dawn's punishment.

"What the hell do you want." Misty yelled.

"I'm here to stop this, I don't care what she's done to you, you have no excuse for beating her like that."

"Piss off Hayashi. It is none of your business, what I am doing is completely justified." She snarled.

"I severely doubt that, now I think you should leave before I lose my temper." Ash said remaining calm.

Misty growled and wrenched her arm away. She walked out of the room leaving Ash alone with Dawn who was still sobbing. Ash looked at Dawn and despite everything that had happened he felt sorry for her. She was still on the ground now in the foetal position trying to shield as much of her body as possible. Her lip was split, her hair was a mess and it looked like she would have a black eye in the near future. Ash got on his knees and gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey it's okay Misty is gone. Nobody is going to hurt you now." Ash whispered softly.

Dawn looked up at her hooded saviour with bloodshot eyes, she then launched herself at him and wrapped her arms around him while sobbing into his shirt. Ash was torn right now, on the one hand he hated her for betraying him however they had been so close before the betrayal and she was clearly distressed and needed someone to comfort her. He only had to take another look at her to decide what he had to do. He wrapped his arms tightly around Dawn and rubbed her back hoping it would soothe her. Ash found it quite ironic that he is sat comforting one of the people that betrayed and nearly broke him years ago. He would have laughed had the situation not been so serious.

"T-t-t-thank y-y-you for h-helping me."

"It's okay. Has that happened before?"

She took a moment to calm herself down.

"Yes it has been happening for about seven years now. It all started when the group of friends I'm with told me to tell Ash Ketchum that he sucked as a trainer. I got angry at them for even suggesting that and told them that Ash was a great trainer. That was when things got ugly, they attacked me and my Pokémon, I don't know how long they attacked but when they stopped they gave me a choice. Turn against Ash or they would kill my Pokémon I didn't want my Pokémon to get hurt so I turned on Ash."

Ash was horrified at what he was hearing, he never thought they would go to such extremes just to make Dawn side with them.

"I only wish that I could see him one last time to tell him how sorry I am." She said.

The guilt that Dawn felt for betraying Ash caused her to start sobbing again. Ash rubbed her back again in an attempt to calm her down again while he tried to process the information he had just been given. If what Dawn was said was true, then maybe there was a chance for them to rekindle their friendship.

"Will Takeo Hayashi and Dawn Berlitz come to the battlefield." The announcer said through the speaker.

Ash glanced at Dawn who looked terrified which considering what he had just found out was not surprising. He gave her one last hug before standing up and walking to the door.

"Stay here, lock the door and don't let anyone else in. I'll come get you after I crush Misty and Rudy." Ash said as he left the room.

"Good luck Takeo." Dawn whispered once he had left.

Ash walked out of the tunnel and on to the battlefield, he took his place in the trainer box and watched as the crowd looked around for his partner and when they say that she was nowhere to be seen the sound of several people muttering to each other could be heard.

"Excuse me Mr Hayashi but where is your partner?" The referee asked.

"Miss Berlitz is in no condition to battle so I will fight Rudy and Misty in a two on one handicap match." Ash declared while glaring at Misty.

The crowd looked shocked at his proposal, although he had shown tremendous power when he had defeated Gary Oak fighting two Gym Leaders on his own would be a much tougher challenge. The referee looked dubious but then heard a voice through his earpiece that told him to allow it.

"Ok, Scott has agreed to your terms Mr Hayashi. So the first team to lose all of their Pokémon is eliminated." The referee announced.

Up in the V.I.P box the people present were staring at Scott wondering why on earth he had actually allowed this match to happen. First of all, it had never been allowed before and secondly he was actually letting someone battle two Gym Leaders at once with one of his Pokémon against two of theirs.

"Scott why did you let Hayashi fight on his own?" Lance asked.

"Takeo wanted to fight on his own so I let him do so." Scott replied.

"But it isn't a fair fight." Cynthia added.

"Why do you say that Cynthia? I know for a fact that you and your fellow Champions could easily win this kind of handicap match and you saw his power the other day tell me why you think he's unable to win this."

Cynthia remained quite as she remembered the dominate performance Takeo had put on against Gary Oak.

"You know Cynthia you are right. It's not a fair fight, to make it even remotely fair I'd have to let them use all six of their Pokémon to battle one of Takeo's."

The champions were unsure whether Scott was being serious or not, he was implying that this unknown could rival them in power. They all decided that the only way to tell if Scott was bluffing would be to watch the battle.

Back on the battlefield Ash was still glaring at Misty while taking a Pokéball off his belt.

"Infernape may the Aura guide you."

The fire monkey appeared and shot a Flamethrower into the sky similar to how Charizard had done against Gary. The crowd were once again slightly frightened by the power he demonstrated.

'Let's do this Ash.' Infernape said with a smirk.

Rudy was slightly intimidated by the display however Misty was unfazed.

"Misty calls Lapras."

"Go Alakazam."

The Pokémon appeared on the battlefield, Rudy's Alakazam stood ready for battle, Lapras on the other hand was just staring at Ash. He met her gaze and his eyes widened in realisation.

"Lapras is that you?" Ash whispered just loud enough for Lapras to hear.

'Ash? Help me please.' Lapras pleaded.

Ash was completely livid now, it was obvious to him that Misty had been abusing Lapras by the pleading in her voice and the sad look on her face. Now he had another reason to make sure Misty would pay for what she had done.

"That's it Misty now I'm pissed. I know you've hurt that Lapras and for that you will pay!"

"Shut up Hayashi. The way I treat my Pokémon is none of your concern. Lapras prove that he's wrong and use Hydro Pump." Misty yelled.

Lapras just shook her head refusing to fight.

"You useless Pokémon you are just as pathetic as that former trainer of yours."

Ash and Infernape shook with rage at Misty's words and tears could be seen in Lapras' eyes. Everyone watched in shock as Misty dropped Lapras' Pokéball and then stomped on it shattering it into a thousand pieces. Ash wasted no time getting one of his own Pokéballs and running over to her. She nuzzled Ash, happy to be reunited with her true trainer and allowed him to capture her again.

The referee was about to disqualify Misty for her actions however Ash told him to let her continue battling and choose a new Pokémon instead. The referee once again paused waiting for Scott's decision and was told to do as Takeo said.

"You'll regret that Hayashi. Misty calls Feraligatr"

Ash looked at Misty's Feraligatr and it made him grateful that his fun-loving Totodile had believed in him.

"Well I'll let you two have the first move."

"Feraligatr Hydro Pump."

"Alakazam hold Infernape in place with Psychic."

"Thunder Blast then follow up with Mach Punch.""

Feraligatr opened his mouth and shot a powerful stream of water at Infernape at the same time Alakazam glowed blue and a similar blue glow surrounded Infernape. However, the fire monkey easily shook the attack off and his fists started crackling with electricity. He then formed a blue orb in his hands and the electricity in his fists was transferred to the blue orb which now crackled. Infernape shot the crackling orb at Feraligatr's hydro Pump and it cut straight through the water like a knife through warm butter. The orb slammed into Feraligatr causing him to crash to the ground. Infernape's fist then glowed white and he charged at Alakazam who had no chance to stop the jaw shattering punch that slammed into his face. The force of the punch knocked him off his feet and he slammed into Feraligatr. Both Pokémon got back up glaring at Infernape who was grinning at them smugly. Misty and Rudy looked at each other and nodded.

"Ice Aqua Jet."

"Use Psychic to speed it up."

"Infernape use Iron Tail on Feraligatr then throw him at Alakazam and end it with Flare Impact."

Feraligatr's fist became encased in ice and then he became surrounded in water which then froze from the Ice Punch. Feraligatr then shot off towards Infernape as a blue grow surrounded him which increased the speed of the attack. Infernape stood watching the block of ice headed his way with a smirk on his face. Just as Feraligatr was about to ram into Infernape the fire monkey's jumped and slammed his metallic tail into Feraligatr which shattered the ice and sent him crashing to the ground. Infernape picked up the limp Feraligatr and then threw him straight at Alakazam. The psychic type tried to stop Feraligatr with another Psychic but Feraligatr was moving too fast and he slammed into Alakazam sending them both skidding across the battlefield until finally slamming into the arena wall. It wasn't over for them yet though as Infernape became engulfed in flames and charged at the defenceless Pokémon They both knew they had no way to stop Infernape and could only lie there and take the attack. Infernape slammed into them knocking them both out.

"Feraligatr and Alakazam are unable to battle. Misty and Rudy choose your next Pokémon"

Rudy and Misty returned their Pokémon while glaring at Takeo.

"Misty calls Vaporeon."

"Go Electivire."

Seeing the Pokémon Misty had chosen made Ash's next choice easy.

"Infernape return. Glaceon may the Aura guide you."

The ice Eeveelution appeared and glared at Vaporeon.

'I'm looking forward to this.' Glaceon said with a sinister tone.

"Vaporeon Hydro Pump."

"Electivire Focus Blast."

"Use Ice Beam to freeze both attacks. Then use Blizzard."

Vaporeon opened his mouth and fired a powerful jet of water and Electivire formed a blue orb in his hands and shot it at Glaceon. The ice Eeveelution opened her mouth and a light blue ball formed in front of her. She then fired beams of ice from the orb at the two attacks freezing them. The frozen attacks slammed on to the battlefield and shattered which covered the battlefield in shards of ice. Glaceon then released a powerful Blizzard at Electivire and Vaporeon. The intense frozen wind propelled the shards of ice on the battlefield and they pelted Electivire and Vaporeon which combined with the Blizzard sent them flying into the arena wall. They both quickly got up but looked worse for wear. As they watched their Pokémon being beaten again Misty and Rudy were becoming even more annoyed at what was happening.

"Thunderbolt." Rudy yelled

"Shadow Ball." Misty growled.

"Dig to dodge then use Frozen Shadows."

Electivire began charging electricity and Vaporeon formed a ball of black energy in front of his mouth. The attacks were then shot at Glaceon but she had already dug underground so the attacks passed harmlessly over the hole. The ground behind Vaporeon and Electivire shook and Glaceon burst out of the ground. She then formed several orbs of black energy and shot an Ice Beam at them to freeze them. The now frozen orbs were then fired at Electivire and Vaporeon. The attacks slammed into their backs making them collapse. Glaceon walked to Vaporeon and lifted his head with her tail forcing Vaporeon to look at her. He saw the smug look on Glaceon's face which enraged Vaporeon who managed to get back to his feet and he swung his tail at Glaceon. But she easily jumped over Vaporeon's tail and her tail turned metallic. She then slammed her tail down on Vaporeon's head which knocked the water Eeveelution out.

"Vaporeon is unable to battle."

Before the referee could continue Ash cut him off.

"Finish Electivire with Frost Smash."

Glaceon became encased in ice and she ran full speed at Electivire who had struggled back to his feet. He looked up just in time to see Glaceon charging at him. He tried to avoid the attack but was too slow and Glaceon rammed into his abdomen. The power of the attack made Electivire collapse falling face first on to the battlefield. He tried to push himself up but his arms gave way and he finally lost the battle with consciousness.

"Electivire is also unable to battle. Misty and Rudy choose your last Pokémon"

Rudy and Misty were furious; Takeo was humiliating them just like he had done to Gary.

"Misty calls Togekiss."

"Go Starmie."

"Good job Glaceon return. Blastoise may the Aura guide you."

Blastoise appeared on the field and smirked the moment he saw Starmie he was thrilled that he'd be able to beat it again.

"Starmie Thunderbolt."

"Togekiss Aura Sphere."

"Send them back with Rapid Spin."

Starmie started spinning around and released a powerful bolt of electricity at the same time Togekiss formed an orb of blue energy on her wing and propelled the orb at Blastoise. As the attacks got closer to Blastoise he withdrew into his shell and started spinning incredibly fast. The attacks hit Blastoise but were deflected away and were headed straight back at Starmie and Togekiss. Neither Pokémon was quick enough to dodge and Starmie was badly shocked by the electricity and was now staggering around. Togekiss wasn't in much better shape as her Aura Sphere had struck her left wing which had damaging it and caused her to descend slightly.

"Hyper Beam." Rudy and Misty yelled.

"Let's put them out of their misery. Finish it with Hydro Cannon."

Starmie and Togekiss formed an orange orb in front of themselves and fired a massive orange beam from them at Blastoise who fired two powerful orbs of water from the cannons on his back. The orbs of water met the two Hyper Beams and easily pushed them back. Starmie and Togekiss struggled to maintain the attacks but eventually it became too much and they were forced to stop firing the Hyper Beams. Without anything to stop them the orbs of water then slammed into Starmie and Togekiss and they crashed into the arena wall. Surprisingly they managed to get back up although Togekiss was leaning heavily on Starmie.

"I admire their tenacity but they should have stayed down. Blastoise hit them both with a Mega Punch."

Both of Blastoise fists glowed white and he charged at Starmie and Togekiss. He slammed his right fist into Starmie's jewel which created a large crack in the gemstone. Starmie felt immense pain as it's jewel cracked causing Starmie to pass out. Blastoise then used his left fist to hit Togekiss with an uppercut which sent her high into the air and she crashed down next to Misty unconscious. Ash and Blastoise were slightly saddened that they had had to give Togekiss such a beat down as they had known her when she was just a baby. They hadn't wanted to inflict anymore pain on her but she wouldn't give up so they had to do it.

"Starmie and Togekiss are unable to battle. Takeo Hayashi advances to the next round."

The stadium erupted with cheers and applause at another dominant display by the mysterious man. Misty and Rudy stood there demoralised, they couldn't believe they'd been humiliated so badly. Ash smirked at the devastated looks of Misty and Rudy's faces, he quickly returned Blastoise and walked over to the dejected traitor opposite him.

"What do you want Hayashi?" Misty mumbled.

Ash smirked at the devastation in her voice, he had dreamt of hearing her so broken for so long.

"I just came to say that I told you you'd pay for what you've done Misty."

Ash took a couple of steps away and started heading to the tunnel he come from, he suddenly stopped and turned back to her.

"Oh and by the way it's not over for you yet Misty, your actions have consequences. If you don't believe me just take a look behind you."

Misty and Rudy both turned around and saw Lance as well as several of the G-Men stood there focussing on Misty.

"You see Misty the Pokémon League is a bit strict when it comes to berating a Pokémon which you've clearly abused. So I'm guessing that after what you've done to Lapras they'll take the Gym, your Pokémon and when they find out about the organisation you were a key member in they'll throw you in prison too."

Misty's eyes widened as she realised everything Hayashi said was true, she collapsed to her knees and broke down crying. Ash watched gleefully as Misty fell apart in front of him, he knew it would be easy to expose her for what she truly is. It showed that she hadn't matured at all as she'd let her anger get the better of her as usual and this time it could cost her the things she cares about more than anything. Ash watched as Misty was handcuffed by the G-Men, she didn't fight back against the men showing how truly broken she must be. Rudy tried to push through to get to Misty but the G-Men wouldn't let him through.

"Another one bites the dust." Ash muttered.

Ash turned around and walked down the tunnel, headed to the locker room to get Dawn. He had been thrown by Dawn's confession and was now wondering what he should do about it. He then had to find out if Lapras was okay and why she was with Misty.
