Ash sighed as he sat down on the bed Paul and himself shared while watching Pikachu run in circles on the floor to get rid of some extra energy the mouse had. He had made it to the Top 16, but it wasn't easy. There had been times where he thought that he wasn't going to move on to the next battle. There were so many strong trainers here and he was beginning to feel the pressure to keep up with them. Admittedly he would be disappointed if he didn't make it further than the Top 16, but he wouldn't be disappointed at his pokémon.

He would be disappointed in himself.

Ash laid back, feeling a little dizzy from watching Pikachu, and toed his shoes off his feet to get more relaxed. He focused on the sounds of Pikachu running as he closed his eyes to fall into a light meditation. He took deep breaths as he let his Aura senses expand. Pikachu still felt energetic, typical for an electric type, but was finally tiring out enough to relax. The two trainers in the room to the right of theirs were fighting if the way their Auras flared was telling.

The older man two levels down had some chronic pain, and a little girl three rooms down on the floor below Ashs' floor seemed to have gotten exciting news. Ash focused on trying to find any others that he knew and found Gary, feeling focused but depressed, in his room and he could feel Paul moving into a room only to seem to be moving up floors.

'He must be in the elevator,' Ash mused to himself as he kept his focus on his boyfriend. He smiled as Paul came closer to their room and opened his eyes as Paul opened the door. His boyfriend must have been working out as he stepped in wearing a sweat soaked tank top, sneakers, and sweatpants. Paul only ever wore sweatpants if he was working on his arms having claimed that sweatpants were horrible to wear if he was working on cardio.

"Hi," Ash said as Paul closed the door and set his bag down. The taller teen looked over at Ash and gave him a similar greeting before taking his shoes off. Ash watched as Paul grabbed his things to shower and a brilliant idea popped into his head. It had been a while since they fooled around seeing as these battles were taking most of their attention.

They both could use a bit of relaxing since today was a rest day for everyone.

Ash waited until he saw Paul walk into the bathroom and for the shower to turn on before getting up to grab his own things and quietly pushed open the unlatched door. He peered through the crack to see that Paul had gotten under the water and so he took the time that Paul couldn't hear well from the water to undress. The last time they had fooled around Paul didn't let Ash touch him in any way, and Ash was determined to bring Paul pleasure like Paul had given him.

He had been researching as well and he had the perfect idea.

Ash tiptoed into the bathroom once steam filled the room and gently closed the door behind him with a slight noise as the latch clicked. He took a deep breath as he made his way over to the glass door that separated him from Paul and eased it open enough for him to squeeze through the opening and close the door again. Ash licked his lips as he saw the water and shampoo traveling along Pauls' body as Paul rinsed out his hair. He waited until Paul was just about done with his hair, well enough that neither of them were going to get the product in their eyes, to wrap his arms around Pauls' waist. Ash grinned as he felt the muscles jolt under him and peered up to see Pauls' dark eyes peering down at him.

"Hi," Ash said as he once did a few minutes ago.

"Hi," Paul replied as he let his arms fall from where they were to wrap around his smaller boyfriend, "couldn't wait to see me until after I showered, huh?"

Ash shook his head and moved up into his tiptoes to kiss Paul. The smaller male couldn't help the small chuckle that left him as Paul lifted him up a bit and held him tighter. His laughter turned into a moan quickly as Paul pressed him against cool tiles and he had to move his arms to wrap around Pauls' neck to get more comfortable. Ash took a deep breath as Paul moved his kisses down his neck and bit down on the skin he found there.

Ash, having a plan before coming in there, tapped Pauls' shoulder and did his best, when Paul stepped back in question, to move his boyfriend so that Pauls' back was to tiles. Ash, ignoring Pauls' questions, knelt in front of Paul and with his height compared to Pauls' was perfectly leveled with Pauls' hard cock.

"Oh," he heard Paul say as he reached forward and grasped the larger cock in his hand. He wasn't surprised to see that his fingertips didn't touch when they were fully wrapped around Paul, but it was close with only a half inch of space there. Ash looked up for a moment as he began to move his hand. The water thankfully was helping just enough to not make it painful for Paul.

Ash swallowed around the lump in his throat as he ran his thumb over the head of the hard cock in front of him and held back his reaction as he heard Paul let out a soft groan. Wanting more of those sounds, Ash leaned forward as he stuck his tongue out, flattened out, and licked from the base of Pauls' cock to the tip. He groaned softly as he got his first taste of Paul on his tongue and couldn't help but swirl his tongue on the tip of the cock in front of him.

"Ash," Paul groaned, making Ash look up at him as he took the head of Pauls' cock into his mouth. He swallowed the extra saliva his mouth produced and began to suck softly. Ash did his best to put what he had learned on the internet into action as he moved his hand along the rest of the exposed cock. Ash took a deep breath as he felt Pauls' larger hand card through his wet hair and waited a moment to see what Paul was going to do. When his larger boyfriend didn't do anything Ash began to slowly move his head back and forth.

Ash groaned softly and relished in the heavy weight of Pauls' cock in his mouth, and was surprised to find that he liked the feeling. Wanting more of the feeling Ash pushed further down, but was stopped as the head of Pauls' cock touched the back of his throat setting off his gag reflex. He pulled off with a cough and took a few deep breaths.

"Careful baby," Paul said as he moved his hand to rub at Ashs' throat as if that was going to help sooth him, "As much as I would love to see you choke on my cock it might be a bit too much for you right now."

"Paul," Ash whimpered his name softly as he felt his body heat up a bit just from the words.

"You're doing good for your first time baby," Paul groaned out as Ash dove back to get Pauls' cock in his mouth, "you're going to make me cum soon. Such a good boy for me baby. Taking my cock so well."

Ash clenched his eyes tight as he felt his own cock, having not touched it at all, throb desperately in want. He forced himself not to touch his cock as he took Paul as far into his mouth as he dared too. What he wasn't able to get in his mouth he wrapped his hand around to stroke and soon enough he fell into a good rhythm. Ash heard Paul curse and the hand made its way back into his hair, but did nothing but hold on as Ash did all the work.

"I'm gonna cum soon baby," Paul growled out as he did his best to not thrust into Ashs' mouth, "Where do you want it?"

Ash looked up at Paul as he felt the cock in his mouth give a twitch before pulling off it. He kept a steady movement with his hand as he did his best to get his breath back. Ash watched Paul as he got closer to cumming. He watched as Pauls' muscles tensed and relaxed, as Pauls' back arched, and as Pauls' adams apple bobbed. Ash leaned forward and licked and teased the head of Pauls' cock as it steadily let out a stream of clear pre-cum.

"Fuck baby," Paul groaned out lowly and Ash quickly closed his eyes as the first and strongest stream of cum hit his face. Ash moaned at feeling the hot cum on his face and after the third stream hit him he opened his mouth to catch the last few dribbles that came out of Pauls' cock. The taste was salty, but tolerable and Ash could see why people could get addicted to this.

Ash opened his eyes as he felt Pauls' hands on his face and when he looked up at Paul all he could see was a heated look. He felt a tug on his hair and carefully made it to his feet only to be kissed passionately. When Paul pulled back and before Ash opened his eyes all he heard from Paul was praises about how much of a good boy he was and how good it felt.

"Let's get you cleaned up," Paul said softly, "even though I do love seeing my cum all over you." Ash flushed darkly but quickly washed up as he felt the once hot water beginning to cool. As he did so he noticed that he had cum without being touched, and that was surprising since he thought he could only do that when he was touched.

Once they were back in the main room Paul had made Ash sit as he prepared them something light to eat and made sure Ash had a bottle of cold water to sip on as he waited. Pikachu joined Ash on the bed and leaned up to sniff at Ashs' face before letting out a small sneeze.

At least he accomplished what he set out to do as he saw how relaxed Paul looked and felt how relaxed he had gotten.

"Trainers! Release your first pokémon!"

Ash pulled out Luxrays' ball and tossed it into the air to release the large feline who greeted the crowd with a loud roar. While the trainer he was against, Silvia, sent out a Steelix who answered the roar with one of its own.

"Begin!"

Ash yelled for Luxray to dodge as the large steel type sent out a volley of rocks towards the feline. Luxray quickly moved just in time for the rocks to land where she was standing. The lioness ran forward with sparks of electricity dancing across her fur. She sent burst of electricity after burst of electricity towards the large steel snake as she dodged flying rocks and the occasional stream of Dragon Breath.

"Luxray! Hyper Beam!" Ash called out as he saw the Steelixs' body start to light up with power. He had seen this before, but only on television and he hoped that the Hyper Beam would be enough to keep the Steelix from using Explosion. Luxray stopped in her tracks and started gathering energy centered in her mouth. The match up between the two wasn't the greatest and the other trainer must have wanted to end this battle as quick as she could.

"Now!" Ash yelled as he saw the bright ball fully formed in front of Luxray, and with a loud roar, though deafened due to Hyper Beam, released the energy she had been gathering. Luxray dug her claws into the ground to keep herself from getting tossed back from the recoil and had to close her eyes from how bright the beam was.

Ash held his breath as the Hyper Beam met Steelix, who had been blown back into the psychic barrier that protected the audience. He kept his eyes trained on the steel snake, though the light was causing him some problems with that, and saw the moment the Steelix released Explosion. Ash had to cover his ears, much like most of the people in the crowds did, as the move caused several loud bangs along with a large puff of smoke. Luxray, having stopped her Hyper Beam, let out an irritated groan as she laid down to try and place her paws over her ears to make them stop ringing.

Once the noise stopped Ash uncovered his ears, but kept his gaze on the large cloud of dirt that had puffed up in the Explosion. He knew that the Steelix would most likely have fainted, but like with everything there is a very small percent chance that it didn't faint. A loud ticking noise began to sound through the arena and looking up Ash saw that a countdown had started on the screen above them. If Steelix didn't get up before the timer ended, or if Silvia recalled Steelix before the timer finished, then Ash would get the point and the match would continue.

Ash could feel his heart thudding in his chest.

Luxray stood up and shook out her fur, looking a bit tired, but ready to keep fighting.

4

Ash looked over to his opponent and could see Silvia looking at the cloud worried.

3

Murmurs from the crowd reached Ashs' ears, but were muffled and he couldn't hear what they were saying.

2

Ash gripped the railing in front of him as the cloud began to settle and he could just barely see the body of the Steelix laying still.

1

"Come back, Steelix!" Silvia called out and hit the button on the ball before the cloud could fully settle. The timer shut off and a dot appeared by Ashs' name on the screen indicating that Ash was the winner of the first battle.

"Trainer Silvia, release your next pokémon!"

Ash watched as Silvia released her next pokémon and took in a deep breath. The Salamence was old, large, heavily scarred on its thick hide, and to his surprise was albino, much like Charizard is. He hadn't seen any other trainer with an albino, or other genetically mutated, pokémon, only shiny pokémon. Ash wondered if he could get the chance to talk to her after their battle and see if she did anything different than he does with Charizard.

"Luxray, be careful," Ash warned as the Salamence flapped its tattered wings. Luxray let out a snort and shook her fur out again before stepping forward.

"Begin!"

"Salamence! Earthquake!"

Ash gasped at how fast the Salamence was and held onto the railing as a very powerful Earthquake shook the whole stadium after the large dragon hit the ground with its tail. The shaking continued for a few moments before coming to a stop. Ash had to take a deep breath as if felt as though he couldn't breath during the attack and looked down at the arena. The ground was broken in several places and a few chunks of the ground shifted upwards leaving the arena uneven. Ash turned his gaze to where Luxray had stood before the attack and saw her unconscious and with her foot trapped in the earth with her leg bent at an unnatural angle. Even if she was awake, there was no way she could continue the fight.

Ash silently hit the button on Luxrays' ball, recalling the downed feline, and gave her soft words of praise even if she couldn't hear it. He would tell her what he had said when she was awake to hear it. Ash placed her ball back own and reached for Ninetales' ball, who had the advantage, typing wise, against the Salamence, but he was worried that she wouldn't be fast enough. He was worried that it would end up last pokémon versus last pokémon.

"Ninetales, use Ice Beam! Cover the earth!" Ash called out as soon as he released her from her ball, and Ninetales quickly did as she was told. Her quick beam caused the arena to become cold and large spikes of ice to form where she spent a second to long before moving. But it at least did what he wanted it to do. The Salamence, unable to fly due to its wings being so tattered, was stuck on the ground in one place.

"Salamence use Flamethrower to melt the ice!" Silvia called out, but Ninetails sent out a stream of Ice Beam at the old dragon.

"Salamence Outrage!"

Ashs' eyes widened as he saw the Salamence begin to thrash and release stream after stream of Flamethrowers and Dragon Breaths. The ice around it started to melt quickly leaving large puddles of water that were slowly being soaked into the cracked earth. He saw Ninetales dodge a few Flamethrowers and counter with Ice Beam and Blizzard, but the heat from the flames was getting too much for her.

"Ninetales, remember what we've been working on with Charizard?" Ash called out and he saw Ninetales look up at him and nod, "Do it! Ninetales use Sub Zero!"

Ninetales nodded and closed her eyes, not caring for the rampaging dragon across the arena as she focused on the innate power she was able to use. Her mastery over ice was like no other, besides the Legendaries of course, and as a being born of ice, ice she would become. She could feel the air around her become colder and shards of ice began to form in the air. Her breath was visible to the naked eye and the ground beneath her paws were slowly getting covered in ice.

Ninetales opened her eyes, not noticing the bright blue glow to them, and let out a ringing call to the sky much like a howl. The noise reverberated and caused the audience to quiet down leaving only her call and the noise of the rampaging dragon to hear. A second past, then two, before she released the hold she had on her power over ice and with a loud cracking sound the arena was completely covered with ice so cold that just being near it could cause frostbite.

Ninetales panted as she clamped the 'seal' she had over her power closed and blinked a few times to get rid of the ice that covered them. She shook out her fur, making the ice that had formed on each hair, to fall and shatter on the ground. Ninetales looked over, passed the arching structures of ice, to where the dragon was and saw that it was fully encased in a thick block of ice. Her job was done, and she could feel it. She had never released so much energy and now she was tired.

Knowing that her trainer would forgive her, Ninetales let her body fall to the ground and blissfully closed her eyes to get some much needed rest.

"Both pokémon are down! This match is a tie. Would both trainers recall their pokémon?"

Ash, amazed at the aftermath of the move, pressed the button that would recall Ninetales. She did absolutely amazing and he would let her know that. For now he reached for-

"I forfeit!" Silvia called out. Ash looked up quickly to see her standing there with her arms folded over her stomach and that she was looking a bit green and clammy. His ears felt as though they were filled with cotton as the announcer named him winner by forfeiture and he gave her a nod before walking down the stairs. His body felt as though it was on automatic as he walked to the Center in the middle of the stadium to get his pokémon looked at.

He must have been standing there for about ten minutes when Silvia walked up to the desk to hand her pokémon over to get checked. He watched her walk over to one of the table and sit down with a heavy sigh. Ash waited a moment before walking over to her and sitting down across from her. He saw her look up and her topaz colored eyes widened before she looked away.

"I suppose you want to know why I forfeited?" Silvia said after a moment of silence between them.

"If you want to tell me," Ash said, "you don't have to, if you don't want to."

"Then why are you here?" she asked and Ash could see her hand clenching into a fist through the glass table between them.

"To see if you were okay," Ash admitted.

"To see if I was okay?" Silvia asked back as she looked over at him. Ash nodded and stayed quiet as he let her gather her thoughts and to see what she would say. "Why?" Silvia asked, "I'm just a stranger to you."

"Why not?" Ash asked and he saw her deflate a bit as she leaned back into her seat.

"It's stupid," she finally said after a moment, but it was enough to release the floodgates of words that she clearly needed to say, "four years ago my older brother was participating in the conference with Salamence at his side. He was only able to get to Top 64 before his accident. A stupid, stupid accident. It left him dead and Salamence with all the scarring he has. Mom and dad wanted to get rid of Salamence after that. They thought it was Salamences' fault the accident happened, but it wasn't! It was my fault! I was 16, a new trainer, and thought I was this big deal. I talked the big talk to someone and I guess they took it wrong and attacked me. Jonah was walking by and I guess he heard it and stepped in, but they had their Tyranitar out. Jonah let out Salamence and one thing led to another and the trainer told his Tyranitar to use Hyper Beam."

Ash nodded and took her shaking hand into his own. Silvia must have had a flashback when Luxray used her Hyper Beam, but she kept fighting.

"The buildings around us fell," Silvia continued and tightened her grip on Ashs' hand, "I remember Salamence letting out a roar before his tail hit me on my side and threw me back far enough to not get crushed. But he couldn't do the same for Jonah. I remember seeing Salamence settling over Jonah, trying to protect him from the debris, but the buildings were too heavy and he collapsed. I did my best, with Onix helping me out, to get to Jonah. He was awake when I got to him. I held his hand as he tried to speak, but his body was crushed and I guess his lungs were filling up too much with blood to speak any better. I remember hearing him tell me that he loved me and to take care of Salamence and his other pokémon for him. To tell Mom and Dad sorry that he was leaving them too early and that he loved them too. I remember the feeling of his hand going limp in mine and all I could do was scream his name."

"It wasn't your fault," Ash said as he ran a thumb, the only thing he could move on his hand, over her clench fingers, "you did nothing wrong Silvia. The fault lies on the trainer with the Tyranitar."

"I know that now," Silvia said as she gave Ash a small smile, "after years of therapy I can finally say that it wasn't my fault and believe it. I thought that this year would be the year that I would be able to fulfill my brothers' dream of winning the Indigo Plateau Conference with Salamence at my side representing him, but I didn't make it that far."

"That's okay," Ash said after a moment of silence between them and Silvia managed to loosen her grip on his hand, "I think Jonah would be proud of you for getting this far, and this isn't the only time, or only League, you can join."

"You're right," Silvia replied with a small nod, "maybe I'll try again next year."

Ash nodded and heard his name being called over the intercom to come get his pokémon. He bade Silvia a goodbye before giving her his number in case she needed to talk with anyone unbiased to anything she has gone through before getting up to walk over to the counter. After retrieving his pokémon, and waving to Silvia, he walked out of the building and down to the town that the stadium was in. Luxray and Ninetales were going to be just okay according to Nurse Joy, and had fixed them up quickly, but Ash wanted to get them both something nice.

He wandered around the town to see if he could find anything for them when he saw a small mom-and-pop shop that had an assortment of things. The bell above the door dinged as he walked in and he was greeted to the smell of a fresh apple pie. From the back of the store he heard someone walking, and soon enough a short portly lady with glasses and a kind smile appeared.

"Good afternoon deary," she greeted, "welcome, I'm Dorothy, the owner of this little shop. How can I help you?"

"I'm just looking for a few treats for my pokémon. They've done really good work today and I wanted to get them a little reward as a good job," Ash replied and, feeling as if he were in the presence of his own grandmother, smiled.

"Oh that's very kind of you," Dorothy said as she nodded, "I make the treats here every morning. I make them by typing and for any custom treats I do charge a bit more."

"Custom? Like certain flavors or sizes?" Ash asked as Dorothy led him over to a large display on the far wall of the shop. There were treats filling clear containers with a clear label on them all as well as any sort of allergy that could be found in them.

"Of course! I just had a little lady in here getting a treat for her Rapidash who liked sweet and spicy flavored things. So she ordered a customized treat for her pokémon," Dorothy said, "A six inch long baked treat with a tanga and salac berry filling. She picked it up this morning."

Ash nodded as he looked over the treats. There were a few he knew he would get before leaving so he thanked Dorothy and picked up a plastic bag that he could pack the treats in. He put in enough treats to give to all his pokémon and grabbed a few more for the ones at home. As Dorothy made her way to the counter to check him out he spotted a line up of homemade shampoo for pokémon. He was running low and after looking at the ingredient list decided to grab a few bottles in different scents. He also got Luxray a bandanna he thought she might like, and for Ninetales he got her a necklace with ice that would never melt.

Dorothy also told him, once he explained that it was for an Alolan Ninetales, that it was made from ice her granddaughter had gotten, from deep within Mount Lanakila where the Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales come from. He hoped Ninetales loved it. After paying for his things, and promising Dorothy to come back before he left to go home, he left the shop with his backpack heavier. He had just sent a text to Paul that he was on the way back and that it would take a few minutes to reach the hotel they were staying in when he felt his bag getting pulled back.

Ash tried his best to keep his footing, but wasn't able to and fell into the space between the two buildings. He gasped as he felt his elbow explode in pain as he landed on it, but before he could move on his own the person that pulled on him was on top of him. Ash stared up at an, unfortunately, familiar face as large hands wrapped around his neck causing him to struggle to breath. He reached up to try and pry the hands off only to only be able to scratch the hands. He tried to reach down next to grab one of his pokéballs, and cursed in his head that he wasn't able to get to one as the person strangling him blocked him with his knee. He cursed the fact that he had asked Pikachu to stay with Paul during the fight since they weren't allowed any extra pokémon out of their ball in the arena.

He stared into those green eyes even as his own vision faded into blackness and his struggles slowed to a stop.
