Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here you will get to see a rather unsanctioned Pokemon battle, where not only will Ash put his badges on the line, as well as a new character is introduced where he would become a recurring character, and this is where the first instance which Ash would get to see a Pokemon battle where one is willing to bend the rules and show what happens when one abuses the POWER he/she possesses.
Moreover, a new entrant came in and is seemingly going to help Ash...is is he...?
This is where things are about to get intense. Well, read on and enjoy!
At the town square, Clement and Bonnie had just arrived after doing some shopping though he gently reprimanded his younger sister for going off on her own, which she smiled and apologized, promising that she will control herself next time, but hilarity ensued when a group of pretty teenagers passed by and Bonnie approached them and asks them to marry her elder brother, which Clement stared wide-eyed much to the girls' bemusement as the sibling began to bicker among themselves.
"Bonnie!"
"What?"
"What are you doing?"
"What else? Finding you a girlfriend!"
"Will you knock it out?"
"Come on...at least I'm helping you..."
"There's no need for that!"
"Geez..."
However, Pancham arrived and told the two siblings about the situation, which Clement and Bonnie became worried upon hearing what they were told about Ash and Serena in trouble.
"What?"
"Are you serious, Pancham?"
"Pamcham! Pancham!"
"This is bad...!"
"We got to find Ash and Serena!"
"Pancham!"
"Really? You know where they are?"
"Then take us there!"
"Pancham!"
Not wasting any time, Clement and Bonnie followed Pancham, as the Pokemon leads the siblings to where Ash and Serena are located,mand they hoped that they are make it in time, worried what might befall their friends and hoped that Team Rocket is not involved in any of this.

Meanwhile, the scene shifts at the forest where it showed that Ash struggles to get up after getting hit by Hitmonlee, and there Fatso took out another Pokeball and summoned Hitmonchan and Machamp, and ordered them to beat up Ash, and the Pokemon trainer was taken by surprise as he was being beaten up and bordering assault, which he screamed at Fatso for breaking the rules, which Fatso cruelly said that before their duel there was no rule about letting a Pokemon attack his opponent's master, thus anything goes and the battle continues, and Ash is angry at Fatso's underhanded tactics and told Pikachu to unleash Thunderbolt, which Pikachu did, though Hitmonchan and Machamp were able to dodge it, but then Serena screamed where it showed that Machoke is holding her in a reverse armbar and headlock, and you can see her Pokeballs scattered on the ground, thus she is unable to summon her Pokemon, and the distraction allowed Hitmonlee to beat up Pikachu into submission and Machoke and Hitmonchan beats up Ash into submission, and Ash angrily reprimanded Fatso for this yet the obese man snickered as he took Ash's badges and Pokeballs stating he has won the fight.
"Looks like I won the match."
"You loser! You cheated!"
"Either way...I won...and these badges are as good ad mine!"
"Blast you! And you even used a hostage!"
"All is fair in love and war...and yet you agreed to this match without making some rules...so...anything goes."
"Let go of me!"
"Sorry...but after this...I want to stay as champion...so it would be best to have you taken out...for good."
"What?"
Fatso then ordered Machoke to break Ash's back, intending to have him get paralyze on the waist down so he becomes a paraplegic, which Serena shouted at Fatso to stop, but he laughed cruelly and said that after Ash, she would be next, and just as Machoke is about to do so, someone came and appeared, surprising everyone and the person who appeared was the guy who saw Ash earlier, and there the man confronted Fatso, telling him that he found out that Fatso is using illegal means to challenge other trainers, using underhanded tactics to win and take his opponents' badges, torturing the trainers until they became paraplegic and leaving them at the forests to die, and stealing their Pokeballs that contain Pokemon and selling them on the black market.
Fatso appeared to be surprised that someone found out about his MO, and the man who confronted Fatso then issued a challenge. He is identified as Ren Akinson, and he took out a Pokeball to show that he mean business, yet Fatso appeared confident seeing that the meddler has only one Pokeball, meaning that Ren only has one Pokemon.
Fatso tries to psyche Ren by asking him what does he want, but Ren reiterated that he found out about his modus operandi, showing it by pointing out that Fatso has his Pokemon attacking Ash and uses Serena as a hostage so Ash won't be able to fight back, and then intends to make the two teens get beaten up until they became paraplegic and leave them to die by being attacked by wild Pokemon, and Fatso was sweating a bit seeing that Ren somehow discovered his plans.
Ren then taunted Fatso seeing him getting a bit nervous and said that he is now ruined and his reputation was already tainted from the very start.
"Looks like your cover is exposed."
"Y-you...!"
"Give it up."
"What?"
"Release those kids...return their Pokeballs...and turn yourself in."
"And you think I'm gonna do that? Never!"
"Your funeral."
"Machoke!"
By then Serena screamed in pain as Machoke is about to break her back, and there Ren activated his Pokeball to summon his Pokemon.
"Darkwing!"
The Pokemon emerged and it was a flying-type, which resembled a mechanical bat, identified as Darkwing, and Ren ordered his Pokemon to free Serena, and Darkwing made a quick swoop and rammed Machoke, knocking the Pokemon down and this allowed Serena to get away, and Fatso is not pleased with this and ordered Machoke to attack Ren and kill him, intending to kill everyone in sight to avoid witnesses spilling the beans on his modus operandi.
"Machoke! Get up now!"
"Machoke..."
"Kill that asshole!"
"Machoke..."
"Kill him in any way and kill those kids!"
"Machoke..."
"And I mean it now!"
"Machoke..."
As Machoke is about to attack, Ren made his move and gives his order to Darkwing.
"Darkwing...Wing Lancer!"
"Sssskkkkrrrreee...!"
Darkwing screeches as the bat-Pokemon glowed and dropped an item which Ren grabbed it, which turns out to be a sword-like lance, and he immediately engages Machoke in combat, and did several sword strikes and stabs, and Ash stared in shock seeing that Ren was actually inflicting injuries at Machoke, where it showed that the attacking Pokemon had several puncture and stab wounds and is bleeding outright, but Fatso is livid seeing that Machoke is losing and ordered the Pokemon to attack no matter what, angering Ash seeing that Fatso is treating his Pokemon like slaves and tools.
"Hey!"
"What?"
"Call off your Pokemon! He's already hurt!"
"Jerk off, you brat!"
"Blast you! Are you seriously going to sacrifice your Pokemon?"
"You got a problem with that?"
"And you call yourself a Pokrmon trainer?"
"Shut your mouth, you dickhead! I can do any way I want...and that includes killing you!"
Fatso shot back at Ash verbally saying that he does not care at all saying that the Pokemon in his possession are nothing more than tools to him, and instead told the boy to worry about staying alive as he intends to kill everyone here, and ordered Machoke to kill Ren, and the Pokemon obediently obliges despite the injuries he got, and went towards Ren to make an attack but Ren dodges the punches and tackle, and he found an opening when he tripped Machoke, and the Pokemon hits the ground, and there Ren raises his lance and stabbed the Pokemon from behind, puncturing its back and the tip of the lance pierced through the front of the neck, killing the Pokemon.
Ash was horrified at this and confronted Ren, asking why he had to kill the Pokemon when are are other ways to disable it without killing, but Ren coldly rebukes him, telling him that in situations like this, he has to be firm and use whatever and any means to survive, pointing out that Fatso is willing to kill anyone to prevent the truth from being exposed, and this cause Ash to berate him for killing a Pokemon just because he did not think of other means to defeat it through less brutal means.
"What you did was cruel!"
"And you think you can survive just by playing goody-two-shoes?"
"..."
"You are now in a life or death situation...and there are two ways...either you kill or be killed."
"No...you can't...!"
"If you can't understand that, then quit being a Pokemon trainer. You saw it already...Fatso is ready to kill you and your friend...and you still want to act nice and preach your Pokemon gospel?"
"That's..."
"Go...leave...or else Fatso gets a chance to kill you."
As Ash and Ren had a stare-off, an livid Fatso ordered his remaining Pokemon to charge at the two targets and made his orders clear that both Ash and Ren are killed on the spot and not to let them get away from the forest.
"Hitmonchan...Hitmonlee...Machamp...get them...kill them...make sure they canmot escape the forest!"
"Hitmonchan..."
"Hitmonlee..."
"Machamp..."
"And I mean it...snap their necks if you have too...don't let them get too close to their Pokemon! I order you!"
"Hitmonchan..."
"Hitmonlee..."
"Machamp..."
The three Pokemon did as their master ordered and they went towards the two targets, and Ren saw them heading their way so he pushed Ash aside and uses the lance to block Machamp's punch, and then blocked Hitmonlee's flying kick, but the impact sent Ren staggering backwards and Hitmonchan delivered a lucky punch that sent him falling to the ground, and there the three Pokemon turn their attention towards Ash, and the 14-year old is in a bind as he is too hurt to run by himself, as the three Pokemon are inching towards their next target.
"Darn..."
"Hitmonchan..."
"Hitmonlee..."
"Machamp..."
"Pikachu is down...my Pokeballs are far from my reach...!"
"Hitmonchan..."
"Hitmonlee..."
"Machamp..."
Ren managed to get up and gives his Pokemon another command.
"Darkwing...Sonic Wave!"
"Sssskkkrrrreee...!"
Darkwing swoops fown and emitted a sonic sound which causes the three Pokemon to feel dizzy, and there Darkwing rammed Machamp, causing him to tumble down and lay on top of Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, much to Fatso's shock and irritation, and there Ren gives his Pokemon another command, as he is getting ready to make his move.
"Darkwing...Death Drill!"
"Ssskkkrrreee...!"
Ash watches on as Ren ran towards the three fallen Pokemon, and both Ash and Fatso stared in surprise as Darkwing ran towards Ren, its legs grapple onto Ren's shoulders while its wings TURNED into a cloak, flapping behind, and Ren began to jump upwards and after reaching his desired height, Ren descends downward, holding his lance downward and the cape began to expand and wrapped around him, forming a human-sized drill and descends towards the three Pokemon, and then struck them, causing an explosion which the impact sends Fatso back, and as the smoke cleared, Darkwing got off Ren's back and returned to his master's Pokeball, and you can see the ground forming a crater and there were no traces of the three Pokemon, and Ash was horrified to see that Ren just killed three Pokemon in cold blood. He confronted Ren and asks him if that was necessary.
"Why?"
"Huh?"
"Why did you do that? There has to be another way!"
"Kid...you're far too green to train a Pokemon."
"What did...you say...?"
"You nearly got killed...Fatso is about to harm your female friend...and you still want to act nice?"
"But..."
"Outside the Pokemon gyms...anything goes...every person is capable of acting like an extremist...they will use any means to win...and they will not hesitate to kill. Jab that into your small skull."
Ash was quite livid at this, yet he chose not to argue with him and is mustering the strength to move further, and Fatso, who is sitting on the ground, is trembling in fear, as hr now lost all of his Pokemon and is begging for mercy, and offered to return all of the badges he won through cheating, yet Ren is not interested and suggested to him that he turn himself in to the police, which Fatso finds himself hesitant to do so.
Not far, Serena, Clement and Bonnie stood there, and they expressed muted shock after seeing what Ren did to the three Pokemon, but then a new situation took place as the dragon-like Pokemon appeared, and is roaring towards the three persons, which Ash recognized as the Pokemon he previously seen, while Ren is taken by surprise as he never seen a Pokemon of such a massive size as it resembled a Chinese dragon.
