My heart-felt apologies for the late update! I was struck down with pharyngitis during the first 2 weeks of last month, and after recovering, I was besieged with office work that kept me off the computer and thus my progress was slowed down and got delayed, but nevertheless, I managed to complete it and here it is…the latest chapter.
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 the story goes forward following its climax as Ash is plagued with revelations in regards to the aftermath of the Mosley Sudden affair, and this will result in a moral battle, as to whether Ash is willing to adopt in stooping on Sudden's level or not. This may be Ash's moment to shine, unless…
Either way, this chapter will serve as a filler before moving to the next arc.
Well, enjoy!
Ch. 22: Ugoku
The scene shifts at Team Rocket HQ, where Cassidy and Siam showed to Giovanni about what they recorded, and what Mosley Sudden was doing all this time before being killed off, and Giovanni and Butch stared in surprise upon watching the footage, where it showed that Sudden reveals himself as Pincer Knight and engaged a fight with Dark Knight, where the battle appeared to be even until he managed to pin down his target.
Giovanni was watching the footage from the start, and he stared intently as he watched the scenes with serious interest and curiosity, where the footage showed what went on several hours ago.
-x-x-x-
"Back off, kid. That guy's mine."
"No, I'm facing him!"
"You can't. and you can't do it."
"Why not?"
"You want to fight him because you're so pissed off, and that would lead to your defeat. You should fight him only because you're a Poke-Fighter."
"But…"
"Now back off and watch…maybe you can learn a thing or two…"
"…"
Sudden sighed seeing that Ren wants to go ahead first, and decided to accept it, and shoved Ash aside as he made it clear that this will be a one-on-one battle, but told Ash to be patient as he will kill Ren and Ash will be next, in which Ren brought out his black-colored Poke-Ball and displayed it to Sudden, and the two are staring off as they held their Poke-Ball in front of each other, where a metallic belt appeared and fastened around their waists, and chanted their phrases in preparation for the battle.
"Poke-Ride!"
"Poke-Ride"
Doing their transformation poses, the two men are encased in their armors, where they became Pincer Knight and Dark Night respectively, and there the two armored Poke-Fighters began to brawl, in which it became quite intense and violent. And there Cassidy and Siam stared wide-eyed in surprise, as this was the first time they saw anything like this.
Moreover, they are now convinced that Sudden cannot be trusted and they decided to continue recording the scene so as to let Giovanni know about what they discovered as well as to know what the secret lie in this battle.
"Did you get that, Siam?"
"Yes."
"Keep on recording. The boss need to see this."
"Yeah…and what Sudden is capable of…"
"That guy…I knew he can't be trusted."
"Looks like the boss is going to regret ever hiring that guy."
"And how did Sudden managed to get those stuff?"
"Let's watch and observe."
By then the two Poke-Fighters summoned their Pokemon, and each of them commanded their Pokemon to provide them weapons.
"Dark Wing…Wing Lancer!"
"Volcancer…Claw Cutter!"
Volcancer's body glowed and Pincer Knight is fitted with a huge crab pincer while Dark Wing swooped across them and dropped the Wing Lancer and Dark Knight went into battle, where they clashed their weapons at each other, determined to get an opening, and soon Pincer Knight uses the crab pincer to pin his opponent to the ground, and there Dark Knight gives his Pokemon a command.
"Dark Wing…Sonic Wave!"
"SSSKKKRREEE!"
Dark Wing swoops down and did a sonic shriek, causing Pincer Knight to feel dizzy and back off, which Dark Knight gets up and tries to get an opening, and while at it, Ash is forced to watch, where he realized that Ren may have indirectly stopped him from facing Pincer Knight, as the 14-year old boy would have lost himself and ended up becoming a ruthless person like Sudden.
Back at the battle, Dark Knight knelt down as he is again being pinned by Pincer Knight's pincer, but he uses his arm to protect himself and uses the Wing Lancer to stab his opponent on the abdomen, which caused Pincer Knight to back away at a considerable distance, and there Dark Knight gives his Pokemon a command.
"Dark Knight…Death Drill!"
Dark Knight ran towards his opponent as Dark Wing swoops down and attaches itself onto its master's back, and the bat wings turned into a cloak that was flapping behind, and this in turn prompted Pincer Knight to give his Pokemon a command which Volcancer willingly obliges.
"Volcancer…Springboard Assault!"
As Volcancer stood behind its master, Dark Knight jumped high in the air, and then descends, where the cape wrapped around him and formed a spinning drill-like spear, and Pincer Knight jumped onto Volcancer's arms and jumped, then curled his body and he looked like a ball and spins upward where he and Dark Knight collided, where an explosion occurred, and there Pincer Knight landed on his feet, seemingly unharmed, while Dark Knight landed badly as Dark Wing is laid on the ground, stunned.
Pincer Knight gloated that he achieved victory, and said that he has won the fight and is glancing at Ash, where he told him that he is next.
"Looks like I won. Ash Ketchum…brace yourself."
"…"
"You're next."
"You…"
"What's wrong? Weren't you pumped up and hyped a while ago?"
"I…"
"Don't tell me you got cold feet…."
"…"
However, the Poke-Ball on his belt shattered and fell to the ground, thus his armor dissipated and he is unarmed, which baffled Sudden. Unknown to him, Dark Knight struck Sudden's abdomen earlier in the fight, which slowly caused a crack on his belt, and the collision they did earlier finally caused the Poke-Ball to crack further until it became too damaged beyond repair.
Sudden is not pleased, yet he is confident that he can still command Volcancer and ordered him to eat Ash alive, but then the Pokemon did not seem to respond as it showed that it is getting more hungry and is salivating is front of Sudden.
"Volcancer! Eat that boy…then eat this guy!"
"Rrr…"
"What?"
"Rrr…"
"Aren't you listening to me? I order you to eat that boy!"
"Rrr…"
"Are you disobeying me now?"
"Rrr…!"
As Sudden tries to assert his authority over Volcancer and orders him to attack the unarmed Ash, the Pokemon instead grabbed Sudden, and began to rip off his flesh, exposing his internal organs and began to bite him by the neck, causing Sudden to scream out in pain as the Pokemon began to eat him alive, ignoring the screams of Sudden as he is being consumed, where his head was severed and fell to the ground as the crab Pokemon continued to eat off the body's organs.
-x-x-x-
Butch was in a state of disbelief and asks Cassidy and Siam if the footage they brought is real, in which Siam berated him for doubting, reiterating that the footage is real and pointed out that he and Cassidy managed to come back here in one piece after Volcancer fired several explosive bubbles which nearly killed the two Team Rocket members.
"What? Are you color-blind or something? How can you say the footage is not real?"
"Look, Siam, I…"
"What you see is the real deal! Be thankful Cassidy and I managed to come back here intact!"
"Look, I…"
"The footage is real! That's the fact! Now why is the footage incomplete? Well, sorry…the bubbles that the Pokemon spit exploded, and we almost got ripped off!"
"Seriously?"
"You still doubt us?"
"Well excuse me for being skeptical, but…"
Giovanni then told Butch and Siam to stop bickering, and he asks Cassidy what happened after, as the footage was cut off and did not show what happened after, in which she explained that the explosive bubbles that Volcancer spits out damaged the video camera, but she managed to save the tape, and apologized, stating that she and Siam were forced to run after the Pokemon went on a rampage, and failed to find out what happened after.
Giovanni sighed and said that what he discovered is something proved to be of value, and he directed her, Butch and Siam to go and find Ash, and have his movements monitored, while telling another Team Rocket member to stealthily find out who instructed Sudden to attack Ash without Giovanni's permission, which the Team Rocket member obliges.
"You…listen carefully…"
"Yes…"
"Find out who used my likeness to order an unauthorized move on Ash Ketchum."
"Yes, boss…"
"And don't let anyone besides us here to know I made the order so as to catch the fool off-guard."
"As you command"
"Good. Go."
"At once."

Several days later, the scene shifts at a hotel, where Ash and his friends are staying, where yesterday, after Ash defeated a gym leader and gaining another badge, he and his friends came across a five-star hotel where a robbery is in progress, and Ash directed Pikachu to use Thunderbolt while Serena uses her Pokemon to set off the sprinklers, drenching the robbers, and with Thunderbolt, the robbers were electrocuted into submission, and the rest is history, with Ash and his friends rewarded by having a free three days-two nights stay.
And the time now is 20:30.
While Clement is at the lobby chasing Bonnie as she is at her usual modus, Ash is at the balcony watching the skies, and he appeared to be haunted by the events that befell Mosley Sudden, and it was something he could not seem to shake off and he is forced to recall what transpired several days ago, which made him feel very uneasy.
-FLASHBACK-
After Volcancer ate its master, the Pokemon is now approaching Dark Knight, and he gets up and brandishes his lance and defends himself, but he was still disoriented from the collision if their finishing attacks with Pincer Knight, which allowed Volcancer to repulse his target, then spits out explosive bubbles which sends Dark Knight thrown back.
By then Ash made his move and transforms into Drago-Knight, and summoned Dragredder and has the Pokemon spit out several fireballs which sent Volcancer reeling back, and there Drago-Knight glanced at the ground, seeing the headless, disemboweled and bloodied corpse of Sudden laid there, and Drago-Knight appeared to be shaken, after seeing Sudden being disemboweled earlier.
He then made a tandem move with Dragredder where Dragredder performed the Dragon Ride, in which it breathes a wave of flames behind Drago-Knight, propelling him forward and did a flying kick which he is filled with flames, and struck Volcancer down, resulting in the crab-Pokemon exploding, and nothing was left except for its LIFE ESSENCE, which was floating, and as Dragredder is poised to consume it, Drago-Knight appeared hesitant.
However, Dark Wing, who just recovered, swoops up and took the energy, strengthening the bat-Pokemon, and there Dark Knight chided Drago-Knight for hesitating, reminding him that this is a REAL TOURNAMENT, where people and Pokemon fight for real...a life or death situation, and told him that power is power, and he must amass it if he wants to survive in the end, which made Drago-Knight baffled at what he was told.
"Why do you hesitate?"
"I…"
"Open your damn eyes already…this is real…person and Pokemon against another tandem…to win you must fight till the very end…and remember…after you defeated a Pokemon…take its life essence while you can…it will make your Pokemon stronger. Power is power…so there is no room for hesitation…or else you will be left behind and end up getting killed."
"You can't expect me to kill someone for…"
"Kill or be killed…that's the ultimate rule of a Poke-Fighter. Sudden should have realize that the moment he accepted Clandestine's offer."
"…"
"You and him are the first to show up…that leaves 10 more to face…"
"What…?"
Ren deactivated his armor and leaves after telling him that 11 more will soon appear, and that, like Sudden, they too are willing to kill in order to win, and this made Ash, who also deactivated his armor, clenched his fists upon being told that he will also encounter more person who may have the same desire as Sudden.
-END FLASHBACK-
Ash is troubled by this and wondered what he should do next, but his thoughts was interrupted when Serena went by his side, and noted that he appeared to be troubled, and she asks him what is troubling him. Ash was hesitant to tell her as he recalled that she was indirectly dragged in because of Sudden, but she smiled and said that she is willing to listen and would help him in any way she could.
After a few minutes of hesitation, Ash told Serena what he went through in the past weeks, and while surprised at what she was told, it slowly made sense and she tells Ash not to let Ren's words bother him, saying that he did nothing wrong for Ash is not a person who reeks of blood-thirsty violence, and that he is the person that she fell for...kind, down-to-earth, and a pacifist.
"Serena…"
"Hey, you've been through a lot the moment you went on a journey…"
"…"
"You made it this far…from Pallet town to Lumiose…you met a lot of people…rivals, friends…gym trainers..Pokemon…you made it through up to this point."
"Yeah…I did…"
"Then don't stop there…keep going forward…you are who you are…don't let others dictate you…you know what you are…and only you can decide what you should do…"
"You're right…"
"See…?"
Serena told him not to waver because of what he is told and that he has gotten past situations before, so he should be okay and should continue on what he believed in, that violence is never the primary solution and that all he has to do is do what he does best.
Those words slowly helped Ash raised his spirits, and smiled as he thanked Serena for helping him which she smiled and said that it is nothing, and he felt relieved, in which he hugged as she did the same, where the two teens stare at each other, and Ash is again drawn to her upon staring at her face, and unknowingly lean closer, which she is mentally pleased with it and the two slowly kissed, in which it was full of innocence.
After a few minutes Ash was mentally preoccupied, as emotions coursed through his mind, and he appeared unaware of what he is doing as he began kissing her cheek in a gentle way before kissing his way towards her neck, which Serena titled her head to give him access, and as the 14-year old boy gently necking her, she slowly took his hand and had it caress her thigh, as she is wearing a short night dress, while it is shown that Ash is wearing a loose speedo, and there Serena's hand began to caress his crotch area until a STRAIGHT TENT is formed.
Ash moaned through the kiss as he is unknowingly aroused, and gently held her hand and have it rub the bulge on his speedo, feeling his penis throb harder and harder, and his body is craving for more, as he took Serena's hand and guided it inside his speedo, where she pushed them down a bit and freed the boy's arousal, where you can see it pointing a bit upward, FULLY SHAVED, and throbbing.
He moaned through the kiss as her hand grasped the boy's erection and rubbed it up and down, feeling it throb harder and harder and his hips began to move, and both were moaning softly as Ash removed her night dress, and she guided his face towards her breasts he took a nipple on his lips, exploring her.
"Mmm…"
"Ahhh~h…"
"Mmm…"
"Ahh…Ash…"
"…"
"Ahh…ahh…"
"Mmm…"
"Ash…ahh~h…"

Meanwhile, the scene shifts at a resto-bar, where two men, both aged 19, are there, one appeared depressed as you can see both his hands bandaged and bloodstains are visible as he attempts to play a piano, and the other guy looks on in concern and sympathy, seeing his friend suffering emotionally as it is revealed that he is a talented pianist and is slated to join the competition, but a mugger assaulted them and the pianist, who suffered the most.
The end result is that most of the bones in both his hands were shattered that he could no longer play the piano. Beside the pianist was a black-colored Poke-ball, which dropped to the floor, accidentally releasing a gold-colored, human-sized lobster-looking Pokemon identified as Goldthunder, and the Pokemon went towards a drainage, ripping off the bars and went under, but then uses its tentacles to grab the pianist by his neck and is pulling him under.
The pianist's friend saw this and held his friend, trying to pull him away from Goldthunder, but the Pokemon succeeded and pulled the pianist inside the drainage, where the pianist screamed and blood spurts upward, which shocked some onlookers upon seeing the carnage, causing them to flee in horror, fearing for their lives, thinking that a wild animal did this though they are unaware that a Pokemon did this and are screaming in terror.
"KKKYYYAAAHHH!"
"BLOOD!"
"THERE'S A SHARK!"
"A PIRANHA!"
"LET ME OUT OF HERE!"
"HELP!"
"CALL THE PEST CONTROL!"
"OUT OF MY WAY!"
As the resto-bar is empty due to the customers fleeing in panic, the pianist's friend was kneeling next to the drainage, holding a flashlight and looked down there, seeing no trace of the pianist's body, only a lot of bloodstain, and he realized the fate that has befallen his friend and screams out in anguish, while the black-colored Poke-ball, which is now empty, laid beside him as he screams out his friend's name in anguish and anger.
"ULYSSES! ULYSSES! ULYSSES! RRAAAGGGHH!"
To Be Continued...
