"Thoughts'
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon
May let what Ash said sink in for a moment before she ran up to Ash and hugged him squealing like a happy little kid. "Oh thank you Ash! I have wanted to re-travel Hoenn with you guys for so long!"
Ash returned May's hug happy that his girlfriend was excited to return to her home region. "So Ash, who do you have to meet before you leave?" Dawn asked getting everyone's attention.
"Well I obviously need to go get Cilan, and the other person only May will know." Hearing this May looked at Ash. "Really Ash who is it?" Ash wagged his finger at May "You'll see when they get here." Iris looked at Ash and sighed pinching the bridge of her nose "Dammit Ash all these secrets and surprises are getting on my nerves. You're starting to act like a little." Ash looked at Iris and glared "Don't you dare finish that sentence." Seeing that Ash was getting pissed Iris decided not to finish what she was saying.
"Well girls I'm hitting the sack I'll see you in the morning." The girls all looked at Ash and said "K goodnight Ash, we love you." Ash looked back at his girls and smiled "Love you girls to."
(One Week Later)
"Ok girls I'll be back in a couple days make sure to train and stay out off trouble." As Ash says this he releases Garchomp. The girls all wave goodbye to Ash as he flies off into the morning sun.
A few hours later Ash landed outside the Battle Tower. He looked at the towering building with fond memories. "Well Anabel, lets see if you still remember me?" Ash then puts on a bandanna to cover his face and uses his aura to change his eye color to blue, and the he walks into the Battle Tower.
Anabel was sitting in her room in the Battle Tower. She was doing what she did most days, thinking about Ash. Even though Ash was only in her life for a short time, he left such a lasting imprint on her mind. Ash was the only boy who had caught her attention. When he shook her hand she could have sworn she felt electricity shoot up her spine. As Anabel was reminiscing her time with Ash one of her assistants came into her room.
"Salon Maiden?" Anabel turned towards her assistant and smiled "Yes?" The assistant pointed towards the door "You have a challenger." This surprised Anabel she hadn't heard of any new trainers taking on the Battle Frontier from Scott. "Ok lets get this started then."
As Anabel walked onto the field and got a good look at her opponent she felt a familiar electricity shoot through her body, one only caused by Ash. But she hadn't seen Ash in almost 7 years, and why would he be challenging the Frontier again anyway?" The mystery challenger looked at Anabel with stunning electric blue eyes that shocked Anabel, but she composed herself, she had a battle to fight after all.
"What is your name challenger?" The mystery man looked at the official and said "When I win I will tell you my name." This comment kinda upset Anabel, was this guy this confident he was gonna beat her, she gave the mystery trainer a hard glare. Ash looked at Anabel "Well I guess that plan to get her fired up worked."
"This will be an official three on three battle between Salon Maiden Anabel and the unnamed challenger." Anabel gave her challenger one last glare before calling out her first Pokemon. "Alakazam my friend I need your assistance." Anabel's loyal Alakazam appeared in front of Ash and looked as strong as ever. "Well at least she hasn't been slaking." Ash thought as he called out his Pokemon. "Greninja I choose you." Anabel was shocked she had never seen this Pokemon before, this was gonna be a tough battle for her.
"Alakazam vs. Greninja begin!" Ash gave Anabel one last look before he switched into battle mode and focused solely on the fight in front of him. "Greninja start off with Hydro Pump." Greninja gathered up its energy and fired a massive torrent of water at Alakazam. "Alakazam use Teleport." Alakazam glowed white then disappeared from sight. "Greninja sense where Alakazam will appear and use Dark Pulse." Greninja closed it's eyes and focused on where Alakazam will reappear. "Alakazam reappear and use Shadow Ball." Greninja sensed the air distort around him. He spun around with amazing speed and launched a point blank Dark Pulse sending Alakazam flying into the wall in serious pain. Anabel was shocked this Pokemon could tell where they would end up teleporting making that move useless, and it's speed was incredible. "Alakazam use Psychic." Alakazam's eyes glowed blue, but instead of being lifted off the ground Greninja stood defiantly. Anabel could't contain her shock, "But how?" Ash smirked "Greninja has the ability Protean, which makes it the same type as the move it uses." Anabel was stunned, this Pokemon had the ability to change its type just by using a move.
"Greninja keep up the pressure use Ice Beam." Greninja faced Alakazam who was still recovering from the Dark Pulse and released an extremely powerful Ice Beam freezing Alakazam in a block of ice. The official looked Alakazam over and made his call.
"Alakazam is unable to battle, Greninja wins." Ash silently returned Greninja and grabbed another ball from his belt. Anabel was stunned Alakazam one of her strongest hadn't even landed a hit against Greninja. Composing herself Anabel called out her next companion. "Metagross my friend I need you." Metagross materialized and glared at Ash. Ash simply glared back and called out his Pokemon. "Sceptile I choose you." Anabel was relieved at least this was a Pokemon she knew.
"Metagross vs. Sceptile begin!" Ash looked at Sceptile and asked "You wanna take this one buddy?" Sceptile grinned and turned towards Metagross. "Lets see if all your training has paid off Sceptle. Lets see if you can battle without my command." Ash the smirked at Anabel "Sceptile is gonna be doing this one alone." Anabel was confused, but shook it off as this growing ego.
Before Anabel could even issue a command Sceptile was simply gone. "Where the hell did it go!" Anabel thought with much worry. Then suddenly Sceptile appeared above and crossed it's arms forming a powerful looking X-Scissor. The attack landed causing Metagross to scream in pain. Sceptile then appeared in front of Ash again grinning. "Wow Sceptile I knew you were fast, but not that fast," Ash stated astounded by Sceptile's speed. "Metagross get up and use Bullet Punch." Metagross' arm glowed a bright white before it shot towards Sceptile at incredible speed. As Sceptile jumped to dodge the attack Metagross made quick adjustment in the attack and hit Sceptile in the chest. Sceptile grunted in pain, the move had hurt Sceptile's pride more than it physically hurt him. Behind Sceptile Ash said "Tsk tsk Sceptile that was sloppy you were to confident and underestimated your opponent. Don't let it happen again," Ash says this with a very stern voice. Sceptile simply nods acknowledging its mistake.
Again before Anabel could react Sceptile had vanished again. "Uhhhh not this again, Metagross try to find where it is and use Hyper Beam." Metagross focused its four brains trying to calculate where Sceptile would appear. Suddenly Metagross spun quickly around and fired off Hyper Beam. However Sceptile had predicted this, and as if in slow motion Sceptile spun under the Hyper Beam and threw a Focus Blast right in Metagross' face. Sceptile then slides under Metagross and stands up on Ash's side. When the smoke cleared Metagross stood completely still with swirls in its eyes.
"Metagross is unable to battle, Sceptile wins!" Anabel was shocked, she was getting absolutely dominated by this mystery guy, and that damn smirk she knew he was wearing was pissing her off. Anabel called out her last and most loyal Pokemon. "Espeon my friend I need your help." Ash grinned it was time to show Anabel just how strong he has gotten. "Well Salon Maiden this has been fun, but I believe its time I win this. Xerneas I choose you." What came out of the ball scared the shit out of Anabel. Another Pokemon she had never seen before, and this one look so powerful too.
The official was stunned he knew exactly who this Pokemon was he had to it was his job, but he was still stunned none the less. "Espeon vs. Xerneas begin!" Ash gave Anabel a sympathetic look. "Why is he looking at me like that?" I didn't take her long to figure out why. "Xerneas use Moonblast." Xerneas grunted and gathered a large pink sphere of pure fairy aura and launched it directly at Espeon. The attack hit Espeon and sent it straight into the wall knocked out in one attack.
"E-Es-Espeon is unable to battle, Xerneas wins." Anabel was flabbergasted, her Espeon was taken out in one hit by the mystery Pokemon. She sighed, returned Espeon, and walked towards her challenger. "Sorry I used my legendary one you." Anabel was surprised that thing was a legend, she was now in awe at the mystery man in front of her. "Well that was an amazing battle I've never been so badly beaten before." Anabel then shook the man's hand, then she felt it, that shock coursed through her body agian. "Here is the Ability Symbol sir." Ash looked towards the symbol and shook his head. "I already have all the symbols." This surprised Anabel. "Then why the hell did you challenge me and destroy my Pokemon?" Ash looked at Anabel and laughed. "What a guy can't check up on his friends." Anabel raised an eyebrow at the man, what was he getting at? "Aww come on Anabel you can sense people's and Pokemon's thoughts and emotions, but you can't tell when one of your friends is standing right in front of you." Anabel was confused further "I'm sorry sir, but I don't know you." Ash's shoulders sagged a little, "Does this help you remember?" Ash then stops his aura flow and his eyes return to their soft brown color.
Anabel's heart skipped a beat when she saw those eyes, was it really him? She reached for the man's bandanna and pulled it down. She gasped when she saw the man's face, he was much older and more handsome, but it was Ash for sure. "Ash?" Anabel said still in shock. Ash simply grinned "Who else." Anabel then rushed forward and hugged Ash so tightly it knocked the wind out of him. Ash returned the hug and started stroking Anabel's head as she sobbed into his chest, "Jeez she really did miss me," Ash thought with a hint of guilt.
"Ash I can't believe its really you. I have missed you so much." Anabel said as she continued to cry into his chest. "I missed you to Anabel." Upon hearing this Anabel gained the courage to tell Ash her feelings. "Ash I love you please don't leave me again." Ash grabbed Anabel's chin and made her look at him. "I love you too Anabel." He then leans forward and gives Anabel a passion filed kiss. Ash could feel Anabel putting so much repressed longing and lust into the kiss. The kiss eventually turned into a make out session. Eventually much to Anabel's displeasure Ash broke the kiss to breath.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that?" Anabel said red faced and panting after the kiss. "I can take a guess." Ash said with a knowing grin. Anabel raised and eyebrow at Ash. "I saw you holding the hand I shook and blush. You didn't notice me turn around to give you one last wave good bye. But you don't have to worry Anabel I won't leave you again." Anabel again hugged the air out of Ash. "Anabel I need to breath," Ash says turning slightly blue. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry," Anabel says blushing. "Anabel how would you like to travel with me as I take on the leagues again?" Anabel didn't even hesitate, "I would love to Ash as long as I'm with you." Ash then gave Anabel a chaste kiss and escorted Anabel outside. "You can call Scott before we leave, and get a replacement for a while." Ash then started to feel awkward, "Oh and Anabel one more thing." Anabel looked at Ash and smiled, "Yeah Ash?" Ash started to look around awkwardly, "Oh how do I put this, umm fine I'll just say it. Anabel you won't be the only girl with me." Anabel looked at Ash slightly upset that their would be more girls to compete with for Ash's affection. "What do you mean Ash?" Ash took a deep breath "Anabel, I have three other girlfriends, they share me." Anabel was shocked for a second, but quickly recovered, "I would rather share you than not have at all I've waited too long for this day." Anabel gave Ash another kiss, they then hopped back on Garchomp and flew towards New Island.
(Back on New Island)
The girls had just finished training their Pokemon when they noticed Ash land back on the island. As the girls approached Ash, May was the first person to recognize Anabel. "Anabel!" May said in a shocked tone. "Girls this is Anabel the frontier brain of the Battle Tower, and my newest girlfriend." To prove his point Ash gave Anabel a quick kiss. The rest of the girls quickly flocked to Anabel happy to have another girl to talk with. Ash then mounted Charizard deciding to give Garchomp a break. "Girls I'll be back soon I have to go get Cilan, I shouldn't be too long. See you all soon." With that Ash took off again in the direction of Striaton City.
(Striaton City, Unova)
Ash landed in front of the Striaton Gym and walked in to front doors. Deciding to not go through the same routine as his first time at the gym. Ash simply walked in and yelled "I demand a Striaton City gym battle." Everyone in the gym/restaurant turned towards Ash in excitement. Ash then noticed the three gym leaders appear before him. "I am Cilan, these are my... Ash is that you?" Ash grinned at Cilan, "The one and only." Ash then pulled Cilan into a manly hug. "I told you I would be back." Cilan returned Ash's grin, "So it's time to take the world by storm?" Ash's grin grew," You know it ,but before we go I challenge you three to a battle to a three on three battle, all three of you at once vs. three of my Pokemon." Cilan quickly discussed this with his brothers, after a few minutes the three brothers nodded,"We accept."
"The battle between Cilan, Chile, and Cress vs. Ash will begin. Trainers call out you Pokemon." The three brothers grin and threw out there signature Pokemon "Simisage time to cool Ash off." "Simisear time to heat things up." "Simisage time to spice this battle up." Ash grinned "So they evolved this should be interesting." Ash then released his Pokemon, "These guys have been dying for a rematch. Samurott, Emboar, and Pikachu I choose you." Pikachu hopped of Ash's shoulder and onto the field and glared at Simipour wanting to redeem itself for its loss years ago. Emboar and Samurott stared down Simisage and Simisear.
"Battle Begin!" Ash looked at Pikchu and Emboar and nodded he wanted to face Cilan alone so he had to deal with Chili and Cress quickly. "Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Simipour then charge in with Volt Tackle, then jump on Emboar's shoulder. Emboar after Pikachu is on your shoulder hit Simisear with Fire Pledge then use Earthquake. Samurott just sit there and be ready for my command."
Pikachu nailed Thunderbolt sending Siminpour to its knees. Then Pikachu charged up Volt Tackle and hit Simipour right in the chest knocking it out. Pikachu then hopped onto Emboar's shoulder as it punched the ground sending columns of fire straight at Simisear. Right as the Fire Pledge hit Simisear Emboar lifted its foot and slammed it into the ground causing a massive Earthquake that shook the whole city. All this happened under 7 seven seconds. Ash then faced Cilan, "Time to see how much you've improved. Emboar and Pikachu hang back let Samurott handle this."
"Samurott use Hydro Cannon." The massive ball of water formed extremely quickly, much faster than normal. Hydro Cannon hit Simisage sending hims skidding back. "Simisage counter with Solar Beam." The powerful grass-type move hit Samurott in the chest. "Well Ash looks like I've won." Ash just grinned," I'm not to sure Cilan." Cilan gasped standing looking nor worse for ware was Samurott, he look unfazed. Ash faked a yawn, "Samurott finish this with Ice Beam." Samurott and impressive Ice Beam hitting Simisage in the chest. "Now finish with Razor Shell." Samurott charged in with Razor Shell and slashed Simisage across the chest. Simisage fell to the ground knocked out.
"All the gym leaders Pokemon are unable to battle, Ash is the winner!" Ash looked at the three shocked gym leaders. "Cilan I am very impressed most grass types cannot take one of Samurott's Hydro Cannons let alone an Ice Beam very well done indeed." Cilan thanked Ash for his praise. Ash then shook all the gym leaders hands. "So Cilan ready?" Ash turned towards Ash,"Actually we have to get my girlfriend before we go." Ash paled as he heard those words, there was only one person who could be Cilan's girlfriend. Ash simply face palmed, "Oh Arceus no, not her." Cilan turned towards Ash and grinned,"Hey babe we're leaving Ash is ready to start traveling again, remember I said I would go with him." Ash heard someone approach from around the corner. "Of course I remember, Oh hello Ash!" Ash simply sighed and rubbed his temples,"Hello Burgundy great to see you again," it killed Ash inside to say those words. Truth be told Ash found Burgundy far more annoying than Iris most of the time, hopefully she had changed. "So you to ready to go?" Cilan and Burgundy both held hands and nodded. "Just dandy lets go," Ash says voice dripping with sarcasm.
Burgundy was slightly offended Ash hadn't even asked how she and Cilan got together, so she decided to ask. "Ash aren't you curious as to why me and Cilan got together." Ash looked back and simply said,"Nope." Ash felt Cilan's eyes burning through the back of his head as he glared at him. Ash then sighed,"I knew you to would get together eventuall, Burgundy you put up the tough girl act, but underneath your all love and mush. I always saw you blushing and admiring Cilan whenever you were around him. I knew it was just a matter of time before something happened between you to." Ash then looked them both in the eyes, "And I couldn't be happier for the both of you. You both make a very cute couple." With that the group hoped on one of Ash's Pokemon and flew for New Island.
After a arriving on New Island and assuring Iris nothing had happened with Burgundy the group packed their things and headed for the nearest port to board a boat bound for Hoenn.
After the three day trip our heroes arrive in Hoenn and are on their way to Petalburg City for Ash's first Hoenn gym battle. As they approach the gym Ash spot someone on a nearby battlefield, and his eyes fill with rage. May spots who he is looking at and she whispers in his ear,"Please go easy on him." Ash nods, but hides a massive grin. Ash walks towards the person training on the battlefield. Once he is a few feet behind the person he shouts,"Max Maple I challenge you to a battle!"
Haha cliffhanger so will Max even stand a chance against Ash, probably not lol. I will probably have the next chapter out by Sunday, so remember to review and pm ideas and suggestions so until next time I'm outta here.
