Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon
We find our group on their way to Ash's next gym battle discussing Ash's possible strategy.
"So Ash who are you gonna use in your next gym battle?" Cilan asked
"Well the next gym we're heading to is in Rustboro City and the gym leader there is Roxanne. She uses rock-type Pokemon so I don't know. Her Pokemon have probably gotten stronger so I need to prepare for that." Ash answered
"Will you use any of your legends?" Dawn asked as she hugged Ash from behind.
"Hmmm I think I might use one, one I haven't use yet. I probably won't use Victini, because he would have a tough time against rock-types so it's either Latias or Meloetta." Ash said rubbing his chin thinking.
While in the middle of their conversation Ash suddenly stopped walking.
"Ash whats wrong?" Iris said after she bumped into him.
"I don't know. Something is disturbing my aura, it feels like something nearby is in pain." Ash said closing his eyes trying to find the source of the disturbance. "Over there" Ash said pointing to the nearby forest.
After a few minutes of walking a little deeper into the forest Ash spots something he wish he hadn't. In the middle of a clearing was a Pokemon in a cage with several fresh wounds all over its body. When he saw this Ash quickly bolted into action to help the injured Pokemon.
"Ash what did you... OH MY GOODNESS!" Cilan shouted running up to the cage throwing off his backpack to find healing supplies, while everyone else gasped following closely behind.
"Pikachu quick use Iron Tail and bust open this cage." Ash said looking to his buddy on his shoulder.
"Pika Pika!" Pikachu shouted and broke the lock with a powerful Iron Tail.
As the cage door swung open Ash bolted into to cage to try and help the shaking Pokemon. When he finally got a good look at the Pokemon he recognized it as a Munna. The little Pokemon was shaking in fear. When the Pokemon saw Ash approaching it started to shake more violently and whine in fear.
"Shhh it's okay little guy I'm Ash and I'm gonna help you." Ash said soothingly as he slowly reached for the shaking Pokemon.
"Please don't let the bad men hurt me!"
Ash was startled when he heard the Pokemon shout in his mind.
"Hey don't worry I promise I won't let the bad men hurt you ever again. Please what happened to you, why are you like this?" Ash said lightly petting the Pokemon as Cilan applied some medicine.
"My trainer came here from Unova a few weeks ago, and after I lost a gym battle he released me saying I was too weak for him. I was so sad and as I was wondering the forest looking for food some poachers caught me. They said I was worth a lot of money since I was rare in this region."Munna started to cry as she remembered what happened a few days ago.
Ash was literally shaking in anger. "How can someone be so heartless and cruel." Ash said his voice dripping with rage. "Who was your old trainer if you don't mind me asking?"
Munna looked at Ash for a second and sighed. "I guess there's no harm in telling him," Munna thought as she looked Ash in the eyes, finding only worry and rage in them.
"My old trainer's name was Trip."Munna said.
Ash's eyes twitched slightly as he heard this. "Come again."
"I said his name was Trip, do you know him." Munna said slightly worried by Ash's expression.
"That's what I thought you said. To answer your question yes I do know Trip, we were rivals when I was in Unova. Cilan please take Munna and start heading for the Pokemon Center, I'll catch up to you guys in a sec." Ash then handed Munna over to Cilan as he walked deeper into the forest.
When Ash thought he was far enough away from everyone he immediately cocked his fist back and punched the nearest tree to try and quell his growing anger.
"Dammit Trip when I find you, you are going to regret ever being born!" Ash shouted as he punched the tree again.
"Ash what are you doing!" Dawn yelled as she ran up to Ash examining his bleeding hand.
"I just had to blow off some steam." Ash said as he winced when Dawn started to put bandages on his hand.
"What has you so upset Ash?" Iris said as she crouched next to Ash.
"You guys didn't hear what Munna said?" Ash said looking very confused.
"No, we only heard you talking." They both said.
"Hmm I guess Munna was only talking to me. Well the reason I'm so mad is because I found out Trip released Munna after she lost a gym battle, and thats how she ended up getting caught in that cage." Ash's anger was returning as talked to the two girls.
Both Dawn and Iris gasped, as they and Cilan were the only ones who knew Trip.
"That heartless bastard to think I thought he actually changed after you beat him." Iris said as she too shared Ash's anger.
"Man I knew Trip was an arrogant ass, but that was just awful." Dawn said as she started to clench her fists.
"Well when we find him I'll make sure I give him a piece of my mind. Now lets get to the Pokemon Center." Ash then got up with Dawn and Iris' help and head for the Pokemon Center. But none of them noticed the Pokemon watching them from the shadows.
"Hmmm he truly does care for all Pokemon. Maybe he is deserving of my power." As the Pokemon finished its thought it seemed to simply melt into the shadows.
(Pokemon Center En Route to Rustboro City)
Ash was sitting in the waiting room of the Pokemon Center watching TV as he waited to here about Munna's condition. There was nothing really on, and Ash was about to get up and check on Munna when a special news bulletin appeared on the TV.
"Hmm what could this be?" Ash said as his focus shifted back to the TV. As the bulletin finished Ash muted the TV and started clenching the arms of the couch straining the fabric. "No it can't be true how did he do it."
Flannery walked into the room and spotted Ash.
"Ash what is wrong?" Flannery walked up to Ash, but instead of talking he simply pointed to the TV.
When Flannery looked at the muted TV and read what the bulletin on the bottom of the screen said. "New Johto region champion crowned. Tobias sweeps Lance in battle for title of Champion!" When she finished reading this Flannery gasped she had learned who Tobias was from Ash.
"How the hell did this happen." Ash said as he shook his head. "Well I guess this makes finding him easier. When I find you I will beat you Tobias." Ash then turned to Flannery as she gripped him in a hug.
"Don't worry Ash we all believe in you. We know you'll beat him" Flannery said as she gave Ash a kiss.
"Thanks Flannery I needed that. So did you want something?"
"Oh that, I came to tell you, you can go check on Munna now." When he heard this Ash smiled widely and he quickly released Flannery from the hug and took off for the operating room.
When Ash saw Munna he was completely relieved. Munna looked good as new and was smiling as it was talking with Pikachu and Sylveon. Taking a deep breath Ash walked into the room, and as soon as Munna saw Ash here face lit up.
"Ash it's you!" Munna yelled as she floated over to Ash and cuddled into his chest.
"Hey Munna you're looking a lot better and happier." Ash said all traces of his bad moode evaporating.
"Well thanks to you and Nurse Joy I'm all better. Plus Pikachu and Sylveon are so funny they're great!" Munna sounded so happy that Ash's smile widened.
"It was nothing Munna I try to help anyone I can especially Pokemon in trouble." Ash then started to gently pet Munna earning a content sigh from her.
Munna then got really nervous worrying Ash slightly. "Umm Ash I have something to ask you." Munna nervously said.
"Sure Munna you can ask me anything." Ash flashed Munna a big smile.
"Well Ash I was wondering can I come with you?"
Ash was slightly caught off guard by this question and stumbled over his words worrying Munna.
"If you don't want me to come I understand." Munna sadly said as it started to float back to the bed.
"No wait!" When she heard Ash shout Munna quickly whirled around. "Of course I want you to come with me, I was just caught off guard by your question that's all." Ash then pulled out a Pokeball to show he wasn't lying.
"Oh thank you so much Ash!" Munna then used Psychic a tapped the Pokeball to her head. Ash caught the Pokeball and it pinged and shrunk in his hand.
"Don't worry Munna I'll make you stronger, and when we meet up with Trip we'll show him how strong you truly are." Ash then sent Munna over to Professor Juniper's lab for her to get training from some of Ash's other psychic-type Pokemon.
(Several Hours Later)
Ash was sleeping in his bed cuddling up next to Dawn after a very enjoyable 'session.' In his dreams Ash was beating Tobias and being crowned a Pokemon Master. But just as he was about to be handed his trophy everything turned to black.
"Hey! What gives I was having a good dream!" Ash shouted very annoyed. Suddenly Ash heard a voice speaking to him.
"Why hello Chosen One I see you were enjoying yourself." The voice said lightly chuckling.
"OK who are you and why did you stop my dream?" Ash said now curious about the mysterious voice.
"Why don't you wake up and find out I'm right in front of you."The voice said as Ash started to flutter his eyes open. When his eyes opened and he looked forward he was momentarily scared shitless, who wouldn't be. In front of him was the darkness Pokemon Darkrai. The two just stared at each other for a moment before Darkrai started to get annoyed.
"Well aren't you going to speak Chosen One."Darkrai said as it floated slightly closer.
This seemed to wake Ash up and he stuttered. "Wha... What are... you doing... here... Darkrai?"
"Wow and I thought you were smart. Why do you think I'm here I take it Father spoke to you already." Darkrai then sighed at Ash's momentary stupidity.
"Wha.. Wait you mean you want to come with me?" Ash said completely surprised. Darkrai simply nodded and floated closer still. "But wait what about Cresselia aren't you two locked into like an eternal battle or something?" Ash said confused.
"Oh don't worry about her she should be here in a couple days."Darkrai said nonchalantly.
"Wow both of the Lunar Duo want to join my team, that's fucking awesome!" Ash shouted.
But what Ash didn't know was that his shouting woke up Dawn. "Ash what the hell are you yelling for it's like 3 in the morni... HOLY SHIT!" Dawn yelled as she rushed to cover herself as Darkrai and Ash both turned to look at her.
"Ash what the hell is Darkrai doing in our room!" Dawn shouted.
"Well take a good guess Dawn." Ash said as he tried to calm her down.
Dawn though for a moment then it clicked. "You have to be shitting me Ash how many legends are you gonna catch. Well keep it down I'm going back to bed we'll discuss this in the morning." Dawn then put her head back on the pillow.
"Well OK Dawn, Oh and Cresselia should be joining us soon to." Ash said as he turned back to Darkrai.
When she heard this Dawn shot back up and looked up at Ash. "Wait Cresselia too! Oh Ash you have to let me use her in contests. Pretty please!" Dawn started to give Ash the puppy dog eyes.
"Awww I don't know Dawn." Ash said as he rubbed the back of his head unsure of what to do.
Dawn then got a dirty look in her eyes. "I bet there's something I can do to convince you." Dawn said as she started to trace circles on Ash's chest.
Ash looked at Dawn and laughed. "OK fine you can use her, but only on two conditions. One you can only use her if she is OK with it. And two only if you let May use her as well, because I know she'll be begging me to use her as well." Ash said with a grin.
Dawn put her back on the pillow and turned away from Ash pouted. "Hmph I guess that's alright. Now keep it down I want to get some more sleep." Dawn then closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep. Ash watched Dawn sleep for a minute before he turned around to see Darkrai giving him a questioning look.
"Oh shut up." Ash said as Darkrai started to giggle slightly. "Well if you want to join me the Cherish Balls are in the front pocket of my backpack." Ash then laid back down and shut his eyes. The last thing he heard before he drifted of to sleep was the sound of a Pokeball falling to ground followed by a soft ping.
When morning came Ash woke up and stretched. As he got out of bed he spotted Darkrai's Pokeball on the floor. Ash picked up the ball and smiled, he had to admit Darkrai was one of his favorite legends it was just so cool. But as Ash was about to put the ball on his belt he got an idea. He then walked over to Dawn and shook her awake.
"Wha.. What do you want Ash?" Dawn then noticed Ash's devious smile, but she misinterpreted it and she blushed. "Ash we can't do that now we''l wake everyone up."
Ash was confused at first, but then he realized what she was implying and blushed himself. "Dawn I didn't want to have sex. I just had a great idea and I wanted to wake you up so you could watch the show."
"What do you have in mind?" Dawn then saw Ash hold up Darkrai's Pokeball and she got a devious smile of her own.
As Dawn arrived in the lobby she saw Ash talking to Darkrai in a quiet voice. When she arrived they were smiling and Darkrai vanished into the floor.
"Well Dawn take a seat and enjoy the show." Ash then gestured for Dawn to sit next to him. "OK 3...2...1... NOW!" As soon as he said that Dawn heard screams come from everyone else's room. Then everybody in the group came running into the lobby panting trying to explain what they just saw. Ash tried to keep a straight face as everyone was rushing to explain the vivid nightmares they just had. But it was too much and Ash and Dawn suddenly burst out on laughter.
"What is so funny?" May said extremely confused.
"OK you can come out now!" Ash said as Darkrai appeared out of the ground next to him trying his best not to laugh.
"Dammit Ash that was you!" Once again everyone was stunned to see it was Anabel that had said the outburst.
"Well Anabel I must say I'm starting to like this more confident side of you." Ash said as he gave Anabel a quick wink. Anabel couldn't help but blush as her heart fluttered at Ash's words.
"Ash when did you get a Darkrai?" Cilan said excitedly as he started examining the dark-type much to its surprise, it wasn't used to this much attention.
"Uhh well he showed up last night after Dawn and I." Ash didn't get to finish, because Dawn punched him in the arm.
"They don't need to know what we did last night." Dawn said as her face flushed red in embarrassment.
"Oh right, well yeah he showed up last night wanted to join and of course I said he could. Plus he said Cresselia should be with use very soon." Ash then turned to May knowing what was coming next.
As if on cue May was hanging of Ash's arm begging him to let her use Cresselia in her contest. "Well May your lucky me and Dawn worked that out last night. You can use her as long as she wants to participate in contests, and if you share her with Dawn. She will still be my Pokemon however."
Much like Dawn, May didn't seemed to pleased with this, but she shrugged. "Well I guess that's okay as long as I get to use her."
Well guys lets get moving Rustboro City is a half day walk away we should be there by dinner.
As they were walking Ash walked next to Anabel and whispered. "Anabel tonight when we get to Rustboro City you can show me that confident side of you again." Ash finished by giving Anabel's ear a quick love bite sending shivers down her spine. She just dumbly nodded and continued walking.
(10 Hours Later Rustboro Gym)
"Wow we made great time. Now lets get get this gym battle started." Ash then lead everyone inside the gym.
Ash then spotted Roxanne talking to an assisstant. "Hey Roxanne!" Ash shouted as he ran up to Roxanne.
When Roxanne heard someone yelling for her she turned around and saw someone running up to her. "Uh hello, but who are you?"
Ash's smile faded for a sec, but he quickly regained it. "Well it has been a long time. Roxanne it's me Ash!" Roxanne then noticed Pikachu on Ash's shoulder and it all clicked.
"OH my goodness Ash I can't believe it's really you. You've gotten so much taller and much more handsome. And it's good to see you to Pikachu." Roxanne then scratched behind Pikachu's ears earning her a contented 'chaaa' from the little yellow mouse.
Roxanne then spotted the large group of people that were behind Ash. "Well Ash I recognize May, but who are the rest of them?" Ash then went through the introductions, and Roxanne was not to surprised that Ash had so many girls with him, she knew he was going to be a chick magnet, hell she almost fell for him.
"Well Roxanne I'm here for a gym battle." Ash then pulled out a Pokeball ready to battle.
"Aren't you eager. I would love to have a battle its been kinda boring this year not alot of challenging trainers, most of them use the generic water or grass-types and its gotten pretty boring. Plus Ash I won't be using my standard Pokemon I'll be using the Pokemon you beat last time. They want some pay back." Ash just grinned and walked onto the battlefield.
"The official two-on-two battle between Roxanne and Ash will commence. Trainers reveal your first Pokemon."
Roxanne grinned and pulled out her first Pokemon. "Lets see if you remember this guy. Golem time to roll over the competition." Golem appeared on the field in a flash of white and stared Ash down trying to remember where he saw him before. Then Golem spotted Pikachu and growled remembering the the battle they had all those years ago. "Ohhh I think Golem remembers you Ash."
Ash stared at the massive Pokemon glaring at Pikachu. "That giant thing was the little Geodude I battled." Ash was stunned Golem looked so much more powerful.
"I'm touched you do remember him, now bring out your Pokemon." Roxanne was surprised to Ash reach for a Pokeball. "Wait aren't you gonna use Pikachu."
"What are you crazy against that thing Pikachu would be flattened, I'm not as stupid as I used to be Roxanne. Now I usually don't do this, but she needs the experience. Meloetta I choose you." Meloetta appeared and gracefully landed on the battlefield doing a pose. But when she saw Golem she instantly got worried.
Ash noticed this however. "Don't worry Meloetta I have a plan." This seemed to reassure Meloetta and she turned around determined to show Ash how strong she really was.
"Golem vs. Meloetta, Battle Begin!"
"Okay Ash you have the first move." Roxanne the noticed Ash grin.
"Bad choice Roxanne. Meloetta use Relic Song." Meloetta smiled realizing Ash's plan. She then started signing a beautiful song and danced to the beat. Suddenly Meloetta transformed into its Pirouette form looking more psyched to battle.
Roxanne looked at Golem. "Doesn't look like that attack did to much damage." She then noticed Ash grinning again. "Okay Golem use Rollout," but instead of attacking Golem didn't move. "Golem what are you doing!" She then noticed Ash giggling.
"Looks like Relic Song put Golem to sleep. Okay Meloetta use Close Combat." Meloetta shot forward and started using a flurry of kicks and punches that looked more like a dance then an attack. Then to everyone's surprise Meloetta grabbed Golem's foot and threw him into the wall knocked out.
Ash stood there stunned. "Did Meloetta just throw Golem into the wall?" Ash asked as he pointed to the large dent in the wall where Golem was. Everyone just nodded dumbly and stared at little Pokemon.
"Uhhh Golem is unable to continue Meloetta wins." The stunned official said still not believing what he saw.
"I can't believe that little thing defeated Golem so easily." Roxanne said as she returned Golem. "Okay let's see how you deal with this. Probopass come on out." Probopass appeared and looked surprised to see Ash.
Ash cringed as the weird looking Pokemon looked at him. "Meloetta can you keep going?" Meloetta turned panting slightly and nodded.
"Probopass vs. Meloetta, Battle Begin!"
"I won't make the same mistake. Probopass use Flash Cannon." Probopass gathered up the energy and fired at Meloetta, but Meloetta managed to gracefully dance around the attack.
"Again Meloetta use Close Combat." Meloetta then started to punch and kick Probopass in the same way as Golem, but when Meloetta backed off Probopass was battered and bruised but still conscious.
"Ahh gotta love sturdy. Now Probopass use Earth Power.' Probopass then gathered up its strength and hit Meloetta with spikes of earth that sprouted beneath her. After using two Close Combats Meloetta's defense was significantly lowered and it was easily knocked out by the attack.
"Meloetta can no longer continue Probopass wins!"
Ash returned Meloetta and smiled. "You did amazing Meloetta and get some rest." Ash then pulled out another Pokeball. "I wanted to try this out I just got some new megastones from Professor Sycamore." Roxanne was confused she had never heard of megaevolution before.
"Okay Sceptile I choose you." Sceptile appeared in front of Ash ready to battle. "Okay Sceptile I just got some new megastones from Professor Sycamore and I want to try them." Ash then gave Sceptile the megastone and then he pressed the megaring. Sceptile stood for a second then was covered in a pink light. When it died down Ash gasped at the new Sceptile. I looked so much more powerful.
Sceptile basked in it's new power. Ash grinned as he looked Sceptile over. He was now slightly taller, his tall was longer with a red tip, he had two more bulbs on his back, and he had several new bladed leaves along his arms and chest.
Ash then scanned Sceptile real quick with his Pokedex. "Wow cool Sceptile you're part dragon-type now, and you have the ability Lightning Rod." Ash was a a little surprised at the new ability. "Why Lightning Rod you'd have to be pretty desperate to use electric-type moves against grass-types." Ash put the Pokedex down a prepared to battle.
"Probopass vs. Sceptile, Battle Begin!"
"Okay Sceptile you only need one good attack. Use Leaf Storm." Sceptile roared its name before it launched the largest and most powerful Leaf Storm Ash had ever seen. The attack hit Probopass and sent it crashing threw the wall and into another part of the gym.
Everyone even Sceptile were stunned by the power behind the attack. "Holy Shit Sceptile that was utterly freaking amazing.' Ash then ran up and hugged the massive Pokemon complementing him on his new power.
Roxanne simply sighed as she walked up to Ash extending her hand. "Well Ash that was an impressive battle. That Mega-Sceptile was truly something, that power was amazing." Ash just grinned and shook Roxanne's hand.
"Well Roxanne we gotta get going. I'll come back and visit some time, BYE!" With that Ash and everyone else left for Ash's next gym battle.
(Hall of Origins)
Arceus had just finished watching Ash's battle against Roxanne and he couldn't help the sweat drop that formed when Sceptile hit Probopass with Leaf Storm.
"I really need to be careful of how strong I make the megaevolutions from now on."Arceus however smiled his Chosen One was doing a fantastic job and he couldn't be more proud of him.
(Rustboro City Pokemon Center 2 hours later)
Ash stared at the box of new megastones in front of him. He was going through the list of Pokemon that they affected and one caught his eye.
"Mega-Swampert aye. I wonder if I should send old Brocko a little present?" Ash then turned to see Anabel walking towards him in a skimpy pair of pajamas.
"Well Ash aren't you coming to bed?" Anabel said in a lust filled voice. Ash got up and swooped Anabel of her feet carrying her to the bedroom causing Anabel to start giggling.
"I'll worry about what to do with those stones tomorrow. Right now Anabel and I are gonna have some fun."
Well that's the end of this chapter. Were you surprised to see Mega-Sceptile already. Well Sceptile is my favorite starter so I wanted to incorporate it's mega into the story as soon as it was announced. I will likely do some of the other new megas as they get announced, maybe Mega-Sableye? Well I want to thank ultimateCCC for the Munna idea. If any of you guys have any ideas don't be afraid to pm me them. So remember to review and pm your ideas. Until next time I'm outta here.
