Hey guys I'm back for another chapter. I know a lot of you were disappointed that the lemon with Ash, Dawn, and Zoey wasn't in the story, and I apologize for that. It's just that I would have had no idea how to write it. I have a hard enough job writing a lemon for two people. So if any of you are good at writing lemons I would love help writing the last few that will be in the story. So with that out of the way let's get on with the fic.
"Speech/Pokespeech"
Pokemon Attack
"Thoughts"
"Telepathy/Aura Speech"
"Something's coming" Ash said turning around to face the forest.
"What's coming Ash?" Iris asked with a hint of fear in her voice.
"I don't know exactly, but one is angry and the other is happy." Ash explained as he pulled out Mewtwo's Pokeball from around his neck. The ball enlarged and out came Mewtwo. Noticing his surroundings Mewtwo turned around and gave Ash a confused look.
"Umm Ash why did you call me out?" Mewtwo asked floating towards Ash.
"Well I sensed two presences approaching fast, and might need your help." Ash said gesturing towards the forest. Mewtwo nodded in understanding, and turned to face the forest with Ash.
Seconds later a large figure burst out the woods roaring in rage. The figure started barreling towards Ash, but was stopped by Mewtwo's psychic powers. Ash looked the Pokemon up and down a few times. It was a large bear-like Pokemon resembling a panda. After a few seconds Ash recognized what the Pokemon was.
"What the hell is a Pangoro doing here in Sinnoh?" Ash asked as he slowly approached the Daunting Pokemon. As Ash came closer Pangoro started to yell and roar as if it were trying to talk to him.
"Ash this Pokemon is trying to speak to you."Mewtwo said as he released Pangoro from his psychic hold, but he still kept his guard up.
"Okay then Mewtwo can you translate?" Ash asked watched Pangoro slowly get lowered to the ground. Nodding Mewtwo started to translate what Pangoro was saying.
"He says that he has come a long way to find you. He has heard of your Lucario's immense power, and he wishes to test his strength against him in a battle of fists. He also says that if he loses the fight he wants Lucario to train him, so that he can become stronger." Mewtwo said as he finished translating.
Ash was shocked, this Pokemon traveled all the way from Kalos just to battle his Lucario.
"So you came all this way just to test your strength against my Lucario," Ash asked. Pangoro nodded as he got into a fighting stance. "Wait I don't have Lucario with me right now. But if you wait right here I'll go run and get him." Pangoro seemed upset at this, but he nodded anyways. Ash then turned towards Mewtwo and grabbed his shoulder. "You know what to do," Ash said and in an instant he was gone.
"What.. Where did Ash go?" Flannery asked shocked at Ash's sudden disappearance.
"He probably teleported to Professor Juniper's lab to get Lucario." May explained just as Ash reappeared with Lucario at his side.
"Here is the Pokemon I was telling you about Lucario." Ash said gesturing to Pagoro.
"Hmm he seems strong, alright I'll fight you. But let's get this over with quick I was in the middle of training Riolu." Lucario said getting into a fighting stance. Ash went to stand behind Lucario, but a growl from Pangoro made him stop in his tracks. Ash looked to Mewtwo for an explanation.
"He said no trainers, just Pokemon." Mewtwo said landing next to Ash. Nodding Ash turned to the battle ready to cheer Lucario on.
The two Pokemon stared each other down for a few moments. Pangoro broke the stare down and charged at Lucario. Pangoro threw a powerful punch aimed at Lucario's head. But Lucario was quick and ducked under the punch, and delivering a powerful uppercut to Pangoro's chin. Pangoro stumbled back a few steps and recovered from the hit.
This time it was Lucario's turn to charge. Running in Lucario started barraging Pangoro with punches and kicks. Pangoro tried to block and dodge as many as he could, but Lucario was too fast. Seeing an opening Pangoro punched Lucario in the face sending him skidding back. Pangoro charged forward with its fist cocked back ready to deliver a massive punch.
However right before the fist connected Lucario recovered and caught Pangoro's fist. Pangoro was stunned that Lucario had managed to grab grab his fist mid punch. Lucario looked up at Pangoro and scowled.
"You're pathetic challenging me. You're slow, clumsy, and your timing is terrible. The only thing you have going for you is your massive strength." Lucario said twisting Pangoro's arm and getting in his face. Pangoro yelled in pain as his arm was slowly twisted by Lucario. Lucario then held an Aura Sphere up to Pangoro's head. "Give up."
Roaring in defiance Pangoro swung his other arm blindly at Lucario. Again Lucario simply ducked under the attack, but this time Lucario lifted Pangoro up by his arm and slammed him into the ground. Pangoro was now bleeding slightly and had bruises all over his body. Again charging another Aura Sphere Lucario got in Pangoro's face.
"Give up now! You're at your limit and I can still go all day." Lucario said to a slightly cowering Pangoro. Instead of lashing out again Pangoro sighed and lowered his head in defeat. Pangoro looked to the side hearing footsteps, and saw Ash walking towards him.
"Lucario's right you have a lot of work to do. But you do have lots of potential. Once you get faster, and your timing is better you'll be a very powerful Pokemon," Ash said as he pulled out a Pokeball. " All you have to do is trust me and Lucario." Pangoro looked at the ball for a moment then nodded his head. Taking the ball from Ash's hand Pangoro tapped himself on the head and let himself get sucked inside the ball. The ball shock twice then pinged. Ash then handed the ball to Lucario.
"You know what to do, train him right along side Riolu. Oh and try to work on his attitude, the last thing I need is another Terrakion on my team." Ash said as Lucario grabbed onto Mewtwo's shoulder. A second later they were gone. Ash then turned towards the forest and focused on a single tree, he spotted a pink tail jutting out from its side.
"You can come out now, I already know you're there." Ash said making his way towards the tree. Just then Ash felt his hat lifted off his head. He turned around and saw a little, pink feline-like Pokemon floating with his hat on its head. "Mew it's so good to see you again."
Mew quickly flew over and into Ash's arms. Ash hugged the little Pokemon tightly. Just as Ash released Mew from the hug Mewtwo reappeared.
"Ahh hello sister how are you?" Mewtwo asked in a slightly annoyed tone as he floated over to Ash and Mew. Instead of answering Mew starting flying around Mewtwo trying to get him to play with her. "I see you're doing well. I presume you're here to accompany Ash on his quest?" Mew stopped flying and nodded. Ash rummaged through his bag and pulled out a Cherish Ball for Mew. Floating over Mew lowered her head and gave Ash his hat back. Then Mew used her psychic power and lifted the ball to her head. With a quick tap Mew was sucked inside, the ball pinging instantly as it fell into Ash's hands. Ash then turned to Mewtwo who was staring at him.
"You two won't be fighting a lot will you?" Ash asked as Mewtwo landed next to him.
"I won't make any promises, but I'll try my best to be civil around her. She just gets on my nerves sometimes," Mewtwo answered rubbing his temples. "I can already feel the headaches coming." As Ash was a about to return Mewtwo, but he was stopped when Mewtwo raised his hand. "One more thing Ash. She may annoy me, but if you ever hurt or mistreat Mew, I will make you beg for mercy." Mewtwo said in an icy, cool tone.
Ash quickly nodded before flashing Mewtwo a grin. "Don't worry Mewtwo, you know I treat all my Pokemon like family. Mew is in good hands, I'll treat her right and make her even stronger." Mewtwo smiled as he was sucked into his ball. When Ash turned around he saw that everyone else was packing and getting ready to move on towards their next destination.
"Wait...WHAT! Aren't you guys surprised at what just happened?" Ash asked astonished as everyone continued to get ready to move on.
Hearing Ash Cilan just shrugged. "Well this sort of stuff happens all the time around you, so we're sort of used to it by now. It will take a lot to truly surprise us anymore." Everyone else nodded in agreement, as Ash hung his head in defeat muttering things about them 'being no fun.' Doing a complete 180 Ash started to pack his thing in excitement as he envisioned his upcoming gym battle.
"Alright everyone let's get to it!" Ash yelled as he took off down the path.
Everyone sighed as they started walking in the opposite direction.
"Should we tell him he's going the wrong way?" Dawn asked as she looked over her shoulder.
"Nah he'll figure it out eventually, he has to learn some way." Iris said as she muttered something about 'what a little kid,' Ash was under her breath.
"Alright everyone let's get going, we should be in the next town by sundown." Cilan said as he took the lead.
(6 Hours Later Pastoria City)
As the sun started to set Cilan lead the group into the outskirts of Pastoria City. As the group entered the city they all heard the sound of flapping wings rapidly approaching. They all turned around to see Ash flying towards them on Staraptor's back. Landing, Ash got off Staraptor and started walking towards the group looking rather embarrassed.
"Uh H-Hey guys," Ash said face red in embarrassment.
"Took you long enough!" Iris shouted poking Ash in the chest.
"Sorry I was just really excited about my next gym battle." Ash said scratching his head in embarrassment.
Sighing Iris hugged him. "We know, and that's one of the things we love about you."
Smiling Ash returned the hug. As Ash looked up he saw all his other girls looking at him with 'puppy eyes.' Waving them over, all the girls joined Ash in a big group hug.
"We love you Ash." Dawn said as she hugged him from the side.
"And I love all of you." Ash said as he gave each girl a chaste kiss on the lips. "Now let's get some sleep." With that Ash lead the group towards the Pokemon Center.
(The Next Morning)
Ash sleepily walked to the Pokemon Center's bathroom. As he walked up to a urinal he started to relieve himself. He briefly noticed someone come into the bathroom and start using the other urinal. Ash uttered a sleepy 'good morning' to the stranger. The stranger muttered a reply, and went on with his business. Finishing Ash went to wash his hands, but now he got a good look at the person standing next to him.
He took notice of the man's blonde hair and orange apparel as he started walking towards the sinks. It took Ash a minute to figure out who the man was, but when he did a rage flowed through his body.
"Barry?!" Ash nearly yelled as he grabbed Barry's shoulder.
Turning around Barry went wide eyed as he saw Ash looking at him, with anger in his eyes.
"Oh h-hey Ash!" Barry squeaked out as Ash tightened the grip on his shoulder.
"That's all you have to say after what you did!" Ash yelled as he slammed Barry against the wall.
"Take it easy Ash." Barry said trying to to push himself off the wall, frantically trying to calm Ash down.
"Oh I'm way past taking it easy now!" Ash said pushing Barry back against the wall.
"What do you want from me Ash?" Barry asked fearful of what Ash might do.
"I want to humiliate you Barry. I want to make you see that doubting me was the worst decision of your life." Ash then spotted the Pokeballs on Barry's belt. "Are you entering the Sinnoh League?" Ash asked confusing Barry.
"Uh yes." Barry replied completely confused.
"Then when we battle I will utterly destroy you. I will make you wish you never became a trainer." Ash then shoved Barry to the ground sand stormed out of the bathroom.
When Ash stormed down the hall he saw his girls looking at him.
"What's wrong Ash?" May asked as she tried to calm him down.
"I just ran into Barry." Ash said as he started to get ready for his gym battle.
"You didn't do anything to him, did you Ash?" Dawn asked worried that Ash might have hurt Barry.
"No I just gave him a warning, that when I meet him at the Sinnoh League he's in for one hell of a loss." Ash said pushing past the girls and walking towards the door. But he was stopped when he felt hands on his shoulders. He turned around to see everyone looking at him with worried expressions.
"Ash you need to calm down. You can't go into your battle all hot headed like this." Flannery said worrying that Ash would explode on them.
Seeing everyone's worried looks, Ash took a deep breath. "You're right, I just got all worked up seeing Barry."
Burgundy walked up to Ash and patted his shoulder. "You just need to reel in your emotions sometimes Ash. I would hate for you to do something you will regret later." Ash was surprised to hear this coming from Burgundy of all people. Seeing his shocked look Burgundy chuckled a little. "You've grown on me over the months Ash. Even though you annoy the ever living shit out of me sometimes, I still consider you a great friend."
Ash smiled at Burgundy and gave her a big hug. Releasing her Ash was tearing up. "You guys are the most important people in my life. Thank you for believing in me." Ash said as a few tears escaped his eyes.
Cilan slapped Ash on the back stopping his tears. "Don't worry Ash we will always be by your side. Now why don't we head over to the gym?"
Quickly wiping his tears Ash grinned and nodded. "All right let's do this!" Ash yelled with new found enthusiasm as he sped out of the Pokemon Center with everyone hot on his heels.
No one noticed Barry shuffling out of the bathroom with stains on his pants.
(10 Minutes Later Pastoria Gym)
Ash came running into the gym, but was stopped when he ran into what felt like a brick wall. When Ash looked up he saw the gym's leader Crasher Wake looking down at him.
"Well, well, well what do we have here?" Wake said as he offered Ash his hand.
"He Wake it's been a long time." Ash said as he took the large man's hand. Wake was still wearing his ridiculous outfit from when Ash last saw him, but he had thinned out a little.
Crasher Wake let out a boisterous laugh as he lifted Ash up. "It sure has Ash. Now why are you here, you already have this badge?"
"I'm rechallenging the Sinnoh League and your gym was next on my list," Ash explained.
"Ahh that makes sense. So who do have left after me?" Wake asked leading Ash and everyone else towards the large pool, which was the battlefield.
"I still have to battle Volkner and Byron," Ash answered.
"I see well Ash," Wake said as he pulled out a Pokeball. "You ready rumble?"
"I was born ready Crasher." Ash said with a massive grin as Pikachu jumped off his shoulder.
"The official three-on-three battle between the gym leader, Crasher Wake, and challenger, Ash Ketchum will begin. Trainers reveal your first Pokemon."
"Gyarados time to show Ash the power of water types." Crasher Wake threw the ball and the Atrocious Pokemon came crashing into the pool, letting out a roar at Ash.
Ash didn't even flinch. Most people would cower at the sight of a Gyarados, but Ash had seen enough of them to not fear them anymore.
"Pikachu I choose you!" Pikachu jumped from Ash's side onto one of the floating platforms. Pikachu didn't even blink as Gyarados tried its best to intimidate the small yellow rodent.
"Hmm that's one brave little Pokemon, I like it." Crasher Wake thought as he watched Gyarados try and fail to intimidate Pikachu.
"Okay Pikachu start of with Electro Ball." Pikachu formed a ball of compressed electricity at the tip of its tail. With a quick flip Pikachu launched the ball at Gyarados.
"Gyarados use Hyper Beam." Gyarados fired the powerful beam of energy destroying the Electro Ball. The attack continued towards Pikachu, but the Mouse Pokemon quickly back flipped onto another platform to dodge it.
"Pikachu quick while it's recharging use a Electro Ball Thunderbolt Combo." Again Pikachu launched an Electro Ball at Gyarados, but this time Pikachu hit the Electro Ball with a Thunderbolt charging the attack up and making it more powerful. Gyarados couldn't dodge the attack this time, and it was hit by the powered up Electro Ball.
Gyarados screamed as the electricity flowed through its body. However Gyarados didn't waiver and it stood its ground defiantly.
"Holy Arceus! That is the first water-type to survive that attack." Ash thought as he watched stunned that Gyarados was still standing.
At this point both Pokemon were panting heavily. Both trainer knew that their Pokemon only had one good attack left in them, and they decided to go all out.
"Gyarados use Hydro Pump." Gyarados fired the torrent of water straight at Pikachu.
"Pikachu use Thunder." Pikachu stood it ground as it launched its most powerful electric attack at Gyarados. Both attacks hit simultaneously. Pikachu was sent into the wall by the force of the water, and Gyarados came crashing into the water as it was hit.
"Both Pokemon are," The official was about to call the match, but Pikachu stumbled out of the crater in the wall and caught itself on its knee.
"Gyarados is unable to battle, Pikachu is the winner. Leader reveal your next Pokemon."
Grabbing his next ball Wake threw it onto the field. "Quagsire I need your assistance." The Water Fish Pokemon appeared on one of the platforms.
Ash picked up Pikachu and handed him to Dawn. Then Ash pulled out his next Pokemon. "Meganium I choose you." The Herb Pokemon appeared on the floating platform opposite to Quagsire. Meganium turned to Ash and used Vine Whip to bring Ash onto the platform. After a quick hug and some encouragement Ash was back to his side of the field.
"You can go first Wake," Ash said.
"Quagsire use Sludge Bomb." Quagsire fired several balls of sludge at Meganium.
"Meganium jump to another platform and use Petal Blizzard." Meganium jumped to a platform to its right, and fired a barrage of sharpened petals at Quagsire. However Quagsire just stood there and took the attack looking unfazed.
"Jeez you could punch that thing in the face, and it wouldn't even notice," Ash thought
"Good Quagsire use Ice Beam." Quagsire fired a beam of freezing energy at Meganium. Anticipating its jump Quagsire aimed at the platform that Meganium was jumping to. The attack hit causing Meganium to screech in pain.
"Meganium recover and use Sunny Day, but keep moving" The flower on Meganium's neck started to glow, as the field was filled with a blinding light. Meganium was rapidly jumping platforms making Quagsire have a hard time keeping up.
Seeing his opportunity Ash launched his attack. "Now Meganium use Solar Beam." Stopping Meganium gathered the solar energy and launched the attack at Quagsire. Again Quagsire made attempt to dodge the oncoming attack. This time however Quagsire was knocked into the water, and when it resurface it had swirls in its eyes.
"Quagsire is unable to battle, the winner is Meganium. Leader reveal your last Pokemon."
"You know who's coming up Ash. Floatzel I need you." The Sea Weasel appeared grinning at Meganium.
"Meganium isn't gonna last, I gotta do something quick." Ash thought as he watched Meganium start to pant.
"Meganium use Toxic." Meganium launched a single ball of sludge, the sludge hit Floatzel poisoning it.
"Smart Ash, you noticed Meganium was on its last legs." Wake said as he saw Ash grin at him.
"You don't become the Kalos and Hoenn champion by being stupid," Ash said. "Not let's finish this."
"You got it Ash. Floatzel use Ice Fang." Floatzel dove into the water and stared swimming towards Meganium."
"Meganium let Floatzel attack you." Ash yelled earning a nervous look from Meganium. "Please trust me."
Floatzel exploded out of the water and clamped its jaws into Meganium's leg. Meganium winced as its leg started to freeze over.
"Now Meganium use Solar Beam again." Floatzel looked up to see Meganium about to fire a point blank Solar Beam.
"Wait how is it already ready to fire?" Crasher Wake thought, but then he looked up and saw something that he had overlooked. "Damnit that Sunny Day is still in effect. That clever bastard." Wake couldn't help the smirk that spread across his face. Just then Floatzel was launched across the gym by the point blank Solar Beam. It only took the official one look to call the match.
"Floatzel is unable to battle. Since all of the gym leader's Pokemon are unable to battle the winner is the challenger."
As the call was made Meganium collapsed with a satisfied smirk on its face. Both Wake and Ash returned their Pokemon and meet to shake hands.
"That was amazing Ash, you truly have grown into an amazing trainer." Wake said taking Ash's hand in an iron like grip.
Wincing Ash managed to grin at Wake. "Thanks Wake that means a lot."
"Now since you beat me you better win the whole damn thing." Wake said sporting his only grin.
Ash let go of Wake's hand gave him a thumbs up. "You know I will!"
"Now don't be a stranger!" Wake yelled as he waved to Ash and his friends as they walked down the road to there next destination.
And done another chapter done. As usual review and PM me any ideas you guys have for this story, don't be shy. If you want to help me write the remaining lemons PM and we'll work something out. So until next time I'm outta here.
