Without any further ado, let the story begin!
Chapter 2: Unsightly Reunion
"What do you mean when you said that Pokemon Hunter Wraith was Ash, Lillie?" Mallow questioned as Lillie lift up her head.
"I'm sure he was Ash, I saw his face. It was exactly like Ash's, the eyes and face marking, everything!" She answered as everyone was shocked.
"Wait… you mean the 'Z' marking on his face is there?" Lillie nodded at Brock's statement, and judging from the Pokemon Doctor's face. He was devastated, the one he counted as his best friend and younger brother had just became the world's worse nightmare.
Everyone was silent, and was also shocked at hearing the details from Lillie. They always thought that Ash, a nice and kind Trainer who wouldn't dare to hurt a Pokemon would become a person who hunts them, and for cash no less.
"This can't be real, can it?" Kiawe asked as Nanu shook his head.
"Face it, boy. It's real, and if that's the case than we'll have to keep this to ourselves for now." The Ula'ula Island Kahuna retorted.
"What do you mean?" Lana tilted her head with that question, Nanu merely sigh before sitting down on his chair.
"Look, we can or cannot be so sure that Pokemon Hunter Wraith is indeed Ash Ketchum until further details. And what if someone says it to the media, what then?" Nanu answered.
His explanation made everybody fall silent, he was right. If the media knows, there'd be no doubt on what the media would want them to do to Ash.
Elsewhere, Ash landed at an island where he could see a cottage being guarded by an Absol and not just any Absol. It was a shiny Absol moreover, the Disaster Pokémon walked up to him upon noticing his presence.
"Any idiots came by, Absol?" Ash questioned.
Absol dropped a belt of five Poke Balls on the ground as Ash picked it up.
"Sol, Absol, ab." Absol told him.
Through it's speech pattern, Ash could tell that people did came. But were subdued immediately by the Disaster Pokémon, and aside from being knocked out. Absol took what's worth and tossed them off the island.
"Good work, Absol." Ash patted the dark type's head as it went back to guarding the door.
Ash took the Poke Balls and went inside the cottage, a melody can be heard from inside the cottage as he opened the door to see a mermaid-like Pokémon singing. Though it stopped upon seeing his face.
"Mienshao, join Absol in guarding the place. Primarina, follow me, we're going to see what merchandise Absol got for us." Ash instructed as he tossed a Poke Ball into the air.
Mienshao appeared as it rushed to the door to join it's dark type friend, meanwhile Primarina followed Ash down to a secret basement underneath the cottage. Many cages can be seen as they entered the room, it was ranged from small sized Krabby cage to big size Rhyperior cage.
"Let's see the merchandises." Ash smirked.
He tossed the five Poke Balls into the cage to see a oddly coloured Jolteon appear, a pair of shiny Plusle and Minun, a Tyrunt as well as a Omanyte.
"Absol sure has good eyes, this guys will definitely worth a lot of cash." Ash ginned.
"Marina!" Primarina clapped happily.
They left the basement as Ash laid down bowls of Pokémon Food for them to eat, out came from his Poke Ball was a Deoxys and from a secret door on the wall to his right. Came a pure sky blue iceberg-like Pokémon who begin to munch on it's treat.
"Once you're done eating, we're going back to doing business. " Ash told them.
The device on his hand rang loudly, successfully catching his attention. He lift up his hand to see a silhouette appear on screen.
"I assume you're Pokemon Hunter Wraith?" The silhouette asked.
"What do you want?" Ash questioned harshly as the figure chuckled.
"I've got a job for you and I think you might be interested in the pay." Ash put down his food as he looked at the figure on the screen.
"Let's hear it, shall we?" The figure smirked widely.
"I want you to get me a rare Sandslash and a strong Blaziken as well as a Meltan." The figure told him before pulling out a piece of paper.
The paper's payment reads that he would be paid at least 2,500,000 for all three in his possession as Ash chuckled darkly before leaning back on his chair.
"You'll get what you want, as long as you don't go back on the deal." Ash told him.
"Believe me, I won't go back on a deal that would benefit us both, would I?" The silhouette asked as Ash laughed a loud.
"You'll get your Sandslash, Blaziken and Meltan soon enough. Giovanni." Ash retorted.
The called ended as Ash got up from his chair, where his Pokémon, at the same time ate finish their meal.
"Absol, Regice and Deoxys. The three of you are following me on this one." Ash ordered.
"The rest of you, guard the house. And subdue anyone who comes and take what's worth." He added.
Recalling his three chosen Pokémon, Ash leaped on top of his only mode of transportation as Salamence flew off into the vast blue sky.
It took three days for Ash to once again, reach Alola and this time was on Akala Island. He touched his goggle to scan the local area to see a small Pokémon figure submerged underwater, and on closer inspection. It was indeed a Meltan that was hiding in the water.
"Salamence, smoke it out with Flamethrower." Ash ordered.
The Dragon Pokemon opened it's mouth, but before it could even launch the fire type attack. Another Flamethrower flew by next to Salamence, causing it to fly unbalanced.
"Tch, just my luck. Now what?!" Ash growled.
He looked down to see Kiawe who had his Turtonator out.
"So, I presume you knew I was coming?" Ash hissed as Kaiwe merely glared at him.
"His not the only one, surrender yourself nicely Pokémon Hunter Wraith." A voice came from behind him.
Ash turned around to see Olivia on an Aerodactyl and behind the Akala Kahuna was Mallow on a Tropius and Lana on a Lapras on the surface of the open sea.
"Three Captains and one Kahuna, and it doesn't seem that you guys will learn on who's superior." Ash smirked.
"We'll see about that, Aerodactyl, use Rock Slide!" Olivia ordered.
The Fossil Pokemon summoned a ring of rocks before hurling them towards Salamence who dodged them swiftly while in the air.
"Hmph, Dragon Pulse."
Salamence opened it's mouth to fire a beam of draconic energy towards Aerodactyl, though only to be countered by Kiawe's Turtonator's own Dragon Pulse.
Ash stood unfazed by the attempt of them interfering as he looked at Salamence.
"I assume you're not going to let me go easy, are you?" Ash questioned harshly, and by the judge of their face. The answer was pretty obvious.
"Careful Kahuna Olivia, he has a Deoxys and a Mienshao." Mallow warned.
They were confused when all Ash did was laugh away before smirking at them darkly from beneath his goggle.
"You're really stupid girlie, do you honestly think an experience Pokémon Hunter like me would bring the same for every round?" He mocked.
"Show them a thing or two!" He yelled while throwing a Poke Ball.
They widen their eyes when they saw the same iceberg-like Pokémon floating in the air before beeping loudly.
"Regice, Lock-On." Ash ordered.
Regice formed a target-like orb between it's hand before locking onto every single Pokémon who had a target sign on their bodies.
"Ice Beam!" Ash ordered.
Regice form an sky blue orb on each hand before firing them off into the air, causing two of them to chase after Aerodactyl and Tropius.
"Tropius, quick use Protect around Aerodactyl." Mallow ordered.
The Fruit Pokémon quickly formed a protective blue barrier around himself and Aerodactyl as the ice type attack rebounded. But as soon as the shield came down, Tropius was blast down from the air with a Zap Cannon attack.
"Mallow!" Kiawe yelled.
"Salamence, use Flamethrower. Regice, use Zap Cannon." Ash ordered.
Salamence launched a Flamethrower but rather then hitting their Pokémon, Turtoator quickly shield his Trainer from the attack as he let out a scream of pain. The same fate happened to Lapras who shielded Lana.
"Fools who doesn't learn their lesson should end up this way." Ash grin darkly.
"How dare you! Going as low as to be attacking the Trainer." Olivia growled as Ash merely shrugged.
"Why is there a need to care when I'm the one winning?" He smirked at the Akala Kahuna
"Now, Regice, Salamence, Hyper Beam!" Ash ordered.
Both the Iceberg and Dragon Pokémon fired off a devastating purple beam as one flew at Mallow's direction and the other at Olivia's, though they were saved when a Flamethrower cut through the one aiming for Olivia and a Stone Edge to block Mallow.
"You're going too far, Pokémon Hunter Wraith!" Ash lowered his gaze to see a brunette with a Blaziken alongside Brock who had his Steelix out.
Ash merely chuckled when a Deoxys appeared beside him with what seems to be a struggling Meltan in it's hand as the DNA Pokemon dropped it into a electrical cage.
"What is that Pokemon?" Brock asked.
"The likes of you wouldn't need to know that, but if you really want to know. It's meant for business." Ash smirked.
"And if you think we're going to let you get away, you're wrong." The brunette girl yelled.
Ash noticed what was beside her as he smirked brightly, he faced Deoxys who nodded before changing into it's speed form.
"Today must be my lucky day, to think that all the business I need is all in one place." Ash chimed.
"Salamence, Regice, use Hyper Beam!" He yelled.
Both Pokemon did as told as they fired off their attacks though not at their opponents, but at each other from a distance causing a huge explosion to occur as May decided to call for an attack.
"Blaziken, use Blaze Kick!" She yelled.
Though all was silent, when the smoke cleared. Ash was gone, so was his Salamence and Regice heck not even Deoxys was there. But what shocked them the most was that May's Blaziken was gone as well.
"Where's Blaziken!" May yelled.
Elsewhere far from them, Ash's Salamence landed on a mountain near Route 7 on Akala Island as he leaped off. He opened a cage as Deoxys dropped what seems to be an unconscious Blaziken into the cage before shutting it close.
"To think they were so easily fool, hmph. Idiots." Ash mocked, before recalling Deoxys and Regice afterwards.
He toss the cage back on top of Salamence before jumping onto the Dragon Pokemon along with Absol.
"We're going back to Ula'ula Island, let's go." Ash ordered.
"MANCE!" Salamence roar before taking flight.
It immediately turned towards Ula'ula Island's direction before charging towards said location at an intense speed.
"Nanu, it seems you were right. His heading this way it seems." A man with brown cloak told him as Nanu sighed loudly.
"We're going to where his heading, and that's?"
"Mount Lanakila."
Both of them walked out of the door before running towards the location, where Ash has exactly landed.
"To think that none would be here, tch." Ash growled lowly in irritation.
"Of course, who would stay when they know you are coming?" He turned around to see Nanu alongside Looker who had what seems to be handcuffs out.
"Now, be good and give it up. Pokémon Hunter Wraith." Looker suggested as Ash chuckled darkly.
"I know you three are behind that tree, come out. Or it's going to hurt badly." Ash threatened.
From the tree behind him came out three people, Lillie, Kukui and Sophocles as he seemingly stared at them.
"How… did… you?" Lillie stuttered in fear as Ash chuckled.
"Do you honestly think that I wouldn't hear your loud footsteps?" Ash questioned mockingly as Nanu took out a Poke Ball.
"If you're not going to surrender, then we'll be doing this the hard way." Nanu warned him as the Former Pokemon Trainer leaped back on his Salamence.
Out came from Nanu's Poke Ball was his trusted Persian, and down came from the sky was Ash's Absol. Though Nanu's Persian had a few extra helping hand when Lillie, Kukui and Sophocles let out their Ninetales, Braviary and Vikavolt respectively.
"A four on two fight is it now? Very well, let's get the party started!" Ash yelled.
He threw another two Poke Balls into the air to summon his Regice and Deoxys, who joined Absol and Salamence in battle. Turning the table to a four on four battle.
"But let's start the battle with this." Ash smirked.
This confused everyone, but they widen their eyes in shock when Ash took out an Icinium Z. and it wasn't just a normal one.
"Wait, isn't that my Z-Crystal!" She yelled loudly as Ash grinned.
"I presume you didn't know? Too bad." Ash retorted.
He revealed his black Z-Ring and to them was the Z-Power Ring, and it was the same as Ash's Z-Ring. He then placed the Z-Crystal on his Z-Ring.
"Let's freeze them for all eternity, and to no end!" Ash spoke darkly.
He did a certain dance, causing a volley of yellow aura to appear around Regice who's hand charged up a huge amount of ice energy.
"Subzero Slammer, do it." Ash ordered.
Regice encased Braviary and Vikavolt in a huge structure of ice before crushing it into many tiny pieces, knocking out both the Valiant and Stag Beetle Pokemon in one hit.
"Hmph, worked better than I expected." Ash chimed in amusement.
He tossed the Icinium Z down to the ground only for Lillie to pick it up as he looked at Salamence and Absol.
"Your turn, Flamethrower and Night Slash." He instructed.
Both Pokemon's obeyed as Salamence launched a torrent of hot flames at Ninetales who leaped away from the attack, as Absol charged at Persian with claws radiating in darkness.
"Ninetales, hit Salamence with Ice Beam!" Lillie ordered.
"Persian, Night Slash on the double." Nanu instructed.
The Alolan Fox Pokemon opened her mouth to fire an Ice Beam attack at Salamence who flew higher to avoid getting hit, meanwhile the Alolan Classy Cat Pokemon swiped at Absol with the same claw radiating in darkness.
"Psycho Cut and Dragon Pulse." Ash gave new instructions.
"Absol!" The Disaster Pokémon yelled before firing off a blade of psychic energy towards Ninetales.
"Sala!" Salamence roared as it fired a beam of draconic energy towards Persian.
"Dodge it!" Nanu and Lillie ordered.
Both Pokémon leaped away from their respective incoming attack before landing on the ground as Ash simply gaze down upon them from the air.
Ash's device rang as he touched his ear device to listen to incoming transmission.
"Sir, we got words from the contractor." A voice called out.
"What is it this time? Extra work, or lesser work?" Ash retorted rather harshly.
"I would seems that he longer needs the Blaziken but he still needs the Meltan and Sandslash." Ash was told about the changes in the plans as he decided to add one more thing in.
"The payment?"
"Same as before."
Ash smirked as he gaze down at Salamence, and without anything much less a single command. Salamence spew out a torrent of hot flames at the ground causing flames to erupt around the nearby trees.
"Ninetales, use Hail quickly!" Lillie yelled.
A cry was heard from Ninetales, causing a hailstorm to crash down upon the field seemingly slowing down the spreading fire, as Ash could see a few Sandshrew running away while being evacuated by a large Sandslash.
"Persian, don't that fool a chance. Dark Pulse!" Nanu ordered.
Persian smirked before firing off a beam of darkness at Ash's Salamence, causing the Dragon Pokemon to dodge sideways.
"Tch,Regice and Deoxys!" Ash yelled.
Both Pokémon went operational as Deoxys charged at Ninetales in it's speed form, meanwhile Regice fired off a Zap Cannon towards Persian.
"Double Team and Lock-On." Ash ordered.
Deoxys soon split into multiple images of itself while Regice decided to put a target sign on both Ninetales and Persian in the midst of the confusion.
"Zap Cannon, Psycho Boost. Do it." Ash grinned.
Regice raised both hands in the midst of the rotating Deoxys as both Pokémon fired their respective attacks, with Psycho Boost flying towards their opponents first.
"Dodge it!"
As soon as both Ninetales and Persian leaped into the air, they were unknowingly blast down by a sudden Zap Cannon attack from Regice as Ash tossed a net to catch the unsuspected Sandslash.
"With this my deal is completed." Ash chimed.
"I don't think so! Magnezone, Zap Cannon!"
Salamence simply flew higher into the air, dodging the Zap Cannon attack. Ash threw a smoke bomb in the air as it exploded, causing smoke to fill the area. But when the smoke cleared, Ash was no longer there.
"Damn it, did he get away?" Nanu questioned.
"Looks like he got us again, damn it. And we were so close!" Looker yelled.
"Guys, where's Lillie and Professor Kukui!" Sophocles yelled with anxiousness in his voice.
Ash's Salamence flew across the vast blue sky as Ash looked at the tip of it's tail before letting loose a sigh of annoyance.
"To think you two would chase me all the way here, I applaud you." Ash smirked, as he watch Lillie and Kukui climb on top of his Ride Pokémon.
"Stop whatever you're doing, Ash! it's not right!" Kukui tried to convince as Ash scoffed at him.
"There's nothing you can do now, this is my new life. Not yours." Ash retorted.
They continued to stare at each other as Ash simply turned around to face the front.
"Now, get off before I throw you off. I may have spared your Pokemon the last time, Lillie, but not this time." Ash told the blonde.
"I'm not leaving without those Pokémon that you poached from their home!" Lillie retorted as Ash sighed loudly.
"So be it, Absol!" Ash yelled in anger.
From behind them came Ash's Absol, having the Disaster Pokémon pin them both down as Ash walked towards them before kneeling down.
"I guess you guys are just going to follow me back home, but first." Ash signalled for Absol to throw them into another electrical cage before locking it.
A few hours passed by quickly, as Ash's Salamence landed on a mountain top. Only for a helicopter with a big red 'R' on it to fly above their heads, the door opened to reveal Giovanni walking down the stairs alongside his secretary.
"Here's the Sandslash and Meltan." Ash told the boss of Team Rocket, as he dropped a net containing said Pokémon.
"Very well, here's your payment as promised." Giovanni responded while handing Ash an envelope.
The Pokémon Hunter opened the envelope to count the money before closing it when it's correct, as he leaped back onto his Salamence.
"I look forward to doing business with you again, Pokémon Hunter Wraith. Or should I say Pokémon Hunter Ash Ketchum?" Giovanni smirked as Ash paid no heed to his 'business' talk.
"Tell me that when you have another job for me, otherwise-" Without finishing, Ash's Salamence flew off to parts unknown.
Elsewhere in Alola, Brock met up with the rest after Lillie and Kukui disappeared for a few hours and has yet to return.
"Have you found them?" He asked getting many signs of negative signals in return.
"I'm afraid not, and I'm also afraid that they went after Pokémon Hunter Wraith." Looker sighed, causing everyone to look at him.
Though May was the most upset one, she not only came to Alola to have her vacation ruined by the recent poaching. Her Blaziken was even taken away from her, and heck she didn't even know until the end.
"The next time I see that jerk, I'm going to pummel him!" May growled loudly, only to receive a look from Nanu that reads 'You must be joking me'.
"Tell that to me when you ACTUALLY knock out one of his Pokémon, believe me. It took four people to knock none of them out." Nanu retorted.
They looked worried for their friends safety that was within the grasp of the Pokemon Hunter, as Ash flew through the vast blue sky on his Salamence.
Chapter 2 is out guys! And as I said before the start of the chapter, any suggestion please place them in the review. And I might change probably after or during Chapter 3!
A/N: I know you guys have been warning me constantly about Poke Trollers, but believe me. I am also annoyed, if they really want to do it than that just proves their immaturity. But still, I thank you all for all the warnings you've given me so far!
Otherwise,
PEACE!
