Pokemon!
Hey guys! Before I go on to reviews I would like to say that I have deleted alot of my stories, leaving only the Ultimate Betrayal Series, Operation Red, and A New Hero. This is because, well. I dislike them. They either had bad grammar or I just didn't like how they turned out. That's all there is too it. Also, I've begun slightly thinking of ideas for Ultimate Revenge, the final story in this series, because after The Break Arc, things start picking up rather fast, from what I have right now. Here's a sneak peek chapter ;)
Chapter ~ From friend to foe?! Justin vs Ash!
Jazzmaster24: I'm actually an attack helicopter :P. Lol, but I'm a guy, and Pikachu is a guy too.
Abel: I was thinking about this, and a tiny spoiler, Ash does consider everyone in the crew as his family. Actually, most everyone does, except two people. One who just never really cared, and the other who doesn't really accept themselves yet. But more on that later, it will probably become pretty obvious at the end of the , death? Nah, I have no clue what you're saying.
TheRandomYee: O right, I forgot about Operation Red xD I'll work on it eventually. Probably in between Comeback and Revenge.
Rockster: Hello again! Great to hear from ya! I honestly have no clue how to find this story except to search up it's name, or make an account and follow it. No problem with Jolteon man. Bond evolution actually won't be seen again, but there is a different kind of evolution you will hear about in this arc. Bonnie does have a connection with Zygarde, that much is certain, but I wanna see how it plays out before I make any decisions. Ya, Calem was set to actually be with the traitors in this story, and he did stop Team Flare, but I'm at a loss as to where I can actually put him in. I will eventually though, but now his motives may be different. Honestly, until Flare was actually introduced with Squishy, I didn't know if Ash was going to have any interaction with them, since we literally didn't see flare until the XYZ arc.
Franklin doesn't play by the rules.
So here's my theory on Mega evolution. with the wave stone, that was a forced mega evolution. Those pokemon didn't actually HAVE a mega stone. I figure you can mega evolve as many pokemon as you want, but league rules state you may only use one in battle.
Shhh shhh, I thought Lucario could learn wide guard, but it's ash so shhh xD. I've been debating it, I might include them, but nobody from our side will have them. The crew has never been to Alola. Yeah, BW had a bunch of problems. The thing I hated the most was that Teamrocket was actually being smart. I liked the archipelago arc though.

Chapter ~ The Second Day: The Champions!
"I still can't believe Bonnie lost!" Max whined as the crew began to set up their sleeping bags. It had been three hours since the battle on the mountain and Bonnie had been teleported back to Genzu.
"Yeah, it's kind of hard to think about. I kind of thought we'd all just make it to the finals and have some epic duel or something." Justin said, earning a small laugh from Anabel.
"That only happens in books and movies, silly." Anabel commented, making Justin frown.
"Well, there's no point in dwelling on it now. We'll try to contact Bonnie in the morning, but for now let's get some rest. Who's taking first shift on night watch?" Ash quizzed as he put the cooking pot away.
"I'll do it." Justin volunteered
"I'll keep watch too." Anabel also stated. Ash nodded before everyone got into their sleeping bags, with their pokemon at their side. The rules of the tournament stated that pokemon used for the day cannot be returned until sunrise of the next day, meaning they can be KO'd at night.
Before long, everyone else was asleep, with Justin and Anabel remaining awake. Anabel was reading a book she had brought with her as Justin simply watched the night sky, counting the stars.
Anabel looked up, and over at Justin. She had forgotten to ask him what he had meant by what he had said earlier, due to the whole events happening rather quickly. She decided now would be a decent time as any to ask.
"Justin?" Anabel called his name, getting Justin to turn his head towards her.
"Yeah?" Justin quizzed, curious as to what Anabel had to say.
"Well, remember the conversation we had earlier about you teaching Aubree? What did you mean at the end when you said 'you finally got to be useful?"Anabel asked. Justin simply stared at her for a few seconds, before frowning.
"Oh, that. Well, it's a long story." Justin answered, trying to avoid the question.
"We've got time." Anabel pressed, now wanting to get an actual answer.
"Why so persistent?" Justin asked, really not wanting to get into the whole ordeal.
"Call it a quirk." Anabel stated, causing Justin to snicker a bit.
"Alright, well, I guess I'll tell you." Justin caved in, as Anabel leaned forward to listen.
"All my life, I was always really, well, bad at a lot of things. You name it, I was kind of bad at it. Even now, I'm not good at anything but battling, and even that's a stretch." Justin muttered the last part.
"It didn't help that people at school always had to remind me of how useless I was. When I was in school, I couldn't do anything with them because I would mess up. Tag, Kickball, Baseball, you name it, noone wanted anything to do with me. When I was finally allowed to go on my journey, I was a total wreck. When I tried to make dinner for me and my pokemon, I would burn the food. I tried to set up a tent for the night, I always forgot very important details, like a rain tarp. Honestly Pokemon was the only thing I was good at. When I met up with Caleb, things picked up a lot when we began traveling together. Mainly cause Caleb knew how to actually survive out there." Justin explained, with Anabel listening intently.
"After I got back from the Hoenn league, I decided I would teach my brother and sister all I knew about pokemon battling. I figured I could give them some pointers since I had won the league, despite not having beaten the elite four. It then that Pine ruined everything for me."
"During my Kanto journey a year before, I met Mew. It was being attacked by a bunch of Team Rocket Members and I managed to stop them. Some time later I found out Mew had been following me and I asked if it wanted to join me, it surprisingly did. When I told Pine, he... changed. Whenever I would tell him about a new capture or new badge, he would always press me about studying mew. I refused, no matter what he offered. Mew was practically tortured by Team Rocket, and I didn't want it to have to go through anything of the sort again."
"In the end, that's where I messed up. At some point on my way back from Hoenn, Pine threatened me. He ruined me within the span of a day. And what made it all worse, is that he got my family to believe every word he said. It was awful. The stares they gave me, it was sickening to look at."
"The entire town shunned me. They pointed out my weaknesses, tried to take away my pokemon and dex, and even revoked my rights to compete in leagues. In the end, Caleb was the only one to stick by my side. I guess it was because he knew what having no one on your side was like." Justin said, sadness evident in his voice.
"Eventually, it became too much to bare, and I ran away; Caleb following up. We roamed for a few months before running into Ash and everyone else. Whether it was by luck or Arceus' will, they were someone we could relate too. Although, its not thesame. And don't get me wrong, I owe a lot to them, but.. I just want to see my family. Even if they hate me, I want to be able to see my family and to feel loved again.. and that I'm not just a burden to others." Justin finished; a tear dropping from his eye.
Anabel looked at Justin, frowning. "Don't sell yourself short! Everyone has lots of things they can do! You can do more than battle!" Anabel encouraged, trying to lift Justin's spirits.
Justin just chuckled. "Oh please.. thanks for the kind words, but I can't even cook pancakes.." Justin muttered, looking away. Anabel frowned again at the young man, before turning away to continue the night watch.
Not another word was said on that shift.
X-x-X
"Ash! Ash, wake up, quickly!" Serena shouted, shaking Ash repeatedly until his eyes started to open.
When Ash sat up, the first thing he saw was the crew frantically grabbing their stuff, and looking in one direction. When Ash fully sat up, he saw a horrifying sight. The entire team of champions was walking towards them. Immediately, Ash jumped up and grabbed his backpack.
"Everyone, run!" Ash shouted. The crew began to rush away from the champions, before a Dragonite and Garchomp shot in front of them, and blocked their path.
"Tsk tsk. Trying to run away are we? You should know better." Lance snickered as the Crew quickly found themselves trapped.
"Uh, chance we can talk this through?" Caleb asked with a forced smile, to which he was hit with a dragon pulse.
"Caleb!" Justin and Max both shouted, running over to their friend, who had been shot into the ground.
"You alright, man?" Justin quizzed, helping his friend up, before glaring at the champions. "Since when is attacking another trainer ok?!" He shouted
Lance simply shrugged, "A Champion has to be able to withstand attacks from pokemon. You can't expect to become champion without many trials. This is one of them."
Within just a few seconds, the crew found themselves being repeatedly attacked from all sides. Before long, the entire crew was sore in and pain, aside from Ash, who only took a few hits.
"Send out your pokemon if you want these attacks to stop!" Lance continued, as the crew quickly tried to get away for a few seconds, with the attacks not stopping.
"Guys, we gotta think of something, and quick! Ow!" Justin fell onto his back after a shadow ball hit him.
"But it's too early! A battle against champions could cause lot of commotion, or worse, attract Red!" Clemont pointed out, just barely moving his head out of the range of a Flash Cannon
"Well we gotta think of something, and we gotta think of it quick!" Abel asserted, as the onslaught continued.
Max frowned, before grabbing a pokeball. "Guys, run, I'll stall them as long as I can." Max advised, walking towards the champions.
"Max, stop! We already lost Bonnie, we can't ask you to go down to!" Ash pleaded, trying to stop another of the crew to fall.
Max just grinned. "Come on, I'm a teenager in a tournament for champion, how long was I expected to last?" Max laughed. "Now get out of here."
"I hate to say it, but he's right, you guys. We have to run while we can." Clemont reasoned. The crew nodded, before running off.
"Good luck Max!" Justin shouted, before running off.
Max smiled until they were gone, and sighed, before walking towards the Champions.
Lance scoffed, "What? They abandoned you? Guess they are as rotten as Oak says they are." He smirked, causing Max to scowl.
"If it means they can keep going, then I'll do what's necessary! GO, Jirachi!" Max shouted, sending out Jirachi. Iris stayed silent, keeping her thoughts to herself.
X-X-X
After getting a safe distance from the champions, the crew took a moment to catch their breath.
"*huff huff* What.. was that... about... the champions.. They were so rude to us!" Aubree whined, catching her breath."
After catching his breath, Justin frowned. "It's.. a long story. I'll tell you later." He said. "Anyway, let's do some morning training!" Justin announced, grabbing Abel and Aubree and bringing them over to a clearing.
"What?! But we're in the middle of round two! We can't train now!" Abel attempted to reason with Justin, who wouldn't budge.
"Can't take even a day off, taking even a day off will throw you off." Justin stated, making Aubree and Abel groan, before following suit.
I guess we should send out our pokemon for the day, huh?" Caleb asked, getting nods from everyone.
Ash: Lucario
Abel: Tyrantrum
Clemont: Luxray
Serena: Delphox
Justin: Chesnaught
Caleb: Blastoise
Aubree: Sylveon
The crew took a moment to plan the day after the fiasco of the morning.
"I think we should just go full offensive once the day picks up. The sooner we take them out, the better." Caleb suggested.
"But we don't want to attract too much attention. I think we should hide up by the mountain. We have Anabel with us, so we can tell when people get close." Serena argued.
"But if we hide, this could take forever, and Red could spot us easily in the mountaintop." Clemont rebuttaled, sending shivers down the crew's spine.
Ash was about to speak, before their Holo caster's went off, making them jump. Clemont quickly picked his up and turned it on, bringing a hologram of Bonnie, Jessie, James, and Meowth.
"Hey guys!" Bonnie waved with a grin.
"Bonnie, what are you doing with Rocket Emporium?" Clemont quizzed, as the rest of the crew looked on in confusion.
"Oh, they picked me up so I could give you guys a call! I wanted to hear about what's happened up until this point! And I wanted to talk to Max!" Bonnie answered. The crew looked at each other solemnly, before looking back at Bonnie.
"Bonnie.. Max is fighting the champions right now.. All of them. They got us while we were sleeping, so he stayed behind to hold them off." Ash answered. Bonnie covered her mouth with her hands in a gasp.
"Wow, he's so brave!" She said with hearts for eyes, making the crew sweat drop.
"Not the reaction we were expecting, but we'll take it." Caleb said, laughing.
Bonnie was about to continue talking, before James interrupted them. "Look, twerps, we have another reason to call. Check your holo caster's, quickly!" He warned. Everyone grabbed their Holocaster's, and what they saw shook them to their core.
BOUNTY:
Eliminate Ash Ketchum and his alliance from the tournament, and win One Million Dollars in cash!
Bounty Holder: Samuel Oak, of the Kanto Region.
"W-what is this?" Serena stuttered, afraid of what she was reading.
"Bounties are placeable in this round. If someone wipes out the person's pokemon, they can get a fee-sable amount of money." Jessie answered.
"And, how long as this been up?" Ash inquired, his eyes blazing in aura, trying to sense any bad movement.
"Since midnight. You better be careful, or else- huh?" James stopped. A hyper beam shot from the forest, accidentally hitting the Meowth Balloon.
"GAHH! Everyone on the balloon shouted as they went haywire.
"Looks like we're blasting off again!" Jessie, James, and Meowth shouted.
"But why me too!" Bonnie whined.
The crew looked amongst themselves, worried.
"Anabel, keep an eye out for anyone, Caleb, you go get Justin, Abel, and Aubree." Ash asserted, gaining nods as Anabel began to focus and Caleb dashed off towards the three people training.
After a few minutes, the crew was hiking towards the mountain, but this time intent on simply hiding.
"With a bounty on us, we can't move around, we have to stay somewhere safe, even if we risk running into Red." Clemont explained to Aubree, who was nodding in understanding.
As the crew walked, Justin and Caleb began to fall behind a tiny bit, and began whispering. Noticing, Anabel focused on it.
"So when was the last time you tried?" Caleb inquired, causing Justin to groan.
"Man, it's been eight years. If I couldn't do it in those eight years, what makes you think I can do it now?" Justin answered.
"Man, you gotta believe in yourself more. You know its based on confidence. Do you really not believe in yourself after eight years?" Caleb pressed.
"No." Was all Justin answered, before ending the conversation and catching back up to the group.
Out of nowhere, a giant vine shot from the ground and smashed into Delphox, sending her high into the air.
"Delphox!" Serena cried, as a pokemon shot out of the air and shot two water type attacks straight at Delphox. The attacks hit head on and forced Delphox into the ground, KO'd.
"Trainer's pokemon has been defeated, commencing teleport now!" Before Serena could even say a word, she was gone in a flash.
Immediately, more attacks began firing from the trees, forcing everyone and their pokemon to run.
"Guys we gotta get out of here!" Justin cried out, with Chesnaught's spiky shield blocking off attacks left and right.
"Everyone, on Tyrantrum's back!" Abel shouted, as everyone jumped/climbed on Tyrantrum, who was taking attacks left and right.
"Now, Tyrantrum, Head charge!" Able commanded, as Tyrantrum's head began to glow, and he shot away from the attacks.
The gang sat in relief over their escape.
"This is insane, and we don't even know how many people there were!" Aubree griped.
Justin looked behind them before saying, "I wanna say that's about fifteen people." Everyone looked at him in confusion before seeing themselves being chased by four Greninja, three Accelgor, two Pyroar, a Steelix, an Onix, and four Infernape.
"Go faster!" Everyone shouted, as Abel grabbed the reigns of Tyrantrum, and motioned to go faster. They plunged into the desert part of the island, as the pokemon followed rapidly behind.
