Chapter 27/Final: Honeymoonvoa
The sun began to rise the day after Ash and Kenshi were knighted by the Pope before Ash married Lashara and Maria. The married trio slept soundly in the bedchamber where "they had fun." Kenshi was seen climbing through the trees and gathering food from them, ignoring his duty as King of the Swan. Chiaia and Pikachu looked around and the Mouse Pokémon spotted Kenshi. ("Up there!") he alerted. Chiaia looked up and spotted the King above.
"Kenshi, what are you doing?" she scorned. Kenshi looked down and spotted Chiaia and Pikachu, who began to climb up and join Kenshi.
"Oh, good morning, Chiaia!" he greeted. "I was gathering some food for breakfast!" Pikachu reached Kenshi before he spotted something off and dashed to it. "If you want, I can throw you a line and join me picking all of this fruit!" Chiaia scoffed to the invite.
"Please, I'm not a monkey like you, idiot…"
"Alright!" As Kenshi continued to pick from the trees, including mushrooms, Chiaia noticed Pikachu's gone.
"Hey, Kenshi? Is Pikachu with you?" Hearing Pikachu's name, Kenshi looked around when a spot of yellow was there for half a second.
"Yeah, he's over there!" Finding Pikachu, Kenshi pursued in the trees while Chiaia was on the ground. They reached a large tree which had a large hole in it and a tunnel going up.
("What's this?") he wondered. When Kenshi caught up, he also saw the tunnel that led straight up and looked to be made of rock.
"What's this?" he repeated. Hearing Kenshi, Chiaia also wondered.
"What's what?" she asked. Kenshi looked down to Chiaia.
"Pikachu found a weird cavern in this tree! I'm wondering where it leads to!" Not willing to see Kenshi depart, Chiaia protested.
"Oh no! I'm coming up and seeing this!" Kenshi dropped a rope to which Chiaia climbed up. Gathering the rope and with Pikachu on Kenshi's shoulder, they climbed the wall. "You know, you're lucky that you went first!"
"Why?" Not wanting to reveal the reason, she got upset.
"Trust me!" When they reached the other entrance, Pikachu hopped off Kenshi's shoulder and found green caterpillars with pink antennae, green crescent pods with yellow eyes, yellow worms with a spike on each crown, dark yellow cocoons on a few trees and even round white balls made of silk with red eyes peering out. Pikachu's eyes were ready to bulge out.
("It's home!") he cheered. ("I'm home!") Kenshi turned around to help Chiaia up and she found more than the creatures Pikachu found like walking blue pods with grass as hair, small red pigeons and walking acorns with eyes.
"Oh my goodness…" she gasped. "This place… It's only been a minute but… it's incredible!"
("We're back home!") shrilled Pikachu. Kenshi took note of Pikachu's excitement.
"I'm guessing from Pikachu's reaction that this is the Pokémon World," he assumed as he pulled out Ash's PokéDex and pointed at the caterpillar.
"CATERPIE, THE CATERPILLAR POKÉMON," it registered. "CATERPIE RELEASES A FOUL PHEROMONE WHENEVER IT'S IN DANGER." Next, was the tound cocoon hanging by a silky thread. "SILCOON, THE COCOON POKÉMON AND AN EVOLVED FORM OF WURMPLE. SILCOON ABSORBS DEW WHILE IT WAITS UNTIL ITS EVOLUTION." Chiaia was by the tree with the pods and petted the shell of it.
"Oh, I wish I could take a Silcoon home," she cooed. "I bet you turn into one of those butterflies above us." Looking up, there were large purple butterflies and black butterflies that had stringy noses.
"Let me see what Silcoon turns into if it does," Kenshi offered. Before he could get Ash's PokéDex back out…
"Silcoon does evolve into Beautifly," a young man answered. "Unlike Cascoon that evolve into Dustox." All turned to see a raven-haired young man in a teal t-shirt, peach-colored headband and shorts. By him was a purple round fuzzball with buggy red eyes and hands, but no arms. Pikachu recognized the young man immediately and dashed to his side.
("Tracey, hi!") he squeaked. The raven-haired seemed surprised.
"Pikachu?" he gawked. "Are you okay? What about Ash?" Pikachu gestured sleeping to Tracey.
"We had a wild night last night and he's sleeping it off," Kenshi clarified. The raven-haired gawked to the notice that Kenshi realized who he referred to.
"Oh, so he's okay?" guessed Tracey. "We heard that he finished his trip around Sinnoh about a month ago and were wondering if he was on another journey without our knowledge."
"Well, in a sense," Chiaia sighed. "He was, helping us with a bit of a crisis. Kenshi just took Pikachu out and we found a way back here." Pikachu squeaked to confirm Chiaia's claim.
"But now that we found ourselves back here," Kenshi added. "We can bring him back."
"That's good," Tracey sighed. "Mrs. Ketchum's worried sick. By the way, you guys weren't in Sinnoh as well, right?"
"No, we never heard of Sinnoh before Ash came to us," Chiaia corrected. "I'm Chiaia Flan and he's Kenshi Masaki."
"We became friends with Ash and Pikachu," Kenshi clarified. Tracey seemed satisfied.
"I'll bet with how Pikachu's looking, I believe it," he accepted. "By the way, I'm Tracey Sketchit. I once traveled with Ash and Pikachu before I became Professor Oak's assistant in Pallet Town, which is where I'm going with Venonat." Seeing the fuzzball with the buggy eyes, Kenshi used Ash's PokéDex to scan it.
"VENONAT, THE INSECT POKÉMON," it registered. "USING ITS RADAR-LIKE EYES, VENONAT FEASTS ON SMALL BUGS IT FINDS IN THE DARKNESS."
"It's cute for a bug," Kenshi giggled. That's when Chiaia made a choice.
"Kenshi, why don't you go back and prepare Ash for a return?" Chiaia suggested. Kenshi blinked in surprise.
"You're… staying?" he guessed.
"I wanna see what Pallet Town looks like and Pikachu's comfortable with me," Chiaia explained. "I can also see Ash's mother and tell her the deal with Ash." Kenshi understood the ordeal.
"How about meeting back here in a few hours?" he suggested. "It should buy you enough time to see Pallet Town and prepare Ash's mother." Chiaia nodded to the idea as a squeak echoed. All turned to a Koro, unsure if it's the one with Ash. "Koro? What are you doing here?" Koro ran to Chiaia which Pikachu leaped down and wondered.
("It's Ash's for sure,") he confirmed. Kenshi realized Pikachu's point. Tracey became curious to Koro.
"I highly doubt that's a Pokémon," he presumed.
"It's not," Chiaia assured. "It's a Koro and this is one Ash raised while with us." Kenshi knelt to Koro.
"Hey, we're gonna bring Ash back here since this is his home," he briefed. "You wanna come and wake him up?" Koro mewed in agreement before jumping on Kenshi's back. "Oh, Chiaia… don't tell her about all the battles he fought and that they're different from Pokémon battles." Chiaia nodded, feeling pressure about the bloodshed Ash inflicted.
"I'll make sure," she assured. Kenshi leaped down into the cave with Koro as Tracey led Chiaia and Pikachu to the town. Back at the bedchamber, Ash, Lashara and Maria slept soundly, nothing willing to wake them up. Finally, Ash started to stir. As he opened his eyes, he felt the breathing of his new wives and the milky bounce of their chests, mostly Maria's.
'I feel the rings on my fingers,' he thought to himself. 'I feel sweaty skin and boobs.' He looked turned his head and realized what happened was not a dream. 'I can't believe it and neither will my other friends. If Misty or May- no, Brock would lose it the worst if he learned I got hitched, let alone to two girls… and the sex we had…' Lashara and Maria felt Ash's movements and made sure he stayed in place with their legs wrapped around his.
"Morning, dear," they greeted Ash. He smiled, still a bit tired from the ruckus he and his wives performed. That's when Ash's Koro squirmed in and raced to the bed.
"Koro?" blinked Lashara. Ash allowed Koro on his shoulder to which it mewed frantically.
"Dear, what's going on?" asked Maria.
"If you ask me, I'm guessing Koro found something," Ash pondered. Kenshi heard but did not peak since seeing the firm set of Maria's breasts in comparison to Lashara's.
"We did," Kenshi confirmed. "We found your world." Ash, Lashara and Maria gasped to the news.
"The… Pokémon World?" believed Ash. Lashara and Maria clasped Ash's arms in delight.
"This is incredible, darling!" cheered Maria. "We're all going to your world!"
"Isn't that amazing!?" urged Lashara.
"It is!" agreed Ash. A sigh of relief billowed from him."Finally… Pikachu and I will reach home to Pallet Town… and Mom's cooking that I missed… and preparing for the next Pokémon journey.' News spread about Ash's world being found. Wahanly, Aura, Yukine, Mexiah, Flora and Lithia became upset that Ash was going home.
"So, this is it?" wondered Wahanly. "You're going back home?"
"It is, Wahan," Ash shrugged. "I'm sorry that I can't stay long."
"No, don't apologize," Aura eased. "We knew that we had to help get you and your Pokémon back from the start."
"Though, it does hurt that I won't see my little brother anymore around here," Lithia sighed.
"And I know my students who helped you and sweet Kenshi in the Holy War are gonna miss you, too," Mexiah whimpered as she hugged Ash. Yukine confronted Lashara and Maria about their departure.
"So, this is it, princess?" wondered Yukine. "You and the empress will live in the Pokémon World?"
"Pretty much," Maria shrugged. "After all, we've been wanting to see the Pokémon World when we learned about it." Lashara offered her advice as she rested her hand on Yukine's arm.
"Promise that you'll take care of King Kenshi," she wished.
"Of course, Empress," Yukine agreed. Flora rushed in and smothered Ash with a massive hug and several kisses.
"Oh, I can't believe my new son-in-law is leaving me already!" she cried. Her pelting of kisses to Ash's face prompted her daughter and Yukine to pry Flora from Ash. Mexiah's students came to say their goodbyes as Headmistress, Ceres and Hazuki arrived.
"Goodbye, Prince Ash," Bwoole started.
"We're gonna miss you around the academy," Gryino teared up.
"And I'm gonna miss you girls as well," Ash returned.
"Ash, we want to honor your efforts here," Wreda offered. "There's already a discussion of erecting a statue of you and Kenshi."
"And we want to preserve your room if you wanted to visit us!" mentioned Yeliss.
"Thanks," Ash praised. "I might take up that offer. I know that's where my knighted sword will be." This surprised Mexiah's students.
"You're… not taking the sword along?" questioned Mexiah.
"Weapons aren't allowed in my world, remember?" reminded Ash. "Same goes with Excalibur, even though it won't fit through the cavern." Headmistress finally addressed Ash to say her goodbye.
"Ash, let me say on behalf of all the students and faculty of the Holy Land Academy," she began. "Your efforts will eternally be remembered as heroic and pure to which the Goddess blesses down upon every sight." Ash acknowledged Headmistress' claim.
"Thank you…" he praised. Lashara and Maria were set to go in their normal attire.
"Are you ready, darling?" asked Lashara.
"I am," Ash nodded. "I owe Mom an apology for being away for so long." Maria giggled, knowing Ash's honesty.
"So, it is true?" spoke Hazuki. "Your home's found?" Ash nodded while his Koro had a smaller Koro by its side.
"That's great!" awed Ceres. "We can go with you!" Ash remembered inviting Ceres and Hazuki and now, that can be arranged. They began to make their way to the cavern outside when Ash had something to address to his wives.
"Before we go," Ash voiced. "I wanna make something clear for you two." Lashara and Maria blinked to the upcoming detail.
"What is it, darling?" asked Lashara.
"Indeed, what is it you're addressing, my love?" urged Maria.
"Here on Geminar," Ash started as he looked to Lashara. "You may be the Empress of the defunct empire…" Now, he glanced to Maria. "And you may be Havoniwa's princess. However, those titles are meaningless since they don't know you. All they'll know is that you're married to me. There won't be maids, butlers, retainers, attendants… any servant won't be there. I hope you're okay with that?" Lashara and Maria nodded, noting the new roles attained.
"We won't lie," Maria shrugged. "This will indeed be something not easy to adjust to."
"But we're confident that we'll manage," Lashara smiled. "And when I say we, I mean we: you, Maria and myself. All that we care about is that we're your wives."
"And that we love you so much, Darling Ash!" they proposed together.
"And I love the both of you too," Ash giggled. Lashara cupped her chin and grinned.
"I, for one, cannot wait to see your homeland and meet our mother-in-law," she thought.
"Neither can I," Maria joined. "We've been wanting to meet her since you showed all of us that photo of her in the underground hideout." That's when Ash gulped considering the actions of last night.
"Speaking of my mom," he muttered. "Could you two please do me a favor and not bring up… well, what we did last night?" Lashara chuckled to what Ash couldn't say.
"You don't want her to know about all of us having sex?" she giggled. "Even with your Excalibur and our full scabbards?"
"I'm still surprised about your stamina," Maria awed. Ash shuttered to the reminder.
"Right…" he gulped. "She'll be fine if we told her that we're married, but if she finds out about us doing that, she'll have a heart attack… and if that happens, I'll have a heart attack." Realizing the ordeal, Lashara and Maria laughed.
"Don't worry, darling," Maria assured. "We promise not to tell her or anyone else."
"It's our little secret," Lashara sided.
"Thank goodness…" sighed Ash in relief. Ceres and Hazuki turned to see the discussion. Kenshi also saw the gather.
"Hey, Ash!" he called out. "What's the hold up!? You coming!?"
"Yeah, don't leave your mom hanging!" sneered Ceres. The married trio realized they're trailing.
"Coming!" they replied. They reached the hole and Ash and Kenshi climbed it first. Ceres was next, only to turn around and hoist Hazuki up. Ash pulled Lashara and Maria up last at the same time. Maria took a few steps before taking a deep breath.
"So clean!" she awed. Lashara took a breath as wel.
"Pure oxygen, no Ahou," she mentioned. Ash finally took his breath.
"Smells awesome to be back home," Ash smiled. Suddenly, there was a series of shines and all turned to it. The Metapods and Silcoons were shining and glowing light blue.
"Wha… what's going on?" stuttered Hazuki. Ash grinned to the sight.
"Talk about a welcome to the Pokémon World by watching their evolution!" he pointed out. The Metapods hatched and Butterfree emerged. From Silcoons, the stringy-nose black butterflies flew up. "Butterfree and Beautifly flying up to greet us from Geminar."
"That's so cool!" awed Kenshi.
"Our first experience with this and it's beautiful!" cheered Ceres.
"Sure is!" agreed Hazuki. That's when Chiaia, Delia and Pikachu came around to find the kids.
"ASH!" called out Delia. Everyone turned to Delia with shock.
"MOM!" gawked Ash. Pikachu reached Ash, only to find Ash's shoulders occupied with two Koro. Ash's Koro hopped off to see Pikachu as Delia hugged Ash.
"Chiaia told me what happened!" she cried. "I'm so glad you're okay!" Ash hugged Delia back before she began to kiss Ash on the face several times. Lashara and Maria watched as they saw Delia in real life.
"So that's… our mother-in-law," Maria noticed. "I can see why she can be liked." Hearing "mother-in-law," Delia slightly pushed Ash up.
"Mother… in-law?" she repeated. "Ash, what's going on? Why was I referred as a mother-in-law?" Ash billowed a sigh, knowing what's about to happen as a Koro mewed to Delia. She knelt down and had the Koro run up her arm. "And what's this cute little creature?" Koro nuzzled to Delia's face. "Rather affectionate for sure."
"Mom, that's a Koro," Ash answered as his Koro mewed from his shoulder. "I got one that I raised while I helped Chiaia and her friends. Looks like that one wants to be with you." Pikachu's squeaking confirmed Ash's claim.
"A Koro, huh?" repeated Delia as she petted Koro. "And about this mother-in-law?" Ash turned to Lashara and Maria and managed to steel himself.
"There are two women who I want to introduce you to," Ash introduced as he brought Delia to his wives.
"Delia Ketchum," Maria started. "I know this is the first time meeting you. I am Maria Nanadan-Ketchum." Lashara nodded before addressing Delia.
"And I'm Lashara Earth-Ketchum," she named herself.
"Just yesterday, Lashara and I declared our lives to be with your son," Maria informed.
"In other words," Lashara summed up. "We married Ash." Delia gasped and began to tear up.
"You two… married my boy?" she wallowed.
"It's true, Mom," Ash sighed. "Lashara and Maria are my wives." It took a few seconds for Delia to realize the ordeal when she cried and hugged Ash once more.
"I'm so proud of you!" she cried. "I knew one of these days that you'd be loved! Sure, I was expecting one but I'm in heaven with two!" She hugged Lashara and Maria. "Welcome to the family!" Her tears made Lashara and Maria giggle. Finally, she saw Ceres and Hazuki and met. "Are you two also married?" Ceres and Hazuki giggled.
"We may be together but not like that," Ceres clarified. "Well, at least not yet. I'm Ceres Tyte and this is my girlfriend, Hazuki."
"Hello, Mrs. Ketchum," Hazuki greeted. Delia smiled and Chiaia came up.
"This is the pair who wanted to start a new life here?" the mother asked.
"It's them," Chiaia confirmed. To Delia, an idea.
"We've got a lot to talk about," she believed. "Why not we all go home to situate ourselves? Mimey will be glad to see you back, Ash."
"Good idea!" agreed Ash.
"Well, I'd like to stay, but Chiaia and I need to settle things back at our home," Kenshi excused.
"We do," Chiaia accepted before heading to Ash. She knelt and hugged him. "I think I should be like Lithia and call you a little brother as well." Ash laughed to the thought. That's when Kenshi had something else.
"By the way, Ash," he spoke. "Here!" He presented a crystal. This shocked Chiaia.
"One of your crystals you dug up?" she gasped.
"Think of it as our time together." Ash awed the crystal before he removed his cap and slipped it on Kenshi's head.
"You have something for me to remember you by," he sneered. "Why not one in return?" Kenshi laughed before joining Chiaia and to the cave.
"See ya!" waived Kenshi before he and Chiaia headed back down the tunnel… before Chiaia sprung her head up.
"Oh, Lashara?" she called. "Maria? Don't let him go after another girl." Finally, she vanished.
"If Chiaia's worried about me with another girl, she can put that worry to the side," Ash shrugged.
"I was meaning to ask," Maria brought up. "If not for the both of us, was there another girl like Lapis or Wahan?" Ash scoffed to Maria's question.
"That's easy," he replied. "No one." Lashara gasped to Ash's response.
"No one?" she repeated. "So, it was us all the way?"
"Not really," Ash corrected. "More like I wouldn't look for love. That just leads me away from my journey." To Pikachu, there's another reason.
("Ash is not Brock,") he pointed out.
"Well, at least you have us," Lashara eased as she held the hand of her ring Ash gave her yesterday.
"Let's go home!" urged Maria as she held the other hand, her hand that slipped the ring on Ash's finger. With Lashara and Maria holding his hands, their husband began to walk to Pallet Town and to the future.
(Three Months later/Nimbasa City)
In a city, Ash, Lashara and Maria were shopping around. Ash wore a white spring jacket and his Koro hung around as Lashara sported a red blouse with matching windbreaker pants and maroon high-heel shoes. Also with them was a green-haired young man in a waiter's outfit and a tanned purplette in a cream-colored sweater and slacks. "Elesa knows fashion well!" sounded Maria. She emerged from a dressing room with a white blouse under a blue vest and blue skirt. She also wore white biker shorts and inch-high blue heels.
"Not too shabby, Maria," Ash agreed.
"Indeed, she's got Elesa's design sense down pat," Lashara smiled.
"Seriously, they celebrate Ash's Nimbasa Gym victory with shopping?" snorted the tanned girl. "What little kids!" A faint greet creature with huge tusks protruding from its mouth agreed from inside the hair of the tanned girl. It had a headfin and barked to agree.
"Now, Iris," irked the green-haired. "It's best not to get upset. Besides, this is Ash treating them. They've got unified power, which further expresses the robust blend of their marriage." Iris groaned to the thought. After making their purchases, everyone stepped out of the store.
"So, Cilan," Maria spoke. "Do you have anything to pick up?"
"Not off the top of my head, Maria," he shrugged. Suddenly…
"There they are!" sounded Wahanly. The five heard the shout and turned. Coming was Kenshi, Aura, Yukine, Wahanly, Lithia, Lapis, Mexiah and Chiaia. Mexiah looked to be in her school teacher garb.
"Everyone from the Academy!" recognized Maria. Ash and Kenshi bumped forearms.
"Kenshi!" cheered Ash.
"Hey, Ash!" welcomed Kenshi. Everyone got to see the married trio joined by Iris and Cilan.
"How is everyone?" wondered Lashara.
"Splendid," Mexiah cooed. "And it seems this marriage is going strong?"
"It is," Ash confirmed. "In fact, Lashara and Maria are strong wives with our gym battles like in Striaton City with Cilan and his brothers." All three showed off a badge which had a piece of blue, green and red on it in diamond shapes.
"There's no question Ash, Lashara and Maria have what it takes in many years," Cilan trusted. Lapis saw and approached Cilan.
"Are you a friend of Sir Ash?" she guessed. Lithia gawked and leaned to Lapis' ear.
"Lapis, they don't need to know about that status," she warned. Already with cheeks reddening, Lapis gasped and covered her mouth.
"I-I'm sorry…" she apologized. "But… I…" Then, she clasped Cilan's hands. "Is there anything I can do for you?" Cilan began to become red in the face with shock and embarrassment.
"We- Well…" he stuttered. Ash and Kenshi were getting back to old times.
"The Swan still flies for you and the academy?" asked Ash.
"Oh, it does," Kenshi nodded. "But the search for my hands are over." Ash and Pikachu looked to see a ring on each hand. Aura stood on one side.
"I am now Princess Aura Shurifon-Masaki," Aura proclaimed. Yukine stood on the other side of Kenshi.
"And… I'm Yukine Mare-Masaki," Yukine claimed. "And Princess Aura and I… have tested… positive." Ash and Pikachu blinked to Yukine's claim before Wahanly came to Ash's ear.
"She means they're pregnant, but they've got a lot of time," she cleared up.
"Oh, congrats!" applauded Ash. That's when someone new came in. She was slightly taller than Ash with wild pink hair. She wore a black shirt, cargo shorts and leggings.
"So, you're the one who helped my little brother out after an accident brought him to Geminar, huh?" she believed. "Sure, you're a lot younger than Tenchi but I can see potential with some of my handiwork." No one knew of the young-looking pink-haired woman.
"Wait…" startled Ash. "Are you… Sister Washu?" The pink-haired gasped and hammer her hand.
"Oh, Kenshi did mention me!" she realized as Lashara and Maria showed off their Pokémon: Lashara's had an orange puppy, a white swan with blue feathers around the chest, a large blue reptile-like rhino with large ears, a purple humanoid-like creature with diamonds for eyes and a ruby on its chest, a round stone with a hexagon hole in its middle… and a Meowth who enjoyed Wahanly's petting.
"Definitely much friendlier than Team Rocket's Meowth," she studied. Maria had a pink rotund star-like creature with black tips for ears, a humanoid-like creature that had a flower like a crown and leaves to make a dress for itself, a tall white humanoid with a flowing skirt and a fin embedded in its chest to go with the green hair, a horned goldfish with a dress-like tail, a green dragon with buggy red eyes and a ghostly creature in an ice helmet and gown.
"From what I see," Lithia studied. "Lashara's got Growlithe, Swanna, Nidoqueen, Meowth, Sableye and Roggenrola. Maria's got Clefairy, Lilligant, Gardevoir, Goldeen, Froslass and Flygon." The girls enjoyed Lashara and Maria's Pokémon. Iris backed far from seeing Froslass.
"So, if you're married, who's she?" asked Aura to Ash.
"She's Iris who said she's from the Land of Dragons," Ash informed. "But all she's got from that type is Axew." Aura shook her head to that as Washu held Pikachu.
"I bet with enough power, this little guy can run my lab back home," she assumed.
("You have a lab?") blinked Pikachu. Mexiah finally reached Ash and hugged him.
"You don't know what it's like without you around, Ashy-poo!" she cried before kissing his cheek. This infuriated Iris as the others acknowledged how far he's gone.
"What's the matter with all of you!?" she snapped. "Stop kissing up to Ash! Little kids don't deserve love, let alone a wife or two at this stage!" This made Mexiah and Washu shoot glances like daggers at Iris when Washu inserted earplugs into his ears. Everyone watched.
"What did you say, you brat!?" snarled Mexiah. Washu pressed a button before Ash could try to remove it. The button sent a jolt that left Ash standing but unconscious.
"You might want to watch your mouth now that he's under this strict hypnotism with my invention," Washu advised as Mexiah whispered something to Ash's clogged ear.
"And why should that matter to a little kid!?" scoffed Iris. That's when Ash began to tense and extend his fingers to the will to claw. This made Iris scared. "Ash… take it easy… I know you've done a lot like cooking… and you've been getting better with Cilan…" That's when Ash made a full sprint onto Iris who ran. "STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPP!" Lashara and Maria came to Washu for an explanation.
"What did you do to our husband?" asked Lashara.
"You see, my invention taps into the subconsciousness and unleashes his Berserker Mode," Washu explained. "When she muttered those two words that I programmed with a few keystrokes, this will unleash Ash on a mission onto her."
"And he still remembers the massage training I gave him," Mexiah added.
"And here's the best part," Washu sneered. "The Berserker Mode lasts a complete hour, no more, no less… unless she says it again during his mode to which resets the Mode and she'll be in for some time in her own torture." Lashara and Maria gulped while Pikachu became fearful. After a few hours, Ash returned, but not Iris.
"Sorry about that," Ash apologized. "I don't know what happened." At the Pokémon Center, Iris cringed at moving with every part of her body aching.
"What- what did he do to me?" she shuttered. "I've… never been so… so violated in my life." Axew peeked out and pulled on Iris' ear. This caused Iris to whine in bliss. "No fair!" Meanwhile, Kenshi had revealed his Pokémon: A baby brown fox with white fur around the neck, a green mantis with blades for arms, a purple cat that stood on its hind legs, a large red penguin with a white feathers over the face and chest and carrying a sack, an orange lizard with a red mohawk crest and molding yellow skin and a Pikachu with gold fur unlike Ash's Pikachu.
"It's a good thing Iris isn't here now," Maria nagged. "That Delibird would've frighten that girl off." Lashara turned to Cilan who seemed to be looking at the cat with great concern.
"Is there a reason that Purrloin is rattling your nerves, Cilan?" she asked. Cilan feigned to answer.
"You've also got a Shiny Pikachu, an Eevee, Scyther and a Scrafty!" listed Ash. "That's Scraggy's evolved form! I just happen to have a Scraggy myself!"
"Nice!" That's when Ash remembered something else as the two Pikachus met.
"Oh, did you come across Ceres and Hazuki?"
"We did, and your mom's diner is helping in a huge way."
"Glad to hear that. Seeing your Pokémon, I wanna see how I do against yours!" This made Kenshi sneer.
"You're on!" Hearing the challenge, Cilan came forward… somewhat.
"Can you put Purrloin away, please?" he requested. "At least until you battle." Kenshi complied and returned Purrloin. "Okay, I'll officiate. This will be an official Pokémon Battle between Ash Ketchum and Kenshi Masaki! Each trainer will use three Pokémon and substitutions are legal for both sides!" Washu, Lashara and Maria stood by Ash. Aura, Yukine and Chiaia stood by Kenshi.
"I'll start with Pikachu!" declared Ash. Pikachu stood up.
"And I'll go with my Pikachu!" ordered Kenshi.
"This should be a classic," Washu grinned.
"Begin!" shouted Cilan. Both Pikachus charged at each other. No one in the world of Pokémon knows of Ash Ketchum other than being the husband of Lashara and Maria. They do not know about Ash as a hero, a knight… and a Sacred MechaMaster. They know he's one kid who can do a lot. He carries the legacy of Arthur… and the lives of many from the world of Geminar.
THE END.
(Thank you all for staying with me. Next time, I'm going back to Equestria in a new My Little Pony story.)
(Also, I do want to apologize for the Diphalia bit. I did want to try something new, and it is a real medical mystery… however, not only was it poorly timed, it was not appropriate. I am sorry about it and promise to not include that again in future M-Rated stories. There will be more out there but not to the extent of using medicine to justify inclusions like that.)
