The Kalos Champion Chapter 4
After the arrival of Professor Oak and Ash's mother Delia, the opening ceremony begun with officially confirming that Ash was indeed the champion. After having his powerful Charizard light the torch, the battles began with the one of the first being Max vs Drew. This made things interesting as Max used Ash's former Heracross and Drew used his disaster pokemon Absol. Both pokemon seemed equally matched throughout the entire match but after taking one final focus blast Absol fell. Soon after shaking hands with Drew, Max turned his attention to the champion reminding him that Ash owes him a battle and vows to be Ash's opponent. The first day of the tournament was exciting and with the final match schedule for tomorrow between Misty and Iris the next day of the tournament will not disappoint. Now we find the group of friends making their way back to the gym after a fantastic dinner.
"Oh man I love going to that restaurant" Ash said patting his stomach as Dawn and Serena walked on either side of him. In front of the trio were Cilan and Paul talking about strategies, behind them was Bonnie and Korrina talking about the Kalos league, behind them were Clemont and Anabel talking about improvements for the battle tower and behind them were Barry and Bianca who had their arms linked.
As Ash looked around he smiled at what incredible friends he had, "I love you guys so much!" He yelled as he put one arm around Dawn and Serena giving them each a kiss on their head.
"I think Ash is broken" Dawn said making the group laugh.
"What I can't say I love you once in a while" he said looking at Dawn with a pout.
"No, she is saying you rarely show it is all so it makes us think you're broken" he looked over to his right at the beautiful Kalos queen.
"Korrina! They're being mean!" Ash whined.
"Be a man oh great champion" she said to her best friend.
"I agree with Korrina, don't let those girls talk down to you" Barry hollered from the back of the group.
"Like you're one to talk Barry" Ash said making Paul laugh a bit.
"What's so fun mister I rather train than get myself a girlfriend" Barry said as a comeback to Paul's laugh.
"Don't even go there!" Paul said looking back at his elite four.
"Not again" Bonnie said face palming.
"Not tonight you two, come on lets enjoy ourselves" Ash said not wanting the two to start a battle.
Paul had to admit he has enjoying the night out with his friends. He looked at Barry "alright I'll drop it" he said with his hands up in defeat.
"Good because I didn't want to have to kick both of your asses" Korrina said hitting the palm of one hand with her fist.
Bonnie laughed at the terrified face both teens had. She loves being out in Lumiose City with her two big brothers and her friends.
The night went peacefully as the elite trainers walked around Lumiose City, taking pictures with fans and signing some things.
"It's amazing how being in this city most people treat us so normal" Cilan said admiring the peace they have there.
"Yeah it's actually so peacefully here" Bianca said taking a big breath of air.
"Well it was peacefully until those traitors showed up" Bonnie said crossing her arms.
"It shouldn't be a surprise if they find us tonight huh?" Anabel said hoping that was not the case.
"Honestly I think we're good for tonight, I could sense the love they have for their pokemon, so I don't think they're stupid enough to try challenging one of us" Ash said looking at Anabel.
"Yeah but remember they are still them Ash, we know how determine they can be" Dawn said.
"Well honestly if they try to do anything tonight I'm not having any of it, no way anyone is ruining this night especially having my two favorite girls" Ash said with a big smile.
"Hey!" Korrina, Anabel and Bonnie said from behind them.
"Oh right, I mean five favorite girls" he said rubbing his cheek with one finger.
"I'm your little sister, I should be the only favorite you have" Bonnie said huffing her cheeks.
"Yes but you're the little sister always trying to play match maker for your big brothers" Clemont said.
"Well I just want descent big sisters is all" she said.
"Ash is an idiot, he doesn't know which one he wants" Paul said.
"I am not an idiot!" Ash barked at his elite four.
"I've truly missed this!" Cilan yelled stretching his arms upwards, everyone looked at him.
They all smiled at him enjoying this, all of this.
~ 2 hours later ~
After finally feeling tired enough to sleep they all headed back to the gym.
Along the way Bonnie felt to sleepy to walk so she wanted her big brother Ash to give her a piggy back ride, where she ended up falling asleep.
Bianca who was so tired apparently needed Barry to carry her all the way back.
When they reached the gym and took the elevator up to the living quarters, everyone said goodnight to each other, Serena helped Ash take Bonnie to her room.
"You know she is a lot heavier from when she was 8" Ash said lightly putting his adoptive sister on her bed.
"Yes but you still treat her as if she is still only 8" Serena said as she smiled at Ash putting the little Snorlax doll next to her.
"Can you really blame, she's too adorable to say no to" Ash said putting her cover over her.
"Clemont has no problem saying no" the Kalos queen said.
"That's because he knows I won't say no to my princess" he said looking at Serena.
"You really have come to call Bonnie and Clemont your family" she said as the two teens started walking to the door.
"Yeah I do" he said
They stopped when they heard Bonnie speak "where's my kiss big brother?" She whispered without opening her eyes.
Ash smiled and walked over to her and kissed her forehead. Ever since he became her official adoptive big brother she always wants Ash to kiss her forehead, she says it helps her dream.
Serena smiled at the sight she has seen many times, but never gets tired of seeing how good of brother Ash was.
Ash walked back to Serena and the two walked out of the young elite four's bedroom.
"You spoil her rotten brother" they looked at the blonde staying at his doorway.
"Yes I know, I can't help it" Ash said smiling to his adoptive brother.
"Goodnight Ash" Clemont said looking at his brother.
"Night Clem" Ash said smiling. This family sure did treat him a lot better than the one he use to have.
"Come on let's look at the stars for a bit" Serena said pulling Ash so they could head up to the point of the tower.
Once they reached the top they sat far from the ledge and looked at the stars.
"I'm glad those people turned their backs on me" Ash said looking up, Serena looked at him crazy.
"Why do you say that?" She said.
"If they hadn't done so, I wouldn't of never found a place I can truly call home" he said looking at her now or more specifically into her blue eyes, "I wouldn't have meet you again neither".
She stared into his brown eyes and let out a groan of frustration and pushed him a little. This really confused Ash "what was that for?" He said.
"For not being able to make up your mind idiot" she said looking towards the city.
"Can you really blame for having two girls that love me so much but that I love so much also that I could never hurt either" he said grabbing her hand.
Serena sighed she knew how Ash was, never wanting to hurt anybody always wanting to make everyone happy.
"Remember that time I jumped off this tower to save that Riolu?" He said wanting to change the subject, it worked but saying this earned him at hit on the head.
"How could I forget the day you made me and poor Dawn almost have a heart attack" she said angrily.
"I thought you two loved that about me" he said rubbing his head.
"We do, but that doesn't mean we want to lose you" she said grabbing his cheek and staring into his eyes once again.
"Do you remember our first kiss?" She said curious to see if he remembers or is he too stupid.
Ash sightly blushed to the blonde.
~ Flashback 2 Years Ago ~
"So when will you be challenging the elite four?" Asked a 14 year old Paul.
"Well I'd figure I train for month and go challenge Malva first" Ash said to his companion.
The group that currently consisted of Ash, Dawn, Bonnie and Paul were eating at a local restaurant in Anistar City. It has been 2 weeks since Ash won the Kalos leauge and had earned the right to challenge the elite four. Clemont and Serena were away tending to gym leader stuff and Serena was Kalos queen so that kept her busy and away from the group, but she would be arriving shortly.
"She's a fire type specialist, any ideas on who you're going to be using?" Dawn asked.
"So far I'm only certain of Greninja and Garchomp" he said taking a bite of his burger.
"So you need two more, why not use Infernape and Charizard?" Paul suggested.
"I've thought of that but Infernape's fighting type moves would be no good" he said. He wanted to use his two fire types but wasn't sure of the idea was good.
"I suggest Goodra" they turned to see a smiling 14 year old Serena standing near the table.
"Serena!" Bonnie said excited to see the older blonde. She jumped from her chair and gave her a big hug.
"Aww missed me Bonnie?" Serena said stroking the younger girl's hair.
Bonnie looked up at her and shook her head "yes big brother Ash was being mean to me" she said pouting.
Ash nearly choked on his food and glared at his adoptive little sister, she loves when Serena or Dawn get him in trouble.
"Ash?" Serena said raising an eyebrow and placing one hand on her hip.
"No, no, don't tell me you believe her" he said standing from his chair "Paul tell her Bonnie is lying" he gave him a pleading look.
"Don't look at me I told you not to mess with her" Paul said smirking.
"So Ash are you going to tell me what you did to little innocent Bonnie" Serena said getting closer to Ash.
"I swear nothing right Dawn?" He said turning his head back to the bluenette hoping if anyone would help it would be her.
"I don't Ash I mean you were being pretty mean" Ash's mouth dropped when she said this, they were all against him.
He turned back to Serena, "please Serena I'll do anything for you to believe me" he said closing the space left in between them.
She looked up at him "anything?" She questioned.
"Yes you name it and I'll do it" he said.
"Hmm I don't know, I am the Kalos queen I can basically get whatever I want" she said getting on tip toe and placing her hands on his chest.
Ash blushed a little as she leaned in closer to his face. Was he dreaming or was this really happening, was he and Serena really about to kiss. He decided it would be best to give her this so he wouldn't be punished for nothing.
He leaned closer and closer, until finally their lips meet together. This feeling he was feeling all around his body was completely different from his first kiss.
They pulled away when the scream of a girl from behind them could be heard through all of Kalos.
Serena moved her head to see her best friend fuming with jealousy "looks like I beat you" she said sticking her tongue out and winking at her. She turned her attention back to Ash "so how was your first kiss?" She said smiling oh so proudly.
Ash rubbed the back of his head and laughed nervously "uh well you see umm that wasn't my first kiss" he said, he looked at Serena who now had real angry eyes staring at him.
"What do you mean" she said not breaking the intense stare.
"I'd like to know about this to" Dawn said walking next to Serena giving the poor boy the same stare.
"Oh he's a goner" Paul whispered to Bonnie.
"Does this mean you're giving me double?" She whispered to him. Paul bet that she couldn't get her dearest big brother Ash in trouble because she loved him to much.
He looked at the 12 year old "you wish" he said to her.
"Well answer Ash" both girls said to him.
"Well it just kinda happened back when I was training for the league" he said while blushing.
"Who was she!?" Dawn said staring him down for an answer.
"I can't you that" he answered
"Why not?" Serena said
"I promised I wouldn't tell you two" he said.
~ End of Flashback ~
"You know it's been two years, you can tell me now right" Serena said looking at Ash.
"Sorry Serena but I promised" he said looking at her pouting.
"Fine" she said, she knew Ash wouldn't budge especially if it came to keeping a secret.
"Well I should get to bed, it's been a great night" she said giving Ash a kiss on the cheek goodnight.
Ash watched her walk to the entrance of the roof and disappeared into it.
"I have the best friends anyone could ever ask for" he said looking up at stars.
"Indeed you do master" a figure said to Ash who turned his head in the direction of the voice.
"You're back already, did you find anything" he said to the figure.
"Unfortunately no, sorry master" the figure said to the champion.
"It's okay they'll make their move eventually" he said.
"Another thing is, those traitors are here aren't they" the figure spoke with a bit of anger in his voice.
Ash nodded in response "yeah they are here my friend".
"Will you need me to crush them?" It said.
"No, not yet anyways if they try to harm any of my friends than yes" Ash standing now feeling tired himself, "Goodnight my friend" he said to the pokemon.
"Goodnight master" he said disappearing.
Ash got to the living room and went to kitchen for a glass of milk.
"You know you're going to regret staying up this late champion" Ash turned around to see Anabel standing next to the counter.
"So will you maiden" he said looking at his friend, with the glass in his hand he signaled to her if she would like a glass of milk.
She shook her head as she went over to a jar that had cookies for them to eat together.
"So what were you and Serena talking about?" She said sitting across from Ash at the table.
"You know the usually lovey stuff" he said reaching for a cookie.
"Did she ask about the kiss again?" She said taking a bite of her cookie.
"Yeah but it's weird today she didn't push subject" he said looking at her.
She smiled at him "glad the champion can keep a promise after two years" she said.
This made Ash blush, the last person the girls would suspect was his first kiss was staring into his eyes.
"Yeah and sometimes they would try to beat it out of me" he said taking a drink of his milk.
She laughed at him "you know, allowing them to have that power over you makes them more scary" she said finishing her cookie.
"Yeah, but I like it, it keeps me in check" he said smiling at her.
"You're so weird Ash" she said
"How so?" He asked
"Most guys would love to have a girl like Serena or Dawn but you seem to not want either" she said to the champion.
"It's not that I don't want to be with either of the two, it's just when I choose one I'll lose the other" he said looking down at his milk.
"Seems pretty selfish to me Ash" she said looking at him curiously.
"Well see, Dawn has always argued with me and I love that about her she speaks her mind and doesn't back down from me, which is why we would be perfect together, she can keep me under control" he said "with Serena we treat each other like soul mates as if we were meant for each other, never arguing and always agreeing with each other, so it just makes it difficult to know who I want to be with" he added on.
Anabel looked at him, she could sense both of the strong feelings for each girl. "You're hopeless Ash, even your feelings are equal for them" she said to him.
"I know but at least I have friends who can bare with me" he said laughing at himself.
"Well we should go to sleep it's already 4 am and the second day of the tournament starts at 12 pm" she said standing from the chair and leaving the empty glass in the sink.
"Yeah you're right, I just hope the others don't try waking up us too early" he said standing.
"Goodnight champion" she said walking to her room.
"Goodnight salon maiden" he said smiling.
He walked into his room and walked over the his desk that had a bunch of pictures with his friends. He looked at one in particular, this one was taking after he defeated the previous champion of Kalos. He put the picture back in its place and collapsed on his bed smiling at the fun he had today with his friends and family.
~ 6 hours later ~
"Ash wake up!" Dawn yelled through his door.
He opened his eyes and groan at being awaken so early according to Ash time.
"Dawn, why you gotta be so loud?" He said walking to the door and opening it, to reveal an irritated bluenette.
"I gotta be so loud because I've been trying to tell you for the past hour that breakfast is ready" she said placing both hands on her hip.
"Oh right I need food" he said his arms upwards and walking past Dawm.
He made his way to the dining room with Dawn close behind him.
"Good morning princess" Ash said kissing Bonnie's hair and ruffling it a bit.
"Good morning big brother" she said smiling looking up at him.
"Good morning Clemont" he said giving his brother a fist bump as he sat next to him, "good morning everyone" he said smiling to his friends.
"So Ash sleep well?" Bianca asked
"Yeah why do you ask?" He asked
"Oh because my fearless leader Anabel came back to the room late last night" she said smirking at probably getting Ash in trouble.
"You're nuts Bianca" he said trying not to start a fuss this morning.
"I'm with Bianca on this one, the two of you were pretty loud last night" Cilan said taking a sip of his coffee.
"They were what!?" Both Dawn and Serena yelled.
"Cilan don't" Ash said looking at his Unova campion.
He put on a smirk and continued to drink his coffee ignoring the girls.
"Besides all we were doing was talking, not doing whatever Cilan and Bianca are implying" Ash said staring at his snickering friends.
"Enough about Ash's love life, let's talk strategy since today we will be battling" Paul said.
"Well we know Max, May and Gary will be facing us but what we don't know is who will win out of Misty and Iris" Barry said.
They looked to Ash who knew both girls better than anyone there.
"Well Misty has always wanted to be a water master and Iris wants to be a dragon master" he said.
"So Misty should win, water types can learn ice type moves" Bonnie said.
"Yes but dragon types can learn electric type moves, so really one doesn't have an advantage over the other" Ash said.
"As far as we know Max, May and Gary are diverse trainers, using any type" Paul said.
"Yeah and Gary likes to relay mostly on power, Max is more like Paul wanting to use types to be at advantage, May is a coordinator so hitting her pokemon will not be easy unless she is the one attacking" Cilan said.
"Will our matches will be one on one so we don't even know what pokemon they'll be using" Barry said.
"Cilan check if Blaziken, Sceptile, and Dragonite have been released from the pokemon center" Clemont said, he was thinking that if those were released that without a doubt they'll use them.
"It's says here that all have been released but the only cleared for battle is Sceptile" Cilan said looking at his laptop.
"Well at least we know what pokemon Max will use" Paul said.
"Well that won't be fun since Dedenne beat it with one thunderbolt" Bonnie said getting up from the table to put her plate in the sink.
"Well they just got to the Kalos region we expect them to be all that strong" Ash said taking the last piece of bacon from the table.
"So really you guys shouldn't worry about them" Dawn said from her seat next to Ash.
"Just try not to destroy the stadium if one of insults Ash again" Serena said.
"We all know they can't promise that" Anabel said laughing along with Serena.
"Well Ash has helped all of us and we will not let anyone speak ill of him" Paul said.
"Paul is right, we won't let them speak that way of Ash" Barry said agreeing with his elite four.
"Yeah, besides Ash is my best friend I'll crush anyone who speaks badly of him" Korrina said standing up.
Ash just smiled at everyone around him, "my life is great" he thought to himself.
"Alright we should head for the stadium" Ash said standing from his seat.
~ 4 Hours Later ~
"Alright we are know one battle away from deciding the final four contestants, we had Max from group A move on with his power house duo Sceptile and Exploud, then we had the coordinator May the older sister of Max easily take her division with the combination of Blastoise and Venusaur, we had their friend Gary destroy his opponent with Electivire and Umbreon" the announcer said.
The tournament went well for the group of traitors with each one winning in their group. Now all that was left was a battle to decide wether it be Misty or Iris.
"Now to see who is stronger" Ash thought to himself. He was probably the most eager of the group to see this battle.
"Now we have another clash between friends, we have Misty the water specialist and the dragon master Iris!" The announcer said the crowd cheered loudly for the two girls.
Both girls walked to their own side and prepared for the double battle that would beginning shortly.
"Now let the battle begin" he said
"Come on out" Misty said, she released two water types that had an extra type.
First it was the purple star pokemon Starmie who was part psychic, next to it was the powerful dragon of the sea Kingdra.
"Oh surprise surprise Misty pulled out the big guns" Iris said as her two chosen pokemon were released.
One was the pseudo legendary Salamance and standing next to it was the pseudo legendary of Sinnoh Garchamp.
"Oh this is going to be entertaining" said the champion.
"Kingdra use dragon pulse!" Misty commanded.
"Garchamp counter it with dragon rush" Garchamp charged the upcoming attack.
