The Kalos Champion Chapter 6
During the intense battle between Misty and Iris, we got a look back on the day Delia and Johanna met. Where the encounter ended in a battle to determine if Johanna would give up the location of Ash's whereabouts, in which Delia loses. The battle keeps raging on with Garchomp and Kingdra knocking each other out, Misty managed to win by using the technique Ash invented the counter shield. Afterwards the four remaining challengers chose the respected elite four trainer to fight against. Only the one that beats the elite four they chose can advance to challenge the champion. Now we find the group making their way to the stadium for the final day of the tournament with Bonnie's match being the first one of the day.
"You nervous Bonnie ?" Dawn asked the youngest of the group. She was worried for the blond because she hardly slept last night and even this morning she barely ate breakfast or even said a word.
Bonnie looked at the bluenette and gave her a grin that reminded her of Ash. "Not at all, more like excited, I was so excited I could hardly sleep last night" she said smiling.
"Maybe her and Ash are blood related" Dawn thought to herself looking at the determination in Bonnie's eyes. "Well it has been a while since you last had an official battle and someone like you just loves having an audience" she said to the girl.
"Of course I do what's the point in beating someone if no one can see" the young blond said.
"Yeah that's why Ash had princess get her own stadium" a irritated Paul said from behind the two girls.
Bonnie stuck her tongue out at the older boy, whilst Dawn giggled at the sight.
"I never did ask Bonnie, why did you want your own stadium" she asked, the young girl turned her attention back to Dawn. "Oh well honestly I didn't like battling in a chamber and no one was ever allowed to watch, so I told Ash and he had the league build me a personal stadium so everyone can enjoy my battles" she said smiling as big as possible.
"That's why challengers refer to you as the princess of Kalos" Paul said. He was probably the only one who ever complained about the stadium. Korrina had loved the idea and Barry was more on board with it than Ash.
"Jealous much" Bonnie said
"Spoiled much" he snarled
"Ash!" Bonnie said in a adorable voice
Ash turned his attention away from Serena to see Paul a little ticked off and Bonnie pouting with Dawn nervously smiling. He sighed knowing what the two are probably more likely arguing about, "Paul give it a rest the stadium is near completion" he said to his rest all he got in returned was his signature 'hmph'.
With that settled he turned his attention back to the Kalos queen, "sorry, those two are still arguing about the staduim" he said smiling.
Serena let out a soft giggle "Paul still can't get over that" she said.
"Maybe he wants his own staduim" Ash said with a playful smile, making Serena laugh knowing all to well Paul would hate that more than Bonnie getting her own.
"Why does he prefer solitary confinement ?" She asked the champion.
"Well he wants a fair fight, he doesn't want to know anything about an opponent before a battle, he thinks it'll be more of a challenge that way" Ash said. "Although you use to prefer knowing an opponents pokemon and strategy before a battle" he thought while looking at the strongest of the elite.
"He must bored stiff that no one has ever made it past Korrina" his train of thought was broken by the beauty next to him. "You have no idea, but the real problem is Barry, he whines like a baby" Ash said.
"That's a given he can be more hyperactive than Bonnie sometimes" she said, making Ash chuckle lightly at the all but fairly true statement.
A little ways behind Anabel smiled at the two teens, she hadn't felt this happy in a long time now she was actually happy Bianca convinced her to come.
"Penny for your thoughts" she snapped out of her trance and looked at her fellow frontier brain Cilan.
"I'm just really glad I came is all" she said smiling to the older teen.
"I know what you mean, I haven't felt this way since becoming a frontier brain" he said as he saw Anabel give him a weird look. "It's not that I don't enjoy being one, it's more like we never have a time to relax, since Ash and the others are so strong that trainers rather test their luck at the frontier" he added to his earlier statement.
Anabel looked at the group in front of her all the elite four expect Barry who was behind them with Bianca and Ash the champion. She knows what Cilan is feeling, some trainers hardly even get past the sixth gym anymore and since that can discourage a young trainer they rather test their luck with the frontier challenge. "I like it" she said as Cilan looked at her "I think of it more as a training method, we've had 8 trainers beat all of us and out of the 8, 3 were able to collect all the badges and face off against Bonnie".
Cilan smiled he never really thought of it that way, "training them huh" he thought to himself.
• 10 minutes later •
"All right ladies and gentlemen it is time to start the final day of tournament!" The announcer said amping up the crowd. "We'll being shortly with the first match of the day being Bonnie vs May" this made the crowd cheer louder.
~ The traitors ~
"Nervous May" Max said taking a seat next to his sister. They were currently in the challengers locker room along with Misty and Gary discussing their strategy.
May looked at him "a little actually" she said, this however was a lie she was absolutely nervous, the last time she battled an elite four member things didn't go so well for her precious Blaziken.
She felt a hand on her shoulder she turned to see Misty smiling at her, this calmed the younger teen's nerves a little.
"Don't be, just stick to the plan" Max said with a confident smile.
"He's right May, if things go right they'll hold back" Gary said.
~ The elite four ~
"Yes finally I get to battle in front of an audience" said a happy Bonnie.
"You sure are excited Bonnie" Korrina said smiling at the young girl.
"There isn't any reason I shouldn't be" she said.
"Bonnie has the right attitude!" Barry said standing up holding a fist into the air.
"Lets make sure none of them even get close to Ash" Korrina said smiling.
Paul watched them smiling "sorry guys but that isn't going to work" he thought to himself.
~ The stadium ~
"Okay first let me introduce the winner of group C, May!" The announcer as the brown hair girl walked out towards the battle flied with a determined look on her face.
"Next with great honor I introduce to you Bonnie of the elite four!" He said as she walked out while fireworks went off.
"Was that really necessary" May thought angrily to herself.
"That's our Bonnie" Clemont said making the group laugh.
"All right this will be a one on one match, with the match being over when the others pokemon can no longer battle, now let the battle being!" He said as the cheers shook the stadium.
"Come on out Gallade!" Bonnie yelled as she released the Psychic/Fighting onto the field.
May looked at this Gallade no doubt it's strong but she wondered what the pokemon was wearing around it's waist, it was a belt with a stone matching that of the stone on Bonnie's necklace only it was bigger.
"No matter, I can win" she thought to herself ignoring the object "okay I choose you!" She said tossing the pokeball.
"Krookodile!" The pokemon ground/dark type roared.
If there was anything special about this Krookodile it's that it is wearing red sunglasses.
"Ash, now they're using your Krookodile" Cilan staring at the pokemon.
"Oooh that's their strategy use my old pokemon to get petty from the elite" Ash said with an amused grin.
"Should we tell Bonnie" the older boy said.
"Nah let her fight without holding back, I really don't care how injured it gets, I want her to enjoy herself" he said smiling.
"Gallade charge it!" Bonnie said as her pokemon ran toward the opposing pokemon.
"Keep it at range, stone edge" May said as Krookodile stomped one foot down to summon the rocks from beneath the ground and in the direction of the fighting type.
"Break through all of them with close combat" Gallade didn't waver as it used his move to break through the stone with ease.
"Damn it, it is strong" May thought to herself as she watched the pokemon break through stone.
Once Gallade got close enough it waited for his trainer next command, "ice beam!" With both hands used the attack at close range to send Krookodile sliding back to May.
May looked at the panting pokemon "she didn't finish it in one hit so she is holding back, she must know this Krookodile once belonged to Ash or could she be holding back just for fun, alright time to counter" she thought. "Now Krookodile charge it while using shadow ball" the dark type did as told and went forward while launching multiple shadow balls.
"Use detect so not a single one can hit you and when Krookodile gets close enough use close combat" just as Bonnie said Gallade's eyes glow blue as it saw the shadow balls coming at it in slow motion easily dodging them. When Krookodile came into range it prepared for the next move.
May smirked "now sending it flying with dark pulse" the dark type opened it's mouth and hit Gallade directly with it's attack, sending the pokemon sliding back to it's trainer.
"Not bad at all but that Krookodile isn't yours is it" Bonnie yelled out to May.
"Got that right, this is one of Ash's former pokemon who is currently traveling with Gary" she told the blond. May got a wicked smile from the shocked look on the young girls face "so she didn't know".
"No one wonder it's strong enough to go toe to toe with Gallade at half power" Bonnie thought looking up to her brother Ash. Her mouth basically could of hit the floor at what she was seeing, Ash was smiling.
"It's alright Bonnie, don't hold back!" He shouted down at her.
"Hold nothing back" she said to herself as she gripped her necklace, "how could I possibly hurt one of big brother Ash's pokemon" she thought herself. Although Ash said not to hold back she couldn't bring herself to hurt the creature, "Gallade!" She snapped back to reality as her beloved pokemon came crashing at her feet. It had taken another dark pulse directly "oh no Gallade, are you alright" she said to him.
"Gallade!" The pokemon shouted back at his trainer, "but that use to be one of Ash's pokemon" she said looking down at her feet.
"Bonnie nows not the time to be kind" Ash thought to himself.
Gallade had enough and went charging at the pokemon.
"Send it back with iron tail" May said as Krookodile easily dodged the charging Gallade hitting it with it's attack right in the waist wear it had it's mega stone. As it went back to it's trainer the belt came off and landed next to Bonnie's feet.
Bonnie looked at the item and back at her pokemon that was bruised and beaten but that didn't stop it from getting back up.
"Gallade" she whispered slowly
"Bonnie!" She flinched at the voice and looked up to see who yelled "Paul" she thought to herself.
"Listen don't forget what that stone means, don't forget thats one of the pokemon that turned it's back on Ash, don't forget your an elite four, Gallade isn't holding back because it wants to prove something, but it still needs you to show them that Ash is an amazing teacher" he shouted to the girl.
"Amazing teacher" she whispered

"Alright Gallade psycho cut" a 11 year old Bonnie said as her pokemon cut a stone in half with the sword made of psycho cut.
"He's getting better with that attack" she turned around to see a 13 year old Ash walking to her.
"Big brother Ash!" She yelled happily as she jumped into his arms giving him a bear hug. She missed her beloved adopted brother who was currently training for the upcoming Kalos league in a couple months.
"Sorry I was gone for a month" he said as sincere as possible. He truly does feel sorry for not being able to spend more time with the one person that loves him the dearest.
"It's okay I know your training will pay off, just like it did with Gallade" she said letting go of him.
"That's just because he has an amazing trainer" he said patting the girl's head. She shook her head "no thats because he has an amazing teacher" she said with a bright smile.
"You really think he got so strong because of me" he said pointing to himself.
She nodded her head as did her Gallade, she noticed that his smile disappeared "whats wrong?" She said concerned.
He looked at the young girl "I was just thinking if I was just an amazing trainer why did most of my pokemon turn their backs on me" he said sadly.
"Maybe if I was stron-" he was cut off by Bonnie, "your the strongest and the greatest teacher, they're the weak ones" he looked at the girl eyes who had a fiery spark in them. This made him smile that someone had such faith in him.
"Let me ask you this do you think I can win the Kalos league" he asked her.
"Of course there isn't anyone stronger than you!" She shouted with joy.
He patted her head once again "thanks princess" he said smiling.
"Besides if I ever see any of those people, I'll show them how strong you've made me and my pokemon, I promise" she said flexing her non existing muscles this made Ash laugh.
"Oh here I brought you this" he said as he brought out a case and opened them to reveal a mega stone and a galladenite.
Bonnie's eyes lit up as bright as stars "really for me" she said, he shook his head and she happily took the present.
"Look Gallade now we can become stronger together, thank you big brother" she said hugging him.
"Hey you two! Lunch is ready" they turned around to see Clemont shouting from the back patio of their house.
"Looks like lunch is ready, race you there" he said pulling away from the girl and sprinting off.
"No fair!" She pouted as she returned Gallade and ran after Ash.
• End of Flashback •
"Not so tough now are you, you're weak just like your big brother Ash" May shouted at her.
This snapped her attention back to the battle, she looked at Gallade who had anger in his eyes. "That's right, Ash taught me everything I know, he gave me strength, he gave Gallade strength" sensing the feelings of his trainer, Gallade grabbed the belt and looked at Bonnie in the eyes.
"Time to show them" she said to Gallade who nodded in response.
"You're wrong May, my brother isn't weak neither one of them are, Ash believes in me and I in him, now it's time to truly show you the power Ash gave me" she said as she touched her stone as four streams of energy came out and connect with the four coming from Gallade's, soon he was covered in a bright light that shone throughout the entire staduim.
"Is this" May said to herself as she watched the pokemon undergo a evolution.
~ The traitors ~
"She could mega evolve this whole time" Max said to himself with a shocked expression.
"Professor have you ever seen anything like this before" Brock asked the older man.
"No this is my first time ever witnessing a mega evolution" he said with his index and thumb cupping his chin.
"What so special about mega evolution?" Tracy asked Brock.
"It's a higher from of evolution some pokemon can achieve as long at the bond with their trainer is strong and as long as they have a mega stone" Brock explained, he than looked at the champion and his elite four "each one of them has one" he turned to Dawn and Serena "they do as well, that explains so much" he was more than surprised to see each of them having power that was unexplainably rare.
~ The battle ~
"This is mega evolution, our true power that we obtained with a bond stronger than you'll ever understand, meet mega Gallade!" Bonnie shouted as her mega now stood prouder than ever before.
May clenched her fist "damn it just how strong are you, how strong did Ash make you" she whispered to herself. "You're still weak, Krookodile multiple shadow balls" the dark type launch 8 shadow balls at the mega.
"Cut them all Gallade" the mega nodded and summoned up the sword like psycho cut.
"Professor whats with that psycho cut" Brock asked as he watched Gallade easily cut the shadow balls.
"I'm not even sure what to say, this girl and her pokemon are full of surprises" he said. "Just like when Ash was younger" he thought.
May was getting angrier as Bonnie was now making her look like a trainer that had a baby pokemon.
"Stone edge" Krookodile stomped the ground as the rock type move made its towards the mega and it promptly hit it's target, creating a cloud of smoke. "Not so tough even with that power up" May said mockingly.
Bonnie only smirked as the smoked cleared revealing Gallade standing on the attack. May looked shocked "damn it I got a head of myself and forgot rock type moves do almost to nothing against a fighting type" she said to herself.
As the attack disappeared Gallade landed gently on it's feet unaffected by the attack. "How you feeling Gallade" Bonnie shouted as the mega nodded his head signaling he was more than fine.
"Ahhh no I refuse to believe your this strong because of Ash!" May shouted at her opponent.
"Well you better start believing, my big brother trained me and it's because of his training that I can stand as one of his elite four" Bonnie said glaring at the girl.
"How!? How could he a had made you this strong ? Why would he help you so much and not me!?" May shouted as her eyes started to water up.
Bonnie flinched at this "whats the real reason you hate Ash?" She thought to herself "he made me this strong because I stuck by his side unlike you" she said to the older girl.
"Why should I have stuck by his side when he didn't stick by mines" May yelled as a tear slid down her cheek.
"No doubt now, she never wanted Ash to give up on his dream, she just wanted to be with him when he reached it" she thought to herself. "May let me ask you this, are you in love with my brother Ash?" She asked the girl.
May flinched at the question and looked up to where Ash was, who was closely watching her awaiting her answer "yes" she said.
Drew had a horrified expression on his face "this whole time even after 6 years this is why she never gave me a chance" he thought as he balled his hand in a fist.
"So that's why she distant herself when I told her about Dawn" Ash said as he looked at the Hoenn princess.
Dawn and Serena were literally trying to burn May with their glare.
"So that's why you wanted to talk him out of his dream because he hurt you so you wanted to hurt him" Bonnie said.
May nodded her head "yes I wanted to convince him to quit travel and quit meeting new girls Dawn was hard enough competition as it was, I just wanted him to be with me" she said.
Bonnie sighed "geez Ash with all the girls that like you, you think that charm would rub off on Clemont" she thought as she laughed a bit to herself. "Well I'm sorry that's the reason you did that to him but look up there, Dawn and Serena both love him but neither one would ever try to do what you did just to keep him" Bonnie said pointing to Dawn and Serena.
May looked up to meet the girl's stare and looked back down at her feet "no what I did was right and If I want Ash to be with me forever I'll defeat both of them" she said staring at the Kalos queen and the coordinator champion. "I'll start by defeating the girl he loves the most first" she added on as Dawn and Serena waited to see who she pointed, but both their faces looked shocked when she pointed at Bonnie.
Ash smiled to himself "guess she knows that I love my little sister the most".
Bonnie smirked "well I am his adorable, precious little sister of course he loves me the most" she said sticking her tongue at Dawn and Serena who both shook their head, "but your mistaken if you think you can defeat me" she said.
"We'll see about that, Krookodile full power dark pulse!" She said as the dark type stored the dark energy and shot it at Gallade as the attack went straight for the mega it broke the ground under it leaving a trail.
"Krookodile is strong not doubt about it, but like I said we're stronger, Gallade ice beam" the mega put both it's hands together and launch the ice move at the dark pulse. When the attacks hit each other to the surprise of the traitors Gallade's ice beam cut through the dark pulse.
"Krookodile dodge!" May shouted but it was too late as the ground type was hit by the super effective move and fell to the ground covered in buts of ice.
"Krookodile is unable to battle, the winner is Gallade and therefore the winner of the match is Bonnie" the referee said as the crowd roared for Bonnie.
Bonnie laughed and waved at the audience as her mega Gallade reverted back to a normal Gallade, she made her way toward the pokemon "thanks for not giving up on me" she said to her pokemon "Gallade" it said as he was returned to his pokeball.
She looked at May who was already making her way to the locker room, and for the first time since meeting May she felt happy to have battled her and so she shouted at the girl "May!" The older girl turned to the blond with a confused expression.
"Thanks for the great battle, it's been so long since I had last needed to use mega Gallade" Bonnie said.
"Yeah well whatever, I'm still coming for you Bonnie" May said turned around and continued to walk. "I'll be looking forward to it!" She heard Bonnie shout and she smiled to herself "just like Ash" she said softly.
~ The group ~
"Yahoo! Way to go Bonnie" Barry yelled at the youngest elite four.
"Bonnie sure has become strong" Clemont said next to his brother.
"Well she does have the two best brothers in the world" Ash said smiling.
"Wasn't it so sweet of Paul to remind her how great of a mentor you are" Korrina said nudging Paul with her elbow.
"S-shut up, I only said it so she wouldn't embarrass us by losing" he said.
"Sure it was Paul" Dawn said nudging his other side.
"Ugh I hate all of you!" He shouted as everyone shared a laugh.
"So Korrina ready for your match" Bianca asked the girl.
"You bet, Ash you said this girl was your first girl best friend right?" She said. "Yeah thats right" he said, "good as your current and only best friend I can't wait to crush her" she said cracking her knuckles.
"Please try to make it a bit entertaining" Cilan said
"Yeah Korrina I wanna see another awesome fight" Barry said.
"You'll all get it don't worry" she said giving a thumbs as she walked out and into the hallway.
While she walked the tunnel she saw Bonnie coming. "Nice job Bonnie" she said giving a thumbs up, "thanks now it's your turn" Bonnie said raising her hand for a high five.
Korrina gave her a high five and continued to walk towards the arena "remember this is to protect Ash" she said to herself as she exited the tunnel.
• Hope you enjoyed this chapter, give me some feed back. I have a favor to ask you all, I really don't know what mega Barry should get so I'll leave it up to you. Another thing I have thought about and I won't make this a AshxDawnxSerena so by the end of the shadow arc he should be with one or the other. See you guys real soon !
