Chapter 8: A Fighting Chance
The couple of trainers walked through the thick forest in the Sinnoh region, heading for the next Town in their journey. Things had been rather peaceful after their last encounter with Pokemon Hunter Jay weeks ago. And after making sure their families were okay, Dawn and Ash could relax from time to time, enjoying each other's company now more than ever. Training their Pokemon was still their priority but they didn't drill them until exhaustion.
As the two went forward, they saw a small group of people surrounding something. By the specific sounds the couple could hear, it seemed like a very intense Pokemon battle. And with the rather laughing comments of the people, Ash and Dawn could guess it was also very one-sided. It had to be a new trainer fighting someone much more experienced. Both Dawn and Ash made their way through the crowd to see the obnoxious purple-haired Paul looking in anger. His Pokemon, a small fire-covered monkey was lying beaten in the ground. The Fire starter from Sinnoh Chimchar was barely moving after been apparently beaten into a pulp.
"Wow, you lost" The dark-haired trainer from Kanto said towards Paul, sounding very sarcastic and not trying to hide it. The trainer from Sinnoh looked at Ash becoming even more angrier if it was possible. Ash rubbed his chin amending his last statement "Actually, I'm not surprised at all" But while the experienced Pokemon trainer enjoyed how Paul ate the dust and was put down a lot of pegs, he didn't like the fact Chimchar was in pain. And apparently Paul also didn't care about his injured Pokemon. That was something that angered Ash to no end.
"Shut it, Ketchum. My problem is with him!" Paul said in anger and pointed at his Chimchar forgetting about the other trainer or the viewers around him. The purple-haired trainer, however, pointed at his Pokemon with his Pokeball and a blue light covered him. It meant that Chimchar had been released from his trainer's team.
"You are just a useless creature!" The purple-haired trainer bellowed in anger raising his hand to hit the monkey. Some viewers gasped by what he was going to do. The small Fire starter covered himself with his hands in fear expecting another beating like it had always happened since he had been captured. But the attack never hit him because Ash caught Paul with his own hand and twisted Paul's arm around. The arrogant trainer struggled to get free but the dark-haired teenager wasn't not going to be overpowered by the feeble kid. Ash didn't spend so much time training with Dawn in vain.
"Leave him alone or I will break your arm!" Ash stated now no longer trying to keep his cool demeanor. Because he only wanted to punch the asshole until leaving him half dead. This wasn't the first idiotic trainer, who mistreated his Pokemon. And like the others, Ash would give them a nice wake up call by shattering some of his joints. Ash used more of his strength and quickly drove Paul down to his knees whimpering like a little girl.
Then the trainer from Kanto felt Dawn's hand in his shoulder telling him with her blue eyes to relax. Ash sighed and forcefully pushed Paul away from him. The less contact Ash had with him the healthier he would live. Paul rubbed his sore elbow glaring at the meddling trainer he despised.
"If you want a weak Pokemon, then have him!" The arrogant trainer said in anger his face red after been double humiliated in just a couple of minutes "You two are meant for each other!" Paul left not even bothering in looking back.
"He's not worth it" The lady coordinator said to her mate, holding his hand and trying to calm him down. Ash enjoyed Dawn's touch, bringing her closer to him in a one-arm hug.
"I know. Thanks for stopping me" Ash whispered, making Dawn playfully nudge him and to hug him tight. But then the Pokemon trainer remembered the free Pokemon from Sinnoh.
The small Fire starter sniffed while sitting in the soil now without a home and back on the wild. Ash kneeled and rubbed Chimchar's flame head. But he wasn't feeling any burning sensations. Years of Charizard's flame attacks aimed at his face had made the trainer a bit of fireproof. The monkey looked at the Pokemon trainer with tearful eyes.
"Don't worry, Chimchar. I don't think you are weak" Ash said towards the released Fire Pokemon honestly. The trainer from Kanto couldn't stand, when Pokemon were released and left at their own luck. Every Pokemon had potential to become powerful. And Ash was going to help Chimchar prove Paul how wrong he was by releasing him "Why don't you come with me?" The small Fire starter looked at Ash in surprise. He had just been released because he was weak. Why would he want him in his team? But then the trainer rose the small fire starter and hugged him. Chimchar felt comfortable with this new trainer. He cared for him.
"Ash, that asshole will regret ever giving you a Pokemon for free" Dawn said, landing a small kiss on her boyfriend's cheek after his actions. For someone so powerful, Ash still was a sweat and caring person. She always thought herself lucky to find him first in Sinnoh.
"And here I thought that young man had potential" A female voice suddenly stated towards the two teenagers. The couple looked at the woman in question. The two forgot that there was another person in the battlefield, if Paul had been defeated. She was just a couple of inches taller than the teens dressed in a full black outfit that snuggled against her nice curves. Her blonde hair reached down her knee with her front covering one of her vibrant blue eyes. She looked mysterious but also powerful. And undeniably beautiful. Her name was Cynthia, the current Champion of Sinnoh "Guess I was just stupid"
"You weren't stupid" Ash said. He recognized the famous and expert woman but he wasn't going to start fanboying. He wasn't ten years old anymore. What kind of message would he be sending by that?
"Hold on, aren't you Cynthia?" The bluenette asked with shock in her tone and eyes wide open "Like THE Cynthia, Champion of Sinnoh?" Ash almost laughed by Dawn's lack of subtleness.
"As far as I know, yes" The blonde teased towards the younger girl "And I know you are Dawn, a future top coordinator. Your performances are well known over the region" The teenage girl blushed by the praise from a great woman. She wasn't expecting her prowess to be known so much. Especially not from the Champion of her region.
"And you are?" Cynthia asked curious towards Ash. The fact he was been friendly towards Chimchar placed him under a good light in Cynthia's eyes. And he wasn't that bad looking either and wasn't trying to stupidly impress her.
"I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town" The future Pokemon Master introduced himself "And these are my friend Pikachu and my new friend Chimchar" The two Pokemon greeted the girl. Chimchar knew her better because he had just been beaten by her. Cynthia took Pikachu up and checking him over like a doctor would. Ash and Dawn rose an eyebrow by her odd actions.
"I see your Pikachu is very powerful" The gorgeous Championess stated with a happy tone returning the Electric starter to his trainer. Then the Champion had a weird idea. After witnessing how deep of a connection Ash already with Chimchar, Cynthia decided to test her new young acquaintance "I hope you don't mind my bluntness Ash, but what do you think about having a battle?" Everyone felt silent, including Ash. Dawn kept looking back and forth between one of her idols and her boyfriend like a very fast tennis match that she didn't want to miss.
"A battle?" Ash asked like if he was missing something. Fighting the Champion of Sinnoh wasn't what he first expected this morning to experience. But a fight was a fight, even if he could loose. But he would make sure that wouldn't happen "I can't really say no to a lady" Ash said, holding one of his Pokeballs in his hand "Let's do it one on one, shall we?" The bystanders started rumoring.
"One-on-one?" Dawn looked at her boyfriend like if he now had grown two heads. She loved Ash but sometimes he could be too crazy for his own good. Cynthia looked a bit surprised by that request. But she wasn't one to turn down such an enticing offer. He had to have some tough-trained friends.
"Fine by me" The Champion of the region said, her own Pokeball at the ready "As long as you make it interesting"
"Just try to keep up" Ash replied. Cynthia smirked slightly. Ash at least was handsome, unlike some other blockheads that thought about impressing her with brawl and no brain. Dawn was looking in shock at her boyfriend. Ash was teasing Cynthia, the most powerful Pokemon trainer of the Sinnoh region and he wasn't been blasted into the afterlife for that. Either Cynthia was finding him amusing or simply liked his comments so she could put him down later in a very humiliating away. Dawn didn't know which of the options she liked the most.
The two competitors walked to one side of the field each. Dawn stood from behind Ash. The crowd that had gathered to observe Paul's fight had at least duplicated its quantity. Rumors flew quickly for sure.
"This is a one-on-one battle between Cynthia, the Champion of Sinnoh and Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. There's no time limit and all other clauses apply. Trainers, send out your Pokemon!" The referee said.
"Okay Garchomp, battle dance!" Cynthia sent out her strongest fully-evolved Pokemon. It was a bipedal reptilian Pokemon with black, red and yellow scales and white spikes in his thighs. His arms had fin-wings and one talon instead of hands. Both Ash and Dawn checked their Pokedex for information. So Garchomp was a Dragon/Ground Pokemon. While Ash could simply send out Glalie, the trainer knew better. Cynthia didn't fight for so long to lose against type disadvantage. If anything, Ash could tell she was expecting him to use type advantage against Garchomp. Obviously because she had a way to counter it and win right away. That's why he choose another Pokeball.
"Let's go, Charizard!" Ash sent out his fully-evolved Fire/Flying Pokemon from Kanto. The powerful Dragon-like Pokemon roared to the sky firing red/blue flames out of his maw. The starter Pokemon stared down at his enemy from Sinnoh. Cynthia looked on with real surprise over her cute face. That Charizard was as big as her Garchomp. The two had to be equal in power for sure. Maybe she had finally found a proper challenge. Cynthia grinned slightly. It had been a while since she found the one to put her over the limit.
"Garchomp vs Charizard, begin!" The referee said.
"Garchomp, use Rock smash!" Cynthia ordered trying to test Ash and Charizard. The Land Shark Pokemon shot faster than a speeding bullet, one of his wings glowing dark red. The sheer velocity was too much for the audience to keep track off. But not for Ash and his powerful friend.
"Charizard, duck down!" The trainer ordered at the last second, his Pokemon ducking under the lashing wing "And Fire Fang!" Charizard bit hard on the other wing with his blazing fangs. That earned a yell of pain from Garchomp, who backtracked suffering the burning side effect from the attack.
"Now Dragon Breath!" Ash ordered taking the advantage. Charizard fired a yellow blast from his mouth at rapid speed. The Dragon move did some damage on Garchomp and started the paralysis. Cynthia didn't bother in ordering a command, knowing her Pokemon would not be able to complete it by his current condition.
"And now Seismic Toss!" The Pokemon trainer from Kanto said for last. Charizard quickly shot forward and grabbed his enemy from his arm pits. He shot up into the air and started making loops. He then started spiraling down with Garchomp. At the last second though, Charizard let go of his enemy and let him crash at high velocity with the arena. A small cloud kicked up, everyone looking in expectations. But Cynthia just stood there with her blue eye gazing stoic.
When the fog finally settled, the Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon was still standing with only bruises on his scales. The dark-haired Pokemon trainer was very surprised. Garchomp had to go through some tough battles to survive such a combo with so little damage. The Champion smiled from her side of the arena. This already proved to get thrilling.
"A great combination, Ash. My Garchomp has never been pushed so hard in a battle in such a short amount of time" Cynthia complemented happy to see her rival was more than good enough. However, it was her turn to act now "But I think it's time for me to go serious. Garchomp use Sand storm!" The Land Shark Pokemon roared and made the sand to kick up around the entire field. Charizard closed his eyes receiving some damage from the weather change.
Meanwhile Ash noticed that Garchomp had faded inside the storm like a rapidly-moving ghost. So he had Sand Veil as his ability. Now he knew why Cynthia was considered unbeatable. It was hard to defeat a Pokemon you couldn't catch and at the same time fight against the hazardous climate.
"Nice try, Cynthia" Ash said, earning an odd look from his cute blonde enemy. "Charizard, use Sunny Day!" The Fire/Flying Pokemon shot a sphere into the sky and the Sun returned with greater brightness. And Garchomp was visible again without any advantage for him. Cynthia now was serious. They could keep changing the weather all day but it would do nothing. But Ash wasn't the only one, who could use the new Sun in his favor.
"Garchomp, use Flamethrower!" The hot Champion from Sinnoh ordered her next move. Her fully-evolved Pokemon shot the amplified spew of flames from the back of his throat.
Ash almost ordered to dodge the attack. But his Pokemon didn't spend so much time living with other Charizards without receiving a fire blast to the face two or three times a day. The Fire attack, increased or not, wasn't any serious thing for his fully-evolved friend.
"Use Dragon Dance and receive it!" Charizard's body glowed red and black with increased attack and speed. The burning attack swallowed the Pokemon from Kanto but he didn't flinch at all. While his body slowly covered with small burns Charizard was still good to go. But the teenager just couldn't stop been impressed. Even without his ability acting, The Pseudo-Legend was still a tough rival.
"Garchomp use Sword Dance and Dragon Rush!" The Champion ordered, her visible blue eye full serious. The Dragon/Ground Pokemon amplified his attack by two stages, an air vacuum generating around his body. He then charged at great speeds covered in a blue Dragon-shaped aura. The trainer from Kanto let him came closer. Neither he or Charizard were afraid of him.
"Smoke Screen!" Ash ordered the counter. His Dragon-like Pokemon shot a plume of thick black smoke from his mouth. Garchomp missed his mark his blue color fading away from him.
"Now Dragon Claw!" Charizard swiftly came from Garchomp's left side faster than a bullet and hit his opponent right in the face with his purple-colored clawed hand. Garchomp screeched in pain receiving the harmful Dragon-type move and spiraling backwards. His body caved a trench in the ground of the arena until he halted to a stop.
Garchomp stood up, ready. But his heavy panting indicated he didn't have much left to give.
"Okay Garchomp, use Draco Meteor!" Cynthia ordered her strongest Dragon move. She never tried it unless completely necessary. And Ash was beyond what she had expected. She even doubted her victory.
Ash knew that the attack had a lot of power. But the Dragon Move would also lower Garchomp's special attack. Even if the attack hit Charizard or any other Pokemon nearby.
"Charizard, intercept that sphere as fast as you can!" Ash ordered making some viewers and Dawn to look at him in surprise. His Dragon-like Pokemon flew like a speeding rocket catching the orange sphere high in the sky before it exploded into a barrage of meteors. The entire audience, Dawn and even Cynthia with her Garchomp stared in utter flabbergasment towards the Pokemon of Kanto cupping the attack between his palms and straining with all of his might to keep it as one solid sphere that wouldn't explode as of yet "Send it back with Dragon Claw!" Charizard's hand shone purple again and punched the concentrated sphere back to its owner.
The Champion of Sinnoh couldn't believe it. Her own attack had cost her Garchomp to decrease his special attack and also was used against him. Ash was just no common trainer. He could compete for the title of Elite Four of his region or any region if he so wanted.
"Garchomp, use Dig!" Cynthia nimbly ordered. She still had some moves to spare before Garchomp went down. The Dragon/Ground Pokemon clawed inside the ground and lost itself beneath the rocky surface. The attack impacted the ground and spread tremors over the arena.
Ash frowned thinking up something. That was when his mind clicked together with a strategy. While his Fire Pokemon didn't know Earthquake yet, it didn't mean he couldn't improvise one.
"Charizard, fly straight to the ground with Dragon Rush!" Charizard engulfed his frame in a dark red Dragon-like aura and plummeted from the heavens above. He hit the ground and spread fissures over the entire place. Thanks to the increased attack from before, the improvised Ground move did a bit more damage. The Land Shark Pokemon was forcefully expelled from inside the soil with a yell of pain by the self-made Earthquake attack. Cynthia was biting her lower lip, not knowing how to counter such moves.
"Garchomp, start flying!" The blonde beauty ordered with seriousness in her tone, her Pokemon in danger. The Dragon Pokemon used his fin-like wings to shot up and hover.
"Don't let him go Charizard. Grab him from behind!" Charizard hastily charged through the air and quickly catched up thanks to his increased velocity. He took Garchomp in an improvised Full Nelson from in between his fin-like wings and beneath his arm pits "And use Fire Fang again!" The Fire dragon bit Garchomp right in the left shoulder, earning a yell of pain and more surges of flames running through his black-scaled frame. The Fire Pokemon from Kanto let go of his opponent, who could barely float by the built up fatigue and strain.
"Garchomp, stay strong and use Brick Break!" Cynthia ordered watching how her Pokemon was driven to the edge of his stamina. Garchomp worked through the fire and gathered energy in his fin-like wing. It shone light blue. He quickly turned around and almost took Charizard by surprise.
The word almost, very important.
"Fly over him and Iron Tail!" Ash ordered with a smile. The Fire/Flying Pokemon used his wings to quickly propel himself above Garchomp's incoming limb. The Dragon Pokemon and his mistress looked in disbelief, when Charizard rapidly spun around one hundred eighty degrees with his long tail shining like steel. The harden limb crashed with Garchomp's head and sent him spiraling down to the arena twenty feet below. A plume of smoke kicked up around the place of impact.
Charizard floated down to his side in front of his trainer, panting heavily. The fight had been strenuous. Ash only hoped that Garchomp had been put down. Because he doubted how much Charizard could keep the fight up.
Sadly for Ash, The Pseudo-Legend didn't got that particular nickname for nothing, as he still stood proud for more beating. But Cynthia wasn't looking so confident in her Pokemon's appearance.
"Okay Charizard, let's wrap this up with Dragon Claw!" Ash ordered the final attack of the match. His Pokemon charged again with his purple claws.
"Use Dig!" Cynthia hastily ordered. Her Pokemon barely did so and escaped from his incoming enemy. Both young trainer and Pokemon checked around from where Garchomp could show up.
"Use the Dragon Claw on the ground!" The trainer from Kanto ordered right away. But just when Charizard rose his punch ready to go, Cynthia was already prepared to fight back.
"Use Iron Head!" The blonde beauty ordered making Ash widen his eyes in shock. Garchomp shot from the soil with his hammer head shining like steel and smashing against Charizard's head like a fright train. The Fire/Flying Pokemon yelled in pain, recoiling back and his Dragon move dissipating.
"And now Fire Fang!" The Champion ordered again with the lingering advantage. The Pseudo Legend bite with his Flame teeth right at Charizard's neck. A second later, the fire erupted around the Pokemon from Kanto, suffering the burning side effect. The trainer from Kanto watched in desperation.
"Charizard, grab Garchomp and make him burn too!" Ash ordered one last tactic. The Dragon-like Pokemon kept the Dragon/Ground Pokemon hugged to his blazing body, making the two suffer from the burning attack. Cynthia looked desperate. This trainer knew how to be resourceful with anything she used "And now Blast Burn!" Charizard opened his maw, the back of his throat charging the most powerful move a Fire starter could learn. And it was right at point blank. Even if Sunny Day had long finished, the Fire move would still be devastating.
"Garchomp, Draco Meteor!" The Champion ordered her attack as well. Even with Garchomp's special attack lowered, she knew to never give up without trying. Her Pokemon obeyed, his own orange blast charging in his mouth.
Red and Orange clashed in a war of bright colors, a shock wave similar to a little nuke bursted over the entire forest. Some trees lost their leafs by the explosion. The bystanders were pushed backwards some even falling on their back by the lashing. Even Pikachu and Chimchar had to hide behind their trainer to not fly away. The humongous eruption kicked a dust storm for a couple of minutes. Both trainers looked in expectations their eyes wanting to see through the fog and find out what had happened to their friends.
Once the fog settled though, it showed the Fire/Flying Pokemon catching his breath and with his body covered in black scorches. He was still standing. But Garchomp was on his clawed hands and knees, shaking. The bruised Pokemon from Sinnoh tried to stood up but failed completely his body finally giving up. He now had swirls in his eyes lying on the scorched floor. Meanwhile, Charizard roared to the sky not caring about his open wounds. He then flinched by his actions, falling to one knee. Everyone looked waiting to see if Charizard would stay strong or join his opponent in the realm of unconsciousness.
The Fire Pokemon didn't fall.
The viewers remained on silence, processing the sudden influx of information. Even Ash and Cynthia had their mouths in the ground in utter stupor after what they had just witnessed.
"Garchomp is unable to battle. Charizard wins. The winner is Ash Ketchum!" The referee said after coming back to his senses. The next second, the audience started clapping for Ash and for Cynthia as well. Never they had witnessed such an amazing fight between two great trainers.
"We did it, buddy!" Ash hugged his tired Fire/Flying Pokemon, who whimpered by the touch. A second later, the Pokemon trainer felt Dawn swallowing him in a bone-crushing hug.
"That...was the craziest...most awesome thing...I've ever seen!" Dawn said each pause kissing her boyfriend like a mad woman. She didn't know why, but seen her boyfriend dominating a mature woman had exited her more that it should. Maybe it was some sort of fetish. And Dawn didn't care one bit about it.
Meanwhile, Cynthia recalled her powerful starter Pokemon.
"You gave a great battle, Garchomp. You deserve to have a long rest" The blonde beauty walked towards Ash determined, who was been snugged senseless by his girlfriend. She smiled by their display and coughed, making the two parties to reluctantly separate from each other. She was beyond impressed "Congratulations, Ash. I never faced such a powerful trainer, who were also young" Ash shook hands with his hot opponent in good terms. This had been one of the best fights he ever had in Sinnoh.
"To be fair Cynthia, your attacks were very powerful too. Even Charizard struggled against them" The experienced teenager stated now "But this isn't the first time I stand against unbeatable odds" The teenager from another region said honestly. Cynthia knew he was been honest. No over-bloated head trainer could pull out what Ash had just done.
After a small mob of people stormed Ash and Cynthia wanting autographs, a picture or both, the Pokemon trainer was left with his girlfriend and the Sinnoh Champion.
"Ash, could you and Dawn come with me?" The Champion from Sinnoh asked towards her two teen friends. The couple looked at each other in surprise by the request. But they couldn't exactly say no to a Champion, could they? Ash recalled Charizard and his new friend Chimchar into their Pokeballs. For Chimchar, the Pokeball didn't struggled accepting the capture right away.
"She's not going to do anything to us right?" Dawn whispered towards her boyfriend as the threesome walked through the forest.
"Why? You have some pervert ideas to suggest?" Ash teased, earning a blush from his girlfriend. The three trainers kept their pace towards a particular part of the forest more distant from the battlefield. There were ruins with two statues. They represented the deities of Time and Space, the Legendary Pokemon Titans Dialga and Palkia.
"This is the temple of Time and Space" Cynthia explained to the two trainers, as she inhaled the fresh air. It brought a lot of memories from her younger years, when she first visited the place. There was a message written beneath the figures of the deities "After I read this message I decided to try to meet every Pokemon that existed in the world. And thanks to you Ash, I now know another Pokemon and two great trainers" The dark-haired Pokemon trainer stepped forward looking at the small representations of the deities of Sinnoh. His chuckled slightly. Though it earned him two weird looks from the ladies.
"These are the Pokemon, Dawn" Ash stated looking at the statues with a half amused expression "The Legendary Pokemon we'll meet next" The coordinator gawked. She knew Ash had met Legendary Pokemon before. But to meet two of the fundamental Pokemon for the universe to exist?
"Ash, how are you so sure?" Cynthia asked. His tone sounded too confident. And for some reason, truthful. Meeting the Legendary Pokemon Dialga and Palkia had been her dream ever since she started her journey as a Pokemon trainer. Why was Ash so certain about it? He didn't sound like if here chasing rainbows.
"I know what I'm saying, Cynthia" The Pokemon trainer simply replied towards his new girl friend "Meeting Dialga and Palkia would only be another day in my life" He looked back at his two female friends "Counting from Kanto to now, I already met Ho-Oh, Moltres, Zapdos, two Lugias, two Articunos, two Enteis, two Suicunes, two Celebis, Groudon, Kyogre, Jirachi, Manaphy, Rayquaza, Mew and the three Reggis twice" Cynthia looked in astonishment with her visible blue eye.
"He's right" Dawn said vouching for her boyfriend "I know that Ash never lies about this kind of things" The Champion of the region looked back and forth between the two youngsters. For some reason she was thinking they were right. But how was not for her to answer. Maybe it was just a hunch.
"Well, if you do encounter them, please let me know" The blonde champion said with a smile towards her new young friends. Her blue eye lied on the teenagers "Meeting the two of them has been my goal ever since I was your age" Cynthia's blue eye gazed at Dawn's also blue eyes.
"Don't worry, Cynthia. You'll be the first to know" Dawn said to the mature woman smiling a bit impishly. The Champion chuckled slightly. Something was telling her that the two teens would become powerful together. More so than herself.
"Hey wait a second!" The blue-eyed coordinator said realizing something she had forgotten after the battle. The two experienced trainers looked at her curious "Ash if you defeated Cynthia, then does that mean you are the new champion of Sinnoh?"
"Not exactly like that, Dawn" Cynthia replied a bit amused. Ash nodded to the Champion's comment.
"To become the Champion of a region you have to first defeat the Elite Four and only then you challenge the current Champion for the tittle" Ash explained. While he never really thought about becoming a Champion of a region in particular, who knew what could happen in the future after he had traveled through the remaining regions.
"Oh, I see" Dawn stated. Even if her boyfriend wasn't the official Champion of Sinnoh, the coordinator would see him as such. It was only fair after defeating one of the strongest female trainers of the whole world.
"Sorry to be rude Cynthia, but Dawn and I have a schedule to keep" The Pokemon trainer said "Dawn is going for the Sinnoh Festival and I'm going for the Sinnoh League"
"It's no problem" Cynthia stated looking with her friendly smile "But if you ever want to visit me, I'll be on Celestic Town"
"The Lustrous Orb" Dawn said now. She knew about the mystical objects often depicted as needed to summon the Entities Dialga and Palkia.
"That's right, Dawn" Cynthia confirmed with a nod. Then the Champion did something the teens weren't expecting at all. She planted one soft kiss on each trainer. The two youngsters couldn't stop their blushes from hitting their faces "I'll see you both later" The Champion left the scene, her rear as nice of a view as her front.
"Ash, please tell you were turned on" Dawn said to her boyfriend, her blush not leaving her face. Maybe because she had liked that kiss.
"I think I've been turned on since the fight started" Ash replied very honestly, looking at Dawn "Why, you too?" The Pokemon trainer chuckled at his girl's spences making her blush even more "And you call me pervert" That earned him a nudge in the arm, much more painful than any other. But it was very much worth it.
Notes from Chapter 8:
Paul lost to Cynthia as Cannon. And he released Chimchar as Cannon so Ash could recapture him. Other than that, everything changed.
I think of making Cynthia join the fun with Ash and Dawn. But later, not now.
Okay Ash defeated Cynthia. Maybe something impossible for some people but I don't think it's impossible. Besides, Charizard has always been Ash's powerhouse in the Anime. Who say Charizard had to be weaker than Cynthia's Garchomp?
The fight in this chapter was one of the best I have ever written. Imagine how much damage the Pokemon would have caused if they had been Mega-Charizard X and Mega-Garchomp. But I'm not going with Megaevolution so it's a a lot of crying for the Mega fans, who read this story.
Okay Garchomp didn't have Giga Impact. But then Charizard should have had his own Giga Impact. And the fight would have ended a lot sooner without the action in between.
Yes, Dawn enjoyed Ash dominating a woman. That's for the future chapters.
I used the Legends from movies and Anime episodes. I didn't count Mew and Mewtwo from the first movie because Ash doesn't remember them. Also Mewtwo chapter in Johto never happened. Mewtwo is still in the wilderness. And neither Deoxys was counted because he hasn't yet been considered a legend.
The two heroes have made new friends now. But how things will develop now? See next chapter!
