Chapter 4 is here guys and I am sorry that I am a day late. The internet wanted to be a bitch. I am also shocked at how much followers and favorites I got. Only 3 chapters and it skyrocketed. I thought my Dragon Ball Z fanfics would have better chances since they have more words. Anyway, after this chapter I'm contemplating on making a Pokémon fic where an indifferent Ash Ketchum goes to Sinnoh alone and brings his other Pokémon with him. He will also get some more Sinnoh Pokémon and get a Gible early. I really think that if Tobias wasn't in the tournament, Ash would have won the damn league. I feel like the writers will never let him win considering that in Unova, he was being a noob again and if he loses in Kalos, I'm just going to be done with the Anime.

Sigh.

That is the only thing that Ash could do at this moment. His display of strength, with the most powerful member of the Elite Four no less, made him a target for hungry and delusional fan girls. He didn't even want to hang out with his loyal friends yet. Turning to his left, he sees the exit but Ash knew that any fan girl would be there to ask for a date. Ash reached into his Pokéball and out came his Charizard. Not wasting a second, he hopped on Charizard and took off. Ash then decided to train/relax in the woods with his Pokémon. Ash is still amazed by their progress. He knows with his Kanto team alone, he's unstoppable and any legendary Pokémon would get handled down in a battle.

"Hey! Is that you Ash Ketchum? I want a battle or I'll fine you!" exclaimed a familiar voice. Ash turned and saw one of his Sinnoh rivals, Barry. Ash walked to Barry and shook hands with him. "Some things never huh Barry? Alright, I'll battle. A 3v3 sound good?" Ash suggested. Barry nodded with fire blazing in his eyes, indicating his determination. They walked to a clearing that resembles a grass battlefield. Conveniently, Brock was taking a walk and spotted Ash beginning to battle with Barry.

"Hey Ash! You can't start a battle without Brock!" he jokingly said. Ash shook his head. Same ol' Brock. Ash nodded and both he and Barry stood on the far ends respectively. Brock walked up to the center and prepared his signature referee skills.

"This is a 3 on 3 battle between Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and Barry from Twinleaf Town. Trainers call out your Pokémon!"

Ash nodded and sent out Pyroar. Said Pokémon roaring his name out. Barry hesitated when he pulled out his Pokéball but was confident that he'll defeat Pyroar. "Hitmonlee let's show Ash what we got!" Hitmonlee flexed his stance as he came out of his ball. Ash analyzed Hitmonlee with his eyes and smirked. It's all over.

"Since Barry challenged Ash, Ash will get the first move. Begin!" Brock stepped off as Ash immediately called his move.

"Pyroar, run in with a flamethrower!" Pyroar grunted and released a heated flamethrower that could resemble half a fire blast. Barry barely commanded his Hitmonlee before the flamethrower blasted through.

"Hitmonlee, jump up and land with a Mega Kick!" he commanded quickly. Hitmonlee jumped up in the air and stretched out his leg. Ash knew Pyroar could take the hit since he has a good amount of HP. Pyroar himself smirked at how weak that kick was. The severe training pulled off last year so the Mega Kick would be as painful as a thorn. The Mega Kick connected but if Barry didn't smile over his first hit, he would have noticed Pyroar smirking deviously. Ash decided to end this.

"Pyroar! Finish this with Retaliate!" Barry paled. He was about to tell Hitmonlee to dodge but it was too late. Pyroar charged in with speed of an Arcanine, headbutting full force into Hitmonlee, said Pokémon skidding across the grass. The mini dust cloud evaporated and Hitmonlee is found with swirls in his eyes.

"Hitmonlee is unable to battle! The first round goes to Pyroar! Trainers send out your next Pokémon!" Barry and Ash recalled their Pokémon.

"Let's do this Roserade!" Barry sent out his Roserade. He used this Pokémon and defeated Ash's then Chimchar with just Poison Jab. It was embarrassing to say the least. Ash threw his Pokéball and out came a big Rock/Dragon type Pokémon. Its body is scaly, his jaws are large and sickening, and he has eyes that will prevent you from moving.

"What's that Pokemon?" asked Barry. Ash smiled proudly. "This is my friend Tyrantrum. He is a Kalos native Pokemon. A Rock/Dragon type Pokémon," Ash said. Barry would have been haughty about having a type advantage, but the size of his opponent is going to make winning impossible. He had to battle quickly to win.

"Roserade, use Magical Leaf!" Roserade chanted its name while summoning glowing green leaves out of its body and threw them towards Tyrantrum. While the boomerang-like leaves neared Tyrantrum. Ash immediately ordered a move.

"Tyrantrum! Use Rock Polish!" Tyrantrum's body glowed momentarily and braced the glowing leaves. He didn't flinch but knew that he could get some serious damage if it were critical. Barry grunted at how strong the Tyrantrum is. He then ordered a familiar move.

"Roserade, Poison Jab!" Roserade took on the offensive. Both hands (if you would call them that) glowed purple and charged at Tyrantrum. Ash and Tyrantrum smirked. They fell for their trap.

Hook Line Magikarp.

"Tyrantrum, start running towards Roserade!" said Pokémon began running, and surprisingly, it was fast. Almost as fast as a low agility. Barry was puzzled at Ash's bold move. Was he still the same trainer making mistakes? Barry's thinking was cut when Ash yelled a move that shocked him like 10 Pikachu.

"Dodge and use Ice Fang!" Tyrantrum's jaws turned ice blue and chomped Roserade by its midsection. Roserade fell down, clearly knocked out. Brock held up his hands.

"Roserade is unable to battle. Tyrantrum wins! Trainers call out your last Pokémon!" Brock announced. Barry returned his Pokemon and looked at Ash. "Well Ash, I'm surprised. A Rock type having an Ice type move. How is that even possible?"

"I got Tyrantrum when he was an egg. His father was a Tyranitar, making it an egg move. That's the power of egg breeding Barry," Ash smirked. Barry shook his head at that. Then something came to his eye. "Say Ash, I think we just attracted some attention from women." Ash paled. He did NOT want to deal with fan girls. But when he did turn his head, he was relieved that they're not fan girls but was shocked that most of them are from the Elite 4 1 was the gym leader Skyla and this girl has long brown hair with a Pokémon hat similar to Ash's back in Unova. Ash knew that he needs to finish this battle quickly before he could deal with him. Brock was about to remind them to finish the battle but he too was mesmerized of the beautiful young women that are watching the battle. However, he quickly fixed himself before a certain poisonous frog comes out.

Barry pulls out his last Pokéball and shouted "Empoleon, let's give it our all!" A big steely looking Penguin popped out and lifted his fins while screaming his name. If it weren't for the crowd of girls, Ash would have used his Garchomp for a revenge match. Instead he threw out a surprise Pokémon.

"Greninja, I choose you!" A black ninja-like frog came out, his tongue wrapped around his face. Because that the Greninja is shiny, everyone but Brock was amazed that they get to see a shiny starter Pokémon in battle. Ash now had to finish this quickly and run out of here with Charizard. Ash looked at Greninja and silently used his Aura to command Greninja. Barry once again commanded first.

"Empoleon, use Hyper Beam!" Empoleon charged up a devastating dark purple beam in his mouth. Ash waited for the right moment. Right when Empoleon blasted the Hyper Beam, Ash used his command. 'Alright Greninja, use Substitute and do a max Scald!' The beam caused a mini dust explosion and everyone closed their eyes. Moments later, the dust cleared and they see a mini green Pokédoll. It dawned on Barry that Greninja had substituted and now Empoleon is a sitting Psyduck. He looked up and saw Greninja in the air breathing out a light blue beam that has steam at the edge and it damaged Empoleon to the point where he fainted. Barry ran to check if Empoleon is okay. He had some burn spots but he'll just need a rest at the Pokémon Center. Brock then snapped out of his shock and finished the match.

"Empoleon is unable to battle! Greninja wins, and the victor goes to Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town! The crowd of women cheered and walked up to where Ash was. Meanwhile, Ash and Barry are shaking hands of good sportsmanship. "That was a great battle Ash. You've really improved from the last time I've seen you. I'm lucky that you didn't pull out Charizard or Empoleon would have needed more medical attention," Barry jested. Ash nodded. "You've improved too. I thought you'd use different Pokémon but I guess that's your secret huh?" Barry nodded. "Yeah, I have other Pokemon and if we face each other again, I'll use them! I know you'll make it to the finals Ash so I don't have to fine you!" Ash chuckled. "I'll be sure to make it. Good luck at your match tomorrow Barry," Ash said. "You too Ash, I need to go call my dad. I'll talk to you later." With that, Barry walked off. Ash turned to Brock. "Well Brock, I'm going to take a nap so I'll see you tomorr-"

"Hold up there. You think you're going to go without seeing us Ash?" called out a familiar voice. Brock stiffened too because he is familiar to that one. Both turned around to see the crowd that practically blocked Ash from leaving. One of them stepped forward. She seems to be Ash's age and has long blonde hair that reached her legs. She is the 4th Elite member of Unova, Caitlin. Ash has seen her battle with Cynthia earlier in Unova but never met her in person.

"You're Ash Ketchum huh? Cynthia has told me about you while I was working in the Battle Frontier and I heard that you beat the Battle Frontier back in Kanto. She was right, you are a strong trainer! I was going to battle you but seeing you battle Palmer's son, I assumed you are tired to battle. You better battle me tomorrow. I need a real challenge," she said smirking at Ash. Said trainer paled to the point where his whole body turned white in a comedic way. The other girls nodded, indicating that Ash had to battle them too or date them all as well. Ash sighed and looked at them. Before they left, Caitlin came back and kissed Ash on the lips. "I've always wanted to kiss a handsome man like you. Let's see if you can handle me," she said and winked at him, running off. Ash was shocked at first but then shrugged. He knew he has a lot of girls falling for him and Kalos was a good experience to get to know some good looking girls. One in particular was Serena, a childhood friend. Ash called out his Charizard again and flew off to the building for his hotel.

Unfortunately, fate decided to play with him. When Ash was right next to his door, he saw a familiar group. A group he tried to avoid for 5 years. His fists began clenching when they all guilty faces. An 18 year old girl with blue hair and a white Pokémon beanie hat spoke.

"Ash, we-"

"No. I don't to hear anything from you. Stay away from me!" spoke the raven-haired boy with venom seeping through his teeth. Said girl found the ground interesting.

The rest also hung their heads down in shame. One of them started sniffling. A certain Hoenn Coordinator. A week after the incident, May was looking for Drew and caught him making out with one of his fans. She stormed up to Drew, lashing out at him physically and verbally in front of the fan girl. Said fan girl walked off, clearly pissed too. At that moment, May realized that Ash wasn't in the wrong. She betrayed him, all of them did. May's guilt was stressing her out so much, she had to stop performing Pokémon contests altogether. All May had done for the past 5 years was helping her mother out and training with her dad. She also informed her friends what happened. Needless to say, they've been consumed by guilt as well.

Ash didn't want to stand around them any longer. He walked past them and pulled out his key. Before he could open his door, two arms snaked around him from behind. Ash could tell it was May because he knows her aura signature. He could feel her tears dampening into his clothes/cloak, furthering his incense. He grabbed her arms and harshly pushed her away from him. Turning around, Ash glared at everybody. His chocolate orbs hoping to burn them all.

"Didn't I just said to stay away from me? I can instantly call guards in for harassment if you don't get your asses out of here," he threatened. May quickly stepped herself back from Ash and ran off crying. The rest of the group didn't want to test Ash so they ran off to find May. Ash opened his door and didn't have time to gawk at how fancy his room was. He just walked into his room and slept.

I didn't expect to get 2k words in this chapter. Same moveset as Chapter 2 on the Pokemon Ash used. If it were a 4 on 4 battle, Ash would have used his Talonflame. I also forgot to mention Garchomp and that he surpassed Sceptile but halfway to Charizard. Charizard is the one that trained him since they both share strong traits. The pairing is most likely AshXSerena though since Serena is nothing like the other girls.
