Hi, everyone. I'm sorry I'm so late with the story… i had personal reasons as to why I couldn't type this story up, and I'd rather not talk about it. Anyways, the next chapter is here.
1) TravelingMan93 said that I should make someone warn Ash's friends that someone is coming for him. No, I'd rather not, honestly. Because for me, that would be hard to you know… integrate it into the story. I can't have a random person coming in and warn them, then never appear. if i did, then I would have to create something for that person too, and it's just… No.
2) Oni warrior asked through a PM if I am going to do the rape scene with Serena. No, I'm not. Firstly, I have no problem with any scenes concerning lemon/sex, but I find rape to be a very, VERY touchy subject. So, no. Absolutely not.
3) A guest said that I shouldn't do the rape scene at all. I wasn't planning to, but what kind of fucking review did you post? Jesus christ, you just said that you would fucking curse my friend over fanfiction. Are you fucking kidding me? Even if I wasn't planning to write the story, who the hell are you to dictate what I do and what I don't write in the story? HUH!? Just go the fuck away. If you don't want to read my story, then go somewhere else. But I will not stand here and let you say that my friend should be executed. PUBLICLY executed. YOU should be.
Now that I have gotten that over with, it's time for the story. Hope you like it.
Chapter 5: Friendly Battles
"So, did you find out anything on how Daniel is doing?" Ash asked urgently. Serena nodded.
"Yep. They say he's doing very fine. He was actually looking for us, but I think he must've-" Serena was cut off by a very big hug. She looked down to see a smiling Daniel with Solosis trailing behind him.
"Thank you for letting me stay with you guys, Mr. Ash and Ms. Serena!" he announced happily as he went on to hug Ash. The Kanto Champion smiled as he picked up Daniel who was happily grinning to himself.
"No problem, champ." Ash remarked as he let him down. He looked ahead to see a man and a woman who seemed to be his and Serena's age. The man had very blue hair and had a similar physique to Ash. The only thing different was that he had a more vibrant personality to him. The woman on the other hand, was pretty much an exact copy of Serena except for some things. Her hair was a deep shade of red, and she had striking red eyes that seem to complement her fair skin.
"Serena! You never told me that you and Ash had a kid!" The man remarked. Serena giggled.
"We don't. Daniel here is just someone we helped out." Serena explained as the man and the woman approached her.
"Hey, Ash. Name's Zed, and right here is Laura." the man explained as he held out a hand. Ash looked him up and down and gladly took the hand as they started talk with one another.
"Hi Mr. Zed! Hi, Ms. Laura!" Daniel chirped. Zed turned to Daniel and ruffled his hair.
"Hey there, sport. Anyways, me and Laura had a great idea-" Zed was suddenly smacked on the head as he turned around to see a glaring Laura.
"No, we didn't. You did." she smirked. He glared back at her and turned to face Ash with a smile.
"Okay, okay. I had a great idea. Why don't we do a Double Tag battle? 2V2?" Zed proposed. Ash nodded.
"Yeah, sure. It's been awhile since I fought other trainers. Plus, it could be better practice when Scott starts up Elite Four Challenges again after the tournament." Ash remarked. Zed quirked a brow as he looked at Ash with a curious expression.
"You're a Champion?" he asked.
"Yep. Kanto Champion, actually." he explained. Zed nodded.
"Hoenn Champ for me." he explained. Ash widened his eyes. That's where he recognized him from! He was the Hoenn Champion that apparently beat Steven easily with some powerful Ghost-Types. Ash was getting kind of excited. If he was able to practice with a Champion, imagine how much more powerful his already powerful Pokémon could be!
"I'm guessing you're a Champion as well?" Serena guessed, gesturing over to Laura. She nodded.
"Yep. Johto Champ, at your service." Laura mock-bowed as she smiled at Ash and Serena. Suddenly, Ash felt a tug on his shirt. He looked down to see Daniel with an asking face.
"Could I watch the battle? Please?" He asked innocently. Ash smiled at the boy and ruffled his hair and nodded. Daniel grinned as the group of 5 made their way over to the battlefield right outside the PokéCenter. The trainers took their respective sides on the battlefield. Daniel stood in the middle.
"This will be a battle between Ash and Serena against Zed and Laura. Each person may only use 1 Pokémon to battle with. Ready?" Daniel started. Ash's Pikachu sparked his cheeks as he prepared to launch himself on the battlefield. The other three trainers were itching to throw their Pokéballs into the air. "Go!" Daniel shouted. He quickly stepped back and sat on a nearby chair as flashes of white appeared.
"You're up, Pi!" Ash shouted.
"Foxy, I need your assistance!" Serena yelled.
"Help me out, Dusky!" Zed called out.
"Battle time, Kris!" Laura ordered. The respective Pokémon stood their ground as an immense wave of power appeared at their wake. Each one already knew that their opponents would be extremely tough. Pikachu's electricity intensified the pressure in the battlefield, Delphox's immense heat increased the humidity and warmth in the air, Dusknoir's presence brought about chills and unnerving power, and Crobat's light flapping of her wings made powerful winds that could easy rival a hurricane.
"We'll start! Pi, Thunderbolt!"
"Use Flamethrower!" Pikachu quickly sparked his cheeks and let out an extremely bright and fast bolt of lightning, while Delphox shout out a torrent of white-hot flames from her mouth.
"Block with Shadow Ball!"
"Use Steel Wing to block the fire!" Dusknoir barely charged a blob of shadowy energy in his hands as the bolt of lightning struck the energy, sending the Gripper Pokémon back a couple feet. Crobat was able to strengthen her wings in time as the fire just slided off of them.
"Try this for size! Thunder!"
"Full power Mystical Fire!"
"Shadow Sneak into Shadow Punch!"
"Cross Poison, max power!" Pikachu quickly cloaked himself with thunder as he summoned a powerful thunderbolt from the sky as it gave off a blue aura. The bolt of lightning struck Dusknoir, but the powerful Ghost Pokémon quickly shook it off as he smash into Pikachu. Meanwhile, Crobat covered her wings with pure poison as Delphox used her staff to send out balls of fire that were coated in a psychic energy. Crobat quickly smashed into Delphox and knocked her back, but took the full brunt of the Mystical Fire attack.
"Time to really fight. Pikachu, use Electric Destruction!"
"Delphox, heat this up with Fiery Onslaught!"
"If we're getting serious, then Dusknoir! Show em' your Shadow Combo!"
"Crobat, hit them with Extreme Toxic!" The Pokémon smirked at each other before launching their respective attacks. Pikachu floated up in the air as blue electricity surrounded him, reminiscent of Zekrom's Fusion Bolt. Delphox quickly formed a ball of red-hot fire above herself as stray embers swirled around the powerful heat. Dusknoir was covered with shadows that were terrifyingly dark as weird shapes shot out as they went back into the void. Crobat oozed with extremely powerful acid as drops fell to the ground and made a hiss as they corroded the dirt underneath.
"GO!" all the trainers shouted as all of the Pokémon met in the middle of the field. To say the least, the powerful impact sent shockwaves of pure strength and power as flocks of terrified Pokémon ran at the sight. Daniel was so close to the impact and the power was so incredible that his Solosis had to throw up a Protect that barely held off the attack. An explosion erupted from the attacks as smoke covered the battlefield. As the smoke dissipated, each Pokémon was shown to be harmed, with small bruises and cuts. In the middle of the field was an extremely large crater with live sparks, fluttering embers, wispy shadows and drops of acid.
"That was… pretty powerful. We should never do that again. EVER." Ash recommended as Pikachu returned to his spot on Ash's shoulder. The other trainers nodded as they returned their Pokémon.
"Oh, shoot. We have a battle to get to, huh?" Zed said quickly. Ash widened his eyes and checked his watch. It was already 9:55!
"We have 5 minutes! I think we can make it if we run!" Ash shouted as the 4 trainers ran towards the stadium with Daniel closely behind, somehow matching the speed. The powerful trainers were not aware of someone watching them, behind a tree that was not ripped apart from the collisions.
Friends are always there.
I was wrong about my past ones.
Their connections stay with me.
My new friends are special.
This battle proved that.
FIN
Jeez. That was a short chapter. Like, very. Anyways, I will be a bit busy. I have school enrollment to become a 9th grader, and I might have entrance exams and tests and stuff, but I'll blaze through them in order to keep writing this story! I also have decided to continue Zierre's other story with Red being a Pokémon Trainer God. But, I'll recreate it in my image… He wanted me to take full credit for it, anyways. He also says hi to the people that have stuck by his story. Anyways, see you guys soon. Bye!
