Pokémon: The Parallel Challenger
Chapter 16: The Final Volt 3.0 – Ending Reflection
Both Dawn and Max ran to the entrance to Silver Town. As soon as they reached the place, a shock coming from the mountain could be seen. They startled as they realized that both trainers in combat were reaching the town at the base. They both nodded at each other and just stayed in the entrance, blocking it. A couple of minutes later, trainers who were late to see the event held at the stadium reached the entrance.
"I'm sorry, but we can't let you pass." Max stood firmly in front of the incoming trainers.
"Huh? What are you talking about? Did you get lost, kid?" A female trainer asked with a mocking voice.
"It's not like that." It was Dawn's turn to speak. "For your own safety, we can't let you into Silver Town until things have calmed down."
"Until things have calmed down? What's going on?"
"A powerful battle is being held in this place. The Silver Conference is off-limits to all trainers." Max talked like an officer.
"You're talking nonsense. We're getting in." The trainers nodded at each other and started walking inside, ignoring them.
"Hold there! Mamoswine, stop them!"
The blunette coordinator grabbed her Pokéball fast and brought the mighty mammoth-like Pokémon into the scene, getting in the way of the trainers.
"Don't worry, he won't do anything." Dawn approached the trainers. "Prof. Oak himself told us to stop trainers from coming into Silver Town."
"Prof. Oak? The famous researcher?!"
"If Prof. Oak asked them to do so..."
"No way! That's got to be some lie to keep us waiting here!"
The trainers discussed between each other about their current situation. Dawn and Max were just glad that they didn't need to use a Pokémon battle to hold them back. Now, they needed to do something more important for the sake of the battle.
With Prof. Oak and Tracey...
"We finally made it." The researcher stopped at the entrance of the stadium and started panting. "Boy, I'm too old to run like that."
"Professor, now's not the time! Let's head out to the VIP room!" Tracey said as he ran to the stairs, only to be blocked by an Officer Jenny.
"Where do you think you're going, boy? The stairs head to the Executive's room. I can't let you go in there without a special pass." Officer Jenny was with her loyal Growlithe near her, who growled at the watcher.
"Officer Jenny, it's an emergency. Both I and Professor Oak need to talk to Mr. Goodshow."
"Emergency? Of what kind?"
Prof. Oak reached both of them, still tired from his previous actions. However, he stood firm and greeted the officer. "It's a situation that we need to discuss with Mr. Goodshow as well, so we really need to get there. Please."
"Hmm...well, I have no problem if the professor's asking. It seems this problem is big. Very well, let me show you the way."
(In the Executive's room)...
"Trainers battling at Mt. Silver?" Mr. Goodshow rubbed his long-gray beard as he heard the information from .
"That's right. The battle was originally held at my laboratory at Pallet Town, but the two trainers decided to take their final match at the mountain. However, the problem is that their battle is so intense that they are even breaking some sections of the mountain. Nothing to be scared of, but is they continue as they are doing, they're going to reach Silver Town in a few minutes and probably their first spot to reach would probably be this very stadium."
"Samuel, that seems a little exaggerated statement." Mr. Goodshow remarked. "Pokémon battling between trainers can't be strong enough to cause the damage you're saying. Legendary Pokémon could do that, but the probabilities are just none."
"Mr. Goodshow. I know you can't believe us, but I would like you to take a look at the mountain. Just for a second." The Pokémon watcher said as he showed the landscape of the mountain from the room's window.
Just as they saw it, a shiny lighting could be seen, generating smoke from that side of the mountain. Seconds later, another one appeared, this time bigger and closer to the stadium. Mr. Goodshow could actually see the lightnings coming closer and closer to the main event held.
"So what do you suggest? Maybe evacuate the stadium?" The president of the Pokémon League asked. "Although this is troublesome, I guess there is no choice aside from that."
He called one of his personal assistants and informed him of the situation. Mr. Goodshow got up calmly and directed himself in front of a big camera that was located in the same room. A minute later, his face appeared in the monitor located in the stadium.
"Hmm...hmm…" The old man tried the sound effect of the microphone. "Dear participants and members of the audience. I have been reported that there's an incident happening on Mt. Silver that can actually put in risk the current Silver Conference. Therefore, I've been forced to cancel all activity here the stadium. For safety measures, I would like you to leave the stadium as soon as possible.
Even though it was a sudden and also weird announcement, the people in the seats and the trainers started leaving the place. No one truly understood what was going on, but since the main event was cancelled for the day, they just decided to follow and exit the stadium.
"Thanks a lot, Mr. Goodshow!" Tracey said as he shaked hands with the president.
"Ehh...no problem, boy." Mr. Goodshow sweatdropped and then faced the famous researcher. "So, I would like you to tell me who are the two people who are battling."
"...Excuse me?" Prof. Oak sounded confused.
"I mean, Samuel, you must know who they are, don't you? If they reach here, I would like to see their battle." Mr. Goodshow rubbed his beard once again. "Even though they can be kind of dangerous, it would be an amazing sight to see them fight."
"So...who are they, Samuel?"
"...Actually, you know one of them." Prof. Oak smiled. "Do you remember Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town?"
With May and Gary...
"Blaziken, use Flamethrower!"
"Blastoise, attack with Hydro Cannon from the side!"
Both trainers ordered their Pokémon to attack the wild Tyranitar, which had gone into a rampage for a while ago. Both attacks hit directly at the Pokémon's body. The trainers looked at the fog, trying to see the state of the massive Pokémon. Unfortunately, even though it was covered in scratches and wounds, Tyranitar didn't hold back and stood firmly, ready to unleash another powerful beam.
"What do we do? This thing's unstoppable!" Gary put himself behind Blastoise, and covered the Hyper Beam that was directed at him by his Pokémon's Protect. "This is completely unnatural. Tyranitar is known for being strong, but this one is actually FORCING itself to keep up with us!"
"Gary, you have any plans?" May covered her eyes as her Blaziken blocked an incoming attack from the dinosaur-like Pokémon. "We can't keep up like this forever!"
"In a minute!" The researcher in training gritted his teeth. "Our strength combined is not enough to take him down...if only there were more of us..."
"RAAAAAAAAAWR!" Hyper Beam formed in the Pokémon's mouth.
"May, look out!"
"Gyarados, use Hydro Pump!"
Out of a sudden, a block nearby exploded, creating a big hole on the wall that was located. From out of it, a big blue serpent-like Pokémon emerged and attacked bluntly at Tyranitar, managing to make him lose control of his attack and deviate it to another place.
"Steelix, use Wrap!"
From beneath the floor, a Pokémon appeared and engulfed the Tyrant Pokémon with his big body, sealing all movements it had.
"Those Pokémon...could it be...?"
"Guys, are you alright?!" Misty emerged from the cave from where Gyarados emerged from.
"I guess we made it right on time." Brock joined them as well.
"Misty, Brock!" The brunette was happier than ever that she had been found by her friends.
"I guess Tyranitar made his way to this side of the mountain."
"What do you mean? Did you fight him before?"
"We actually got stuck inside the mountain because of him." Brock explained as he reached them along with Misty. "Now that we're together, we need to stop this fella once and for all."
The Tyranitar was trying to force his way out of the trap he had been set up. However, as strong as he was, the former gym leader's Steelix continue to press harder, even though it was getting difficult for him to actually not injure the Pokémon he was holding back. The four trainers located themselves on four different spots along with their Pokémon pointing at Tyranitar.
"Steelix, now release him!"
The Pokémon obeyed and returned to his trainer's side, making Tyranitar fall into the ground to gain some strength to recover himself. While he had not being damaged, all his energy had been used to free himself from the Pokémon, with no avail. He slowly got up, resisting once again to fall into the others.
"It's all or nothing! Steelix, use Hyper Beam!"
"Gyarados, Hydro Pump!"
"Blaziken, Flamethrower!"
"Blastoise, Hydro Cannon!"
The four attacks collided and formed a big cross that was united by the spot where Tyranitar was. The Pokémon looked in fear as he received the whole shot directly. The trainers' Pokémon fell in fatigue as they had given all in that last attack. Luckily for them, the Tyranitar revealed to be on the floor, not getting up anytime soon.
"We did it!" Misty high fived hands with May as they congratulated their Pokémon.
"It's finally over..." Brock sighed in relief. "I don't think Steelix could have handled another minute."
"Same for my Blastoise. I'm not a trainer anymore, you know. Blastoise needs some practice." Gary joked and then approached to the now fainted Pokémon. The wounds he had were greater than he thought. "Despite this, how was he able to...?"
His thoughts were interrupted when he noticed a shiny object in the back of the Pokémon. It was little and it was like shattered, but it was still to the sight of everyone. Guess with all the trouble they had, he didn't notice it.
"What is this?" He picked up the tiny, destroyed object. The piece he picked up looked like some kind of lens. It apparently had the original appearance of a camera. "Tyranitar had planted this on his body?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Hmm...it's nothing." Gary picked up the debris quickly and put it on his pocket. "Anyway, now what are we going to do with him? He looks really bad."
"I guess we could treat him." The brunette coordinator replied. "Brock, can't you do something for him?"
"If he wasn't this wounded, I could, but time is not precisely on our side. We still need to catch up with Ash and Red." The doctor of the group said as he analyzed the body of the Pokémon.
"Then there's only one way. We must take him to the Pokémon Center." Gary said as he reached for a thing in his bag.
"But how?"
"Easy." The researcher brought a black with yellow Pokéball out of his bag. The others didn't recognize the design. "I'll capture him."
He threw the ball at the Pokémon and engulfed him in a red energy that was taken inside the capturing device. It rotated three times to finally release shining starts from the center of it, meaning the capture was a success.
"This is an Ultra Ball. It's the second most sophisticated Pokéball ever created, the first being the Master Ball. It has a high capture-ratio. I was given this just in case that during my research I found a rare Pokémon to gather data-"
"Brrrrr…brrrrrrr..."
"What is that sound?"
"...Huh?" Gary felt something vibrating on his pants' pocket. He immediately reached it, revealing his X-transceiver ringing. "It's a call...from Gramps!"
"Prof. Oak?! Is he alright?" Everyone got near Gary to hear about the professor's whereabouts.
"Gary! Is that you? I'm glad you're safe." The Professor sighed in relief from the other side.
"Gramps, is good to hear you're alright, too. I'm with May, Misty and Brock. Where are you?"
"I'm in Silver Town with Tracey. We're in the stadium at the center of the town."
"What are you doing there?"
"We arrived here to evacuate the stadium. Fortunately, the security measures have already been taken. We've saw those two's fight from here and is not looking good."
"Can't deny that." Gary sweatdropped.
May got really close to the device, almost taking it away from Gary. "Professor, have you seen Max? I'm worried that he may have got alone."
"And what about Dawn? Have you seen her?" Misty was the one asking this time.
"They are not with me right now, but I received a call from Max a while ago. They are at the entrance of the town." The group sighed in relief after hearing the good news. "So that means we already know where everyone is, right?"
"Yeah. Thanks, Gramps. Then we'll be heading there right now. Call you later."
"Well, now that we've solved that, we must focus on our real task: meeting Ash and Red." Gary brought a second Pokéball from his bag and threw it to the sky. An Alakazam appeared from it, greeting its trainer. "Alakazam, we need your help."
"What is he going to do?" Misty asked kind of worried.
"My Alakazam is not as strong as Red's Espeon, but he is still one of the most powerful Psychic-types in the world. We can make him carry us with his Psychic move all way down the mountain."
He saw the glares of his companions after hearing this. He sweatdropped and continued. "N-Now that we know where everyone is, we can climb down the mountain in a more efficient way. We don't have to worry to have actually left someone alone in the mountain."
"Hmm...that makes sense. Then what are we waiting for? We need to hurry!" Dawn exclaimed.
"Ok, I can't assure you a safe ride but it will be faster!"
Alakazam activated his powers and used it on everyone at that point. They started floating seconds after the Pokémon used his move and they started going down the mountain, to meet with the fired-up trainers.
With Ash and Red...
"Pikachu, Thunder!"
Ash's Pikachu jumped between some rocks to gain some speed and met his opponent really near. Red's Pikachu turned around to see the other Electric mouse smiling at him and he was shocked by the powerful attack, making him collide with some rocks before falling into the snow. Ash's Pikachu returned to the side of his field, getting ready for the next move.
Red looked at his Pokémon, who slowly got up from 'biting the snow' and turned back to see the other Pikachu. The Pokémon released tons of sparks from its cheeks, not because it was angry, but because it was having so much fun in battling such a strong opponent.
"And I thought my battle with Paul was intense...I can't even get distracted for a second! Even Tobias could be defeated with ease by him!"
"Although this battle is interesting...he's actually pushing me with his own power. Although my battle with Blue was more intense, this has a different kind of intensity...one that gets me excited..."
The trainers looked at each other and instantly knew what was going on. They didn't even speak, but they could tell that they were having a good time in this battle. Unlike the previous ones, were Ash had lost control or Red looking him down, they were now on the same stone.
Peaceful, but breaking the silence.
"Pikachu, Iron Tail now!"
"Dodge it."
(A/N: By the way, I'll use sometimes just "Ash's" and "Red's" without putting Pikachu after them. Because it would be too repetitive.)
As fast as the blink of an eye, both electic mouses charged at each other, continuing the match. Ash's partner powered-up his tail, heading at full speed through the cold grass. Using different runinning patterns, he tried to blind his opponent in not being able to detect the attack's hitting point. Left, right. Center. Red's Pikachu focused on the Pokémon's movement even with him going at full speed. Ash's Pikachu made a full turn to the right and almost instantly, got boost from a rock nearby and was now just a meters afar. Red's jumped backwards, charging his tail like his opponent.
A clash of Iron Tails. They resisted for a couple of seconds, but the direction of their attacks was released to their respective points. Red's Pikachu was hit on his cheek, flying and colliding with a couple of frozen trees nearby. On the other side, Ash's Pikachu was hit on the stomach area, flying and crash hard into a rock wall, cracking it and falling to the ground. Although he had gained more strength, it was Ash's partner who received most of the damage. The little Pokémon stood up slowly, gathering his strength to continue battling. Out of a sudden, due to the crashing spot, the wall started cracking. From the above, rocks from different locations fell. The Pokémon had little time to react, so he jumped with all his might, but it was pushing himself really hard.
"Pikachu!"
"...!"
A loud sound was heard. Red's Pokémon got up and headed to see what was going on. Red ran to see what happened, and looked up to see his counterpart, with a big rock in his back, barely lifting it up. At his feet, a buried Pikachu could be seen. He just pushed away the rock in his back, falling backwards, while feeling the horrible pressure of his arms that had just lifted a lot of weight.
"Hey, are you alright?" Red approached concerned, but was met by the silent reply of his counterpart, who as soon as he was able to move, he rushed to the rocks and help his Pikachu out of there. "..."
"Pikachu, hang in there!" Ash muttered to himself as he continued to save his Pokémon.
Red looked at his Pokémon, who looked at him back with a worried look. That was the first time in many years that his Pikachu worried about his opponent. Normally, during a battle, Pikachu would wipe out his opponents and leave them with heavy damages and injuries: the Pokémon was indifferent to that lot, as his trainer used to be and express. Red then turned to see his opponent once again and it crossed to him, like a thunder's speed, it crossed his mind: the memories of him being in the same situation. He had once been pushed far in his abilities by Blue, and rescued his Pikachu from the debris of their battle. Now, years later, it was like seeing into the past and it was made even more real since the one he was looking was practically himself, the one he used to be.
"This is it...!"
With a really amazing inner strength, Ash pulled the last rock aside and his face watched in pure worry when he saw his Pikachu in a bad state.
"Pikachu, hang in there! Pikachu!" Ash pushed his Pokémon's body a little to make him react.
"...Pika" It responded. The Pokémon was still awake, but in a bad condition.
"Pikachu...I'm sorry..." Ash hugged his Pokémon as far as he could. "I let you harm yourself like this...forgive me, Pikachu..."
"..." While the Champion didn't feel responsible for the attack, he couldn't help but see that he might have overdone things a little bit, considering the status of his Pokémon.
Out of a sudden, both of them felt something unusual in the air. An abrupt breeze passed through them, as the flow of it was getting a little more intense, especially around Ash. The trainer just kept hugging his Pokémon as his hands slowly started to glow. A tiny, but warm blue energy appeared via his hands, and barely surrounded the Electric-type in his arms. The Pokémon started opening more and more its eyes as his wounds slowly disappeared.
"Huh?"
"..."
Ash started breathing faster, making the blue energy disappear. Red looked at his own hand, and could have sworn that a reddish dust was there. Everything had returned to normal, and now both trainers were just looking at the center of the commotion. Pikachu looked at his trainer and smiled at him. His wounds were still noticeable, but he was able to stand once again.
"Pikachu!"
"...What was that?" The Champion didn't waste time. What just happened called his attention.
"I don't know..." Ash put a thinking pose. "Hmmm...although I felt something familiat about it..." Then it hit to him. "Could it be...aura?"
"Aura?"
"It's the energy we all have inside, but only a few are able to manifest it. That's the only thing I know about it." The trainer replied. "It was during one of my journeys. I managed to use aura a little period of time, but that was because of some special gloves."
"Aura, huh?" Red watched his palm. He definitely felt something. However, he decided to leave it aside. "So, your Pikachu is up to continue?"
"I have no problem, but Pikachu is the one who decides that. Right, buddy?" He looked at his Pokémon, who replied with a smile.
"That's the spirit of a true relationship between Pokémon and trainer." Red smiled as he jumped to the other side of the place. "It seems we've got reached some limit. I'll end this instantly."
"You've caught us off guard now, but we will now show you our true power!"
"Pikachu, use Quick Attack!"
"Between the rocks. Thunder then."
Red's Pokémon nodded and with great movements pulled back and saw a rocky area nearby. By using its tail, he got an instant drop into the zone, constantly moving between them. Ash's Pikachu approached the zone at fast speed, looking for movement and ready to strike. The ground then shook as a bright light eradicated the hideout of the opponent, a direct attack coming right at him. Ash's smiled as he went even faster, taking a zigzag pattern, evading the different bolts coming from almost every direction. Pikachu took some damage, but managed to pull himself together and reach Red's Pokémon's location. He received a big hit in the gut, but Ash's Pikachu was hurt in the process because of the big amount of electricity flowing in the area.
"Iron Tail!"
"Same."
Both then recovered and started clashing and clashing their tails into what seemed a sword fight. The sounds of each clashing resounded in the big space they were both fighting. Red's Pikachu overpowered in one strike, making Ash's to retreat, but not before giving a last clash, making Red's losing its balance and hit the ground, just like him.
Both now were near the start of the mountain, with the Silver Conference stadium just a few minutes from where they were at the moment. Now it was all or nothing for them.
"Other me, I believe it's time we get down the mountain." The Champion claimed as he fixed his cap while seeing the stadium. "Are you ready?"
Ash didn't know what Red exactly meant, but deep inside he knew that the path he was now following would know help him understand him. He looked at his partner and imitated Red's position. "Of course."
"Pikachu..."
"..."
"Volt Tackle!"
In a blink, both Pikachu started running down, heading for the stadium while colliding cheeks with each other. A massive amount of electricity was released from their run. Ash's Pikachu remembered doing this before with a Raichu he met at a Pokémon park. But this time, the competition was even more intense, and there was more in the line than just pride. Both Pikachu run down the mountain, eventually reaching the famous town at its base. The energy they both released as almost equal. The sparks that merged together to form a yellow blur made some of the devices in the town blown and the windows they crossed just exploded because of the pressure held at them when they both passed by at great speed.
"They just left us behind, huh?" Ash sweatdropped.
"But we will arrive first, though." Red said as he called Espeon once more. "Could you take us to the stadium right there, Espeon?"
"Peon!" The Pokémon didn't even doubt about it. Even with its injuries, it didn't negate the order and activated his psychic power once more. It engulfed both trainers and in an instant, they disappeared.
With Gary and the others...
"Ka...kazam!"
"What's wrong?" Gary asked his Pokémon as he looked at the direction it was looking. "A Psychic power, huh? And a very big one, to attract your attention like that..."
"Gary, what happened?" The former breeder asked his partner.
"It seems they already reached the stadium. We'll get there too in a minute." He replied as his Pokémon continued carrying the four trainers down the mountain, almost reaching its base.
With Prof. Oak...
The ground started shaking a little while the Professor, along with Tracey and Mr. Goodshow were waiting for the trainers to arrive.
"What's that sound?" The sketcher asked while moving kind of nervous.
"It sounds like static..." Prof. Oak remarked. "Could they be already here?"
"Hmmm?" Mr. Goodshow, even though he was old, he noticed that something had suddenly appeared in the middle of the now empty stadium. "What's that?"
"Huh?" Tracey approached the window of the room and looked down at the arena. Two figures were in the middle, along with a Pokémon. One was a trainer in blue and the other was a trainer in red, and both wore caps. "It's...Ash and Red!"
In the middle of the arena...
"Here we are." Red said as he removed some dust from his shirt and fixed his cap once again.
"Wow...the Silver Conference stadium...this sure brings back memories." Ash said as he looked at the sky.
He was now standing in a place he was very familiar with. He had just being once in there, but it was enough to make him remember it forever. It was his second chance to take the League, and had prepared everything he got to take the cup. He took out numerous partners during the tournament, when he finally got the chance to face Gary and settle their rivalry once and for all. The battle was amazing, and it was certainly difficult who would win. However, he managed to pull himself together and got the victory against him. He was closer to get to his goal. And then the battle with Harrison happened. They both fought bravely, but it was Harrison who took the victory in that battle with his Blaziken. That was when he learned about Hoenn and decided to travel once more to take a new chance.
Right now, he realized that his battle, his lost, was not in vain. He learned so much from his battle with all his rivals, with each lost, he grew stronger. He still had a lot to become the very best, but he wasn't focused on that right now. The situation right now was similar to those times he took the region's League. He was against a strong opponent, a really strong one. He wasn't completely sure he would win, but at the same time he was. He was a little different from when he took the Unova League. Now, he would just give his all. Win or lose, it would be Resolve and effort alone.
A couple of seconds later, a strong sound took Ash out of his thoughts as he looked at one of the entrance of the stadium. A big spark approached both trainers, coming faster and faster, closer and closer with each blink. The Pikachu arrived at the middle, with both trainers setting their sight at the corners of the battle field. An explosion made both Pokémon go to their sides of the field, covered in sparks and wounds each, breathing heavily, but with their soul right on the goal: win.
"Other me, Pikachu has now reached its limit. I once made a promise to myself to not force my Pokémon unless it was necessary, so I will end this battle with a last, full-force attack."
"It's fine by me. Pikachu is also barely standing. I don't know how he is standing, you know?" Ash said as he looked at his partner. "I guess he wants to win as much as I do."
"I must admit...it was fun. That was the first time in years I enjoyed a battle. I thank you for that." Red said as he grabbed his cap.
"You showed me that there's still I got to learn, but right now, I will stick stubborn and give everything I got with this last attack!" Ash said as he turned his own cap backwards, like when he decided to catch a Pokémon.
"...That pose...!"
"Red! This is my reply!" He yelled as he pointed at him. "Pikachu, use Thunder into yourself!"
The Pokémon retained the energy within him and released a bit of sparks that hurted him a bit, but now he was full of pure lightning energy.
"Charge an Electro Ball!"
Pikachu then charged a big ball of electricity in its tail, that grey bigger and bigger to an extent that it was even bigger than Ash himself. Twice as him, if some would notice.
"Pikachu, one last call! Charge!" Ash showed his determination.
"Piiiiiiiiiiiii…kaaaaaaaaa…"
The energy of the Pikachu was now even bigger, like a bomb. He was full covered in electricity, like a being of pure light that resembled a real thunder.
"...Pikachu. Charge."
The Champion didn't stay behind and his Pokémon also imitated the lightning form of his rival. Now, two big lights were illuminating the stadium with a bright energy that, if you looked closely, changed from blue to red within seconds.
"Red, this is it! This is the will of my friends and mine together! Within Pikachu, the Pokémon that I always travelled with, that they made friends him. My FIRST Pokémon!"
"..." The Champion smiled. "You are really...amazing." The intensity of his eyes changed.
One.
Two.
Three.
"VOOOOOOLT TACKLEEEEEEEEE!"
Both trainers, at the same time, yelled and pointed at the target, their faces looking exactly the same, indicating their Pokémon to attack. A big light was released by both Pikachu as they both clashed in the center, with their both energies being seen even from the afar. They collided, forming a big energy pillar that was directed at the sky. The light grew and grew, engulfing the battlefield, then the stadium and then the whole town. The great pillar of red and blue light was seen from towns nearby.
That was the day when, at least for a while, the Kanto and Johto region went blank.
The next chapter...
Pokémon: The Parallel Challenger
Last Chapter: You are...
Well, that was the chapter, my friends! Hope you enjoyed it. I tried to keep the action good but not as everything in the chapter. Also, I need to say this. The aura Ash used may look like a Deux Ex Machina situation, but it was absolutely reasonable and I will explain why in the future. With my other fics, of course. Ash using aura is part of the plot I have in mind. This is just the start of what will be the major problem. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter and don't forget to review, even if it sucked, I would like to know. See you later!
