A/N Sorry I have not updated for a few days, I have had stuff on and have not been feeling great.

But yeah here is chapter 5

Chapter 5

Shauna ran over to the two of them, "Hey Ash my brother wants to meet you."

She led Ash to her house and opened the door. Ash walked in.

"No way."

The man with a maroon suite and purple hair turned to face Ash, "Hi Ash, congratulations on your Ventress conference win."

"Thanks Lucian. So why are you in Kalos."

"Well apart from this being where my sister and mother live," he said smiling, "I am here to take part in the meganite tournament taking place in Aquacorde Town."

Ash chocked on his own spit, "Did you say there was a meganite tournament here?"

"Yeah, Kalos is well known for having many more mega stones than every other region."

Ash nodded filling away the information for future reference. "But if they are so common in Kalos why go to this one?"

Lucian frowned, "That would be because Cynthia has acquired two mega stones, one for her Garchomp and one for her Lucario." Ash's eyes widened, "Ever since then none of the elite four have been able to keep up with her, and she has walked all over us, I think most of the elite four will be here, and I think that both Lance and Steven want to get their hands on meganite stones."

"Ah, well I will be there, no doubt about it. I have some Pokémon who are itching to fight, it has been a long while since my absolute best have been able to let loose." Pikachu nodded his head from my shoulder.

Lucian smiled, "I figured as much."

Grace Serena's mum walked in the door and said, "Ash, Trevor and Tierno are going to be showing their parents their Pokémon with a battle against Shauna and Serena.

Ash looked around only just noticing that Shauna had left him and Lucian at talk.

"Yeah tell them I'll head on out to see in a minute." Grace walked back out and Ash turned back to Lucian, "You coming?"

The two of them walked out to see the four trainers already lined up with their Fennekin, Chespin, Bulbasaur and Squirtle respectively.

"Fennekin use ember on Bulbasaur."

"Squirtle use water gun to intercept."

"Chespin use tackle on Squirtle."

"Bulbasaur stop Chespin with Vine whip."

Fennekin's ember was stopped dead by the water gun, which then shot towards the fox Pokémon, while Chespin was picked up and thrown to one side by Bulbasaur.

"Fennekin dodge." The fox Pokémon managed to get out of the way of most of the attack but was knocked over by the edge of the attack, "Now use tackle on Bulbasaur."

"Bulbasaur, throw Chespin into Fennekin."

The slightly larger grass Pokémon hit Fennekin hard. "Squirtle finish this with water gun."

The burst of water shot towards the two starters and hit them both hard. When the smoke cleared both were knocked out.

"Good job Squirtle" said Tierno.

"Yeah you too Bulbasaur." Trevor added.

"Thanks for trying Fennekin."

"Yeah, great try Chespin."

"You two did great" Trevor yelled across the battle field.

"Yeah, you two are just better together than the two of us."

"That was great all of you." Lucian called out. He then turned to Ash, "I think that we should show them a battle, it will also be a good warm up before the meganite tournament."

Ash shrugged, "Alright, if you want." And with that the two of them replaced the two pairs on the battle field.

"Elders first," Ash said mockingly.

Lucian just smiled, "Come on out Mr Mime."

Ash smiled, "Go Donphan."

Donphan raised its trunk in greeting and Ash scratched it under the ears.

When Donphan was satisfied with the attention he turned to the psychic Pokémon.

"Mr Mime use psychic."

"Donphan use rollout."

As the blue light surrounded the elephant Pokémon it slowed a fraction only for it to break through.

"Mr Mime use Reflect."

The rollout crashed into the screen and bounced off making a crack.

At the side lines, Trevor shook his head, "Another powerful Pokémon, no wonder he won the league."

Without missing a beat Ash shouted, "Now use hidden power."

"Light screen Mr Mime."

"Now use energy ball."

"Defence curl and then rollout."

Donphan took the green ball with a small grunt and then set of at a much faster pace.

"Mr Mime protect."

Donphan crashed into the green screen with even more force.

"Mr Mime use energy ball again."

"Stop it with hyper beam."

The beam of energy crashed through the green ball and destroyed the still standing light screen only causing a small amount of damage however.

Lucian's eyebrows rose, "that is some impressive power you have there, it is not often that one of Mr Mime's screens outright breaks."

Ash shrugged, "Donphan use rollout."

Lucian sighed 'this again.' "Use protect."

"Donphan roll up the protect," Everyone even Donphan was surprised when he started to roll vertically up. His speed and momentum kept him going.

When he finally started to descend Ash yelled "Now Take down."

When Lucian snapped out of his stupor he yelled, "Get out of there."

"Now earthquake."

When Donphan hit the ground there was a huge shockwave. The momentum charged takedown had caused an earthquake so huge that everyone was knocked off their feet and Mr Mime who was frantically trying to get out of the way was unceremoniously flung across the battle field, not to get up.

Lucian smiled dryly as if having an inside joke. "Well done Ash, I shouldn't be surprised about it though."

"Thanks Lucian this makes me even more pumped for the Meganite tournament"

"The what?" Serena asked.

Trevor shook his head, "Come on Serena the Meganite tournaments. The ones that give out mega stones, there is one in Aquacorde town every two years."

"Oh yeah, they are for the best trainers from around the world," she turned to Lucian and Ash who were slowly making their way over to the small crowd of trainers and parents. "You two would both qualify for it."

"Mhhmm, well we are both going to compete against some pretty tough competition so it will be great training especially for my stronger Pokémon who rarely get battles now." Ash smiled. He could think of a few of his Pokémon who had not had a worthy opponent for a while.

"Thanks again for the battle Lucian, I am going to go and heal up Donphan, and I have a few Pokémon who will want to join the team for the tournament.

Line break

It was less than a week later that Ash found himself standing in the middle of the Aquacorde stadium with the 'Dragon master' to his right and 'The man of Steel' to his left. Ash was one of the few trainers to know both the Johto and Hoenn Champions personally.

He looked around as the announcer introduced the tournament and the rewards. He saw a number of high profile trainers and a couple of elite four. He locked eyes with a trainer he had not seen for a long time. He exchanged a nod with Harrison, Charizard would be happy for a rematch.

Ash looked up just in time to see the first round match ups to be revealed.

He was up to battle one of the home favourites, a trainer by the name of Nita.

He walked off towards the Pokémon centre. He had time and had research to do.

A/N, hi guys. I am sorry that I have taken so long to update. I have been doing things. (college work ect.)

I am also sorry that this chapter was a little shorter but I did get to showcase Ash's power as a trainer so yeah.

Thanks for reading and this is HCS signing off.
