''Meloetta'' Speech

'Meloetta' Thoughts

'Impossible,' Gary thought over and over again. He couldn't believe it; he'd lost against Ash. He stared with wide eyes at the raven haired boy, who was happily hugging his Pikachu and Sylveon.

Gary recalled his defeated Eevee, and wordlessly left the scene with his cheerleaders in tow. He was devastated, but above all, very envious about how awesome Ash's Sylveon was. He'd never seen a Sylveon before, and it made him angry that Ash had one while he didn't. Moreover, he lost in a matter of seconds, something which he hadn't expected in a million years.

'Maybe Ashy-boy was right,' he thought to himself with his head turned low.

'I should put more effort in training the pokemon who I use more, instead of catching so many different pokemon that I can't even keep track of them all.'

He turned his face into a bittersweet smile. 'You got this one, Ash, I'll give you that. Next time, however, things will be very much different.'

A little while later, in the dining room of the S.S. Anne, Ash was celebrating his victory over Gary with a nice dinner for his pokemon and him. More importantly, his Eevee had evolved into a gorgeous Sylveon, which was worth a celebration in itself.

''I couldn't be more proud of you, Sylveon. You've worked so hard for this moment,'' the raven haired trainer praised his fairy-type while petting her soft, fluffy fur.

''Syl!'' she sang in a sweet voice, amiably munching on her pokepuffs while nuzzling into Ash's hand. She couldn't be happier at the moment and enjoyed every second of it.

''Really, squirt. You showed that Eevee who's boss,'' Pikachu brought in while he was busy licking a ketchup bottle.

''Thanks, uncle Pika!'' she declared sweetly.

Meloetta giggled. ''It seems that Gary's Eevee had a bit of an eye for you too, Pikachu.''

Her teasing had the desired effect. Pikachu turned a bit shy and huffed in denial. ''Well, it's not that I like her or anything. She has the same attitude as her trainer; acting like she's superior in everything that she does. Besides, she insulted Sylveon and Ash.''

''Yeah, she's a meanie!'' Sylveon agreed while nodding her head.

''well, sweetheart,'' Meloetta cooed, ''You put that meanie in her place. Next time, she will think twice in underestimating you.''

The group was interrupted when a loud thunderclap pierced the heavens and shook the windows on their framework. Angry clouds had packed together in a matter of seconds; the wind had picked up as well and waves began to rock the ship.

Sylveon—startled—hid behind Ash while Pikachu looked on worriedly. Murmurs and panicked whispers from other passengers quickly spread, especially because the waves became rougher and rougher.

''This is one scary storm,'' Ash whispered, ''Will we be okay, Meloetta?''

''Melo meloetta,'' she replied soothingly to her trainer. She had confidence in her own skills that if worst came to worst, she could keep the ship safe.

''Attention, passengers!'' the captain spoke over the intercom. ''It appears we're in some rough waters at the moment. Please remain calm. The S.S. Anne is unsinkable, so there's nothing to worry about.''

Immediately when the captain was done speaking, though, a particularly rough wave began to capsize the massive cruiser, sending human and pokemon alike in a frenzy of fear.

Tables and chairs began to slide from their spots, food and tableware clattered on the ground and the lights began to flicker. Loud creaks of protest from the hull and the floor rang through the room, while full blown panic broke out under the passengers.

''Meloetta!'' Ash screamed at the top of his lungs while holding Pikachu and Sylveon protectively in his arms.

He didn't have to shout twice. Meloetta had already turned visible, eyes aglow with her immense psychic powers. With everything she could muster, she pressed down on the other side of the S.S. Anne, desperately trying to stop her from capsizing.

For a moment, it looked like she was unable to do it, but with a snarl and a loud cry of her name, she halted the momentum of the massive cruiser to a complete stop, which was now turned at a forty-five-degree angle. Sweat dripped from her brow; rough waves were still battering the ship. There was no way she was going to keep this up for long.

''Melo melo!'' she cried to Ash through gritted teeth. Massive thunderclaps went off almost non-stop, and a heavy rain poured down from the heavens above.

Ash widened his eyes at her suggestion to leave the ship without her. ''No way! I'm not leaving you behind, Meloetta. Just hold on, I'll figure something out!''

''Mel!''

Ash returned Sylveon to her pokeball for the time being, and put Pikachu on his shoulder. ''Hang on tight, buddy. I've got a plan!''

''Pika pika!'' The electric rodent nodded his head in determination.

At the same time, crew members were already busy evacuating the S.S. Anne. Small boats were filled with humans and lowered to the water as quickly as possible. When Ash sprinted on the deck, he looked with a grimace on his face to all the people still running around in panic. 'Meloetta's not going to last that long. I've no choice but to use him.'

The raven haired trainer hurried himself to the railing of the ship on the other side and threw a single pokeball into the air. ''Dragonite, I choose you!''

The massive behemoth appeared in the dark, stormy evening, eyes aglow when he landed in the water with a massive splash. This resulted in huge counter waves coming from the other side of the ship, threatening to drown the S.S. Anne entirely.

''Dragonite, stop the waves with your Dragon Claw, quickly!'' Ash yelled out in alarm. He hadn't put in account that Dragonite's size would create such dangerous waves.

His dragon-type was quick to see the danger, and sliced the waves horizontally with his paw, reducing them into nothing. The wind he generated with his slice was like a deadly Air Slash, that luckily traveled the other way, slicing through waves until it dissipated into nothing in the far distance.

'I really need to start working on Dragonite's power output as soon as possible,' Ash thought with wide eyes and ragged breath.

''Sorry, Ash,'' Dragonite rumbled apologetically. His voice was sad, but the raven haired trainer waved it off dismissively.

''Don't worry about it. Those are concerns for later. The cruiser, Dragonite! Meloetta is not going to keep it for longer. Lift it up.''

The ancient pokemon complied, and put his massive paws on the hull of the ship. This caused even more panic from the passengers who were still on board. They expected the giant dragon to finish them off, but to their astonishment, he instead began to help them.

Meanwhile, Meloetta could finally relax as she felt a strong force from outside helping her to keep the S.S. Anne in her place.

''Thank you, Dragonite!'' she chirped melodically. She released the breath she didn't know she was holding, and went outside to see Ash giving his giant pokemon pointers.

''Just like that, Dragonite. Easy there, take your time.''

Within a couple of minutes, the damaged S.S. Anne was steadily floating on the waves again. It took Dragonite a lot of willpower, though. His paws were shaking; doing his absolute best not to use too much strength. When he was done, he wiped away the sweat that had formed on his face with a satisfied smile.

''Awesome, Dragonite! You did it. Nice job!'' Ash praised.

''Anytime, Ash,'' he replied with a gentle nod.

The raven haired trainer returned him to his pokeball when nobody was looking, and seeing that the worst of the storm was over, gave his Meloetta a warm hug. ''Thank you,'' he whispered in her ear, which made the petite legendary blush.

''Mel mel,'' she replied sweetly, hugging her trainer back with eagerness. She enjoyed the soft embrace she was currently in with Ash, and wished it could last forever.

Unfortunately, everything came to an end. When most passengers realized the storm had settled, some of them had noticed Ash and Meloetta, and they soon began to notify the other people.

''Hey everybody! It's the kid with the legendary! He saved us!''

A crowd was forming around the duo in no time, all clapping for him and Meloetta. Ash reacted shyly while rubbing the back of his head, while Meloetta giggled and bowed gratefully.

''This kid didn't save us at all,'' a voice scoffed suddenly. It was a young man with blue hair and sunglasses at the top of his head. He wore a pink shirt, black pants and had his arms crossed. His scowl immediately gave away for a chuckle when he got the attention that he sought.

''You're all blind to see, people. Was it not the ancient pokemon who saved us all? He graced us with his presence, and from the kindness of his heart, helped us out. No, this kid, he's a fraud, not fit to command the power that is Meloetta.''

He paused for dramatic effect, and gave a toothy grin. ''If it were me that had trained Meloetta—Damian—then she would've saved the ship by herself without the help of the ancient pokemon. But with this kid...'' He shook his head.

'Is he serious right now?' Meloetta thought despitefully. 'He better shut up really fast, because I'm not in the mood to hear this kind of nonsense, at all.'

Damian continued. ''The way I see it, there's only one logical conclusion.'' Damian turned his attention to Ash and Meloetta, who both looked ready to explode. ''You give Meloetta to me, simple. Clearly, I'm way more fit to train her than you do and—''

The next moment, Meloetta had knocked him out with her psychic and rendered him unconscious. She huffed indignantly at Damian, before hugging Ash again.

''Anyone got a problem with that?'' Ash asked. When all the passengers shook their heads, he smiled.

''Good, me neither.''

When Ash was back in the privacy of his cabin with Meloetta, he could see the sly smile and blush on her face, clear as day. It was obvious what she wanted, and with a gentle push, she had her raven haired trainer trapped against a wall. Ash didn't protest, certainly not when she gently cupped his cheeks, and went in for a deep kiss, capturing his lips with her own. Her lips were like honey, sweet and soft as she pressed them against Ash. He couldn't help but to close his eyes and kiss her back in earnest.

A shiver traveled from Meloetta's spine upwards. She was on cloud nine at the moment. Ash was serenading her in a sweet melody that had her only wanting more, much more. Again and again, she kissed him, soft murmurs escaping her mouth whenever she moved away and then went in for another kiss. An adorable blush had taken over her face, her heart was beating in her chest and her hands were shaking, but she didn't care. All she cared about was Ash at the moment.

''Melo,'' she chirped softly to Ash once she had moved away again.

''I know you're mine, Meloetta,'' he replied back with a smile. She had chosen him for a reason, he knew. Nobody was going to change the fact she was his pokemon forever, and she sealed that promise with another loving kiss.
