A Pokemon Legend Unveiled to the public.
Disclaimer: If I owned Pokemon, this season of XY&Z will end with Ash and Serena together ^-^
Chapter Two: The Day After
Back in his room, Red sat there, looking at the wall, never truly sticking to one train of thought, the only sounds that could be heard was the water coming from the shower, and the sound of cooing hoothoot outside the window, Red was wearing nothing except for a pair of boxers and his hat, Ignis was sleeping at the bottom of the bed, Red was sitting just on the corner. Ash Ketchum had challenged him to a pokemon battle, one that will determine whether or not the young man is worthy enough to become a Pokemon master. But did he have to challenge Red? After all, the master only had two losses to his name, and only one of those are official. Red cannot say that he hasn't heard of Ash before, when he would contact Professor Oak or Blue, all he would hear about is how Gary and Ash are doing. Gary decided to become a professor and Ash is still on his journey to become a Pokemon master. Each time Ash was on the news Red would wait where he was and continue to watch the match, if he missed one he would simply wait until he could watch the recordings.
The water from the shower came to a halt, "Red, can you pass me a towel, I forgot mine!" Red's girlfriend Misty asked, he stood up, collected a towel from the cabinet and walked towards the bathroom. Opening the door, and blocking his vision, Red put his arm with the towel on to Misty "here." She looked at him for a second, then giggled a little.
"Red we've been dating for three years, you've seen me naked plenty of times as of late, since we started doing the naughty" Misty giggled, and waited for his reply.
"Yes but I had your permission those times." Red replied, still holding the towel. Misty smiled 'How gentlemanly of him' Misty thought before she moved his arm out of the way and pressed her wet naked body against his, wrapping her arms around his neck, and kissing him on the lips, of course this caught him by surprise, but in an instant he dropped the towel and held his girlfriends hips, pulling her closer towards him, deepening the kiss. It was a matter of time before Red's tongue ran along to the bottom of Misty's lips, and she opened her mouth in approval, their tongues wrestling for dominance, but the second Red lifted Misty up and she wrapped her legs around his waist, he walked towards the shower, Misty quickly drew back from the kiss, resting her head on his forehead and said "Red, I just washed." Red looked down towards her body, the water running down her glistening pale skin, the tips of her light blush nipples erect and he is sure as hell he could feel a slight dampness near his crotch, so he just smirked and replied with "Its your fault for getting dirty." And with that a night full of naughty fun was held, and Ignis was asleep the entire time.
~The next morning, Ash's Room~
There was a continued knocking at the door that proceeded to get louder and louder, until a voice could be heard "ASH KETCHUM OPEN YOUR DOOR RIGHT NOW!" Ash was awake, he had been since 7 that morning, Pikachu was waking but only due to the sound of someone as the door, Ash looked to it, and sighed, he guessed that he might as well see who it was and dismiss them, he wasn't ready to face anyone just yet. "ASHKETCHUMOPENTHISDOORRIGTNO-" The voice stopped the second Ash opened the door.
There she was May Maple, Ash's girlfriend. She had came to him from Hoen to watch his battle against Vinicity, someone who had been building themselves a rich reputation in being undefeated; Ash was happy to admit that he had been defeated by many opponents, but they were strong apponents that he eventually got around to defeating anyway. Tobias? Ash defeated in a 3V3 match, his Darkrai, Latios and Latias hadn't been much of a competition for Ash's Greninja, Charizard and Sceptile. May was giving him a look that told him that if he didn't answer her he would be in trouble.
"Sorry, what was the question?" Ash asked, May looked down for a minute in defeat and returned her gaze back to Ash, she then asked if she could enter the room, Ash opened the door for her and she walked over to his bed, sat down and pulled Pikachu onto her lap, scratching his red cheeks. "Ash, why'd you challenge Red? I mean he is THE Pokemon Master, there is next to no one that can defeat him, he is the owner of the number one score in terms of pokemon battles won, pokemon owned, he scores a perfect 100 in all tests. Ash, you challenge the literal definition of Master, even his last name is Masters! Why on earth would you challenge him?" May asked, hiding her head in Pikachu's fur.
Ash looked at the window for a second, taking a moment to gather his thoughts he remembered his first time seeing Red.
~Flashback~
Pallet Town
8 years ago.
Ash is 6 Years old.
Red just turned 10, he owns two badges.
The kids of Pallet town had all began running towards the town's center. Ash was playing with Gary when Tyler, a local youngster told them that the new trainers were battling in the towns center, the two immidiately raced towards the location. The new trainers were Blue, Gary's cousin, Leaf and Red.
It appears that they got to the center just in time because the three way battle was just getting started. "This battle will be a 2x2x2 three way battle between Pallets newest trainers Red, Blue and Leaf, there will be no cheating, let the battle begin!" Shouted Mr Referee.
"Good luck Red" Leaf winked towards the ten year old clad in jeans and a red jacket "Go Jigglypuff" She threw her pokeball out and the big pink ball of musical talent appeared, blowing air into its cheeks, making them look bigger.
"I think its my turn now" blue said, pulling a pokeball from his jacket pocket and threw it into the air "Go Exeggcute!" and out of the pokeball came five oval looking pokemon with angry looking faces attached to a smashed egg. Blue looked through the crowed and saw Gary and Ash "Hey, you two pay attention, because this will be my shining moment!" He shouted to the two.
Red just stood there in silence for a moment, lifted up his jacket, showing that he had a belt containing four pokemon, and threw one into the air, and out came a Mankey. Red just looked towards Blue's Exeggcute and Leafs Jigglypuff.
"Jigglypuff use Sing!" Leaf commanded, Jigglypuff jumped into the air and was about to open its mouth but then Mankey jumped into the air and delivered a Hi Jump Kick, sending Jigglypuff to the ground, its fur being covered in mud. "Exeggcute lets take advantage of this opening, use tackle!" Exeggcute began running forward, charging towards the two pokemon, but just at the last second, Mankey jumped into the air, making Exeggcute only hit Jigglypuff. Ash looked over towards Red and saw that he was giving commands but only with his eyes, and opening his mouth every now and then, as if mouthing commands. Leaf also notived this and it seemed to annoy her.
"Jigglypuff, double slap on Mankey!" Jigglypuff them began chasing Mankey around the ring of a battle field that had been created by most of the kids in the town, and even some of the adults (Including Daisy, Blue and Gary's older sister and their grandfather Professor Oak). Blue ordered his Exeggcute to observe the attacking and dodging pattern of the other pokemon, and it may have taken a second, but they noticed a pattern in the twos fighting "Exeggcute, use leech seed!" Exeggcute then shot his seeds towards Mankey and Jigglypuff. It was at this moment that Red's first verbal command was heard "Mankey, return those Leech Seeds to exeggcute using Double-Kick, then grab hold of Jigglypuff and use Seismic Toss!" Leaf was so off guard by Red's voice that she didn't know how to react, she just stared at him, and blue didn't have time to react as next thing he knew, his Exeggcute had been enwrapped in an ivory cage made form its own move, red lighting hitting all over its body, stealing health and sending the energy into the ground. Mankey then grabbed hold of Jigglypuff jumped into the air and threw the pink ball into the ground with a thud, dusty mud sprayed all over its body.
The thud had brought Leaf out of her daydream, she looked at the battle field, and heard Mr Referee announce that Jigglypuff was unable to battle, Mankey and Exeggcute won. Leaf observed her opponents for a second, thinking about which pokemon would be best to use, she knows that if she used Ditto she would be able to use their own moves against them, but she doesn't know all of their moves, and if she used her Clefairy she may be taken out quickly because he hasn't quite got the hang of it yet. "Go Bulbasaur!" And out came her starter pokemon.
Blue knew that he was in trouble, his Exeggcute was trapped within its own cage, zapping its energy every now and then, and also limiting its actions. He knew that Mankey may have lost a little energy in that last battle with Jigglypuff, it didn't lose enough to be taken out easily, and Bulbasuar had just entered the mix, and had been with Leaf the most, meaning that her Bulbasaur was the most trained. "Exeggcute, use Sunnyday!" Exeggcute looked up and everyone began feeling the heat as the sun became prominent in the sky "Now begin charging Solarbeam!" Exeggcute nodded and its heads all began glowing yellow. "Bulbasuar, take advantage of the Sunnyday and also charge up your solar beam!" Bulbasaur's bulb began glowing yellow. "Mankey, fury swipes on both Bulbasaur and Exeggcute, they can't do much defending when they're charging up!" Red commanded,. Mankeys claws grew a few inches in size and then it jumped on top of Bulbasuar and swiped his body five times, before Red commanded he move onto Exeggcute.
Mankey jumped into the air, its claws shimmering in the increased sunlight he was just about to land on Exegcute when Blue gave the command. "Exeggcute. SOLARBEAM!" and with that, Exeggcute released a huge beam of light towards Mankey, hitting him and sending him flying into the air and onto the ground with a thud, his eyes a spiral. "Mankey is unable to battle, the winners are Exeggcute and Bulbasaur!" the very second Mr Referee announced the winner, Exeggcute collapsed out of exhuastion. "Exeggcute is unable to battle, Bulbasaur wins!" both Red and Blue locked eyes onto each other, blue reached for his belt buckle, and Red did the same, and they both threw their pokeballs at the exact same time. "Go Squirtle!" shouted blue "Hang in There Charmander!"
~End of Flashback~
The winner of the match was Red, both his and Blue's starer pokemon evolved after taking out Bulbasaur, the two then spent a whole twenty minutes trying to defeat eachother, but in the end, Red won because Charmanders fire type attacks had been powered up from Exeggcutes Sunnyday, ash returned to the room and realised he was still looking at the wall, he then returned his gaze towards May, clenching his hand. "I challenged Red Masters to a battle because he is the one who inspired me to become a pokemon master. Red is the master I have always wanted to meet and battle, but now I get my chance to battle him and afterwards I can become a master myself. Even if I lose, I can go through the process of climbing up that ladder once again." Ash said, looking into his girls eyes "May, I want you to stay with me till the end, I will take out Red." May could tell how sincere Ash truly was in this moment, and smiled, her eyes glazed over in tears. "I love you Ash, I will always stay here by your side!" She shouted before hugging Ash, nuzzling his neck.
~Later That Day~
Blue was standing there, resting on the railing, looking over at the ocean. He stayed at the hotel that had been rented by the match between Ash and Vinicity, his girlfriend Erika had left to return to her Gym just an hour before, she had been told that a Victreebel had begun trying to eat the Seedot in the Gym, so she kissed her boyfriend goodbye, said her goodbyes to Misty and Red and left, Misty left just a few minutes afterwards, getting a call saying her Gyrados had been acting enraged again, and Red is currently at his hotel room, trying to clean it up for the maids (only Red would).
Here Blue was, watching the ocean from the view and enjoying it. He hadn't realised how he hasn't enjoyed things since he left for his journey. The second he obtained his pokemon, he almost immediately began travelling a constant velocity of increased speed. Never truly slowing down, even when he lost his position as Champion, he travelled around Jhoto, increasing his knowldge and battle strategy. He believed that he had gained enough strength to battle Red once again, so he headed towards the league, except Red was no longer the Champion, Lance was once again. This is where he was told that within 11 months, red had gone to being the Champion of Kanto to being the third highest ranked Pokemon Master in Kanto. He had gone to Mount Silver to really test his ability, and so that is where Blue went, he travlled all of Mt. Silver, it took him two weeks, and alot of survival techniques, but he eventually found Red, he was just standing there, looking all over Kanto and Jhoto. When Blue got near, Red told him that the greatest view of Kanto was still not in his grasp, but instead he had found the greatest view that he can always reach, no matter how far he falls, this place will always be a reachable goal for him, but Blue was not ready, Red had told him that he will only be ready once he takes a second to enjoy the world and what it has to deliver, rather than to use it for his own gain. They battled, and Red only used two pokemon, telling Blue, that he isn't ready yet to become a master, that he had something else in mind. Red gave him an application sheet, Red told him that he was not to open it, and give it to Lance.
The next thing Blue knew, he had become a Gym leader, to a gym that was just thirteen hours away from his house in Pallet.
So this view meant a lot to him, it was him finally understanding Red's advice. He has been a Gym Leader for five years, been in a relationship with Erika, another Gym Leader, for almost all of that time, he has a few titles under his belt, he comes from a famous family, has completed the Pokedex, is best friends with Red Masters, and the only person, to date who has seen Red's most strongest pokemon, both before and after he caught it.
This site, this view, Blue could never have dreamed of.
Beep-Beep
"Huh?"
Beep-Beep
"Oh its my Pokegear. The Gym? Hello? Yes, this is Blue Oak, Gym Leader of Viridian City, how may I help?... My Rhyperior? Okay, give me a second, I'll be right there!" Blue turned off his Pokegear and ran straight for the hotel room.
To Be Continued...
AN/: So what do you think of the latest Chapter to this series? Everything will tie into a much larger plot, I want to take my time with this story because I believe that it is the absolute best way to tell the story of how the Masters ended.
