Pearlshipper4evar: I died writing this chapter. This is the longest fic I have ever written this chapter at least its like 8k words XD
Sans the Skeleton: I agree. It took you 4evar to finish it.

Pearlshipper4evar: Lets a-void the puns right now. I am scared of being swallowed by the void known as Dok...

Sans the Skeleton: DON"T SPOIL THE STORY!

Pearlshipper4evar: oh yeah but I am scared. But basically the reason I was so late is because this chapter took so long to write and my arm broke and my tooth chipped. And I had finals and a new awesome ANIME came out...

Sans the Skeleton: Oh and before you say anything else. Someone PM'd you asking why ur nickname is mega, Because they though you stole it from Mega Pokemon.

Pearlshipper4evar: It comes from Megaminx(Type of Rubix Cube GOOGLE IT), I can solve a Megaminx really fast so my original nickname was Megaminxsolver but then I shortened it to MegaSolver then to MegaSean now finally Mega... SO yeah...

Sans: Mega doesn't own Be Somebody by Thousand Foot Krutch or Pokemon! They go to their respective owners.

Mega and Sans: ON WITH THE FIC!

Chapter 8: Be Somebody


(Ash POV)

A world of darkness… A world where life was devoid of and where only a chamber existed holding the most evil and dark of all creatures.

My mindscape was full of these dreams. I finally entered the chamber to see what it wanted from me. As soon as I entered, I noticed red chains surrounding a creature as black as death itself. I have never felt fear run so deep into my bones. The face so evil, my stomach wrenched in fear and I felt my life force being drained. As I slipped away back to my mindscape, I felt something or someone drag me out, rescuing me...

Then I was sent spiralling into a hall.

(Normal POV) (Ash's Dream!)

He felt the world weigh down on his chest… As soon as they entered the corridor, his emotions would break. She entered…

"Welcome to the final corridor, until revival" He stated blankly.

"Get out of my way or face annihilation." She smirked.

"The power to hold two souls… I have a question for you. Do you think even the worst person can change… Then everyone can be a good person if they just try…."

Silence filled the black chamber.

"Yes…" She replied.

Suddenly she gasped. "That is not what I was going to say."

"You have two souls in your body. Split from it and you will be spared. If you don't… You will not like what happens next. Just ask yourself this question, 'Do you want to have a bad time!'. He smirked from beneath his hood.

"Get out of my way old man!" She yelled stepping forward to see his face. His eyes were closed and he looked weary and tired. His skin was dark and tanned to a subtle brown. An black and grey Xtransceiver resided on his left wrist. Suddenly he moved his left hand into his pocket and held out his right arm completely straight with his palm facing downwards. His knees were bent and he was slouching in a relaxed position. His eyes opened and she gasped. His left eye was completely black with no trace of any other color in them. However his right eye was flashing different colors of the rainbow.

"Then you leave me no choice…" He whispered as moonlight illuminated his darkened face, "GET DUNKED ON!"

His right arm glowed with golden aura and he smirked. "Let me tell you something… By destruction of the host's soul the second soul hidden within the host's body, that supplies the weak host soul with energy, will be released freeing the dead second soul, I will bring her back to life!"

He raised his right arm above her head and the girl went flying up smashing into the steel ceiling.

CRACK!

Her arm had taken the blow and the bones in it cracked completely and shattered.

"I WILL TEACH YOU REAL PAIN!" He screamed, forcefully bringing his hand back to his side.

The girl's body followed his arms movement and smashed into the ground breaking her other arm.

"H-how.." She cried out in extreme pain.

"By pairing the movement of my hand with your body with the use of manipulating your and my aura, I can cause you to move to my will. You know, I honestly thought you would be a challenge, with that second soul of yours" He darkly chuckled.

His assault continued smashing her into the walls, the roof, and the ground; breaking her and her will.

His lazy expression and his laid back movement was astounding. Only his right arm moved as he slouched. She was slammed over and over and over again breaking her body and almost completely destroying her.

"You might be the true heroine of this world, but let me tell you something…. THE HERO NEVER WINS!"

He momentarily stopped his assault, and his eyes for a brief moment switched to his normal form before switching back. During that brief moment she saw the sadness in his eyes, it was beyond comprehension. The mental torture he must of faced to feel that way, but still stay stoic and emotionless. He was truly a master of hidden emotions.

"If you give up the second soul and set it free I will let you destroy this universe. Destroy spacetime for all I care, just let the soul be free and never harm it. You will be spared from this torture."

She thought about it for a moment. No If I let this soul go I will be too weak and useless to free master and save the world from its torture. If he dies then the VOID will be free of its torture. I can attack him when his guard is down. Yes let me tell him I will pretend to separate the souls.

"Fine I will separate the souls." I stated blankly.

He smirked and laughed as sunlight filtered in from outside into the dark hallway, "You know, it's a beautiful day outside…. The birds are chirping and flowers are blooming… On days like this, kids like you... S h o u l d b e b u r n i n g i n h e l l !"

The hallway illuminated with a giant aura sphere that was so powerful even Rayquaza wouldn't be able to stand up to it. It was launched towards her broken bleeding body.

"GET DUNKED ON YOU MEGALOMANIAC!"

CRACK!

A sound resided through the cavern waking Ash from his 'dream'.

(Dawn POV)

He was out of it for 3 days and finally today he woke up. When he collapsed, I rushed and took him to the Nimbasa city Pokemon Center, however due to the power outage from the explosion that destroyed the power plant, he couldn't be healed. Cresselia tried to wake him, but she failed. However, when he was about to slip from the clutches of life, a misty aura surrounded us and took him to the Castelia City Hospital. He was healed and rested. Then a man approached me and introduced himself as Sean Pinto.

(Normal POV)

Ash woke up to find Dawn lying on top of him sleeping. Not having the heart to wake her he left her be. About ten minutes later, she woke up.

"Morning Dawn!" Ash said joyfully, momentarily forgetting about his dark dream!

Her face brightened up. "ASH! You are awake! I was so worried!"

"Where are we?" he questioned.

"Castelia City Hospital." She responded.

"How did we get all the way over here? I thought we were in Nimbasa?" he gaped.

"You were dying… This man saved your life by teleporting us here with his aura. He said he wants to meet you, he is quite mysterious he always kept his hood up while talking to me." She slowly and carefully spoke.

Suddenly mist clouded the room and the same hooded man appeared.

"Did you mist me" he chuckled.

"Oh, I forgot he also is obsessed with puns." Dawn mentioned.

Ash's eyes widened and he pulled Dawn behind him, "Y-you are the man from my dream, I will s-stop you and protect Dawn." He stuttered out with a white face.

"Kid, if I wanted to kill you you would be dead already, I could have left you for dead. Also what is this about a dream." He questioned removing his hood.

His tanned skin stood out in contrast to his black hair. However, on closer inspection, one would see that his hair was infact the darkest shade of brown without being black. His eyes were calculating and filled with an odd emotion. As if he had just a massive facade on, like a mask that concealed his emotions.

"Actually, don't tell me now. How about we meet 10 PM at the entrance Castelia City Gym, we can talk after your battle." With that he slowly walked out of the room.

Ash and Dawn left the hospital and wandered the streets of Castelia City finding a small hotel.

"Welcome to the Purazuma Hotel (A/N: I dare you to find out what Purazuma means and put translate it for me)" a male attendant joyfully stated, "We have keys for two separate rooms Madam, would you like it for 30% off." he continued explicitly looking at Dawn, ignoring Ash.

Ash's face grew to a dark red as he glared at the man. Dawn, unaware of the man's gestures or Ash's anger, said "Actually, we would like one room."

He gave them a key, not without glaring at Ash. Ash yanked Dawn away from him and plowed up the stairs into the room.

He quickly brought out a computer and opened up Google Chrome.

"What are you doing, Ash?" Dawn questioned.

"Don't you think that guy was the least bit suspicious. I am trying to dig up information on him."

He quickly entered "Sean" into the search bar and immediately results for Shaun White, Sean Connery, Sean Pinto, and many more.

Ash narrowed the list down by pictures to Sean Pinto. According to Wikipedia his profile was deleted.

"SEE, Suspicious!"

"Actually, Ash they said that his profile is on the Pokemon National Trainers Website, as he did not want his information on Wikipedia." Dawn reasoned out, pointed out the fine text in the corner.

Ash squinted his eyes and noticed the redirection link. Clicking on it it took us to his trainer page.

Sean Pinto(Picture was shown of the same man):

Ash stopped looking and turned around to look at Dawn. Her eyes were as wide as his and her mouth was dropped.

"WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK!" Ash screamed out, "HOW IS THIS GUY SO GOOD!"

"Ash! Don't swear!" Dawn firmly reprimanded still in a shocked trance.

"NO THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! HOW ON EARTH IS THAT MAN THE STRONGEST BATTLER ON EARTH!"

"Ash, calm down…" Dawn whispered into Ash's ear gently.

The said boy slowly heaved and panted as he let his anger out onto the squeezy stress ball Leaf bought for him 5 years ago. The poor ball that was supposed to be able to withstand mass amounts of pressure popped splatting plastic all over the floor.

Ash´s red face slowly turned back to normal excluding his twitching eyebrows.

"When we meet him tomorrow, I am going to pummel him and take his title of Pokemon Master!" Ash yelled to the room pumping his fist into the air.

"I am confident that you will win Ash, but I don't want you to get hurt." Dawn said with a twinge of doubt in her voice.

"What do you mean Dawn?" Ash questioned looking at his girlfriend.

"Well at least let's look at his battle videos." She said reasonably.

Ash turned back to the computer and scrolled down to the battle video section.

There were 5 featured battles on the page. The most viewed video was a battle against Champion Cynthia.

Ash clicked on the video and waited for it to finish buffering. A few seconds later the video began.

Sean was wearing the hoodie he met us in. It was blue with three pokemon on it, a Milotic, Darmanitan, and Victreebel. Underneath that there was a white spiky bubble with black words saying EXTREME. His arm was placed in his hoodie pocket and he had a very relaxed pose. However in this image he appeared to be much much much younger.

Ash narrowed his eyes skeptically at the age he appeared to be and paused the video. He scrolled down to find the date of the video, Year 2596 Month 9 Day 30.

"Wait… THIS WAS ALMOST 35 YEARS AGO!" Dawn exclaimed, causing Ash's jaw to drop

His age on the website was 48 so putting that into perspective he was 12 in this battle.

"He must have lost… No way a 12 year old became champion."

Ash went back and played the video. The battle started out with Sean and Cynthia on opposite sides of the battle field. The sound was muted however Cynthia had sent out a Spiritomb and Sean sent a Metang out. Cynthia appeared to laugh over her type advantage and Spiritomb used Shadow Ball.

The attack struck Metang straight out causing a dust cloud to form. Sean's expression or features did not change, however his appearance became more relaxed as he slouched down more with his knee caps loosening. When the dust cleared Metang came out unfazed and unmoved. It had the same creepy, bored, and featureless expression like Sean. Quickly Sean called out a command and Metang just forward landing a Iron head on Spiritomb. The attack smashed Spiritomb into the wall behind it. The wall shattered and Spiritomb appeared to be fainted. Sean and Metang continued with the same expression as they waited for Cynthia to call out her next Pokemon. She; however, was still focused on the collapsed wall. Her mouth was agape. Most of the audience fled to the other side of the auditorium which was behind Sean. They were less likely to get hit by pieces of the crumbling wall. Cynthia slowly recalled Spiritomb and tossed out Milotic. Sean switched out into an Ampharos, which was quite an obvious switch to most people. However the one odd thing was that when Ampharos was called out he had a purplish aura to him. However Ash just shrugged it off as a recording glitch, while Dawn looked at the small screen skeptically. Cynthia had Milotic use Earthquake on the supposed electric type Ampharos. Suddenly Ampharos used bounce, a move he should normally be unable to learn. Using bounce he successfully dodged Earthquake. Ampharos smashed into Milotic damaging the field creating a large crater in the center. In the center of the crater Milotic was fainted with its bleeding body in the center. Unlike Spiritomb which did not have blood or skin, Milotic was bruised all over and bleeding. Rocks were strewn everywhere from the collision with Ampharos standing there with a bored expression. The audience looked extremely surprised. Cynthia, the strongest Pokemon Trainer, was getting rinsed by a twelve year old. Cynthia quickly recalled Milotic and sent out Garchomp. Sean stayed in with Ampharos. Cynthia had Garchomp use Incandescent Rocks, a custom move that could never miss. Ampharos stood their and took the beating. When the attack landed Ampharos's sprite disappeared and was replaced with a Zoroark.

Ash and Dawn gasped. Sean had very similar Pokemon to Ash, and it was a very interesting decoy in terms of surprise.

Zoroark appeared unfazed by the attacks and rushed forward, under Sean's commands, using Foul Play. The attack completely blew parts of the field to oblivion. It appeared that Zoroark was wielding(A/N: Review if you see what I did there :3) a dark sword and was standing dead on top of Garchomp. Garchomp's body was ripped, it was bleeding from every pore in its body and the field was blown apart next to it. Most of the audience had fled from the stadium and Cynthia had taken a step back. Her face was scrambled as it switched between multiple emotions. All battle neither Sean or his Pokemon faces changed, even when they were attacking. They were remaining emotionless. It was scary, but also pacifying. Cynthia snapped out of it and recalled Garchomp. She sent out a Lucario. Sean followed in suit calling out his own Lucario. The fight ended once again with one shot from Sean's lucario while staying emotionless. The battle continued on with Sean winning. Every single one of Cynthia's Pokemon had been oneshotted everyone in the audience was shocked. Sean and his Pokemon were extremely happy with a look of pure joy on their faces. Someone was about to run up to Sean when the video ended.

Ash turned back to Dawn. Both of them had a look of pure shock on their faces.

"I think I am gonna go to sleep, do you want to join me." Ash weakly stated.

"Y-yeah…" Dawn muttered back.

A few moments later the lights were off and the two shocked adults were fast asleep in eachothers arms.


Outside of the hotel Team Plasma was formulating a plan.

"This is our hotel, however the punk is inside with his girlfriend. We will burn it down, ok!"

The other grunts replied with a nod. They sent out a fire type Pokemon each. They were about to burn it down when a figure with a blue hoodie appeared in front of them and knocked them all unconscious with a swipe of his hand. A few seconds later the figure was gone along with the unconscious bodies.


(TIME SKIP - MORNING)

Ash and Dawn awoke to Marshtomps yelling.

"WAKE UP YOU LOVESICK PUPPIES!"

Ash fell of the bed with a massive headache, while Dawn sat up rubbing her eyes, Marstomp, seeing that he had woken them up, went outside of the room to let them change out of their pajamas.

Ash entered the bathroom with his backpack to get dressed while Dawn could get dressed. They both brushed their teeth and packed their stuff.

They found Marshtomp waiting

"Hey guys, I found a neat breakfast buffet!"

"BUFFET! AWESOME!" Ash screamed into the air startling most of the pedestrians at the side.

He sprinted after Marshtomp into the confusing Castelia city streets. Dawn quickly boarded Togekiss and flew after them.

A few moments later, they were kicked out of the buffet place. Ash had eaten about 10 plates of food and was waiting for more.

"They have no right to treat customers like that!" he whined.

"Don't worry Ash it's fine," she consoled, "Hey weren't we supposed to meet Sean in front of the gym?! It's already 9:55"

"WHAT! Wait where is the gym?!" he face vaulted, "WHY IS CASTELIA SO CONFUSING!"

They dashed around the streets finding the pokemon center. Inside Nurse Joy told them the directions to the Gym.

Ash and Dawn boarded Brav and flew to the gym reaching their at 9:59.

"Phew, we made it." Dawn said exasperatingly.

She and Ash faced the gym only to find Sean sleeping in front of the gym doors!

"Wait what…."

Ash face vaulted as he screamed, "WAKE UP! OLD MAN!"

Sean lazily opened one eye, "Oh it's you guys…"

"I am only 48, I am not old." he muttered.

"I have a few questions for you!"

"First I want to watch you in your Gym battle. Then we will go on a quest for the answers you seek."

Dawn broke out into a fit of giggles, while Ash silently fumed.

Ash slammed the gym door open to be greeted by a green house full of plants and bug pokemon. The wall was decorated with abstract paintings all signed by a man named Burgh.

Sean and Dawn followed from behind.

"Welcome welcome my challengers! This is my gy-" Burgh, the gym leader, froze when he saw Sean.

"What brings the greatest trainer to my gym!" he continued in his high pitched voice.

"Nothin much, just wanna see this young trainer and his battle style."

Burgh squinted his eyes, "Why does he get this honor, of all people."

"His father, one of my great friends, have requested it of me."

Ash turned slowly toward Sean, "My father…".

"Oh dear, I forgot Delia told you he died, we will talk after your gym battle."

Ash's raven eyes turned glassy as he stared at the hooded man. His face was not visible, but you could tell me was emotionless by the monotone in his voice.

He turned back to Burgh, "How did you know it was him, if you can't see his face."

"That hoodie is one of a kind. Every time a replica is attempted, it mysteriously disappears. Nobody has every seen Master-Senpai without it." he said with his stacato voice.

Dawn perked up, "Oh I thought he was just making a bad fashion statement." she said in merry peals of laughter.

Ash chuckled lightly and smiled at his girlfriend.

"Can you just start the battle and stop wasting my nap time!" Sean said in a lazy monotone.

"Sheesh, fine!" Ash entered the challenger box on one side.

The field was a green terrain with a white Pokeball shape in the center with a line running from the sides of it into the box.

Burgh sent out a Crustle leading Ash to send Darmanitan out.

"Crustle, use XScissor!"

"Damage dodge and light the field on fire with flamethrower to slow Crustle down."

Sean, who was almost asleep, suddenly perked up hearing Ash's command.

"You could say that Damage is doing a lot of damage to the field."

Ash's face vaulted at the pun while Dawn and Burgh chuckled.

"SHUT UP SEAN!"

"Use Charm, Damage!" Ash yelled out trying to lower Crustles attack.

The attack hit causing Crustle's attack to be significatly lowered.

"I guess Damage is so smokin' hot that even Crustle fell to his charm." Sean chuckled out.

Ash turned around, "SEAN STOP MAKING PUNS!"

"What are you going to do, are you going to pun-ish me."

"STAHP!"

"Are you going to put me in a pungeon?"

"..."

"Ok I am done, I am going to watch Damage do damage now."

Ash facepalmed as he saw Burgh and Dawn rolling with laughter at the plight of Ash.

"I thought you were on my side Dawn." He pouted.

"I-it's j-just t-too f-f-funny." She said gasping for air.

Ash turned around with a deadpan on his face and ordered Damage to use Fire Blast on Crustle.

Crustle who had already took a lot of damage from the fire could not handle it and fainted.

Burgh who was still laughing called out Leavanny.

The moment Leavanny entered the field fire struck it causing it to instantly faint due to its quad-weakness to fire.

Burgh instantly sobered up and called out his final Pokemon, a Heracross.

Heracross flew up avoiding the flames

"Use whirlwind to blow away the flames." Burgh yelled.

However the attack had the opposite effect and the flames grew.

"I guess Burgh really fanned the flames!" he called out.

However this time nobody laughed because the raging inferno was spreading past the field and was going to burn the gym down.

"NO MY GYM, MY PRECIOUS PAINTINGS!" Burgh yelled with his ridiculously high voice.

Suddenly Sean snapped out of his lazy stupor and waved his hands. A heavy wind blew through the area destroying the flames and causing most of the paintings to fall from their hooks. Luckily none of them were damaged except for the seared field which was charred.

Everybody was looking at Sean with a wide mouth.

"WHAT?! Finish your battle already!" he said with a monotone

They continued looking at him.

"Stop staring at me!" he called out in his lazy monotone.

Ash and Burgh snapped back to the battle as Dawn continued cheering for Ash.

Normally Dawn would wear a cheer outfit for Ash's major battles, however this time she wasn't because she was confident with Ash's capabilities.

Heracross went in for a risky Close Combat.

"Damage use our signature move, FLAMING CROSSBOW!"

Darmanitan formed a crossbow and fired a barrage of fire in the shape of arrows at Heracross. 5 arrows struck Heracross putting him out of commision causing him to faint.

"NICE ONE, DAMAGE!" Ash cried out!

"Well that was a fun match my friend! Here as proof of your victory I give you the Insect badge." he said in his ridiculous voice.

Dawn started to run down the steps to congratulate Ash when she tripped on the steps. Sean caught her by the arm and said, "Careful, can't have you falling for me."

If his hood was off then Dawn would of caught his half wink and a silent chuckle.(A/N: Don't worry this isn't a Love Triangle)

Sean straightened her up and let her run towards Ash. She hugged Ash tightly and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

'So it appears that they are dating, hmmmm, this is an issue. I must test how much she loves him. He can't become heartbroken, if he does then Dokokashira... Hmmmm this is worse than I thought.' Sean thought to himself.

"Old Man, are you coming!" Ash yelled. He and Dawn were waiting at the exit for him to follow.

"Yeah, One Sec!"

He jumped down from the top of the flight of stairs where the audience seats were and landing safely on the bottom, without having his hood fall off.

He walked over to wear Ash and Dawn were with a very relaxed pose. His hands were in his pockets and he had an arched back. Not a single piece of skin showed on him due to his hoodie and jet black jeans. He walked up to them.

"Say, I know this excellent cafe we could go to so we can celebrate Ash's victory, it'll be on me!"

"YEAH!" Ash yelled pumping his fist into the air.

"You realize that Ash eats a ton right, unless it's a buffet your wallet will emptied out."

"I think I will be fine." He said with his usual monotone.

"Whatever you say!" Dawn said with a smirk.

Sean led them into a narrow alley. A couple of men were smoking and a few of them were passed out. They passed garbage bin to find a small humble cafe.

Sean entered with Ash and Dawn following him and a female waitress approached them.

"Welcome Mr. Master."

"That probably is the most redundant thing anybody has ever said to me…" he replied blankly with a deadpan.

"I am sorry Mr. Sean."

"Sean is just fine." He replied.

"Ok Mr. Sean."

Sean facepalmed while Dawn giggled in the corner. Ash smirked at the man's plight.

"Just get us seated!"

"Yes, Mr. Sean."

The waitress gave them a booth where they could sit and talk.

"I would like to order three Deluxe Edition Mega Course Meals."

"Yes, Mr. Sean."

The waitress stalked away.

"So while we wait, I am sure you must have some questions." Sean said.

"Yeah! How do you know my dad! He is dead!" Ash said with a slight sniffle.

"Aunt Delia lied to you… She was trying to keep you safe. That is all I will say on the matter."

"Fine, next question! When can I meet Dad and Mom." Ash replied.

Sean's shoulders tensed when Ash had said mom…

"You already have…"

"Wait what?"

"When you were born you met them!" Sean said in a deadpan voice. Dawn fell off her chair and Ash grumbled at the floor. Dawn quickly got back up.

"Why don't you take off your hood?" Dawn quickly said.

"My identity…" He blatantly replied.

"EVERYBODY FRIGGIN KNOWS THAT YOU WEAR THAT HOODIE!" Ash screamed out.

"Chill or you might turn into a super Volcano, I am pretty sure Dawn would prefer to date a popsicle than a hot fudge. If you know what I mean." Sean said in his ever present monotone.

Dawn's face invented a new shade of red as Ash sputtered, trying to form a coherent response to the witty remark.

Silence ensued…

"Anyways let's continue to the next question." Sean said ending the embarrassing silence.

Ash and Dawn regained their composure and continued.

"So how old was Cynthia when you beat her."

"22."

"Oh and one more question from me, what is Quantum Decoherence?"

"It's the loss of phase angles in the components of a system. It outlines the laws of Space Time."

"Yeah… I have no idea what that means…." Ash deadpanned.

"And I thought you would be smart…" Sean muttered so softly that only Dawn could hear it.

Dawn burst out into laughter.

"What's so funny sweetheart?" Ash questioned with a somber look on his face.

Dawn glanced at Sean and back at Ash, "Nothing sweetie, just remember something from before."

Sean snorted from under his hood and Ash glanced at him.

"Just clearing my nose…" He said blankly.

"Oh…." Ash nodded skeptically, "Anyways… How do we know we can trust you?"

"Call out Cresselia…" Sean said in his everpresent monotone.

"Wait how do you…"

"I said call her out!" Sean repeated.

"In a public area?"

"Its fine. Just do what I said."

Dawn removed the sparkling purple Pokeball and tossed it out.

"Mr. Pinto, it is very humbling to be in your presence…" Cresellia said bowing her head down to Sean.

"Cresselia, how many times do I have to tell you…. I am a friend not a king!" He said, "Please revert back into informal speech, as I prefer it."

"I apologise, Mr. Pinto."

Sean's sleeve, which was wrapped around his hand, facepalmed.

"Anyways, can you prove to these young children that they can trust me!"

"Don't worry Ms and Mr. Ketchum, he is perfectly trust worthy."

"More like Purrfectly trust worthy.. Wait you have to CAT be KITTEN me now! You two are married" Sean said blankly..

"We aren't married… yet…" Ash muttered causing Dawn to blush in a deep shade of crimsion.

"Anyways, meow your doing Cresselia. Wait, I need to stop the cat puns like right meow!"

"Great, Mr. Pinto. How are you?" she said in an angelic.

"I feel, dark, destructive, demonic, devilish, diarrhea, doom-like, dreadful, dead, dying, discouraged, demented, dystopiatic, disturbed, and despotic. But besides that I am doing good today." He said with a bored tone. Ash and Dawn's eyes widened as Cresselia merely chuckled

"Good to see you doing well, Mr. Pinto!" Cresselia continued with a low hum to her voice.

"Can you two stop…" Dawn said recalling Cresselia,

"Dawn, you know how Mega Latios, which was owned by Tobias, was evil. What if Cresselia was evil like that specific Latios?!" Ash whispered into Dawn's ear.

"NO… First of all, Pokemon are never evil. It is the trainer who makes them. Pokemon cannot have greed, darkness, or manipulative feelings. It is all the trainer!" Sean said, in his everpresent monotone, overhearing the conversation, "Cresselia also saved your friggin life and you still doubt her!"

Ash and Dawn could almost see the glare from underneath his hood. Suddenly a bright blue light shined from under his hood. After a few seconds he stopped ranting and the light faded.

It was eerie to say the least…

"I trust you, Sean." Dawn said quietly putting her hand on top of Ash's.

"Thank you…" He muttered.

"Well that makes on of us…" Ash muttered, "Wait, What do you plan on doing with us anyways."

"I plan on training both of you in strength."

Ash burst out laughing, "You… train me! I am many tmes stronger than you!" Ash boasted.

"You are stronger than me…" Sean got out of his seat and yelled, "Now you have gone and got my hopes up… I want a challenge… No… I NEED A CHALLENGE! We will fight after the meal."

Suddenly the waitress came back, with three massively stacked plates, prompting Sean to sit back down. Each plate was big… They were stacked extremely high with layers.

First there was raw apple slices at the bottom, on top was a salad followed by a steak. On top of the steak was pulled pork and on top of that was miso. Over that was arugla salad with paramason grated over it. Then on top their was another steak with a sunny-side egg on top. Finally followed by that was a chocolate cake with frosting and a cherry on top.

"WHY ON EARTH IS THIS SO BIG!" Dawn yelled in surprise.

"You told me Ash eats a lot… So I presumed…." Sean trailed off, "Anyways dig in, anything unfinished we will pack up to take on the road."

Ash and Sean vigorusly dove in finishing the plate in almost 5 and 3 minutes, respectfully.

"Damn it! How did you out speed me." Ash said.

"Lets just say, I was steak-a-fied!" Sean said in monotone.(A/N: Ok no more saying he is in monotone from now on I will just tell you guys if he isn't in monotone, otherwise he is always even when he yells..XD)

"That was terrible…."

They glanced over at dawn who was still eating the cake at the top.

"Hurry up Dawn!" Ash yelled.

"I can't eat anymore this is too much." She grumbled.

"Fine, let me call the waitress." Sean said.

A few minutes later Ash and Sean were at opposite sides of Castelia Garden and getting ready to battle.

"Wait Sean! You forgot to pay!" Dawn called out.

"No need, I own the restraunt, I bought it because then they can serve a ton of food to me for free!" he said.

Ash and Dawn dead-panned at the grown-mans statement. Ash got ready to fight.

"Do you want to do a Pokemon Battle first or a Keeper Battle?"

"What on earth is a Keeper Battle?" Ash asked.

"Basically an aura battle bettween two Aura Keepers."

"Oh… uh… Pokemon battle first."

"Alright." Sean said prompting Ash to toss out Damage.

Sean then threw out a Pokeball reveling a very very fast moving purple Pokemon. It was going so fast, it was almost impossible to see.

"Damage! Use flamethrower!"

The attack appeared to hit the Pokemon spot on; however, on closer inspection, Damage had hit the Pokemon's after image because it was moving so fast. Suddenly, the said Pokemon smashed into Damage knocking him out in one blow.

"I thought you were strong! I really hope you are strong in our Aura Keeper battle." Sean smirked.

The entire Pokemon battle consisted of Ash throwing out a Pokemon and it getting one-shotted by the Purple Pokemon. When the battle was over, Ash was glaring at Sean with sheer intensity.

"Now let us begin out Aura Keeper fight." Sean said.

Ash and he approched on opposite sides of the field. Sean stood still and motionless with his arms in his pocket. His hood remained on while he slouched backwards. Ash; however, was standing tall in a ready position.

"Begin!" Dawn called from the sidelines.

Ash charged up his fist with Aura and smashed it into Sean's hooded face. The impact would of normally broke concrete, unfortunately for Ash, the attack struck a sort of Aura shield which was less than a milimeter away from Sean's skin.

Sean, remained in that position; however, Ash started to glow with a red Aura that did not belong to him. When Ash's fist landed, Dawn was sure that Sean would of fainted, however when she saw Ash recoil screaming in pain with bloody knuckles, she could not help but wonder about the power the hooded man contained.

Ash's movement slowed because of the red aura and he appeared to become more tired with each step. He launched a Aura Sphere at Sean, which randomly stopped mid-air and hurled straight into the air with almost power almost tenfold from the original. Ash collapsed due to the sheer strain on his body from the red aura, causing Sean to snap out of his lazy and laid back stupor to go check on him. Ash was panting heavily and in no conditition to fight.

"The Match goes to Sean!" Dawn called out before running over to Ash's side.

"What did you do to him?!" She asked.

"I simply absorbed his Aura, don't worry it should refill in 2 to 3 hours." He continued calmly.

" I t-tru-s-st you S-Sean." Ash weakly muttered out before passing out.

Dawn gave a weak smile as Sean picked Ash up and carried him towards the Castelia City Pokemon Center, leaving Castelia Garden.


About 2 hours later, Ash woke up to the smell of Violets. Dawn was lying next to him on a hospital bed. In the corner, Sean was sleeping with his hood up. Ash crawled out of bed, careful to not wake Dawn. He walked over to Sean and shook him awake.

"Hey Sean, I want to talk to you privately."

"Sure. But never ever wake me up… I'll wake up on my own next time." He whispered.

The two men silently walked out of the room and entered the Hospital Cafe. They took a seat.

"I want you to do me a favor." Ash said.


1 Hour Later in Professor Oaks Lab

"RING RING RING RING RING RING PHONE CALL PHONE CALL." A computer rang. Gary Oak picked it up.

"Yeah hey Ash!"

For about 3 minutes they conversed and then Gary turned of the computer with a smile on his face.

"Hey Leaf, how would you like to go to Castelia City in the Unova Region." He said with a smirk.

"What is in it for me?" She countered.

"You can meet Ash and Dawn, also I heard they got together."

Leaf squealed in surprise before saying, "I'll meet you at the airport in 10 minutes. How long is the flight."

"About 50 to 60 minutes depending on wind pressure."

"Awesome" the girl said before leaving the lab.


1 HR Later Unova Region With Sean and Ash

"Ok, Ash, I got the stage ready? Is your friend coming?"

"Yeah he and my cousin."

"Cousin?"

"Yeah Leaf Green, she grew up with me like a sister. She is 18 years old."

"Oh…." he responded with confusion layered in his voice.

Suddenly Ash's face lit up and he started to jump up and down happily, "YOU SHOWED AN EMOTION! YOU SHOWED AN EMOTION!"

"I don't remark to such unintellegence." he stated blankly.

"Shut up, you showed an emotion."

"I didn't show an emotion I emulated an emotion." He said before stalking off.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the door to the room burst open.

"My my is that you Ashie-boy?" Gary questioned from the door.

Ash grit his teeth and replied with a grimice to his voice, "The one and only Mr. Gary I have ten badges out of eight Oak."

From behind Gary, Leaf burst into laughter.

"Its not funny!" Gary remarked.

"It is too Oak."

"NO IT ISN'T GREEN!"

"IT IS OAK!"

"Can you two shut up, I am trying to sleep." Sean called from the very back of the room where shadows covered him..

"Who are you?" Gary called back.

"He is the Pokemon Master, Sean." Ash said.

Gary and Leaf's eyes widened. Suddenly Gary got out a flashlight and shined it at Sean revealing a tall man lying down with his hoodie on. His hood remained on while he slept.

"OH MY ARCEUS! ITS YOU! I BECAME A POKEMON TRAINER BECAUSE OF YOU!" Gary screamed.

"If you don't stop yelling or shining that light on me, I will be forced to kill you."

"I am sorry Sean-sama."

"Sean is just fine."

"Yes Mr. Sean."

Sean let out a sigh before turning over so the light hit his back.

"Anyways… Dawn is upstairs sleeping. While we get everything ready, can you distract her, Leaf?"

"Sure" the girl said before running upstairs to greet her friend.

"Awesome."

Upstairs, Leaf shook Dawn awake.

"What is it Ash?" Dawn said lethargically.

"Its your friend, Leaf."

Suddenly Dawn snapped awake and noticed Leaf.

"HOLY SH*T, Its you Leaf?! B-b-but h-how?" She said quickly losing her lethargic demenor.

"It doesn't matter, get dressed I wanna check Castelia City out with you."

"What about Ash and Sean."

"Don't worry Gary and them are going to train I believe, not too sure, but it doesn't matter we can relax today!"

"Alright lets go."

Dawn entered the bathroom and quickly got dressed into her normal clothing. She and Leaf exited throught the back enterance so Dawn would not see what they were planning.

Meanwhile…

"Lets start practicing. Oh and Ketchum…"

"Yeah?"

"You owe me after this one."

"Nah I'll pack you back by getting Leaf and you together."

"I don't like her."

"Keep tellin' yourself that." He smirked.

"Just shut up you two." Sean said with a blank demenoir.


TIME SKIP 9:30 PM

"That was fun, I would love to do it again Leaf!" Dawn said.

The two had gone through Castelia shopping, eating, and playing video games inside the nintendo building.

"I have an idea of where we can go next!" Leaf said.

"Can we go to KFC!"

"Wait, what?!"

"KFC - Kentucky Fried Chicken!"

"Whats Kentucky?!"

"Oh… I heard Sean talk about it. I think he broke the fourth wall…"

"Uh… Anyways I want to go to this concert!"

"We have no money."

"We can get in for free!"

"NO Leaf, I know how much of a trickster you are. I refuse to sneak in by any manner."

"Its a free concert!"

"Oh… Well in that case lets go!"

"Awesome.


The two girls entered a concert hall to find it empty save for the red curtain at the theater stage.

"Where is everybody?" Dawn asked.

"One second." Leaf got on her phone and said, "She is here."

Suddenly the curtain opened to reveal Ash holding a guitar with a mic, Sean in the background(with his hood on) with his hand hovering over a piano, and Gary with Drums.

"Ash! What are you doing?" Dawn called out.

Ash ignored it and said, "This song goes out to the Dawn of my Day and the Diamond of the world."

Suddenly they started playing their respective instruments in harmony with Ash singing.


I'm just the boy inside the man, not exactly who you think I am

Trying to trace my steps back here again so many times

I'm just a speck inside your hand, you came and made me who I am

I remember where it all began so clearly


Ash was singing in a perfect tune and it sounded amazing. Sean was sitting there in his lazy stupor playing the piano while Gary was playing the drums with an obvious joyful mentality.


I feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way

And you create in me something I would've never seen

When I could only see the floor, you made my window a door

So when they say they don't believe, I hope that they see you in me

After all the lights go down, I'm just the words you are the sound

A strange type of chemistry, how you've become a part of me

And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire

You're the only one who knows who I really am.


Ash was pointing at Dawn with one hand while struming the guitar with one hand. The song was absolutely perfect with none of them making a mistake.


We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are.

We all wanna be somebody, we're willing to go but not that far.

And we're all see through, just like glass

And we can shatter just as fast

That light's been burned out for a while,

I still see it every time I pass

It was lost in the corners of my mind,

Behind a box of reasons why

I never doubted it was there,

It just took a little time to find and even when…


By now Dawn's eyes were littered with tears of joy while Leaf was smirking watching her friend breakdown. The things Ash was willing to do for her.


I feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way

And you create in me something I would've never seen

When I could only see the floor, you made my window a door

So when they say they don't believe I hope that they see you in me

After all the lights go down, I'm just the words you are the sound

A strange type of chemistry, how you've become a part of me

And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire

You're the only one who knows who I really am


Ash looking at Dawn with all intention in his heart. From underneath Sean's hood a small blue light was flickering, not that anyone noticed though.


We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are

We all wanna be somebody, we're willing to go but not that far

We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are

We all wanna be somebody, we're willing to go but not that far

I'm just the boy inside the man, not exactly who you think I am

Trying to trace my steps back here again so many times

When I could only see the floor, you made my window a door

So when they say they don't believe, I hope that they see you in me


Ash finished the song running up to Dawn. Her arms were wide open and her face was glistening with tears.

"Dawn you helped me be somebody. I don't know what I would be able to do without you."

"I love you Ash…"

"So do I."

The blue light underneath Sean's hood faded.
