With Damian at the Trainer's Village:

It was late at night, but people were still walking down the concrete walkways of the trainer's village. It was a large complex, but the stadium was closed for the day, it was probably in order to make sure that no one would go inside before the league began the next day. Anyways, Damian found himself going behind the stadium in a remote area where no one was. It was a dark alley way that the back of the stadium made with the other other side of one of the buildings. Damian looked at it and it was probably the pokemon center since there was a red pokeball on top which was common in most pokeballs. Damian looked down at his watch and through to himself, "Hey… Come on… where are they?"

"Damian?" Damian spun around to see a familiar face. It was actually the very same face that Damian knew from the last battle he had with Ash. The boy was one of Damian's closest goons, but the fact was that he was also registered to be one of the referees of the league. Damian knew he would want to take advantage of that, so he made sure he called him down.

"Rob… Dude, why did you take so long?" Damian asked the guy as he came closer.

"I was trying to find Nero, but I don't know where-"

"I'm here…" A boy said as he showed up behind Damian with crossed arms. The duo turned around to see who was talking to be met with a guy with a silver and red jacket. His undershirt was colored a dark bloody red and his hair was silver. The boy also had demonic red eyes as he bobbed a pokeball on his hand. "I had to get a pokeball from one of my associates over yonder in Castelia City."

"Unova?" Rob asked in shock as he looked at Nero.

Nero nodded, "Ye, Unova…" Nero then turned to Damian and said, "Some guy hooked me up with a pretty powerful Braviary. I am going to use him to get us to the top." Nero then looked at Rob and replied, "But you will help us get there I suppose…"

Rob nodded and looked at the two, "Yea, I am going to be allowing the use of illegal moves from your part, but we have to conceal it so that we don't get caught."

"Pppssshh," Damian said as he put his arm down. "There is no way that they will be able to talk back to referee." Damian then looked at Rob and said, "I am going to be using my Hydreigon to absolutely merk most people throughout the league, and I am definitely going to need some coverage if I have to resort to my secret weapon…" Damian then sighed, "No way that I am going to be defeated… and Nero, we will make it to the top together."

Not far away:

Night was walking alone through the Trainer's Village with a smile on his face and his hands on his pockets. "I hope Leaf and Hunter are taking care of Jolteon alright… I can't believe that Eevee was so eager to play with him," Night told this to himself as he looked down and smiled as he then noticed the last person on the street go around the corner and into the pokemon center. "Welp, I am alone, I wonder what I can do…"

Night then turned around and looked at the skyline of Lumiose City with a smile. He thought it felt nice to not be called out for being the champion of the Soul stadium all the time. Regions like Tunod and even sometimes Johto would be where he is best known next to the archipelago he lives in.

Night suddenly felt a flash of light appear next to him and he turned almost immediately to see what it was. "Dueye…" A turquoise hooded owl shaped pokemon said as he looked at Night and then turned to look around the area.

"Huh? Decidueye, why are you out of your pokeball?" Night asked as he looked closer at the hooded owl.

"Dueye…" The grass and ghost type grunted as he pulled a vine string of his hoodie up and above his head and made a bow arc shape. Suddenly, Decidueye spawned in a purple arrow and launched it in the direction of a corner that was between the stadium and the pokemon center. Night looked at his pokemon and nodded as the two then began to approach the gap.

Night then reached the arrow and it dissipated into nothing as Night then shifted his gaze into the alley. Seeing that there was three people talking there, Night spoke up, "Hey! What is going on here?"

The three boys turned around and gritted their teeth at the sight of Night and then began to scramble out in the other direction and out the alley way. Night turned to Decidueye and nodded as the duo began to run towards the direction of the three boys. Suddenly, as they reached the opening they saw a large crowd of people roaming the streets and obviously the three people gone. Night then turned to Decidueye and said, "Look for them, report if you see them to me…"

"Dueye…" Decidueye nodded as he then flapped his wings behind Night and flew to the top of the alley way and over the stadium.

Night looked down at ground and asked himself: "What is going on here?"

A/N: Conspiracy going on already? Dang!

I wonder what is the intention of Damian and my two new OCs Rob and Nero…? I don't like the sound of this xD!

Anyways, today we get introduced to another very interesting character that is not an evil person. Yes, she is important to helping the story grow. Maybe I kind of adopted the idea from one of my favorite fics written by Nexxus… But I assure you guys that I will make sure that this will be symbolic. Remember that this person will also be special to Ash… but someone else will find her very special too… and remember one more thing too: Remember how Ash is a mashup of two characters? Can you use this to guess who this character is?

Anyways, this will be an interesting chapter that will foreshadow some future events. Also, I hope that Decidueye will look stealthy in this for you guys. He is an awesome pokemon in my opinion. Have you guys ever ran a Decidueye with assault vest before? He can get just as tanky as a hydration and rain dance Goodra! I can take around two ice beams or flamethrowers or maybe even one blizzard or fire blast without getting to a dangerous level of health. And with sucker punch, I can clean up shop easily against some low health opponents. I even destroyed a Gengar using this strategy! Take a sludge bomb, use spirit shackle, use sucker punch… GG!

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon

Disclaimer 2: Well… Let's say Diantha gets involved in a sexy situation… OK, I really wanted some eye candy, but maybe this will foreshadow the future of the entire fic.

Chapter 30- Lonely girl, but hopeful future!

With Ash and the gang:

"Wow there are so many stands with food and games!" Ash exclaimed with glistening eyes as he looked around the hexagonal shaped complex. He was in one of the large walkways for people to walk around that wrapped around the giant hexagonal shaped stadium. "I can barely wait to be able to go around and take advantage of all of these things!"

"Pika pika!"

"I say we eat out instead of me making food," Brock replied as he looked at some of the food stands that were ran by beautiful woman. "I want to ask some of those girls out!"

"Oh goodness me Brock," Serena replied with a snicker as she looked at the tanned man. Serena then whispered something that Brock still heard: "I wish a certain someone were just as pushy as that on me."

Brock inched closer to Serena and smirked as he whispered into Serena's ear, "Ash I suppose?" Serena instantly tensed up and felt her face get red as Brock's grin widened and he whispered: "Gotcha 'Mrs. Ketchum'." Serena instantly sighed at this and looked down with a large blush in her face. Brock moved back to be next to Clemont, but Bonnie came closer to Serena also smirking.

"Looks like someone else found out," Bonnie replied with a smile.

"Bonnie, dang it!" Serena whispered loudly as she picked up the pace and began to lead the group through the walkway. "Hey guys! How about we get our room key from the pokemon center up ahead so that we don't get left out without a room at the hotel they have here?"

"That sounds like a good idea Serena," Clemont remarked as he looked to his right to see the building with the large pokeball on it. "It would be beneficial for us to go check with Nurse Joy for the next available rooms, we could get them next to each other so that we would not need to walk throughout the entire complex."

"Clemont, you designed this place right?" Brock asked the lemon haired boy. "What is the arrangement for the entire complex?"

"Well," Clemont started as he raised a finger up to his glasses and adjusted the glare, "The stadium is in the middle of the hexagonal shaped complex. There is a slight slant due to the hill, but it really does make things work as we dug into the hill." Clemont then pointed to the pokemon center. "This pokemon center is at the back of the stadium, which would be the tallest point in the entire hill." Clemont then looked at the walkway which had many benches and street lamps that illuminated the street. People were walking down left and right trying to get to places and Clemont smiled, "The walkways are designed to loop around the stadium. We tried to keep them at close proximity and at a simple shape so that there is no confusion as to where to go."

"Wow Clemont," Ash said as he turned to the pokemon center. "This surely looks like it took a good amount of time to build."

"It did, two years to be exact," Clemont explained. "Up until last year, it was not even in a large city and it was called the Grand Conference…" Clemont then laughed. "They did feel like they needed to change the place though, so they gave Lumiose City the new privilege to host these tournaments."

"Big brother with his storytelling," Bonnie joked as she ran into the pokemon center. "We need to get settled then, come on!"

The group then walked into the pokemon center to find the lobby packed with trainers and their pokemon. Ash looked to his left and in the distance saw Calem standing there with Chesnaught. Ash looked at Calem and the jet black haired trainer met the raven haired trainer's gaze and nodded with a smile. Ash did the same and then Serena grabbed Ash's attention.

"Ash, I think participants get three free rooms," Serena said as she pulled on Ash's scarf. Ash then looked at the sign that said that participants can get two extra rooms for his guests. Ash smiled, as that was convenient.

"Sure, let's go talk with Nurse Joy," Ash said as he walked to the nurse that was handling the counter. Nurse Joy smiled as Ash closed in on her. "Hey Nurse Joy, I was wondering if we could have three free rooms please."

Nurse Joy smiled, "Sure thing Ash." Nurse Joy then reached down into the counted and pulled out three keys. "These keys are for rooms 300, 301, and 302 on the trainer's hotel that is on the southwest point of the village."

Ash smiled and looked at the keys in his hand, "Thanks so much, it really will be convenient."

"No problem," Nurse Joy replied with a smile. "Have a nice day!" With that, the group exited the pokemon center and began to make their way to the southwestern most part of the village. Up ahead the group saw the hotel as it towered over the village.

"There it is!" Ash said as he pointed. "Let's hurry up so we can go out to eat!"

"Right!" The others exclaimed in unison.

With Professor Sycamore:

Professor Sycamore was walking around the trainer's village on the east side in the direction of the south. The professor then saw as a shadow flew through him making him look up at the buildings.

"Professor look!" A feminine voice exclaimed as Sycamore looked in the direction that was signaled. Professor Sycamore grew wide eyed as he saw that there was a hooded owl like blue pokemon staring down at the village in the night sky. Under the hood, two red eyes beamed and then the owl flew into another building. "That was so cool, what do you think Chespie?"

"Ches chespin!" A Chespin exclaimed.

Professor Sycamore looked down at the girl he was with. She was in a mostly green attire and had a cute green hat. She had pale skin and red hair that dangled in her face. Professor Sycamore remembered that she was seven years old and had strong amounts of depression bottled up inside of her. Professor Sycamore didn't know much of the details, but they include a fire…

Sycamore shook his head and smiled at the girl who had been showing life. Ever since Sycamore met her after the crisis, he had brought her back to life by bringing her close to Chespie, her Chespin. The girl was excited to finally go on an adventure and put everything behind her as she would be able to travel and do things, but there was one problem: Sycamore could not find someone to take care of her. He had to work on the lab and if she were to go on a journey she would be too young to be on her own.

"Hey Mairin," Professor Sycamore said making the girl turn to him. "How about we go get something to eat so that we can start watching the league together tomorrow!"

The girl, who was called Mairin looked at Professor Sycamore with bright eyes and smiled, "I can't wait to start seeing the battles! There are so many strong trainers!" Mairin then recalled something. "There is even this one guy that I heard is participating that jumped off of Prism Tower and had a pokemon capable of taking down a Darkrai!"

Professor Sycamore then smiled, "I know for a fact he will participate, in fact, I know he will probably do really well!"

"Wow really?!" Mairin asked with excitement before turning to Cheapie. "Hear that Chespie? That guy is participating!"

"Ches Chespin!" Chespin cried with excitement.

With Diantha (This is a nosebleeding part, so if you do not wish to get into sexy things then skip ahead):

"Alright… we are close to being started tomorrow," Diantha announced as she looked out of the window of her suite towards the hexagonal shaped stadium. Diantha then heard a knock on the door. Diantha wondered who it was as she passed through the golden carpet and passed her large king sized bed to reach the door.

Diantha then grabbed the handle and turned the knob to then be surprised at who was in the door across from her. Diantha smiled and said, "Why hello there Lysandre."

The man with the orange mane in his appearance and a black suit smiled and replied with, "Hello there Diantha, I came here to discuss some of the preparations for the pokemon league."

"Sure… come in," Diantha replied as she looked at the man and signaled for him to get in. Diantha then noticed as Lysandre put a piece of paper on his back pocket which made Diantha get suspicious. "So what did you come here to discuss?"

"I actually came to discuss the fact that my personnel should be able to take some of the VIP spots of the Kalos League," Lysandre said seriously as he stared out the same window that Diantha was staring out of before. "I have been granted that access, but I also have some personnel which deserve their places."

"Personnel?" Diantha asked herself as she thought. Diantha then turned to Lysandre and asked, "Who would you like to include?"

"I only really need my colleague Xerocic to have a spot," Lysandre said with his hands behind his back. "I want him to be there watching some of the battles, probably the more important ones."

Diantha could not stop looking at the slip of paper on Lysandre's back pocket, but then turned to Lysandre and said, "As you wish Lysandre."

Lysandre then turned to Diantha and said, "I thank you very much Diantha… You know?" Lysandre then stopped and said, "Things in this world should be kept beautiful… This world should be kept beautiful." Lysandre then began to approach Diantha in a way that made her back up slowly. Lysandre smirked at this as Diantha hit the door behind her. "You know Diantha," Lysandre said as he put a hand on her cheek. "I wonder if you would be alright with giving me a moment?"

"Huh?" Diantha asked nervously as Lysandre leaned in and sealed the gap between the lips. Diantha went wide eyed to see Lysandre kissing her, but Diantha then saw her big chance to find out what that paper was about. With that, Diantha closed her eyes and leaned into the kiss completely kissing back. Lysandre seemed to get hungry as he added depth into the embrace with his tongue. Diantha did the same and the tongues battled for dominance inside their mouths. Diantha then reached for the back pocket and grabbed the piece of paper as she maintained the control of her lips on Lysandre's wet mouth. Diantha then slowly slipped the paper into her pocket as she parted the kiss with Lysandre.

Lysandre looked satisfied as he opened the door, "I guess I will be going then."

Diantha bowed to show her respect as she let Lysandre leave the suite. Diantha then closed the door behind Lysandre and with that she looked into her pocket and took out the slip of paper.

As she read the first line she went wide eyed…

"Team Flare…" Diantha said to herself in shock.

With Ash at the hotel:

"So it would have to be the third floor," Clemont remarked as he looked at the keys… "Oh goodness me I was not expecting us to get good rooms already!"

"What do you mean by good rooms?" Brock asked. The elevator began to move upwards and Clemont adjusted his glasses.

"Participants get access to good rooms, and this is the hotel with the nicer suites," Clemont replied as the elevator came to a stop.

"Hey Clemont, are those our rooms right there?" Ash asked as he looked at the three doors numbered after the keys in front of him. The elevator opened up to a small circular area and in front of him to the left was 300, then in the center was 301, and at the end there was 302 in the right. They were the only rooms in the floor.

"I guess so," Serena replied as she walked off the elevator and towards the doors. "How should we divide ourselves?"

Brock turned to Ash and said, "Ash, you take a room for yourself."

"Huh?"

Clemont then turned to Ash and said, "Take 300, you and your pokemon could reflect there with some privacy and room to think."

"Pika…"

"Guys…" Ash replied. "Thanks." Ash then turned to the room with the 300 on it and used the key to open the door. "Wow, it looks amazing from here!"

"I want to sleep with Serena," Bonnie said as she hugged the honey blonde.

"Alright Bonnie," Serena replied as she returned the embrace.

"Alright then, Clemont and I will take 302 then," Brock said as he turned the key to his own room.

The trainers stepped into their rooms to be met with a large complex with two beds in the middle of the room and a small kitchen. There was a window that looked out to the stadium and Ash ran up to it with Pikachu to look out. Ash then noticed the stadium and smiled as he knew that was where his battles would be. Ash then looked around and noticed a video phone and even a television set. Ash then turned to Pikachu and said as he jumped on the bed closest to the door, "I will take this bed!"

"Pika pika!" Pikachu shouted as he jumped on his own bed next to Ash.

This was obviously going to be a great place for Ash to relax during the league.

"Hey Ash!" A feminine voice interrupted the raven haired boy from his thoughts. Ash turned on his bed to see the honey blonde girl standing outside his door while shouting. "Let's go eat!"

"Alright Serena, get the others!" Ash exclaimed as he jumped out of bed. "Let's go Pikachu!"

"Pika!" Pikachu exclaimed as he jumped on Ash's shoulder and went out the door.

The group went down the elevator and reached the outside of the hotel to then walk into the walkway where people were walking and talking in the night sky. It really was an enjoyable scene for the group to see people having fun with their pokemon.

"Ash!" Bonnie shouted as she pointed towards a stand with an apparent quiz on it. "Want to play that game?"

"Sure Bonnie, you can help me with it too!" Ash exclaimed as the duo then walked up to the game stand that had an attendant on it. Brock, Clemont and Serena then walked up next to Ash and Bonnie to see what was going on. The stand was titled "Things Every Pokemon Battler Should Know!". Ash looked to see that there was an attendant and Ash smiled as he looked at him. "Hey, I was wondering if I could play with my friend Bonnie here." Ash said as he pointed to Bonnie.

"Yea! I want to become a pokemon trainer when I am old enough to!" Bonnie exclaimed with a hyped up voice. Everyone else smiled and giggled at this while Bonnie blushed and said, "I guess it slipped."

"No problem, the instructions are simple, answer these questions and you will get a prize! If you get all of them right you can get free tickets for your entire group to go eat at PikaPizza right across from here," the attendant replied as he signaled to another stand that had many table in front and a large amount of people sitting and eating Pikachu faced Pizza.

"Awesome!" Ash exclaimed with glistening eyes. "Pikachu pizza." Ash then turned back to the attendant and exclaimed. "Give me your worst!"

The attendant smiled and replied with, "You only have to answer these five questions correctly, and since you are playing with Bonnie, the other three or that Pikachu can't help." Ash then shrugged his shoulders at Serena, Clemont and Brock who had some disappointed faces. "But, let's let the game begin!"

"Alright!"

"Let's start it easy," the attendant replied as he took out a remote on his hands and clicked on a button that made a monitor come down from the ceiling. The attendant then read the question that appeared: "Electric type moves have no effect on what typing?"

"Ooh ooh ooh I know!" Bonnie shouted as she jumped around. Ash and the clerk looked at Bonnie and the lemon haired girl replied with: "Ground."

"Well done Bonnie," the attendant said with a smile. "Next question." The clerk then switched up the question with the remote and read, "Is blast burn a physical, or special move?"

"Special," Bonnie replied with a shrug of shoulders. "Everyone knew that!"

The others stared at Bonnie with shocked expressions as the clerk praised Bonnie and switched up the question once more. The clerk then said, "Things may get a little harder now, so…" the attendant then read the question. "Dig is a move that makes you go underground for some time, but what is the way that you can make a pokemon get out of it?"

Bonnie just sighed, "you can expel a pokemon from underground by somehow shaking the earth… Using earthquake works, but sometimes if you are more creative like Ash here," Bonnie smirked as she pointed at Ash. "You can use iron tail on the battlefield and cause the same effect."

Clemont sighed knowing where the reference came from as Ash giggled while pointing at Bonnie and putting a finger up to his brain to show that she was probably very smart. The attendant nodded as Bonnie then turned to Ash and said, "I am leaving the last two questions up to you, Ash."

"Alright then," the attendant said as he signaled to Ash and read the next question. "If a water pulse was launched into the sky at approximately 45 degrees at a speed of 9.8 meters per second in the vertical component, how long would it take the water pulse to reach its target and what would be the final velocity of the water pulse… Pretend there is no air resistance."

Everyone looked at Ash with wide eyes knowing there was no way that the raven haired boy would be that intelligent…

"hmmm…" Ash wondered really fast as Bonnie shot a glare at Ash and Ash smiled with a hearty laugh. "Come on guys, you might not know it, but I can make these calculations very fast… I'm a battler of all things." Ash then looked at the clerk and said, "The arc is symmetrical and since the acceleration due to gravity would be exactly 9.8 meters per second squared, then it would take one second for the water pulse to reach its highest point, which meant the target would be hit in two seconds, and the final velocity is equal to the initial velocity, so we have to look at the sine of 45 and do 9.8 divided by the sine of 45… so the answer is exactly 9.8/sin45 which comes out to be approximately…" Ash then put his finger on his chin as he did the calculation by brain and said: "13.86 meters per second."

The clerk looked stunned by the answer as he responded: "correct…" The attendant then flashed the last question and said, "Now tell me Ash, if you ever battled against an Aegislash, what would be its weak spot?"

"Weak spot?" Ash wondered deep in thought as he thought about the anatomy of an Aegislash. "That's it!" Ash then smirked and said, "Since Aegislash cannot use king's shield in its attack form, one would need to prevent it from moving… so getting the sword stuck in between both shield and blade form would make it a sitting duck!"

"C-correct," the clerk replied as the stand then gave off streamers.

"Ash that was amazing!" Bonnie cheered.

"Pika pika!"

"Oh man," Ash replied as he rubbed the back of his head and looked at Clemont who looked like Ash had just aced physics easier than him. "Did I do alright Clemont?"

"That was…" Clemont started as he adjusted his glasses and smirked. "The most extraordinary thing I have ever seen you say, Ash."

"Well now we have a genius in the house…" Brock teased.

"Pppssshh," Serena teased while putting her hand down as she scooted next to Ash and said to him. "Think you're so smart? Tell me what is 1/(b-a) (F(a) - F(b))," Serena quizzed the raven haired boy.

"Uhhhh…"

"What is the Mean Value Theorem?" Serena joked as she put her hands behind her back. "Anyways Ash, that solving of two dimensional kinematics was impressive," Serena replied with a wink.

"Anyways," the attendant said with a smile as he handed Bonnie the tickets. "Enjoy yourselves some free PikaPizza!"

"Thanks so much!" Everyone in the gang replied.

And who would complain… It was the best pizza Ash had ever tasted on his life!

With Night:

"Decidueye…" Decidueye said as he landed next to Night.

"Alright Decidueye, we will find them some other time," Night replied as he recalled his hooded owl. Night then looked on at the walkway and said, "I don't like this… not one bit…"

A/N: Mairin? Underlying plot? Ash can do physics and Serena can do calculus? What the hell is going on here?

Wait…

LYSANDRE AND DIANTHA KISSED?!

Yes… huge plot twist I know… but this is all probably needed for the future, except maybe the physics and calculus… that was just to add some color to the characters.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed! And thank you guys so much for so many views and reviews, I am just so tired today that I didn't respond, but know I still read what you guys say and I will respond next time!
