At the alley way:
Damian was standing there with his arms crossed waiting for someone as he looked up at the night sky over him. It was something that he was not expecting as he looked onto the side of the alley seeing a person with a cloaked owl like pokemon and a Jolteon standing at the other side. "Up to no good once again?" The other teenager asked as he began to walk towards Damian.
Damian grabbed a pokeball from him belt with slight intimidation as he watched the person approach him, "Step back, or I will use my force against you," Damian hissed with a clearly menacing voice that was trying to make the teenager feel threatened as he threw the pokeball in front of him.
The pokeball flashed light as it summoned a large dark and dragon type with three heads that resembled a hydra. The boy did not flinch as the large dragon made his battle cry which echoed through the alley and could be heard throughout the entire hexagonal stadium area. "DREIGON!" Hydreigon cried as he charged up a dragon shaped beam and launched it towards the other boy with the shape of a dragon threatening to engulf the trio ahead of Damian.
"Decidueye slay the dragon with spirit shackle!" The boy in a blue attire called out as he put his arm out. Damian could barely react as he witnessed the hooded owl launch a purple arrow from his vines towards the dragon and cause an explosion which made Damian flinch as the smoke covered him. Damian then looked on in shock as he intimidatingly recalled Hydreigon back to its pokeball.
"What was that all about?" Damian asked as he put the pokeball back in his belt only to look up and see a bolt of dark blue lightning tear across the sky with a large crackle of thunder which made Damian look up with narrowed eyes.
"Damian?" Damian turned around to see Rob walking towards him with a confused look on his face. "I heard the explosion, what happened?"
"Some guy," Damian said with a smirk as he looked onto Rob. "You have the things I ordered, right?"
"Yes," Rob responded as he reached into his pocket and pulled out two stones. It was a blue stone with a DNA symbol on it along with a small stone that Damian reached for and put it on his pocket. Rob smirked as he then handed the blue stone towards Damian, the latter smiling even brighter. "You will beat that pipsqueak like always, right Damian?"
"Of course," Damian said as he turned his back on Rob and began to walk away. "With you being the referee, there is no way that I will lose." At this Damian disappeared into the darkness of the night in front of him while Rob turned and began to walk the other way.
Rob smirked a little as he remembered the plan: Allow illegal attacks against Ash.
It was simple, Rob knew very well what Damian's team was, he knew that Damian would want the advantage in order to win the battle. For that, the two had planned to know beforehand which battlefields were to be used for the battle. Rob walked down towards the side of the stadium, looked both ways, and noticed the entrance to the stadium. Looking both ways and noticing the coast was clear, Rob snuck himself into the hexagonal event center.
"OK, now where is it?" Rob asked as he walked through the hexagonal hallways of the stadium. There, Rob walked deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness of the dimly lit stadium hallways to find an obscure door leading towards the controls for the battlefields. "Bingo!"
Rob walked in to find the controls completely lacking security. With that, he looked on to see a carousel of battlefields on a track. Looking up the carousel, he noticed that the arena where both dugouts would be joined by a battlefield.
Right now, it was set to an ice battlefield, meaning that the first match of the quarter finals would be using the ice field for the first half. Rob took his time to walk around the tracks and counting the battlefields that were in order until he reached the fifth and sixth. "Damian will have the third match, this means that the fifth and sixth will be the battlefields for the match."
Rob then looked at the two fields and narrowed his eyes. "A forest and a dessert…" Rob then smirked. "I gotta tell Damian, this will be easier than ever for him to win." Rob then turned around to walk towards the door. Going through, Rob opened and closed the door to then begin to walk away.
But:
As soon as the door closed, the same black a blue attired teenager was waiting on the other side of the door: Right leg on the wall of the hallway while looking down right in front of him. The Jolteon was there, he was growling in the direction that Rob went.
"So, he thinks that playing it this way is how you win a battle," the boy said as he stepped into the hallway. He then looked up with a serious face towards the way that Rob went and narrowed his eyes while he had his hands in his pockets. "I don't want to be involved in shenanigans that have to do with the league, but if I have to intervene, so be it."
"Jolteon!"
"Alright Jolteon, let's get ready for another day," The boy said looking down at his spiky electric type, who nodded at the proposal. Both trainer and pokemon then began to walk away from the direction Rob came from.
A/N: So we now know that it will be Ash against Damian in the quarter finals of the Kalos League. Keep in mind that Damian is not planning in holding back, and he definitely wants to ultimately embarrass Ash in front of everyone.
Tough battle, there is a lot at stake, but if I have to say something about the matchup, why say it here when I say it at the end of the chapter? Yup, another Ash and Night encounter, let's see what happens.
Anyways, I have nothing more to say, see you at the bottom:

Chapter 42- Taking A Stand!
Ash's room that morning:
Ash and Pikachu were smiling at each other as the duo walked towards Brock's room. "Brock?" Ash asked as he knocked. Hearing no response, Ash opened the door to have his mouth hang agape: Clemont and Brock were on the ground covered in soot groaning. "Guys! What happened?"
"He… Did…" Brock said lethargically as he pointed at Clemont with a shaking hand before collapsing.
Clemont breathed smoke as he adjusted his glasses: "If I only set the machine to the correct settings."
"Pika…"
"Clemont! Squishy is-" Bonnie popped in through the door and instantly put her hands on her hips with a scolding attitude. "Clemont, I told you not to blow up any inventions here! Room service will have a hard time cleaning and they will charge us so much!"
"Nenne!" Dennene said with a similar attitude to her trainer.
Serena at that moment came up behind the lemon haired girl only to sweat drop at the sight in front of her and a shrugging Ash. "Uhhh… Well, guys, I think we should go get some breakfast."
As if on queue, Ash's stomach began to make a large growling noise that everyone knew instantly, was him. Everyone laughed at that as Ash sighed, "I think my stomach agrees with Serena, I think it is settled then!" At that, Ash and Pikachu burst out the door and headed towards the elevator with Ash yelling towards the others, "Come on! I am starving!"
"And you better not invent anything else," Bonnie said as she carried her two pokemon out and towards the elevator with Ash as Serena walked behind her. Brock got up and shook of the soot to then follow the others, but Clemont remained motionless on the ground.
"Wait, for me!" Clemont replied as he shook off his soot and followed the group out the door.
At the walkway with Mairin:
"Look Chespie!" Mairin said as she held her Chespin close to her chest. The red haired girl was walking through the block to find a stand that had some Chespin figurines being sold for a couple Kaleuros. "Wow, they are amazing, Chespie, do you like the one that looks like you?" Mairin asked as she eyed the figurines closely. One clearly resembled the Chespin she had close to her.
"Ches Chespin!" Chespie cried with excitement as he jumped down from Mairin's hands and began to run off into the crowd of people swarming the plaza.
"Wait, Chespie!" Mairin called out as she ran off after her beloved Chespie. She had remembered when she first received the pokemon from Professor Sycamore, it was one of the most amazing choices in her life when she chose Chespie to be her partner, she could still remember the moment that Chespie nodded to her in agreement with a sense of adventure. "Huh?" Mairin asked as she noticed a boy with blue hair and dark sunglasses on his head. At the same time, Mairin saw how he was talking with someone of red hair and a black suit. The woman had a crew of camera men that were filming as the woman held a microphone up to the boy's mouth.
"Well," Damian's voice could be heard as he smirked and looked on into the microphone. "Tomorrow I will completely blow him out of the park, that is what my plan is. After that, I am going to win the league." Damian was then thanked by the interviewer to then bump into Mairin and send her rolling into the ground.
"Ches… PIN!" Chespie shouted as he quickly reacted and shot his vines out to grab the falling red head. As soon as Chespie got ahold of Mairin's torso, he balanced her on the ground to make it so that she was not falling anymore. "Ches pin pin ches ches pin!" Chespie cried with irritation towards Damian, who looked like he gave no care to Mairin.
"Get out of my way," Damian said as he walked past the duo with a sense of annoyance towards the girl that was in front of him. Damian then walked past the crowd and Mairin grabbed ahold of Chespie with her arms.
"If only someone would stand up to him," Mairin said as she narrowed her eyes. "Bullies like them deserve nothing after everything they do."
With Ash and the others:
"Ash, are you gonna use Ash-Greninja yet?" Bonnie asked eagerly as she sat across from Ash, who was sitting in between Brock and Clemont. Serena, who was next to Bonnie, sighed as she smiled at the little girl.
"Ash may use him, but it might be best to let him decide," The honey blonde haired girl said as she looked at Ash and smiled shyly.
"Not yet Bonnie," Ash said with a wink as he then felt his hand beneath the table and put a hand over his keystone to feel the circumference of the stone, "I think it is time someone got his ultimate battle," Ash muttered under his breath as he looked over at Bonnie, who clearly did not hear what Ash said.
"Aww…. No fair," Bonnie pouted as she grabbed a mouthful of sushi with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth while pouting.
"Anyways, are you excited for the battle tomorrow, Ash?" Clemont asked nervously as he looked at the raven haired trainer and his electric rodent. "You said that up until now, you have not been able to defeat Damian in battle."
Ash smiled under his scarf and then looked at Clemont with narrowed eyes while saying, "This time, things will be different." Ash then looked at his hand and crumpled it into a fist: "I am going to finally prove to him that I have everything it takes." Ash then looked towards Pikachu and said: "Isn't that right Pikachu?"
"Pika!" Pikachu cooed as he snuggled with his trainer for a little bit, which Ash enjoyed.
"What's gonna be your strategy, Ash?" Brock asked curiously as he took a sip from his drink. The black haired trainer was very confused as to what Ash would attempt, specially when there was no other different strategy he could use with just using the same six pokemon in every battle.
Ash just sighed as he closed his fists and sighed, he did not really know what he would do. He knew that up until now, he had nothing on Damian, and it was clear to him that this battle would probably end the same way. Ash just stammered with his words: "N-Nothing, I am probably going to have to make a new one if I am going to win this battle."
Serena and Brock found this answer odd as they exchanged a nervous glance. They both knew first hand how much of a burden Ash had with Damian, and it was clear that they knew that Ash would have to use everything he had if he was to win. It was clearly a very tight spot for Ash, and Ash felt nervous about it as well as he felt an electric shock from Pikachu touch his cheek, "Pika?" Pikachu asked in slight worry.
"Huh? Oh, it is nothing Pikachu," Ash said as he faked a smile and hugged Pikachu close to his chest.
Serena still did not feel very comfortable with how Ash was behaving, because she knew her crush was hiding something. Clearly, something was off with Ash, and she felt that maybe it had to do with Damian possible winning. "Guys, how about we go play some games around the plaza, it would be very fun," Serena suggested as she tried to get Ash's mind out of Damian.
"Yea, it sounds like fun!" Bonnie chanted as she stood up from her chair. "Come on guys!" Bonnie shouted as she dragged Clemont out of his seat and towards some of the stands. Clemont gasped as he felt himself being dragged by a strong force.
"Wait for me," Brock said as he came up behind the duo.
Serena began to get up, but she then stopped in her tracks and looked out of the corner of his eye, "Ash, you coming?" Serena asked as she felt Pikachu get on her shoulder. "The others are wanting you to defeat the quiz again."
"Huh?" Ash was snapped out of his own thoughts to see Serena looking at him from the side. "Oh, yea, I am coming," Ash replied as he felt his heart beat a little from talking on his own to Serena. He was nervous, he had to admit it, but he still felt more nervous as he talked to the girl in front of him that was now walking towards the others with a bright smile that Ash could tell contained many powerful emotions. Deciding it was best to go with him, Ash got up and walked towards the others who were waiting for him patiently.
With Professor Sycamore:
"Diantha," Professor Sycamore said as he approached the Kalos champion from behind. "What do you think about the battles?"
Turning around, Diantha saw as Professor Sycamore had just came up from behind her in the trainer lounge disclosed from the public. Seeing this, Diantha smiled as she said: "They have been interesting, already see a potential winner though."
"Satoshi?" Professor Sycamore asked knowingly. At this Diantha nodded as Professor Sycamore sighed, "You might be right, but I don't think some trainers here will go down without a fight. Specially some of the ones you have been keeping a close eye on."
"You might be right Augustine," Diantha replied as she looked out a window that portrayed a view of the hexagonal stadium and the arena below. "As of now, we have to keep everyone safe, we must avoid any possible threat coming to be a menace for us."
"What are you talking about?" Professor Sycamore asked curiously only to hear a new voice behind him.
"Team Flare."
Professor Sycamore turned around to see the spiky haired trainer with his Jolteon standing there with an alarmed expression. "You must be Night," Professor Sycamore said with a genuine smile as he shook Night's hand. "It is an honor to meet you, but what is Team Flare up to?"
"I don't know," Diantha said with a worried expression. "But I do know that we need to keep an eye out… Lysandre is their ring master."
"Lysandre?" Professor Sycamore asked in an alarmed expression. "How can you be so sure?"
Diantha froze a little, but at the thought she took the piece of paper she took from Lysandre that night. In it, she showed Professor Sycamore about plans to act a siege on the league.
"Are you sure that this is legitimate?" Professor Sycamore asked as Night looked over his shoulder.
"I already encountered Lysandre, I can tell you that he is definitely up to something," Night replied as he crossed his arms. "It seems as if he is waiting for the perfect time to strike, the moment everyone is the most vulnerable."
"Night is right," Diantha said as she put a hand to her chin. "If they are up to something, we have to keep the entire place protected." Diantha then smiled as she looked at Night and Professor Sycamore. "The good thing is that we have two champions ready to stop anything from happening!"
"That's right," Night agreed as he turned to Professor Sycamore. "Professor, are you also willing to lend us a hand?"
"I will do what I can," Professor Sycamore said genuinely. Suddenly, the black haired man in a lab coat turned around and went out the door while saying: "I have to go check on Mairin, I left her to wander around unsupervised, I am afraid that she got herself into some trouble." Professor Sycamore then waved as he began to walk away from the duo who was now standing next to each other with Jolteon sitting under Night.
"Diantha, I will keep a look out as well, something else has had my attention for a while as well," Night said as he began to walk away towards the door with Jolteon following close behind. "Also…" Night turned around and put a slightly grossed out face: "Why did you make out with him?"
Diantha chuckled nervously as she turned her way with the keystone on her necklace interacting with the light and causing it to gleam. "I actually did not plan to, but it was the opportunity for me to find the reason he was asking to spectate the league matches." Diantha then put a hand to her chin, "He is probably very interested in one of the challengers."
"I will keep that into account," Night declared as he and Jolteon walked out the door after his salutations. Diantha then stood with a pensive tone, one thought running through her mind: 'Why is Lysandre here?'
With Ash and the others:
Ash had ultimately crushed the ring toss game. It was "luck" was all the raven haired trainer claimed as he buried his mouth into his scarf. It was something that Serena found extremely adorable, regardless, Serena still found the raven haired trainer seeming to be "off" his usual attitude, like he was feeling uneasy about something. Every so often, Serena would catch Ash spacing out, and at worst times, Pikachu would give a light voltage shock just to get him to snap out of it.
"Ash, be careful, you could trip," Brock warned as he looked at the way that the blue jacket wearing boy was moving around in a manner that resembled a zombie. The others also found it extremely awkward, but Ash looked up with his brown eyes flashing from the gleam of the sun.
"Huh?" Ash questioned as he looked ahead. "O-oh, yea, I will Brock, don't worry."
Ash still felt uneasy, but that was something that was about to change:
"Hey look!" Bonnie pointed out. "Isn't that Damian right there?" Everyone turned their heads to a monitor that displayed Malva with Damian next to him. Malva was asking Damian questions and the latter responded. Moving closer, the gang began to get an earful of what was being said throughout the interview.
"So Damian, are you confident on your battle against Ash which is coming up?" Malva asked as she looked at Damian's ambitious stance
"Of course I am confident, I could crush that little boy with my bare hands and I plan to do that tomorrow with no difficulty," Damian responded while looking down and with his arms crossed so that his eyes were shadowed.
Malva seemed to be a little taken back by his response and narrowed her eyes, "You don't see Ash as a potential threat?"
"Of course not, his pokemon are pathetic," Damian spat with a venomous tone as he the smirked and said: "I do have to give him credit for one thing, and that is the fact that one of the caller girls of the Masterclass actually follows him around like a lost puppy." Damian then looked at the camera and smiled, "He is going down and I will show his pokemon, specially that Charizard, why he does not deserve a trainer like me." Damian then smirked, "And when I beat you Ash, I will also take the girl away from you."
The scene then zoomed out to Malva who was commentating over the interview concluding the segment.
Ash looked away from the television set to see eyes on him and Serena. A wave of emotions surged through him: mostly anger and irritation at the way that this battle was turning into a battle for dignity, and a battle for glory. Ash knew very well that this battle would be one that he could not afford to lose, one he had to work his tail off to win.
Serena looked flustered, her face was red, but it was not because of romantic implications: it was because of public humiliation. Serena had her hands close to her ribbon as she was beginning to shake a little. It was not like her to begin to lose her cool, but this was definitely something that was starting to haunt her, it made her want to make the ground swallow her whole.
Serena then stopped shaking and became rigid at the feeling of a warm touch grab her hand. Serena looked up to see Ash, but something about him seemed different. "Relax Serena," Ash said with a serious voice. "I am confident in my abilities to defeat Damian."
"A-Ash…" Serena said with what sounded like an inaudible squeak. "I uh," Serena then saw how Ash's eyes were filled with determination and fire. At that moment, nothing mattered to Serena as she knew that Ash was finally back and ready to take on Damian, it was something he was looking forward to and he would not back down by a mile.
"Ash, how are you gonna fight back?" Bonnie asked eagerly towards the raven haired trainer.
"Now now Bonnie, let Serena and Ash relax, they were just publicly insulted, which is something they have to catch their breaths on," Clemont explained with a brotherly tone.
"Aww, that is no fair," Bonnie pouted as Brock came behind Bonnie and put a hand on her shoulder as he spoke to Ash:
"What's the plan now, Ash?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Ash asked as he released his hand's grip from a more comfortable Serena. "I win tomorrow, my pokemon and I have worked so hard to get here, so we are going to make sure that we get the job done."
From afar, a boy with a Jolteon snuck a glance towards Ash and Serena and sighed, "Remind me to thank Ash later for helping out my sister."
"Teon," Jolteon replied with an electrified voice as the trainer and pokemon began to walk away in another direction.
Ash and the gang through, they began to walk back in the direction they came from because it was starting to get dark. The sunset was about to begin and Ash knew he would need a good nights rest of he was to take on Damian the next day.
"Hey Ash!" Ash turned around to see the familiar orange haired woman with a camera gang come towards him. Ash looked a little confused as to what Malva was doing, but when he saw the microphone, he knew exactly why Malva was there: "Interview?"
Ash and the others looked at the camera slightly nervously, but the raven haired trainer decided to take his step forward: "Yes, I would be fine with an interview."
Malva smirked as he looked at Ash and then asked, "What is your strategy for taking on Damian tomorrow?"
Ash shadowed his eyes with his cap to then look back at the camera with determination, "I have no strategy and I don't need it…" Ash then smirked, "The only thing I have is passion."
"Passion, that is interesting," Malva affirmed as she then looked over at the group and then asked a question that Ash could have seen coming: "After Damian's interview, we can conclude that there has been some bad blood between your opponent and you. Do you mind telling us your response to what Damian claimed about your pokemon?"
Ash clenched his fists a little at this, but he then looked back up at the camera and said: "I don't try to get angry, but when it happens, it is not always pretty." Ash then pumped his fists at the camera and spat, "Attack me, not my pokemon. They are my friends and they do not deserve the criticism you give them."
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted at he camera with an intimidating posture.
Ash though, he was not done, in fact he grew a more venomous voice that shocked not only Malva and Ash's friends, but Pikachu himself was taken agape by Ash's next words. Serena though, she had her hands over her mouth barely able to comprehend what was going on: "Listen up tough guy, leave Serena the hell alone. She is not a 'worker girl' for me and she is definitely not a 'lost puppy' that follows me around. Next time you attack her, I will personally go over there and I will get Charizard to ignite you ablaze while shoving his big, rough, and blazing…"
"OK, so that is Ash's response," Malva said quickly as she turned away from Ash and the others to the cameraman while quickly leaving the scene.
"Hehe, that did it…" Ash turned around to see a snickering Serena, an agape Brock, a Pikachu that had his ears crossed with a bright red cheeks, and a very red faced Clemont covering Bonnie's ears. "What?"
As soon as Clemont let go of Bonnie's ears, she was the first to speak, "Charizard actually has a big, rough, and blazing…?"
"BONNIE!" Clemont shouted with a lot of embarrassment. "That is not what dad would want you to say!"
"Well I was curious," Bonnie pouted as Dedenne popped out of her sac to then jump on the lemon blonde girl's hair.
"Alright guys, it is settled then," Ash said as he fist bumped his electric mouse. "I am going to defeat Damian tomorrow and I am going to make sure to finally get through to him!" Ash then felt as his stomach grumbled as if on queue. "Oh man, now I am getting very hungry."
"Nothing we can't fix," Brock said with a smirk. "I think it is settled then, let's go get some food for us before it gets too dark outside."
"Right!"
"Pika!"
That night while trying to sleep:
"Oh man," Ash grumbled as he rolled over on his bed. Ash looked ahead and saw his eyes adjust to the darkness of his hotel room to see his belt. Ash was still on his normal day clothes, mostly because as soon as he touched the bed, he and Pikachu instantly fell asleep. Looking around, Ash noticed Pikachu lying perfectly sound asleep on the other bed, his chest slowly rising and falling. Ash though, he could not sleep: he felt nervous for the next day, maybe not unconfident, but the Butterfrees were flying about in his stomach.
Deciding to take a walk, Ash did not bother to grab his belt as he walked out with his belt still on his pants. Ash decided to leave the belt of pokeballs with Pikachu, so he carefully unclipped the belt and set it next to the electric rodent. "Pika," Ash smiled as he heard Pikachu mumble in his sleep. It was something he found adorable, but Ash then put on a pensive face as he reached to his belt and pulled out one of the minimized pokeballs.
Ash then looked around and with stealth went out of his room while calling the elevator. The ride down the three floors to the ground level was very short and comforting. Stepping out of the level and into the lobby, there was not really anyone around, and then stepping out into the empty walkway with the moon light above him, it was comforting.
Ash looked around and saw the monitors displaying the symbol for the Kalos league in which it displayed a little bit of light over the shadows of the buildings, primarily the stadium. "Hmm, I wonder where I could go," Ash muttered as he went up the same staircase the he did a couple days prior to when he talked with Hau. Spotting the same tree, Ash walked over and sat down under it. "What can I do for tomorrow, I gotta stay strong, I just gave to…" Ash internally struggled as he ruffled around his hair. Ash then sighed as he reached into his pocket and took out the minimized pokeball. Ash silently pressed the button to make it expand and then released a flashing light of energy to materialize next to him.
"Gruaw?" Charizard asked as he looked down on his trainer. Charizard noticed it was just him alone with Ash and looking around, he heard the silence of the night.
"Charizard," Ash said in an apologetic manner. "Sorry I summoned you at such a time, I just could not sleep." The fire and flying type with the large harness that contained the blue stone cocked his head as he looked on at Ash. "In case you didn't know, we battle Damian tomorrow, the guy that you know very well does not think you are strong at all."
"Gruaw," Charizard crossed his arms disapprovingly, but the he heard as his trainer spoke up once more.
"Let's prove him wrong tomorrow, as a team," Ash said as he looked up at Charizard. The dragon type smirked and gave Ash a thumbs up with his right hand, Ash chuckled at this, "Charizard, you seriously are quite the player aren't you"
"Grruuuaaawww," Charizard replied as he rubbed his cheek up against Ash's.
"Oh come on Charizard, stop it," Ash said as he patted his dragon's head in a loving manner only to then feel himself get burned. "Dang it Charizard!" the raven haired trainer grunted now covered in soot. Ash then took back a pokeball and recalled Charizard back to his red energetic state. Once minimized, he put the pokeball back on his pocket to then walk back towards the hotel. Making it to the walkway, Ash then heard a voice behind him:
"Couldn't sleep, I am guessing," Ash turned around to find Night and Jolteon standing there with arms crossed and a smirk on his face.
"Yea, just a little excited for the battle tomorrow," Ash replied with a sheepish voice and a rub of the back of his head.
"Alright, but get some sleep," Night said calmly. "Anyways, I came here to thank you." Ash cocked his head as he heard this which made Night smile and look down. "Look Ash, I came to thank you for standing up for my sister, it means a lot."
"Wait…" Ash said wide eyed. "Serena is your…"
"I need to tell her personally," Night said with a sigh. "Long story short, I am thankful that you are taking care of her very well."
"Oh," Ash replied still a little agape at seeing that Night was related to Serena. "It was nothing, something just-"
"Snapped when Damian called her a 'worker girl' and a 'lost puppy'? Yeah, that is understandable, I would have done if the girl I had to defend was a significant other," Night replied.
"What does that mean?" Ash asked with a clueless voice.
Night mentally face palmed but then looked away, "You will find out soon enough, I would call you hopeless, but eventually, you will give into the arrow that penetrated your heart."
"What does that mean?" Ash then laughed sarcastically. "Did you get that shy pokemon you have to shoot me?"
Night chuckled a little, "Not that kind of arrow, and Decidueye has a name." Night then turned around and said: "Anyways, Jolteon and I have to get going to do some more surveillance."
"Jol!" Jolteon replied with a nod.
"See you later," Night said as he began to walk away with Jolteon following him. Ash just watched Night and then cocked an eyebrow when he saw Night stop in his tracks, "One more thing…"
"Kick Damian's a** tomorrow," Night said before completely walking off.
Ash smirked as he saw this and turned back towards the hotel. He was ready to take it on tomorrow. He was ready to show Damian who was boss…
A/N: There we go, the battle will begin next chapter.
Be expecting a pretty damn long battle BTW, I am going to try and make the individual battles very intense and lengthy, so if you are a fan of that, then be glad I am doing this!
Hope you enjoyed, remember to R & R and I will see you guys later!
