Oh man, I really wonder if writing a lemon was such a good idea. I don't regret it, but this story could probably've managed without it. On to this chapter! It's mostly a battle chapter, containing the 3 on 3 semifinal match between Ash and Lance. Anything more? Well some fluffy Advanceshipping. Also, to make sure everyone understood. The scene with Ash and Dawn as kids has nothing to do with this. It was just a taste of my next project. So, review and usual and welcome to Chapter 7!

Ash: 14/18

May: 12/16

Brock: 19/23

Paul: 14/18

Dawn: 10/14

Iris: 11/15

Gary: 14/18

As the sun was shining, announcing the early morning, May started to move a little. Then she felt something next to her. She looked and was surprised to see Ash laying next to her, without clothes on. Then she remembered what had happened last night. She and Ash had done it. And she had loved it.

'I wonder what Dad'll say when finds that I and Ash are together.' May thought, knowing that her Dad could get very angry over things. She didn't even want to think how he would react when she told him that she and Ash were lovers. Then came the knock, and she remembered that the door wasn't locked.

"Good morning!" the bubbly voice announced as it opened the door. Dawn looked around the room until her eyes focused on the bed. Two people were lying there, without clothes on.

"Uh, good morning Dawn." May said, not trying to blush. Dawn's face turned completely red before she turned around and shut the door. Waking up from the sound of a door being shut, Ash moved around until he opened his eyes and looked at May.

"Good morning Sapph."

"You know, Dawn opened the door and saw us." May responded, not bothering to say good morning to him.

"Ah, damn it. She isn't supposed to see things like these." Ash stated, wanting to protect Dawn as if she was his real sister.

"We'll explain it to her and then she'll get over it." May said, trying to calm Ash down.

"How about a shower?"

"Sure, but keep your hands off me!" May exclaimed with a grin, wondering how hard it would be to resist.


"Good morning everyone!" Ash said, happy to see all of his friends sitting at the table and eating breakfast.

"Morning Ash!" Brock responded, excited to see Ash's battle against Lance later during the day. Dawn only looked at her plate, a light tint of red over her face. Sitting down next to her, while May was getting breakfast for them, he looked at her with concern.

"Hey Dawn, want to talk about what happened earlier?" Ash asked, wanting to make sure that Dawn was alright.

"Uh, sure." Dawn responded, the light tint of red getting darker.

"You know, me and May love each other. And what you saw was the final proof." Ash explained, making sure no one listened. He continued explaining it, until Dawn had understood and that she wouldn't worry about it anymore. Then May came with a plate full of pancakes and Dawn could only laugh as Ash stuffed them in his mouth. He would need all the energy he could when he was going to battle Lance.

"What's so funny?" Ash asked, just having swallowed everything he had in his mouth. Dawn giggled, not saying anything before focusing on her own breakfast again.

"Ah, Ash!" Lance exclaimed, having found his soon to be opponent.

"Lance?" Ash asked, not knowing what the Dragon Master wanted from him at this hour.

"I hope you're ready for our battle Ash. It has been moved to an earlier time, meaning it starts in 30 minutes." Lance stated calmly, enjoying the expression on Ash's face.

"30 minutes?! Better get my team ready!" Ash shouted, taking May's hand and pulling her along.


"So, who're you going to use?" May asked, wondering what Pokemon he would use.

"Charizard, Pikachu and Lucario." Ash said, using his strongest Pokemon. He had one more Pokemon, and he only thought one trainer was worthy to battle it.

"There's the arena!" May said, pointing at the massive building.

"Looks like they finally let us battle in front of a massive crowd." Ash responded, having battled many times in front of those crowds, even if he had missed doing that during the last few years.

"Are you ready?" May asked, seeing the confident expression on the face of her boyfriend.

"Sure am, I'm finally going to end my rivalry with Lance and show him his place!" Ash exclaimed, pumping his fist into the air.

"If you win, I might've a surprise." May said, biting her lip, while looking at the ground before looking into Ash's eyes. The look she gave him was barely resistable. Ash's face turned dark red as it him him what she meant.

"I didn't know you enjoyed it that much May." Ash countered, quickly surprising her before it was her turn to blush.

"Alright, hurry up or you'll miss the match!" May said, having recovered, before running to the spectator entrance.


"Welcome to our first semifinal match! We got an exciting battle between Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and Lance, the Champion of Kanto!" the announcer shouted, making the entire crowd roar. "Now, please welcome our two trainers!"


Leaning against a wall, Ash was waiting until the announcer would announce their entrance. Hearing it, Ash walked with a slow through the entrance until he had reached his designated spot on the battlefield. Seeing Lance, he gave him a quick nod before he waited for the announcement to release their Pokemon.

"Now trainers, release your Pokemon!" the announcer shouted.

"Let's go Lucario!" Ash said, releasing his Pokemon. His plan was rather simple, use his weakest of his three Pokemon first and so on.

"Salamence, get it done!" Lance shouted, throwing his pokeball in the air before the mighty dragon was released.

"Lucario vs Salamence! Begin!" the referee shouted, pulling down his flags.

"Lucario, Aura Sphere!"

"Block it with Dragon Claw!" Lance ordered back, knowing to never underestimate Ash. But he did. Lucario quickly vanished, before appearing behind Salamence who was hitting the incoming Aura Sphere. His paws glowed, before he quickly hit Salamence with Force Palm. Everyone in the crowd was shocked, the trainer didn't even give a command but the Pokemon had still used two moves.

'Seems like they got caught off-guard Master." Lucario stated calmly, happy over the result.

'Seems so. But let's not do it to often, they'll understand it sooner or later.' Ash responded, knowing that Lance would catch on quickly.

"Salamence, get close and use Dragon Claw again!" Lance shouted, seeing that Lucario had returned to his original position.

"Counter with Close Combat!" Ash ordered, knowing how resilient Dragon types were. Which meant that Salamence would most likely prevail in a drawn out battle. Duking it out, the Dragon Claw overpowered the Close Combat and sent Lucario flying.

"Well Ash, I know how you love my Dragons!" Lance shouted, having a smirk on his face.

"You give me no choice. Mega Evolution now!" Ash screamed, revealing the Lucarionite. Shooting out a white light, Lucario quickly caught it before transforming. He felt the power flowing through him and he knew he could now battle on even terms.

"Impressive, but not enough! Hyper Beam!" Lance ordered, confident as ever.

"Breakthrough!" Ash shouted, no one knowing what he meant. Lucario jumped towards the beam, while holding an Aura Sphere in his hand. With all his might he slammed it into the Hyper Beam, splitting it into two.

"Incredible." Lance said to himself, watching as the Aura Sphere split Salamence's Hype Beam.

"Now, release it!" Ash ordered, catching Lance off-guard. The Aura Sphere quickly flew towards Salamence, straight through the Hyper Beam. Not knowing what to do, Lance simply watched as the Aura Sphere got a direct hit on Salamence.

"Salamence, take it to the skies!" Lance shouted, hoping he would've an easier time from there.

"Finish it with Aura Storm!" Ash ordered, using Lucario's strongest move. Jumping up into the air, Salamence noticed him and didn't think any attack would stop him. Making it look like an Aura Sphere, the sphere quickly grew. "Fire!"

"Dodge it!" Lance screamed, but it was too late. A beam of energy was fired, enveloping Salamence who roared in pain as he got utterly destroyed by the Aura Storm. Giving the last of his power, Lucario shot Salamence down and sent him crashing into the ground,

"Salamence is unable to battle!"

"Return Salamence." Lance said sadly, pointing his pokeball at the fainted dragon Pokemon.

"Alright Lance. Are you going to send Gyarados next?" Ash asked, acting a little arrogant. As he saw Lance's facial expression he knew that he had guessed correct.

"Gyarados, finish it!" Lance shouted, having taken out his next pokeball and released the massive Pokemon into the pool of water that was part of the battlefield.

"Alright Lucario, give it everything you got before you fall! Force Palm!" Ash ordered, knowing that Lucario's Aura Storm had drained him a lot.

"Use Hydro Pump!" Lance shouted, using the advantage of his Gyarados power by firing a stronger Hydro Pump which made it travel faster. Taking it directly, Lucario pushed through while using the remaining power he possessed to deliver a strong Force Palm before fainting from exhaustion.

"Lucario is unable to battle!"

"You were amazing Lucario. Take a good rest." Ash said, pointing the pokeball at Lucario.

"I'm pretty sure who you'll use next. I don't need to call it though." Lance smirked, fully aware that his Gyarados was in big trouble against his next opponent.

"You sure don't! Let's go Pikachu!" Ash shouted, having a big grin as his best friend jumped from his shoulder onto the battlefield.

"Gyarados, use Dragon Breath!" Lance ordered.

"Block it with Iron Tail and send it back!" Ash shouted, using one of his innovative counter strategies. Jumping into the air, Pikachu slammed his Iron Tail into the Dragon Breath. Gathering as much as he could, he eventually flung the attack while adding more power thanks to his Iron Tail. Screaming in pain, Gyarados quickly became angry.

"Use Hyper Beam!" Lance screamed, not happy about Ash's strategy.

"Volt Tackle straight through!" Ash countered, knowing it was a reckless move.

"Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika PIKA!" Pikachu shouted, running and then jumping straight into the air. Gyarados eyes widened as he saw Pikachu glide through his Hyper Beam towards him. As Pikachu hit, a massive explosion was created which covered the entire battlefield in smoke. Laying on the ground were both Pikachu and Gyarados, swirls in their eyes. The combined power of their attacs and the explosion had sent both cold.

"Pikachu and Gyarados are unable to battle!"

"Looks this ends here Lance! Let's go Charizard!" Ash shouted, throwing the pokeball into the air.

"It's up to you, Dragonite!" Lance said, repeating Ash's movements. The two Pokemon looked at each, being the strongest Pokemon their trainers had.

"Flamethrower!" Ash ordered, starting it slow.

"Counter with Dragon Breath!" Lance said, being much calmer when he used his strongest Pokemon.

"Stop the Flamethrower and then use Slash followed by Wing Attack!" Ash shouted, seeing Lance's surprised expression. Dodging the Dragonbreath, Charizard slashed at Dragonite before using Wing Attack which slammed Dragonite into the ground.

"Dragonite, use Twister!" Lance ordered, Dragonite having recovered rather fast. Summoning a big tornado, Dragonite launched it at Charizard. Breaking through, Lance hadn't heard Ash's order, Charizard quickly used a close up Flamethrower.

"Return Charizard!" Ash shouted, calling Charizard back to his starting position. Dragonite did the same thing, seeing it was a good move.

"Hey Lance, how about end we this with a boom?" Ash asked, a grin plastered on his entire face.

"I'm all for it!" Lance responded.

"Giga Impact!" they shouted in unison. Glowing purple, both Pokemon took all their remaining power and flew straight at each other. The explosion was massive, sending everyone coughing as the sand from the battlefield hit the crowd.

"Charizard, use Seismic Toss!" Ash ordered, shocking everyone, knowing that Charizard was still in there. Having their heads locked, Charizard heard the orders and grabbed Dragonite rather harshly. Taking to the sky, the crowd gasped and wondered who would win. Not knowing what to do, Lance watched in horror as Charizard was about to turn back towards the ground. There was only one way out.

"Dragonite, use Hyper Beam!" Lance shouted, being desperate to not lose.

"Finish it Charizard!" Ash screamed, having the fun of his life. With all of his remaining power, Charizard soared down while Dragonite charged his Hyper Beam. Before he could fire though, Charizard let go of him. Soaring downwards, there was nothing Dragonite could, he simply accepted his fate. Once again a shockwave of sand was released, forcing everyone to cover their eyes. As the field cleared, there was no doubt who had won. Charizard stood up, proud but exhausted, looking at the fainted Dragonite.

"You did great Dragonite." Lance said, recalling his Pokemon.

"And the winner is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!" the announcer shouted, the crowd roaring and clapping because of the amazing battle.

"Make Kanto proud Ash. I'm sure May wants to represent Hoenn in the finals!" Lance said, before taking his leave.

Having managed to escape the arena before the crowd got him, Ash got tackled by May who nearly managed to get him on the ground. Giving him a passionate kiss, Ash could see the grin on May's face.

"You did it!" May screamed, locking lips again and forcing her tongue into his mouth.

"So, do I get my reward?" Ash asked, no one besides May hearing him. Not responded, Ash took it as a yes as May turned dark red.

"We got to celebrate this! I'll cook us a feast!" Brock exclaimed, proud that his friend had reached the finals. At just that perfect moment, Ash's and May's stomachs growled in unison.


So, I managed to write another battle scene. Thank god that I decided to write only one 6 on 6 battle. I had originally planned to write the semifinals and finals as 6 on 6 but decided against it, and I was only reminded why while writing the battle. I'm not very good at writing them, and they're clearly not my favorites. That's about everything. Reviews're as always welcome and I'll see you next time!
