Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon, If I did, Ash would age and win a league. (Orange league doesn't count)
A/N: Here is the aftermath, also Ash, Cynthia and Sabrina get even closer.
Pummelo Stadium
The stadium fell silent as they heard the sound of Dragonite growling before falling to the ground with a huge thud. No one spoke for a few seconds, you could easily hear a pin drop in the now silent stands. The referee looked to the battle field he was stunned. However eventually he raised the flag on Ash's side of the field.
"Dragonite is unable to battle, the winner is Charizard. With all six Champion Pokemon knocked out, I declare the challenger Ash Ketchum the winner of this match and the new Champion of the Orange League Crew!"
The stadium suddenly erupted in cheers and screams of joy. Several were already shouting Ash's name, as the huge screens around the stadium showed his surprised face, with WINNER! written above it.
"The Challenger wins the match, you heard me right folks, Ash Ketchum has done the impossible, he has broken Drakes's streak and is now the new Orange League Crew Champion! Not even Drake most powerful Pokemon could prevent this young trainers from pushing through and winning the match. Lets give it up for your new Champion...Ash Ketchum!"
The crowd again started chanting and shouting, however while the crowd was still coming to terms with what had happened. Two figures approached each other in the centre of the Battlefield. Drake couldn't believe it, his streak was finally over, but he couldn't have said that he wasn't beaten by a worth opponent. Ash had demonstrated strategy way beyond that of a fourteen year old and he was now the new Champion. Drake wondered what he should do now, for six years he had held the title and now it was time to pass the torch onto the next Orange League Champion. Drake extended his hand towards Ash.
"Congratulations Ash, you're the new Orange league Champion. You put on a super display, You showed just why you won the Indigo Plateau Championship, and now I pass on the title of Champion to you. From now on, it will be up to you to defend the reputation of the Orange League."
Ash blinked in surprise, he hadn't been expecting that, Ash didn't want to become a full time champions, there was still many Pokemon and wonderful new places he hadn't seen yet. He wasn't ready to be tied down to just one spot. "Drake I appreciate the offer, but why don't you continue as Champion. I have only been on my journey for a year and half, and there is still so much more for me to see and experience. I'm not ready to be tied down into one spot. Besides you know this league in side out, just because I beat you doesn't mean you should give up all that hard work. Please stay Champion, I will just accept the trophy and being inducted into the hall of fame."
Drake looked down at the young trainer stunned. This boy didn't want to become Orange league champion, and had just entered the league to prove to himself that he was the real deal, that his victory in Kanto had been no fluke. Drake respected that.
"Ash if that is what you want, then I would be happy to continue on as Orange League Champions, however if in the future you change your mind and get bored of your journey, then spot of Champion will also be open to you here." Drake noticed one of the official League members was walking towards them holding the trophy and cheque. The official handed them over to Drake who took them. He then turned to Ash.
"As proof of your victory here in the Orange League, I would like to present you with the Orange League Champion trophy and cheque for 400,000 poke dollars. You will also be inducted into the Orange League Hall of fame. Please Ash follow me."
Drake led Ash towards the stands, Ash noticed two Pokemon League Official opened a curtain and behind it was a path that led to a huge marble building. The path was already lined with people cheering and clapping. Ash even spotted Sabrina, Cynthia and Tracey in the crowd, both girls had the biggest smiles on their faces. Ash followed Drake up a set of stairs and into a high ceiling room, surrounded with Pedestals which had huge slabs of clay mounted on top of them with a photo of the trainer and their Pokemon. Ash noticed one of the official league members had set up a space in the room and was now pouring a lot of cement into a square mould.
"Ash this is where your deeds will be remembered for all eternity. The cement is so that you can leave a permanent impression of your accomplishment here at the Orange league. Please call out all your Pokemon who battled with you today. Each of them will then either lay a hand in the cement or a foot, to leave an impression."
Ash did what Drake said and opened up all the balls of those who had battled with him. Soon he was surrounded by Gengar, Blastoise, Knuckles, Pikachu, Charizard and finally Dragonair. Each of them placed a paw or a foot into the cement, or in Dragonair case, the end of her tail. There was just enough room in the centre for two human hand prints.
"The last space is for you Ash, please push your hand into the cement." Ash looked to Drake before doing so. One all the prints had been made, the official left the mould to dry. Ash then found himself huddled around his Pokemon as a photographer snapped a photo of him and his Pokemon.
Meanwhile Outside the Hall of Fame
Sabrina, Cynthia and Tracey were waiting for Ash to come out. They had been informed that only the new champion and current champion were allowed to enter. The Public would then be able to see the new inductee tomorrow when the Hall of fame opened to the pubic. All three had been waiting ages when the door finally opened and out walked Ash followed by Drake. Both girls ran towards him and tackled him to the ground, hugging him and kissing him. Poor Tracey shook his head, it seems Ash not only had Sabrina but Cynthia too. It was alright for some. Eventually though the girls allowed Ash to get up and each looped their arm through his and walked back towards Tracey. The police had already dispersed the crowd and so it was now only Ash, and co, stood alone with Drake. Both trainers said their good byes and walked off into different direction. Ash was till clutching hold of his trophy, he had folded the cheque up in his pocket, he planned to put it in the bank before they left Pummelo. However getting back to the Pokemon centre, seemed like it was going to be a struggle, the police may had dispersed the crowd at the stadium, but now Ash and co found themselves mobbed by the huge crowds who had been waiting to meet their new champion. Ash found autograph books and camera shoved into his face, it was the Indigo league all over again. Luckily one of the Officer Jenny's spotted them in the middle of the crowd and pushed her way through to try give them some protection. Eventually they had reached the Pokemon centre. Ash thanked officer Jenny and then quickly ran into the centre who now had two police officer on either side of the door, blocking the crowd from getting in. Ash sighed in relief.
"I thought they would never stop. Is everyone okay?" Ash turned to his friend and girlfriends to see they were a little bit ruffled, but seemed to be okay. The four teens made their way towards the lift and then towards their room. Ash swiped the card through the door and walked into the room followed by Sabrina and Cynthia, Tracey had decided to retire to his own room, Pikachu had decided to go with him, as he knew what could happen, between Ash and the girls.
Ash's Room
Ash fell back onto the bed and noticed both Sabrina and Cynthia was looking at him, this made him feel a little nervous. However when both girls sat on the bed near him, his nervousness jumped to a whole new level.
