"What's taking them so long?" Justin asked as he paced around the entrances of the ballroom impatiently.

"It's probably Adan and Delia; they really don't like each other." Natasha inquired as she frigid on her dress.

"Adan should have let me pick up the kids; it would be less time consuming." Henry stated which caused Natasha to chuckle loudly.

"That would happen over Adan's dead body." Natasha mused with both an amused and serious tone. "Wait that's not right, that will happen over your dead body."

"I know that but it would be nice to see Delia again." Henry exclaimed with a smile which earned him a hit on the back of his head. Natasha then leaned down to his ear.

"I don't know what you're planning on that head of yours but it better not involve you and Delia reuniting." Natasha said with a silent sneered.

"And what will you do if my plans involve that." Henry whispered back with a curious and daring eye.

"Then the two of you won't last long that I guarantee." Natasha retorted with a dark tone. "You two already had your chance for love and both of you screwed it up, let others have a chance." Natasha said cryptically as she stood up and walk towards Sarah and Jane.

Henry looked at Natasha curiously, questioning at what her words meant.

Lucky for him, he will know the meaning of those words this evening.

Sarah and Jane glanced at the approaching Natasha curiously. They had witness the conversation between her and there useless father and can't help but wonder one thing, did there father had some kind of past relationship with Ash's mother. It baffled their minds to a great extent.

"Hey Tasha, could I asked you something?" Sarah exclaimed curiously as she glanced at the approaching Natasha.

"Asked away Sarah," Natasha said, already knowing what the question is.

"What was the relationship between Henry and Ash's mother? You said it yourself that our parents and Ash's parents used to travel together together with you and Papa Dan, could you tell us what's the relationship between out biological father and Ash's mother." Jane inquired curiously.

Natasha merely shook her head and smile at the two curious ladies. "I can't tell you that. If you want to know that answer to that question, then you better asked Elena or Ash, the two of them knows the answer of that question." Natasha inquired further confusing Sarah but Jane quickly picked the meaning of those words.

'So the two of them already knows some vital secrets about the bastard huh, somehow that doesn't supriced me.' Jane thought with a small thoughtful look.

Sarah on the other, for the first time in her life, was totally clueless."You mean Ashy and Elena already knew of their pass relationship, since when?" Sarah asked curiously.

"I think so, Elena already knew because you know Adan, he can't keep a secret from her." Sarah and Jane both nodded at that, Adan has a big soft spot for Elena. "As for Ash knowing, let's just say that he has ways of knowing things, I should know, I met him once and I could safely say that he is one of a kind." Natasha said in a smile.

"Elena is quite lucky to have him." Natasha added softly so that no one could hear.

After those words a limo came to a halt in front of them. "There here," Natasha commented as she saw the limo opened.

"Misty, May, Dawn over here," Sarah said as she waved at her new friends.

The three girls glanced at Sarah and hurriedly approached her and Jane. The three boys on the other hand hurriedly approached Michael and Neil.

"Hey guys, what took you so long?" Michael asked as he glanced at his new friends.

"The girls took there sweet time in changing." Max answered in frustration.

Michael tapped Max's shoulder and smiled at him."I feel your pain Max, I fell your pain." Michael stated humorously.

As the two boys started a conversation about their female problems, on the other hand the three other boys start a conversation of there own.

"So where is this Ash boy, I always wanted to meet Adan's nephew." Neil stated as he glanced around.

Gary and Brock merely chuckled uneasily at that question, they had a feeling that Ash was with Elena right now but they weren't sure but they had a strong feeling about it. "He'll be here, his just a bit late." Gary answered with an unease smile.

Neil nodded as he glanced at Sarah. "I do hope that he makes it to the ball tonight, Sarah is really expecting him." Neil commented with a smile causing Brock to sobbed, knowing that Sarah had a crush on Ash.

'What can't I be that lucky?' Brock thought as anime tears fell from his eyes.

It was fortunate that all the kids were having a conversation, because it gave Henry the chanced to approached Delia, for the first time in twenty years.

Henry smiled as Delia emerged from the limo and was quite delighted at the sight of the limo moving away from her, which would mean that Adan won't disturb them for a while. Henry hurriedly approached her ex-lover. Natasha on the other hand was watching him with mild discontent and was prepared to stop this is this meeting goes out of hand.

"Hey Delia, it's been a while hasn't it." Henry greeted as he stopped in front of Delia.

Delia heart beat rapidly at the sight of her former lover; he still has the smile that caused her heart to soar. "Hey Henry, I see you look good." Delia replied as she restrained herself to just fling herself to his arms.

"You look good as well, beautiful I might add." Henry complimented with a sweet smile. Natasha watched this with total discontent.

"This is sickening," Natasha commented with a disgust expression.

"I know what you mean Natasha, this is disgusting." Professor Oak agreed as he approached the brunette, he was wearing a disappointed expression as well.

"Hey Oak, I see that your still as old as I could remember."Natasha commented silently.

"And you're still the brat that I remember." Professor Oak stated as he glanced at Delia and Henry once again.

"They hadn't learned anything from that bloody incident I see." Natasha commented with a shook of her head in dissapoinment.

"Ash would be so disappointed if he sees this." Professor Oak stated disappointedly as they continue to watch the two.

"So those two are your daughters with Relena huh," Delia commented as she gazed at Jane and Sarah, with a bit of discontent in her tone of voice.

"Yeah, I actually have three daughters but Elena is currently in here break so she won't be here." Henry exclaimed as he glanced at her. "So I heard that both you and Alexander had a son, Ash is the name right." Henry inquired with a smile.

Delia glanced at Henry and merely smiled at him. "Yes, Ash is my little boy and he looks like the carbon copy of Alexander." Delia stated with a chuckle. "My Ash just need to be more serious and a bit smarter and I would say that his the clone of Alex." Delia added with a chuckled which was followed by a chuckle from Henry as well.

"My Elena is similar to Relena, Elena inherited the hair and looks of her mother but not her outgoing spirit, if she had that I would say that Elena was Relena's reincarnation." Henry stated with a chuckled as a hand suddenly grabbed Delia's and his hair and pulled it hard as the person drag the two of them forward.

"Let's go inside the Ballroom before you two make me sick." Adan stated as he effortlessly drag the two.

"I do have feet you know." Delia sneered at the sight of her brother while Henry merely sighed, he was quite use of Adan dragging like this.

"I know but I really don't care." Adan retorted as he told the rest to enter the ballroom.

(Scene Change)

"This place is beautiful," Elena complimented as she and her Ash glanced around the ballroom.

"I know and this place is actually made out of marbles, I don't see much architecture made out of this material anymore." Ash commented as he felt the aura around the room, his merely sighed at the feeling of several familiar Aura's around the Ballroom.

'Let's see Zoey, Ursula, Nando, Kenny, Barry, Reggie Riley, Solidad hell even Paul is here, not to mention both Drew and Harley are here as well, who in the hell invited those two..' Ash thought with a bit of annoyance, it would be harder know to hide from so many people. 'Even Lance, Cynthia, and Lucian are here as well, this ball must be pretty big to have two champions and an elite four participating.'

"Hey Ash, have you sense their presence already?" Elena asked as she sat beside Ash.

Ash merely nodded as he intertwined her hands with his. "You ready love," Ash asked with a small, unsure smile. He might be an Aura Prince but he was still a bit unsure about this.

Elena clasped her hands tightly at his and merely smiled back at Ash. "I've ready, let's just wait for them to see us before we start the story line, we do have a week together." Elena stated with a smile.

Ash smile back as he draw strength from her, he may have the power to destroy his enemies as he saw fit but he still draws power from her, from her Goddess.

"Thanks, I needed that love." Ash said with a smile causing Elena to chuckle a bit.

"I'm always here for you Ash, you have the problem of the world on your shoulders, and I'm here to lessen it." Elena said as she laid her head on Ash's shoulder as the two of them waited for the ball to start.

(Scene Change)

"So where are we going to sit, Samuel?" Sarah asked as she conversed with the old professor.

"Don't be impatient Sarah, we'll find them soon." Professor Oak stated as he glanced around the ballroom for specific people.

"Arceus, we should have really met in one place, it would be much easier that way." Sarah commented as she glanced around the ballroom, it was like what she expected, the entire room was filled with trainers, and it was perfect.

"It seems that this year would be a war." Sarah mumbled quietly as a smirked crawled to her lips.

The rest noticing that smirked hurriedly become unnerve, Ash's friends didn't know why but that smirked sent a shiver down there spine while the crew already knew the meaning of that smirked, it meant pain and destruction. The crew hurriedly position themselves behind there new friends, with the exception of Adan, who was eyeing his sister and Henry who was having another conversation.

"Hey guys, why are you guys hiding behind us?" Max inquired as he glanced at Michael who was in front of his girlfriend.

"You see that smirked on Sarah's faced," Max and the rest nodded at that, it was hard to miss that sadistic smirked on Sarah's face. "When she smirks like that, we always end up either in a life and death situation or a situation where we have to fight for our lives." Michael explained as a shiver runs through his spine.

"Come on guys, you're exaggerating things." Dawn commented with a joking tone which was answered by a dark glare from the rest of the crew.

"Trust me when I say this, and for the first time I speak for the rest of the crew, when Sarah smirked like that, its all hell well break loose." Justin said in a fearful tone, remembering how painful those times are for him, it was especially painful for her because Sarah hates him with a passion.

"Let's just pray that whatever she's planning is less painful that her old plans." Karen said in a soft tone.

The crew nodded before cursing that Elena was not here. When Elena was with them, Sarah was less extreme at anything she was planning; it was still painful but less life threatening.

"Here we are guys." Sarah said catching everyone's attentions. The large group was then starring at a larger group of people, all of them we're quite familiar.

"Drew, Harley, Solidad what are you three doing here?" May exclaimed in shock as she saw her rivals.

"Zoey, Ursula, Nando, Kenny, Barry, you guys are invited too." Dawn exclaimed shockingly as she pointed at her rivals and friends.

"Of course we're invited, what do you think, you and your friends are the only people worthy of being in a formal affair." Ursula commented as she gazed at Dawn and her bunch of friends and instantly noticing that the handsome leader of the bunch was not present.

'Damn it, where's Ash, please don't tell me that his not going to attend this ball, I only attended because I thought that he was going to attend.' Ursula thought with a disappointed sighed.

"Why hello there May, its funny that you're invited in a formal affair, you don't even know how to be formal." Drew commented snidely causing Harley to chuckle and May to explode in anger.

"His right you know hun, you are not known for being formal." Harley added playfully causing May to be irate.

"Will you two shut up before I start hitting you two to kingdom come?" May said threateningly causing Solidad to step in before they make a scene.

"Three of you calm down, where in a formal affair so don't create a scene." Solidad lectured causing the three to calm down a bit.

"You guys know this people." Justin whispered to Brock as he glanced at the people around the table who were starting a conversation with May and Dawn.

"Yes, we met all of them during our journey." Brock answered as he glanced at everyone in the table.

"So tell me, where is the leader of this ragged tag group." Paul asked as he made his presents felt as while glancing at the large group in front of them but more so at Sarah.

'Ash managed to battle a legend and a top class trainer like her in a standstill and he still hasn't used that rodent.' Paul thought as he observed Sarah in the corner of his eye and could instantly feel the skill overflowing from her.

Dawn glanced coldly at the sight of Paul, of all the people to be invited, why him." "Why do you care Paul?" Dawn asked coldly in a sharp tone.

Paul glanced at Dawn uninterestedly." Who are you again?" Paul asked coldly, irritating Dawn but that question seems to gain interest of all the people in the table.

"Now that cold and ruthless mention it, where is that guy?" Drew inquired curiously as he glanced around and no Ash could be seen.

Ash's friend sighed, why is so many people interested in Ash.

(Scene Change)

"This is interesting," Ash commented with a low chuckle.

"What's interesting love?" Elena inquired as she gazed at Ash curiously.

"It seems that my friends are sited with my friendly rivals, this night will truly be interesting if they see us." Ash said as he noticed Mr. Goodshow emerging from the stadium.

(Scene Change)

"So in short, Ash is not going to join us today." Cynthia concluded with a barely noticeable sad tone.

'Oh well, there is always next time.' Cynthia thought sadly.

"Do not worry, Ash said that he would be here and by God he would be here." Gary said, knowing that Ash will be here later.

"Yeah, he'll be here, he has to be." Dawn whispered hopingly.

"He better be, I want a rematch." Sarah said with a low grin. That caused every trainer and coordinator there to look at Sarah curiously. "The first and the last time we battle, it was a tie remember. I think that battle was broadcast all across the four regions, right." Sarah stated causing everyone to nod.

"Now that you mention that battle, when did he capture that shinny Gengar? He didn't have the decency to use that Gengar in our full battle." Paul brooded with an annoyed tone.

"Suck it up Paul; you lost that battle even without that Gengar." Dawn commented snidely which was answered by an uninterested and annoyed gazed from Paul.

"Seriously, who are you?" Paul asked once again, irritating Dawn in the process.

"Ash beat you, how did that happen?" Barry asked in shock that his idol was beaten by his rival.

"Truth be told, I don't even know how he beat me." Paul replied spitefully.

"Really now Paul," Dawn trailed off sweetly. "If I remember correctly, Ash beat your Torterra with his Pikachu with the used of those strange moves, what did Ash called those two, Storm Revolver and Voltage Dragon I think their name is." Dawn commented with a wide grin.

Before Paul could give a response, Barry cut him off. "You mean Ash beat Paul the same way that he beat my father, with the use of those weird electric attacks." Barry inquired curiously.

"Not exactly, Ash beat you father with that black electricity thing, he beat Paul with normal electricity." Brock added causing everyone to be confused.

"Black electricity, how is that even possible?" Drew asked suddenly, confused at the implication of that even happening.

"Beats me, Ash just screamed Dark Spark, and next thing we know Pikachu emitted black lightning. Pikachu was able to knock out Palmer's Rhyperior with one move." Brock replied, shocking both Sarah and Cynthia but with that small explanation they could already guess what that Dark Spark is.

"Tell me, when Ash said Dark Spark Pikachu's eyes glowed black as well, right?" Cynthia inquired causing Ash's friends to shake their heads into a no.

"Actually, Pikachu's eyes glowed white." Gary answered causing Cynthia and Sarah to nod a bit.

"I see, so his that good huh." Sarah stated silently.

"What does that mean?" Paul inquired curiously.

Before Sarah or Cynthia could further elaborate a soft soothing music play throughout the ballroom.

(Scene Change)

"There are a lot of trainers here, more than I had expected." Mr. Goodshow commented as he gazed around the room.

"You did invite a lot of trainers to this ball, Charles." Professor Carolina commented with a smile.

"I had to, its appropriate because this festival is quite unique and the sponsors had given us a large sum of money to make this project a reality." Mr. Goodshow stated as he gazed at the symbol of the letter, it was a blue and white sphere with a black lightning bolt in the middle.

"Do you guys have any idea who owns that company?" Riley inquired as he gazed at the symbol, it was quite familiar.

Mr. Goodshow and Professor Carolina shook their head, while Lucian explained the scenario to the Aura Guardian trainee. "You see the company that had sponsored this ball and the event is a mystery. All we know is that this company is very rich, it invests at orphanage and Pokémon reserves, it owns some major museum, it gains its money by investing in some small time businesses that had grew since this company appeared three years ago, and it's own by two individuals, two people that we don't even know existed or their background at that." Lucian explained as a soothing music began to play.

"It seems it time to start." Mr. Goodshow stated as he stood up and walk towards the stage.

"Good evening everyone, I am glad that all of you could attend this event." Mr. Goodsow began causing everyone's attention to be diverted to him.

"Here it goes." Ash mumbled under his breath.

"For starters I would like to thank every single trainer and coordinator here for this event; I would like to thank the venue of this event, Royalty Hotel for accommodating us in this event, and lastly our sponsor, A.P.W.A, company for giving us the funding for this event as well." Mr. Goodshow then glanced at everyone once again to make sure that they were listening to him.

"A.P.W.A huh, do you know that this would happened Ash." Elena inquired as she glanced at Ash curiously.

"Don't look at me like that love, I might own that company but I don't handle the company's affair, I only help out if it's a major affair or something." Ash said, not knowing that his company was the one sponsoring the event.

'Via is going to get an ear full in the next corporate meeting.' Elena thought as she and Ash gazed at Mr. Goodshow one more time.

"This ball is in celebration of the founding of Sinnoh, because of this celebration we invite all trainers to stay for the week to participate in a beneficial tournament." The caused some mumbling and murmurs from the gathered trainers and coordinators. "Yes, there would be three Pokémon tournaments, a single tournament, a doubles tournament, and a Pokémon Contest, the winners of this tournament would be given cash prized of 100,000 in cash." Mr. Goodshow announced causing everyone to gasp in shock.

"Hey Ash, can our company afford that?" Elena inquired knowingly.

"Actually, yes they can. It's actually pocket change for us." Ash said as he gazed at Elena.

"Want to enter the doubles tournament." Ash asked with a soft smile.

"With you, anytime." Elena replied with a caring tone.

"Holy shit, 100,000 cash, that's one big prize." Barry exclaimed loudly causing everyone to nod in agreement.

"Whoever owns A.P.W.A, must be extremely rich if they could just hand off that amount of money to anyone." Sarah commented as she gazed at Jane. "Do you have any idea who owns this company?" Sarah asked silently.

"I wish," Jane mumbled under her breath. "The owners of this are such a secret that only one person knows who they are, that and this is the only company that didn't need my services." Jane stated quietly.

"Whoever those two are must really love their privacy." Sarah commented with an interesting gaze.

"Now, the registration forms will be handed to all of you later during the feast, for now let's all have a good time and dance." Mr. Goodshow said as a soft music erupts in the ballroom.

(Scene Change)

"Looks like Via made another business move that we aren't aware of." Elena said in a long sigh as she gave Ash a weak and rare glare. "You gave her too much power in the company, you know that." Elena stated sharply.

Ash sighed at that, Elena didn't really like his decision concerning Via. "I know that you don't like my decision about her, but she's the only one with the credentials that could run our company. " Ash explained in a defeated tone.

"I know that but still, she has too many privileges." Elena commented causing Ash to sigh again.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to her the next time I see her." Ash said trying to soothe Elena a bit. It didn't work.

"Not in this lifetime mister, I don't trust her one bit if it comes to you." Elena said as she embraced him forcefully and protectively." Your mine, I am not going to lose you to someone six years older than me." Elena stated in a determine tone.

Ash chuckled uneasily at that, she still hasn't forgotten about that little incident. "Don't worry love, you won't lose me, you worry too much. Via is just our business consultant and my gambling buddy, she doesn't mean that much to me." Ash exclaimed in soothing tone.

"I know that, but you mean so much to her and that's what worries me the most." Elena stated worriedly causing Ash to shook his head as he listen to the song that was playing, he smirked immediately the song that was currently playing was nostalgic.

"Hey Elena, listen to the song." Ash said as he slowly stood up, wanting to dance with her before the songs begins.

Elena closed her eyes as she listen to the melody of the music, her eyes widen as she forget the annoying woman that almost tear them apart as a wonderful memory concerning Ash flooded her mind. "This song, I know this song. This is the first song that we ever dance with." Elena said with a blissful smile as she glanced at Ash.

Ash chuckled as he extended his hands to him. "Let's forget about the world right now, let's forget the world that the two of us are living in, let's forget reality and enjoy each other, and dance to the song that made me realize my love to you." Ash said, silently inviting her to dance with him.

Elena chuckled softly at Ash's words as she grasped Ash's hand tightly. "Yes let's," Elena stated with a smile as Ash pulled her up gently causing their lips to touch momentarily resulting in soothing, quick kiss.

"Shall we then," Ash whispered as he pulled back and stared into her eyes.

Elena nodded as Ash gently guided her to the dance, which was already filled with a lot of people dancing in pairs. Ash quickly intertwined his right hand to her left hand; his left hand was lying on her waist while Elena's right hand was on his shoulder.

They looked at each other with admiration as the chorus played, giving Ash the signal to lead Elena in the dance.

(A/N: the songs that will be used in this and in the next chapter belongs to their artist, the writers of the song, the recording company, and the producers, please don't sue me, I repeat please don't sue me).

(P.S. Now that the safety crap is over, on with the story)

Closer You and I

Artist: Gino Padilla (If you guys are curious Filipino Artist).

Hey, there's a look in your eyes
Must be love at first sight
You were just part of a dream
Nothing more so it seemed
But my love couldn't wait much longer
Just can't forget the picture of your smile
'Coz everytime I close my eyes
You come alive

Ash and Elena hum as they glided to the dance floor, enjoying the sound of the music. As Ash and Elena glide elegantly in the dance floor, people can't help but stare at the couple as they dance together, oblivious of the world around them. As they stare at each other caringly and dance gently to the music, they can't help but smile blissfully.

The closer I get to touching you
The closer I get to loving you
Give it a time
Just a little more time
We'll be together
Every little smile
That special smile
The twinkle in your eye
In a little while
Give it a time
Just a little more time
So we can get closer
You and I

Ash can't get his eyes off her as he sang along with the music, delighting her greatly. After almost three years of being with her, after almost three years of their very hectic relationship, this were the few moments that he cherish the most, the moments that help them forget that the world exist, moments like this made him realized that no matter what, she was the one for him, he wouldn't settle for least or, if even possible, for more.

Then could I love you more
So much stronger than before
Why does it seem like a dream
So much more so it seems
I guess I found my inspiration
With just one smile, you take my breath away
So hold me close
And say you'll stay with me now

Elena was feeling complete ecstasy as her beloved led her to a wonderful waltz. It was times like this that made her realized that Ash was the man for her, it was times like this that she realized that she was, probably, the luckiest woman in the planet, of all the women that Ash met, he picked her and that was already the greatest blessing that Arceus had ever given her.

As the last lyric of the song was sang, the two dance sweetly and slowly, not breaking eye contact, as the room was flooded with a soft humming sound.

"You know what; I wish that my friends and yours actually see us. If they knew of our secret, it would be easier for us if that happen." Ash said softly in a loving tone.

Elena chuckled as Ash said those words. "I see that someone change their mind rather quickly," Elena commented teasingly as she sway her body according to how Ash moves.

"What could I say, dancing with you and this music changed my mind rather quickly." Ash said as the next music was played causing the lovely couple to dance in a waltz once again.

This would be an enjoyable night for the two of them, enjoyable and entertaining.

(Scene Change)

"That was fun." Misty commented as she sat together with the boys in there table, it has been an hour and a half since the dance began. Half of the female teens in the table were quite delighted that many boys found them attractive and asked them for a dance while the more mature ladies, Sarah, Cynthia, Jane, and Solidad found it quite annoying. Some of the boys on the other hand were quite delighted that a lot of girls had danced with them, with the exception of Paul who found it annoying, and for Brock and Justin who had not have a single dance tonight, causing them to be depress and cry (Anime Style).

"That was fun yet tiring." May commented as the girls nod in agreement.

"Easy for you to say, you didn't get your feet stepped on." Drew snidely stated causing Dawn to whack him behind the head.

"Would you stop teasing her, seriously you are sometimes worst than Paul." Dawn exclaimed causing Paul to look at her with disdain.

"Don't involve me with your stupidity, little girl." Paul stated coldly causing Dawn's eyes to twitch violently.

"If this weren't a formal event, I would have hit you by now." Dawn stated as she glared at Paul.

"Oh boy, there they go again, quarreling like brats." Jane stated as she drank a glass of water.

"They are just enjoying their childhood dear, be considerate." Henry gently said to Jane causing Jane to laugh softly yet cruelly.

"That was the luxury I never had the privilege to have, remember." Jane retorted as she glared at her father.

Delia automatically reacted at that disrespect that Jane gave her father. "You should respect your father more dearly." Delia stated causing Jane's attention to be diverted to the woman sited beside her father.

Before she could say anything, Adan beat her to the punch. "Trust me Del, the bastard deserve every bit of disrespect his receiving right now." Adan said as he drank a bottle of wine that came out of nowhere.

"Where the hell did you get that? If I recall correctly you didn't bring any wine, for once in your damn life." Natasha asked as she glanced at the bottle of wine in his hands.

Adan chuckled as he pointed at dance floor haphazardly. "My nephew gave it to me," Adan replied with a small smirk. It was quite fortunate that Ash and Elena was both dancing at the other side of the dance floor because they automatically look at where Adan's finger was pointing at.

That little statement also caused Delia to explode. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT MY SON IS HERE?" Delia exclaimed loudly causing everyone's attention to be diverted to the table of the adults, which was next to the table of the kids.

Adan wasn't fazed at her sister's yelling, after being with her for half of his life, he was quite use of her yelling. "Easy sister, it have to reason's why I didn't tell you, first reason, he is still a bit uncomfortable around you, especially that he knows that little secret of our group twenty years ago." Adan started causing Henry's eyes to widen.

"You told him that, how stupid could you be?" Henry exclaimed in shocked, further confusing the teens around them, what are they talking about.

Adan ignored Henry's outburst as he raise the battle of wine in his hands. "Second of all, he gave this wine which is fifty years old I may add." Adan stated gleefully with a goofy smile.

"So you didn't tell me that my son is here because he bought you off with a fifty year old wine." Delia exclaimed with a monotone voice.

"What do you expect?" Adan exclaimed as he poured another glass of wine to his drinking glass.

Delia sighed as she wiped the glass of wine from her brother's hands. "Ten years, we hadn't seen each other in ten years and you still hadn't change." Delia said as she drank wine. "How did my son get his hands in liquor like this, this is quite intoxicating." Delia exclaimed after tasting the quality wine.

Adan chuckle after hearing that statement, it's time for him to begin Ash's storyline." I have no idea, I just got reunited with my nephew a month ago and I'm already startled what kind of person he is." Adan momentarily chuckled as he remembers the first time he saw Ash and Elena together. "That kid has so many secrets that it reminds me of an incident that happen all those years ago." Adan concluded causing Delia and Henry to look at Adan like he was crazy while Natasha merely chuckle already knowing what kind of incident Adan was talking about, history was truly an interesting thing.

Adan was about to pour wine to his glass but was stop when a hard matter hit him in the head quite hard. "Okay Sarah, why did you throw an empty Poke ball in my head?" Adan asked as he gazed at Sarah, as he looked at Sarah he could have swore that he saw his life flashed before his eyes.

"I understand why you didn't tell Mrs. Ketchum." Sarah said rather quickly causing Adan to instantly forced Henry in front of him, using his old comrade as a human shield. Henry on the other hand was cursing Adan in his head as he stared at his second daughter, preparing to maim them to oblivion. "But why didn't you tell me, do you know how desperate I am to meet him again." Sarah stated threateningly as she glanced at her biological father and the person that she view as a father.

"He bought me off with wine." Adan exclaimed quickly causing Sarah's eyes to twitch dangerously.

Before Sarah could hurt Adan, Jane decided to speak, not wanting to make a scene. "Sit down idiot; you know how easy it is to manipulate Papa Dan." Jane said causing Sarah to glare at her

"I'm not asking you witch," Sarah sneered as she glanced momentarily at her eldest sister. "And I already know that, Papa Dan might be strong as an Aggron but he has an I'Q of a Slowpoke." Sarah exclaimed causing Adan to fake a cough.

"I finish two college courses at the top of my class; I do not have an I'Q of a Slowpoke." Adan argued indignantly.

"Fine, what about a common sense of rock." Sarah said teasingly.

"That I would agree on," Adan retorted with a satisfy smile, he would admit to himself that he was smart but he would also admit that he has a common sense of a fruit.

"So you and your sister are related to Ash," Paul inquired curiously as he gazed at the overly powerful girl in front of him.

Sarah and Jane almost spat a glassful of spit at that question. "We're not related to that brat." Jane stated quickly. 'Not yet anyway.' Jane added in her thoughts, knowing that Elena will have him as a husband in the near future, which was unfortunate for her and for Sarah.

"Yeah, you see we call Adan as Papa Dan because he was more of a father to us than that guy that his using as a shield against me." Sarah said pointing at Adan and Henry.

"That's putting it lightly." Jane snorted as she glanced at the dance floor. "Our real father was never a father to us to be exact." Jane stated causing Henry to look down in shame.

"Elena doesn't thing that way." Cynthia commented, she had a friendly relationship with Sarah and she already knew the members of her family. If her memory was correct, Elena still treats her blood father with respect.

"Well Elena is to kind-hearted for her own good, trust us me when I say this, Elena's the most kindhearted person you guys will ever meant." Jane commented with a small, jealous smile.

"Hey Gary, is Elena the same Elena…" Before Brock could finished his question, Gary already answered.

"Yes the three of them are related, we are currently sited with Ash's future sister-in-law." Gary stated causing Brock to nod dumbly, what a twist of fate.

"So you guys have another sister," Kenny asked curiously as he glanced at one of the greats of Pokémon history.

Sarah and Jane both smile at the mention of their younger sister. "The best way to described her is that, she's a complete angel, both inside and outside ." Sarah started with a smile.

"Yeah, I am actually proud to be related to her." Jane stated with a smile before glaring at the boys at the neighboring table. "And if any boys here get their eyes on her, I will rip your eyes and shoved it down your throats." Jane added causing the boys to shiver at that implication.

"You shouldn't worry about that witch; Elena doesn't have any interest in boys yet, that and she's only fifteen." Sarah remarked with a knowing tone. For once in her life, she was dead wrong.

"That coming from a person who has a crush in a fifteen year old boy doesn't mean much." Jane retorted with a grin.

At the mention of that, Sarah attention was once again diverted to Adan. "That reminds me, where is he?" Sarah asked in a threatening tone.

Before Adan could reply, Lucian, who had joined the group, interrupted. "If I may ask, what do you see in him Sarah?" Lucian asked as he glanced at his old friend.

Sarah giggled as she glanced at the leader of the elite four, her attention being diverted away from Adan much to his great comfort. "That's easy, I can't read him." Sarah answered confusing the group greatly.

"You have a crush on Ash because you can't read him." Dawn exclaimed in shock.

Sarah nodded and began elaborating. "A person like me who's an expert of reading people grave to find a person that we can't read. I became a trainer because I want to meet a person that I can't read like a book besides my family. After eight years of my journey, I had only found one person that I can't read and that's Ash, add to the fact that he is the most talented and the most handsome trainer I met is an added bonus." Sarah said with a blush.

"Come on now Sarah, Ash is like an open book." Misty stated, trying to discourage Sarah from pursuing Ash.

'I don't have a chance against her.' Some of the young teens thought as they glanced at Sarah.

'Whoa, I can't believe that his charms would make Sarah fall for him as well.' Cynthia and Solidad thought simultaneously.

'How lucky can a guy be?' The boys and even Paul thought.

'This is ironic.' Henry thought with a low smirked, excited at meeting this Ash guy.

'He grows up so fast.' Delia thought with a smile.

'Whoa, he collected the whole three sisters.' Natasha thought with a chuckle.

'Ash, you have the charms of your father but sadly the girls here will have their hearts broken. You already made your choice and it's a fine good one.' Adan thought sadly.

"He is not an open book, the guys has more secrets than an entire country combine." Sarah hit the mark at that statement.

"Yeah right," Max commented sarcastically.

"Actually Max, Sarah is right." Adan stated as he glanced everybody.

"For example, one of Ash's secrets is that he's a good dancer." Adan said causing the teens to burst out laughing.

"Yeah right, Ash and dancing doesn't mix." Barry stated between his laughs.

"You guys want to bet then." Adan said as he put a wad of cash in the table.

"Sure why not, I need extra money anyway." Barry stated as he place his entire wallet in the table. The whole table followed Barry's action, surprisingly even Paul put up a small amount of money against, the only two who didn't bet was Brock and Gary, the two of them already knew not to underestimate Ash, especially Gary who knew Ash could dance.

Adan smirked, this was too easy. "All of you kids bet that Ash can't dance right," The kids nodded in unison. Adan smile mischievously as he pointed at the dance floor. "Then look at where my finger is pointing and tell me that my nephew can't dance." Adan stated with a large smirked.

Every body in the table followed Adan's finger all the way to the dance floor, what they saw shocked them to the core.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Everybody said in unison, shock at what they saw.

In the dance floor, they could see Ash dancing gracefully and passionately with a white haired girl that most of them had only seen for the first time while the people who knew that white haired on the other hand was more shock than the rest of them, with the exception of five people.

"Bloody hell, what is Elena doing here?" Sarah asked, not believing her eyes.

"I believe that I won the bet." Adan said in a low yet cheerful tone. 'Those two owe me big time.' Adan thought with a smirk.

(Scene Change)

Ash and Elena smiled at each other as they waltz all across the ballroom, they didn't notice the time flew by as they dance merrily. The two of them were having such a great time as they change the paced of their movements depending on the beat of the melody of the music, that and they were clearly loving the passion and the radiant feeling that they feel with each other.

"How long have we been dancing?" Elena asked as she glanced at Ash lovingly.

"Don't know, I lost count at thirty minutes." Ash answered as he spun her around gently. Ash then suddenly turned her around and pulled her gently towards him, causing the two embraced.

"Guess what Elena, our friends had noticed us." Ash whispered to her causing her eyes to widen before giggling.

"How did you know?" Elena inquired curiously between her giggles.

"When I pulled you closed to me, I feel three kinds of Aura, jealousy, anger, and disbelief." Ash answered as the two of them unconsciously dance together in there embrace in a close and romantic way.

Elena chuckled at the as she laid her head on Ash's shoulder, not helping the feelings of her confused friends as well as the growing jealousy and confusion of Ash's friends. "So shall we begin the storyline of ours?" Elena asked excitedly but Ash merely shook his head.

"Will start tomorrow, let's just enjoy tonight." Ash said as he gently broke the embraced so that they could be in their original dancing position.

Elena smiled and nodded as the two continue their passionate waltz with each other.

(Scene Changed)

"Wow, just wow," Max mumbled coherently as ha watched Ash dance benevolently with that mysterious white haired girl.

Adan chuckled as he glanced at everyone at the table. "If you guys are curious, the white hair girl is Elena and the guy she's dancing with is my nephew, I think you guys knew him as Ash." Adan said with a chuckle.

"Wait a minute, that handsome guy is that Ash kid." Karen asked in surprised.

Adan nodded as he watched merrily his two favorite people dancing. "Yeah," Adan chuckled as he glanced at all the faces around the table, with the exception of those who knew of their secret. "I know what you guys are feeling and thinking, it is the same thing I felt and thought the first time I saw them together." Adan answered, causing everyone to look at him.

"You saw them together once, when?" Delia asked as she glanced at her brother.

"When did I and Ash met last time?" Adan asked in carefree manner.

"You said that you two met during the Twinleaf festival." Henry answered gazing at Adan in a calculative manner.

"Precisely, and who do you think was with him at that time?" Adan asked once again for the heck of it.

"That's easy, this two," Misty stated while pointing at Gary and Brock.

"Actually no," Gary commented, getting what Adan was headed.

'Ash, you dumb ass, you owe me for this.' Gary thought in a small grin. "Brock and I wasn't with Ash during the festival, we were actually stalking him." Gary stated, carefully choosing his words.

"Wait if you guys are not with him during the festival, then who was?" May asked, not liking where this conversation was heading.

Gary then pointed at Ash and Elena once again. "Ash was with her," Gary answered which cause several outbursts.

"WHAT?" The table shouted in unison, causing several heads to look at them momentarily before going back to their own business.

"You guys should keep your voices down, you'll make a scene." A commanding yet familiar voice said. The large group of people glanced at who said those words and was met by a sight of Ash and Elena, holding hands.

Ash scanned the table until he detected his uncle. "Hey uncle, mind if me and Elena can join." Ash asked which was answer by a mere thumbs up from Adan.
