Heading to Kiloude City

"So if we take this train...it'll take us to Lumiose Station and from there Kiloude City?"May and Serena were reading a Train Schedule while the others were talking to Korrina and the Professors.

"Meowth that's right!"They were surprised by Meowth jumping up above them before falling."I should really grab onto something when I do that."

"You alright Meowth?"

"I'm Okey-dokey!"

"So Ash who do you plan on using against Malva? Remember it's a four on four."

"I was planning on Squirtle and Buizel but I have a better idea."

"Who?"

"You'll see."

"Ash what do you plan on doing after you win?"

"I don't know, maybe when the time comes, I'll figure it out."

"Alright so we'll be watching from back home, be safe my boy."The group was saying bye to Professor Oak and Sycamore as they got to Lumiose Station.

"And I'll be cheering from my Lab."

"Say Korrina."

"Yeah?"

"Are you going back to your gym?"Korrina thought for a second before looking at Paul who was waiting impatiently for them to get a move on.

"Nah, I'll ask my Grandpa to fill in for a while."

"Alright this is so cool!"

"Korrina I noticed something, why wasn't I given a Mega Stone?"Serena sat next to the Shalour City Gym Leader making her sigh.

"We did as much research as we could and that's why we gave them to everybody but you, because you don't have a Pokemon that can Mega Evolve."

"But Clemont doesn't have a Manectric."

"Actually Clemont has a few Pokemon he said he has stored away, one of them is a Manectric."

"Well what Mega Stone do you have left?"

"An Altarianite."

"An Altairia..."

"What is it Serena?'

"Nothing, nothing. So when we get to Kiloude City Ash is going to battle the Elite Four?"

"I've been watching the News, everything is hype about Ash and Malva."

"Finally...Kiloude City."Ash yawned as they reached Kiloude City and stepped off the Train with the others.

"You ready Ashy-boy?"

"Yeah Ketchum remember how tough it was for me to battle Cynthia?"

"I'm going to be fine, as long as I have my Pokemon and I believe in them, I'll do great."

"Are you sure Ash? We could lend you some-"May was cut off by Max who shook his head and looked at Ash.

"You can do it Ash! And here's a tip my Dad gave me I think you should try: Every Advantage has a Disadvantage."

"Every Advantage has a Disadvantage...thanks Max you gave me an idea!"Ash began to run surprising his friends before they could stop him.

"KETCHUM WHERE ARE YOU GOING!"

"TO GET A POKEMON!"

"ASH!"Meowth and Pikachu began to run after their trainer before the others could stop them as well.

"PIKAPI!"

"Here you go Ash."

"Thanks Tracey."Ash swapped out one of his Pokemon and sent it to Tracey from the Poke Transfer in the Pokemon Center.

"Good luck, we'll all be rooting for you. And by all, I mean ALL of us."

"Thanks."

"Alright Ash so do you know what you're doing?"The group walked up to a Mansion like building as Meowth and Pikachu were walking next to Ash ready to battle.

"Of course, Meowth and Pikachu are you ready?"

"Pikachu."

"Pikachu said: YOU BETCHA! AND SO AM I!"

"I've heard of the Battle Maison, is Malva here already?"Before they could go inside the Battle Maison to see, a crowd of reporters suddenly surrounded Ash.

"ASH KETCHUM ARE YOU WORRIED YOU MIGHT LOSE TODAY?"

"ARE THOSE GIRLS YOUR GIRLFRIENDS?"

"ARE YOU ACTUALLY GOING TO USE A PIKACHU AND MEOWTH?"

"BUZZ OFF!"The reporters began to leave after annoying Paul to the brim with their constant questions for Ash.

"You heard the kid, leave us be."They began to film seeing Malva walk up to Ash showing the pure determination in his eyes."So kiddo are you ready to battle?"

"You know I am."
