Ash Descends, Red Ascends
The Concert
Okay, so I didn't mention how'd they look like in the first chapter, so I'll just write it here.
Ash/Alex, now no longer wears his hat, instead he wore a long-sleeved blue jacket with a hood, wearing black jeans and brown boots, often carries his female pikachu with a heart shaped tail on his shoulder, his thunderbolt scars on his face were gone because of the accident. Also goes by the name 'Coral' when singing around the world. Wears a symbol with a blue crystal with a gold ring outside during the tournament.
Luna, has light blue hair that ends with red, also has blue eyes, her partner is her Oshawott with an everstone, she wears a blue shirt and a dark blue mini skirt, wearing a small blue hat with white high heels. Goes by the name 'Sapphire' when singing. Also wears a symbol like a drop of water in the middle of her chest when revealed as an elite four.
Amber, has orange hair and orange eyes, wears a white long sleeved jacket and jeans, also wears a fire symbol on the chest when he's revealed as one of the elite four (Which has never happened). Uses his original name in concerts.
Raven, has dark blue hair and black eyes, wears a black sleeveless shirt with black gloves, normally wears elbow protection pads, also wears black boots, with a black fire symbol surrounded by a gold ring.
Diana, has light pink hair ending with silver, has red eyes and usually ties her hair up to two high ponytails, she wears a pink shirt and pink mini jeans, also wears a pink scarf and white long high heel boots right up to the knee. Wears a symbol shaped like a pink heart in one of her ponytails. Uses the name 'Ruby' in singing.
"Man-oh-man-oh-man I can't believe they're here!" Misty chirped all around along with Bonnie.
"The Crystals! I love them!" Bonnie chirped, sitting in the pokemon stadium.
"I think Ruby's the best!" Serena piped up.
"No way! Onyx is the best!" Dawn yelled.
"Sapphire's the best!" Bonnie yelled.
"No, freaking way! I think Coral's the best!" Misty yelled.
"Heck, like nuh-uh, Amber's the bestest one!" May yelled.
"I could never understand girls," Stephan sighed.
"Tell me about it," Brock sweatdropped while smiling awkwardly.
Flashback…
"We're, finally, here…!" Bonnie said as she burst out she plane door.
"It wasn't that long," Serena sighed, with Pikachu sighing as well.
"Pika…"
"Are we registering at the pokemon center?" Brock asked.
"Well, do you want to camp out here?" Misty joked, crossing her arms. "Seriously."
"Race you in!" Bonnie yelled as she ran into the pokemon center with Iris.
Iris panted and got next to Bonnie, "I'm not letting you!"
"Oh, you're so going dow-" Bonnie paused because she bumped into something and fell back. "Ah!"
She was about to fall, but someone caught her hand to prevent her from falling to the ground.
Wait.
Not someone.
Something.
Bonnie looked see what caught her, she saw a pink, blue and white antenna circling her hand.
"Thanks…?" Bonnie looked to see where the antenna came from, and she saw a sylveon. "Serena? Did you let your sylveon out…?"
"Um… Bonnie, that's not my sylveon," Serena said coming here, who heard Bonnie's question.
"Wow, thanks, sylveon," Bonnie petted the sylveon who saved her, then a voice interrupted them.
"Where the hell did you teleport my sylveon?!"
"I'm sorry! Espeon's just too eager to use teleport!"
"When are you to give him a break?!"
"Pika pikachu!"
They looked to the source of the voices and found a girl with light pink hair tinted with silver at the end tied into two high ponytails, a girl with light blue hair with red at the end, a raven haired boy, a dark blue haired boy, a orange haired boy and a female pikachu on the raven haired boy's shoulders.
"Um… can you keep it down please?" Nurse Joy said to the group.
"Oh, sorry Nurse Joy!" The blue haired girl said.
Bonnie walked up to them, bring the sylveon with her, "Excuse me… is this your sylveon?"
The pink haired girl turned around in instinct, and hugged sylveon closely to her protectively, "Where did you find her?!"
"Right here in the pokemon center," Bonnie said. "I'm Bonnie!"
"I'm… uh…" The girl hesitated. "My name is… Alice!"
Before Bonnie could respond, the orange haired boy pushed them all away saying : "Nice-to-meet-you-we-have-to-go!"
"Okay… what was that?" Serena asked.
"I don't know, I just gave her back her sylveon and the orange haired dude just pushed them away!" Bonnie shook her head.
I swear I have saw that man with a pikachu before… no way. Serena thought.
Pikachu, seeing Serena lost in thoughts, "Pika?"
"I'm fine, Pikachu," Serena assured him.
"Nurse Joy, I would like to register a room please," Iris said.
"Sure thing! Please hand me your pokedex," Nurse Joy said while giving some supplies to an nearby Audino. "Iris, your room number is 67, on the fifteenth floor."
"The fifteenth floor?" Clemont asked. "But that's the champion and elite's floor!"
"Because we ran out of rooms, and the elites gladly let you and your friends stay in their floor," Nurse Joy explained.
"Well, thank them for us, will ya'?" Clemont said.
"I can't wait to see our room! Oh-boy-oh-boy-oh-boy!" Iris said excitedly, and pulled Clemont to the lift.
"Iris! We have to wait for the others!" Clemont struggled to break free of Iris's grasp.
"Do we really have to sing this?" Diana moaned as she laid her face on her bed.
"It's this or nothing," Alex said.
"It's not that bad," Luna said.
"Yeah, like when I put chili in your cereal," Diana moaned.
"Wait, what did you do?!" Luna yelled.
"Diana! Stop using my Zorua for once!" Raven yelled.
"I'm not! Give me a break! I was trying to relax here!" Diana yelled from outside.
The group looked at the Diana on the bed with confusion, the 'Diana' on the bed jumped and morphed back to Zorua with a everstone on it's collar.
"Zorua!" Raven yelled, as he tried to get Zorua back to it's pokeball, of course he didn't want to…
"Pi… ka.. Chu!" Pikachu charged up with a thunderbolt and shocked Zorua, thus, he fainted.
"Thanks, Pikachu, but now I have to heal him," Raven said sweat dropping, why are girls so brutal at times?
Pikachu just crossed her arms and huffed.
Alex just sat on his sofa and thought with his head resting on his hand. Have I met that blonde girl before?
"Earth to Alex~" Amber said waving his hand in front of Alex.
"Um… did I miss anything?" Alex snapped out of his thought.
"Apart from you missing the prank that Raven's Zorua just pulled," Amber thought. "So, yeah."
"Okay, okay, okay," Alex said. "Are the challengers settled down yet?"
"The should be coming-" Luna stopped because of yelling outside.
"This place is amazing!"
"You don't want to disturb the champion and the elites, do you?!"
"I don't care!"
"They're here," Diana sighed from outside. "Should we greet them?"
"And expose our identities? No way," Amber said.
"This room is amazing!" Bonnie yelled as she jumped aerial ace style on her bed. "Can we visit the champion and the elites?"
"We literally just got here," Serena sighed. "I think we should have a simple battle."
"Why don't I battle you, Serena?" Cilan asked.
"You're on!"
"Already?" Cress asked lazily.
"You know how he is," Chili yawned.
"Sylveon, time to shine!" Serena said as she called her fairy pokemon.
"Pansage, you're up!" Cilan called his most trusting partner.
"Begin!" Cress yelled, and both sides started to attack.
"Pansage, bullet seed!"
"Dodge it, Sylveon! Use fairy wind!"
"Use dig to dodge!"
"Oh no you don't! Moonblast that hole!"
"Pansage, get out of there! Now use solar beam!"
"Use attract!"
"What?" Bonnie looked at Serena dumbfounded; she hardly ever uses that move.
"Not in good taste! Pansage, dig again!"
"Draining kiss!"
Bonnie and Clemont collapsed anime style, "When did Sylveon learn that move?!"
"Luna! You're going down!" Diana yelled across the field.
"Bring it! Oshawott, bring them down!" Luna yelled.
"Luxray! Get them!"
"Is that Luxray?" Amber asked the pokemon, who has a mega stone on it's collar.
"It is! Luxray, use electric field!"
"Cancel it with hydro pump! Use razor shell!"
"Thunderbolt! And use electro ball!"
"No fair! You one-hit KO'd my oshawott!" Luna huffed.
"Come on! A water type against an electric type? That's a fairy-electric-psychic type elite for ya'!" Diana shot a mischievous grin at her.
"Just that I'm a water and flying type specialist that doesn't mean you can gang up on me!" Luna huffed again.
"I didn't gang up on you!" Diana yelled.
"I, want, a, rematch!" Luna yelled, calling her greninja.
Diana called her sylveon, who was still mad about the teleporting thing.
"Sylve-sylveon-sylve!" Sylveon growled.
"Now, now, Sylveon, I know you're mad about that incident," Diana glared at Alex when she said the last word. "And you should be aware that we can all understand you."
By the way, Alex and his friends were all psychics and auras, so they can use all psychic moves like psychic or protect, even psywave. Aura allows them to use aura sphere and understand pokemon, also allows them to search someone's mind, it enables them to let them memory link with other people.
Alex laid a hand on his face, "It's either our aura is down, or she's just speaking 'sylveon' over and over again."
"She's doing it," Diana chuckled. "Wait… I thought I told Luxray to use electro ball just now… where did it land?"
Also as on cue, an explosion was heard at the other battlefield balcony at the other room, "Go figure," Amber said scratching his head.
"My bad…" Diana moaned, grabbing her own Espeon. "Teleport me over there."
As soon as she reached there, she was greeted by a group of dumbstruck faces, "Uh… sorry about the electro ball," Pulling her scarf higher to prevent them from recognizing her.
"Sylveon! Use-" Before Serena can finish, an electro ball came from nowhere and slapped sylveon to the ground. "Sylveon!"
"What happened?!" Bonnie asked. "Pikachu?"
Pikachu shook his head, "Pika pika!"
When Serena returned her sylveon, a girl appeared with an Espeon out of nowhere.
"Uh… sorry about the explosion," She said, and disappeared.
"What was that…?" Clemont asked, looking at the massive crater where the attack hit. "That was one powerful electro ball."
"Pika-pika-pika!" Pikachu laughed happily as Alex rubbed her tummy. "Pika…"
"Is it time for the tournament?" Alex asked, letting go of Pikachu, but she isn't done yet.
"Pika! Pikapi! Pika!"
"Oh, you want some more?" Alex said with a evil(?) grin, and tackled Pikachu tickling her tummy.
"Let's just get ready," Raven said, getting ready his badge. "Why do we have to do 'massive' entrances?"
"I kinda like it," Amber said, getting his delphox and flareon ready, getting on his platform.
"And I have to get my Espeon to use psywave to get my entrance," Alex said, getting on to his own platform.
And also, they use another name for leagues, Alex's for Red, Amber's is Flare, Raven's is Dark, Diana's is Scarlet, and Luna's is Blue.
"And now, we welcome the elites of Johto!"
"They're coming!" Bonnie jumped up and down on her seat, startling Dedenne a little.
Mr Goodshow said through the mike, "And now, we welcome the elites of Johto!"
"First up, we have Dark of the elite four! Please give him a welcome!"
Raven's pedestal slowly rose, he just crossed his arms in annoyance as he signaled his pokemon to fire dark pulse in the air.
"As you can see, he specialises in dark and ghost type pokemon!"
"We love you!"
"Awesome!"
"Next we welcome the second of the elite four! Flare!" The crowd cheered even louder, which caused Raven to wince a little.
"Hi everybody!" Amber wove his hands as his pokemon used flamethrower around him. "Welcome to the Takedown League!"
"Flare! Flare! Flare!" The crowd cheered, Amber shook his hands to show the challengers his appreciation.
"Oh! What a heated entrance! He specialises in bug, grass and fire type pokemon!"
"Omigosh!" Chili yelled. "I have almost no chance in beating him at this point!"
"I think I may win…" Cress smiled awkwardly at his brother's 'meltdown'.
"Now we have the third of the elite four! Please welcome, Blue!"
"Welcome!" Luna smiled, a staraptor and a unfezant used minor gust to sweep the field.
"This is some gust!" Serena grabbed on her hat in case it flew away, Pikachu had to cling onto Serena, which she soon grabbed Pikachu into her arms.
"Pika pikachu!"
"She specialises in water and flying type pokemon! Keep your grasp and fire types away from her!"
"And the final of the elite four! Scarlet!"
Diana appeared in mid air, a blue light surrounding her, and she's sitting cross legged in mid air.
She slowly opened her eyes and stood up with one leg behind, her eyes glowed blue and lifted a couple pokemon up.
"My elgyem!"
"Slurpuff?!"
"Dedenne! Get down here!"
"Amazing! A psychic type pokemon can be so powerful!" Iris yelled.
"Oh! This is amazing indeed! Oh, folks! Keep your water, dragon, poison and fighting pokemon out of her way! She specialises in psychic, fairy and electric types! What a combination!"
"F-f-f-fairy types?!" Iris yelled.
"Fairy types!" Serena yelled.
"And… the person that you have been all been waiting for… the champion of Johto! Champion Red!"
"Red! Red! Red! Red! Red!" The crowd yelled, they were all excited to see the champion.
"Welcome, challengers from all regions!" Alex yelled, with Diana handing him a portable mike with her psychic abilities.
"Does he look… familiar to you?" Cilan asked. "It's like a recipe without an unknown ingredient!"
"He does… wait… he's dead…" Misty thought. "Do you think…?"
"No, of course not…" Serena shook her head, but her heart regained hope of Ash being alive, she looked at Red, she blushed, why does she have feelings for him…?
"Okay, so the rules of this tournament are simple, one, there are sixteen rounds in total! Pokemon substitutions are allowed; every round, no matter which round, challengers are required to use six pokemon each round!" Alex said cheerfully.
"Mega evolutions are allowed! Any psychic or aura challengers, are not allowed to use your ability to assist your pokemon in battle! As for an example…" Amber said as he used psychic on himself, floating towards the champion's seat.
"Is your name Trip? Your most powerful pokemon is… Serperior! Champion of the Unova league!" Amber said, using psychic to levitate one of Trip's pokeball.
"How did you know?" Trip asked.
"Aura users," Alain shrugged beside him.
"Oh! It's the champion of the Kalos region!" Luna yelled. "I hope to see your mega charizard in battle!"
Alex on the other hand, was thinking, "Have I seen them before? They look awkwardly familiar…"
"As you know, the Crystals will be performing here tonight! Autographs are not allowed!" Diana said, using Espeon to teleport them back.
"That Scarlet does seem familiar," Bonnie thought. "Ooh! I got her sylveon back! We've met them before!"
"Does that mean…" Cilan thought, as a light appeared in front of them.
"Omigosh!" Serena yelled.
"Diana, did you bring your Espeon to heal…?" Alex asked, rubbing his head.
"I did, she's new at teleporting," Diana shrugged, then looked at the group. "Uh oh…"
"You're an elite?!" Bonnie yelled.
"Hey…" Alex waved awkwardly, then looked at Serena and blushed.
"Someone's in love," Amber teased.
"Shut it, or I'll devolve your flareon," Alex snapped, Amber's pokeball even started shaking.
"H-hi…" Serena murmured, blushing, then snapped out of it. 'Does this mean I'm not in love with Ash anymore…?'
"Hi," Alex whispered.
Alex was about to ask for her name, but Amber and Raven pulled him away. "You remember what we have to do tonight?!"
"Uh… bye! My name's Alex!" Alex yelled before getting pulled back by the two.
"My name's Serena…" Serena said softly. "Bye…"
"New plan, we're singing your favourite song," Diana snapped when she saw the crowd, Luna and her are wearing silver silk gloves, long white high heels, a blue and red diamond bracelet, a purple cape and blue and red dresses.
"You mean… Pokemon?" Alex asked, adjusting his own crystal on his chest, he was wearing a sleeveless white shirt with a red short sleeved jacket above the elbow outside. He was also wearing black fingerless gloves.
Raven and Amber were wearing the same, just black and orange.
"Just get on the pedestal," Alex moaned, getting his mike ready (The ear ones).
These were the same pedestals that they stood this morning, this time they were facing the crowd in a half circle shape.
End Of Flashback…
"It's starting~!" Bonnie squealed.
"Now, we have… the Crystals!"
The five pedestals were dark, until Alex's on the right which lit up, started first.
"I want to be the very best, like no one ever was, to catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause!"
Then Amber's lit up, meaning Alex's dimmed down.
"I will travel across the land, searching far and wide, teach Pokemon to understand, the power that's inside!"
"Pokemon! gotta catch them all!" Luna sang in the background.
"It's you and me, I know it's my destiny, Pokemon, oh, you're my best friend, in a world we must defend!" Raven sang.
"Pokemon! Gotta catch 'em all!" Luna chorused again. "A heart so true! Our courage will pull us through!"
"You teach me and I'll teach you! Po-ke-mon, gotta catch 'em all!" Diana sang.
All the pedestals lit up at once, making the fans scream.
"Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place
Come with me, the time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream!"
"Pokemon gotta catch 'em all!"
"It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
Pokemon, oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokemon (gotta catch em all) a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
"You teach me and I'll teach you!"
"Po-ke-mon, gotta catch 'em all!"
"Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all...
Gotta catch 'em all!"
"Gotta catch 'em all!"
Diana finished the song panting, the others looked tired as well.
"Thank you everyone!" They all yelled, they looked at each other with a smirk.
"Zorua, shadow ball!" The dark pokemon shot a dark ball in the air. And Luna took the signal.
"Oshawott! Razor shell!" The oshawott jumped up and sliced the shadow ball in half.
"Use attract!" Diana yelled, and the hearts flew right around the half shadow balls.
"Flamethrower!" Amber yelled, a flareon spun around while jumping in mid air, shooting a flamethrower out.
"Wow…" The fans gasped in awe.
A familiar voice came to Pikachu's ears.
"Pikachu! Electro ball!"
A yellow electricity ball flew up, hitting the shadow ball with the hearts of attract, and exploded, making the hearts fly around the fans.
"Pikapi! Pikapi!" Pikachu yelled, recognising his trainer's call.
"Pikachu, what's wrong?" Serena asked, looking at the stage closely. "Oh, Pikachu! There's another female pikachu on stage! Why don't you make friends with her later?"
"Pika pika…" Pikachu piped down.
"That was awesome!" Bonnie yelled on her bed. "I even recorded it!"
"It was satisfying," Clemont sighed.
"Wonder how Alex and his friends enjoyed it?" Serena asked. "I think they'd be so excited!"
"That's done," Alex groaned as he laid flat on his bed.
"I am not excited," Amber moaned.
"Who's up for a drink?" Diana asked.
"Already?" They asked. "Let's go!"
