Ash was in front of his opponent, Cameron. The referee called out "Cameron will call out his Pokemon first have the first move! Ready? Battle Begin!" Cameron then threw his Pokeball "Hydreigon, go!" and then the three headed dracnic Pokemon roared and got ready for battle.

Ash then threw his Pokeball while saying "Incineroar, go!"

As Incineroar emerged from the Poké Ball, it let out a fierce roar, ready to take on the formidable Hydreigon. The two Pokémon locked eyes, each sizing up the other.

Cameron called out his first move, "Hydreigon, use Dragon Rush!"

Hydreigon charged at Incineroar, its three heads snarling as it prepared to slam into the Fire/Dark-type Pokémon. But Incineroar was ready, quickly sidestepping the attack and countering with a powerful Flame Charge.

Hydreigon roared in pain as the flames engulfed it, but it quickly regained its composure and retaliated with a Dragon Pulse attack. The blast hit Incineroar head-on, sending it tumbling back several feet.

Ash gritted his teeth, knowing that Hydreigon was a tough opponent to beat. He quickly called out his next move, "Incineroar, use Darkest Lariat!"

Incineroar charged towards Hydreigon, its body enveloped in dark energy. Hydreigon tried to dodge, but Incineroar was too fast. It landed a devastating hit, causing Hydreigon to stumble back.

Cameron wasn't ready to give up yet. "Hydreigon, use Hyper Voice!"

Hydreigon let out a deafening roar, causing the ground to shake. Incineroar winced in pain, but it didn't back down. It lunged forward, using its claws to swipe at Hydreigon's weak spot. The attack landed, and Hydreigon let out a pained cry.

Cameron knew that he was in trouble. He tried to come up with a plan, but before he could, Incineroar charged at Hydreigon and delivered a powerful Cross Chop attack, knocking Hydreigon out cold.

The referee raised his flag "Hydreigon is unable to battle, Incineroar wins!" The crowd exploded in cheers for the Alola Champion. Cameron returned Hydreigon and then spoke "You are strong, but I will still win the match." Cameron threw another Pokeball on the field which released Samurott.

The battle between Ash's Incineroar and Cameron's Samurott began with both Pokemon staring each other down, waiting for the right moment to strike.

"Alright, Incineroar, let's start things off with a Flare Blitz!" Ash commanded his Pokemon.

Incineroar roared as flames erupted from its body and charged towards Samurott with tremendous speed. However, Samurott was quick to react and dodged the attack with a swift jump to the side.

"Nice dodge, Samurott! Now, let's counter with a Razor Shell!" Cameron shouted.

Samurott charged towards Incineroar, its shell glowing with a sharp blue light. It slammed into Incineroar with great force, sending it flying back a few feet.

"Incineroar, are you okay?" Ash called out worriedly.

Incineroar stood up and growled, seemingly unfazed by the attack. "Let's go for a Darkest Lariat!" Ash commanded.

Incineroar spun rapidly, generating a dark aura around itself, and charged towards Samurott with great speed. The powerful attack landed, sending Samurott tumbling backwards.

But Cameron wasn't going to give up that easily. "Samurott, use Aqua Jet!" he shouted.

Samurott was quick to recover and launched itself at Incineroar with incredible speed. The attack hit Incineroar head-on, causing it to stagger back.

"Incineroar, hang in there! Use Cross Chop!" Ash yelled.

Incineroar leaped into the air and brought its fists down on Samurott, dealing a critical hit. Samurott was left dazed and weakened by the attack.

"Finish this with a Fire Blast!" Ash shouted.

Incineroar let out a mighty roar as it charged up a huge ball of fire in its mouth. It then unleashed the fiery blast at Samurott, who was unable to dodge in time.

The attack hit Samurott directly, causing a massive explosion that sent it flying across the battlefield.

The referee raised his flag "Samurott is unable to battle, Incineroar wins!" Cameron was in a state of panic as he realized he has just one Pokemon while his opponent has three left. Cameron threw another Pokeball on the field which released Lucario.

The battle raged on as Ash's Incineroar faced off against Cameron's formidable Lucario. Both trainers looked determined, with sweat dripping down their foreheads as they strategized their next moves.

Cameron shouted, "Lucario, use Aura Sphere!"

Lucario charged up a ball of energy in front of its paws and then launched it at Incineroar. Ash called out, "Incineroar, dodge and use Darkest Lariat!"

Incineroar nimbly dodged the Aura Sphere and then spun around, creating a dark vortex around itself. It charged towards Lucario, slamming into it with its powerful attack.

Cameron gritted his teeth as he watched his Pokemon take a hit. "Lucario, use Dragon Pulse!"

Lucario unleashed a powerful blast of energy at Incineroar, causing it to stagger backwards. Ash quickly regained his footing and called out, "Incineroar, use Cross Chop!"

Incineroar charged towards Lucario with its fists held high, striking the aura Pokemon with a powerful attack that left it reeling. Cameron's eyes widened in surprise as he watched his Pokemon take a hit.

But Cameron wasn't giving up that easily. "Lucario, use Bone Rush!"

Lucario charged towards Incineroar, its paws glowing with energy as it struck Incineroar with a barrage of bone attacks. Ash winced as he watched his Pokemon take a beating, but he wasn't about to give up.

"Incineroar, use Flamethrower!"

Incineroar unleashed a stream of flames towards Lucario, who managed to dodge most of it but still took some damage. Cameron called out, "Lucario, use Close Combat!"

Lucario charged towards Incineroar with blinding speed, striking it with a flurry of punches and kicks. Incineroar staggered backwards, but then regained its footing and retaliated with a powerful Darkest Lariat.

The two Pokemon continued to trade blows, with neither one willing to back down. But in the end, it was Incineroar who emerged victorious, striking the final blow with a powerful Cross Chop.

Ash let out a whoop of joy as Incineroar returned to its Pokeball. "Incineroar, you battled well." Cameron smiled and nodded in respect, "Good battle. Your Incineroar is truly a formidable opponent."

Ash grinned back, "Thanks, Cameron. You're an amazing trainer too." He clipped Incineorar's Pokeball to his belt and walked out of the filed with a thunderous applause. But he did not acknowledge the audience as that was the mask he put, the mask of an unknown.

Ash walked in the corridor and soon saw Elesa, his girlfriend, smiling at him at the exit to the corridor on the right connecting the corridor with the first floor hall. Ash smiled at her and walked to reach her.

Elesa smiled at Ash "Ash, you were amazing! Even though the traitors win in sweeps, your sweep is somehow different as the traitors are ruthless in battle while you do not try to seriously injure Pokemons which is not needed."

Ash walked to reach her and nodded "Yes, from what I know, they are very ruthless. I want my Pokemons to win matches and in matches I gauge the opponent's strength while having my Pokemon attack with a move so the move power is tailored for the opponent's power."

Elesa nodded "That is a good thing, Ash." Elesa kissed Ash on the cheek and then parted. Ash was happy that he had a supermodel as his girlfriend.

Unbeknownst to Ash and Elesa, Misty and Lillie were watching.

Misty whispered to Lillie "Looks like Ash found a girlfriend. I am sad as I love Ash and I wish I was Ash's partner."

Lillie frowned "I am very disappointed that Ash and Elesa have romantic relations with each other."

Misty and Lillie turned and walked away and then went to the stairs. They then climbed up the stairs to reach the VIP box. Misty and Lillie entered the VIP box while they were sulking. Gladion rushed to Lillie who was very sad.

Gladion asked "Lillie and Misty, what is wrong?"

Lillie spoke "Gladion, I am sad that Ash's girlfriend is Elesa as I wanted to be his girlfriend."

Misty nodded "I am also disappointed that Ash who was very close to me chose Elesa instead of me."

Gladion furiously spoke "I see, we three better leave the palace for Alolan Elites and Champions. I am not staying with Ash as he made my little sister, Lillie, sad."

Misty frowned "I guess it is better that I spend less time with Ash. I will leave the palace."

Lillie looked up "I will also leave the palace."

Kiawe walked to the three who were furious. He realized that they found out about Ash and Elesa's secret relationship. Gladion growled "How can you not tell us about wha was happneing between Ash and Lillie?"

Kiawe sighed "That is because you three would be would be disappointed if you knew. Now, you three want to leave the palace. So be it." Misty, Lillie, and Gladion then turned and walked away.

Misty, Lillie, and Gladion then turned and walked away and Misty, Lillie, and Gladion soon left the VIP box. Misty, Lillie, and Gladion then made their way out of the stadium.

Gladion spoke "Misty, we three can go and stay in a mansion that Aether Paradise owns in Malie City instead of staying with Ash."

Misty nodded "Yes, I will stay with you two in the mansion."

As they made their way out of the stadium, Gladion could feel Lillie's sadness radiating off of her. He put a comforting hand on her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Lillie. We'll find a way to make you happy again."

Misty nodded in agreement, "Yeah, we'll stick together and make sure we all have each other's backs."

Lillie gave a small smile, grateful for her friends' support. "Thank you both. I just wish things were different."

Gladion looked at Misty and then at Lillie. "We can't change what has already happened, but we can control how we react to it. Let's stay positive and focus on what we can do."

Misty added, "And who knows, maybe we'll even find someone better for you than Ash, Lillie."

Lillie blushed at the thought but then said, "I just want to be happy, and seeing Ash with someone else... it hurts."

Gladion hugged his sister tightly. "I know, but we'll get through this together. And who knows, maybe Ash will realize what he's missing out on and come crawling back."

Misty giggled, "Or maybe he'll be too busy being a champion to notice."

The three of them shared a laugh before making their way to reach the palace where they would pack their belongings before going to the mansion. The three spoke about some other topics like Pokemon battling and in some time, they reached the palace.

As they entered the palace, they were greeted by some of the other trainers who had also participated in the tournament. Gladion nodded at them politely, but he could tell that something was off.

Misty noticed his unease and asked, "Is everything okay, Gladion?"

Gladion sighed, "I just can't believe that Ash would keep something like this from us. We thought we knew him so well."

Lillie added, "It feels like he's been living a double life. I wonder what else he's been hiding from us."

Misty put a hand on Lillie's shoulder, "Let's not jump to conclusions. Maybe there's a good reason why he didn't tell us about his relationship with Elesa."

Gladion looked at her skeptically, "I doubt it. But I guess we'll never know."

They made their way to their rooms to pack their belongings. As they were packing, Lillie spoke up, "Do you think we'll ever see Ash again?"

Misty replied, "Of course we will. We're all trainers, and we'll run into each other at tournaments and battles."

Gladion added, "But we don't have to be friends with him if we don't want to. We can still be successful trainers without him."

Lillie nodded, "I know. I just wish things were different."

They finished packing and made their way to the mansion in Malie City. As they went, they tried to focus on the positives - they were going to a beautiful mansion, they had each other, and they were all successful trainers. They would find a way to move forward, even if it meant doing it without Ash.

Ash had spent some time with Elesa and then he parted ways with her and he was happy about spending time with Elesa. Ash soon made his way to his palace and then entered the palace where he walked and reached his room.

Ash spent some time thinking about his relationship with Elesa and should he reveal his relationship to Misty, Lillie, and Gladion. Ash then heard a knock and then Ash said "You can enter."

Ash saw that Kiawe entered the room and he spoke solemnly "Misty, Lillie, and Gladion have left the palace. They are sad that you have a relationship with Elesa. Misty and Lillie wanted to be in a relationship with you instead of Elesa."

Ash spoke, "I used to have a strong bond with Misty and we both loved each other but we never proposed to each other. However, I met Elesa and I was attracted to her a lot as she is a stunning attractive supermodel with an amazing personality."

Kiawe looked at Ash with a mix of sympathy and concern. "I understand, Ash, but it seems like your relationship with Elesa has caused some hurt feelings among your friends. Misty and Lillie are important to you, and they may need some time to process this."

Ash sighed, "I know, and I feel terrible about hurting them. But I can't deny my feelings for Elesa."

Kiawe nodded, "I understand that too, but you have to consider how your actions affect those around you. Maybe you should talk to Misty, Lillie, and Gladion and try to explain how you feel."

Ash nodded thoughtfully, "You're right. I need to talk to them and try to make things right."

Kiawe smiled, "That's a good plan. And remember, your friends care about you and want you to be happy, but they also need to feel valued and respected."

Ash nodded, "I understand. I'll go talk to them and try to make things right."

With that, Ash got up from his bed and headed out of the room to find his friends. He knew that it wouldn't be easy, but he was determined to make things right with them. Ash walked and soon left his palace.

Ash released Pidgeot and soon embarked on Pidgeot who flew up high and then Ash was soon able to spot Misty, Lillie, and Gladion near the mansion. Ash then said "Pidgeot, descend near the mansion." and Pidgeot then descended to the mansion and Ash disembarked from Pidgeot to stand in front of Misty, Lillie, and Gladion.

Misty spoke "We both loved each other a lot and had crushes on each others. Why then did you choose Elesa to be your girlfriend?"

Ash nodded "Misty, you are indeed beautiful and I love you a lot romantically and sexually. But I felt something else for Elesa, I feel alive when I spend time with Elesa as she is a stunning attractive supermodel."

Misty looked hurt, "So our love meant nothing to you?"

Ash frowned "No, I love you a lot but you are like the girl next door while Elesa is a rare combination of amazing beauty with an amazing personality."

Misty's eyes filled with tears, "I can't believe this, Ash. I thought we had something special."

Ash felt a pang of guilt as he saw Misty's pain. "Misty, please understand that it wasn't an easy decision for me. I care about you a lot, but my feelings for Elesa are different. I hope you can still be my friend and accept my relationship with Elesa."

Misty spoke up "If you want a supermodel to be your girlfriend, I will become a supermodel to make sure that you are interested in me more than Elesa."

Ash was taken aback by Misty's sudden proposal. "Misty, that's not necessary. You don't have to change who you are just to make me happy. I care about you no matter what."

Misty wiped away her tears and looked up at Ash, "But I want to be the one you love romantically, not just as a friend. I don't want to lose you to Elesa."

Ash sighed, "Misty, I can't change my feelings for Elesa. I don't want you to change yourself for me either. You are amazing just the way you are and I value our friendship a lot. I hope you can accept my relationship with Elesa and still be my friend."

Misty refused "I will become a supermodel and make you more interested in me than with Elesa. I will change my personality to be better than Elesa and make sure I am more beautiful than Elesa to make you my partner."

Ash could see that Misty was determined to win him over and it made him feel uneasy. He didn't want Misty to change who she was just to please him. "Misty, please don't do that. You don't have to change yourself to make me happy. I care about you as a friend, and I want you to be happy with who you are."

Lillie spoke up, "Ash is right, Misty. You shouldn't change yourself just to impress someone else. You are beautiful and amazing just the way you are, and you should be proud of that."

Gladion added, "I understand that this is hard for you, Misty. But you shouldn't sacrifice your own happiness just to win someone's love. You deserve someone who loves you for who you are, not for what you can become."

Misty looked at Ash's eyes "I want to become a supermodel for my sake and I am determined now to make sure that I become one."

Ash could see the determination in Misty's eyes, and it worried him. He didn't want her to change herself just to please him. "Misty, please don't do this just for me. You should become a supermodel if that's what you really want, not just to win my love."

Misty shook her head, "I want to become a supermodel because I want to be good enough for you. I want to make you happy, Ash."

Ash sighed, "Misty, you don't have to prove anything to me. I care about you as a friend, and I want you to be happy with who you are. Becoming a supermodel won't make me love you more."

Misty looked at Ash, "But you said you're attracted to Elesa because she's a stunning supermodel with an amazing personality. If I become a supermodel too, won't you be attracted to me too?"

Ash looked at her "I will be attracted to you and be with you if you somehow succeed to be a better supermodel than Elesa and I will leave her for you. But I know you cannot become a better supermodel than Elesa."

Misty stated "Ash, mark my words, I will somehow become a better supermodel than Elesa with a better personality than Elesa and I will stay away from you until I achieve my goal."

Ash was taken aback by Misty's determination to become a better supermodel than Elesa just to win his love. He didn't want her to change herself just to impress him, but he could see the determination in her eyes.

"Misty, please don't do this just for me. You should become a supermodel if that's what you really want, not just to win my love," Ash said, trying to convince her to see reason.

But Misty was determined. "I want to become a supermodel because I want to be good enough for you. I want to make you happy, Ash," she said, her voice filled with conviction.

Ash sighed, knowing that he couldn't change her mind. "If that's what you really want, then go for it. But don't do it just for me. Do it for yourself."

Misty nodded, her eyes shining with determination. "I will, Ash. I will become the best supermodel there ever was, and I will make you happy."

Misty walked away and Lillie spoke up "I also will try becoming a supermodel. People call my mother to be more beautiful than many supermodels and so I know that I also can become a supermodel better than Elesa."

Ash watched as Lillie spoke with determination in her voice. He was surprised to hear her say that she also wanted to become a supermodel like Misty. He knew that Lillie's mother was a famous actress and model, but he didn't expect Lillie to follow in her footsteps.

"Lillie, you don't have to become a supermodel just to win my love. I care about you no matter what you choose to do," Ash said, trying to dissuade her from making the same mistake as Misty.

But Lillie was determined. "I know, Ash. But I want to become a supermodel because it's something that I've always wanted to do. And if it means that I can win your love, then it's all the more reason to do it."

Gladion interrupted, "But Lillie, becoming a supermodel is not an easy task. It requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and sacrifices. Are you sure you're ready for it?"

Lillie nodded firmly. "I am. I know it won't be easy, but I'm willing to put in the work. And besides, I have the support of my family and friends."

Ash smiled at her determination. "Well, if that's what you really want, then I support you. But remember, I care about you for who you are, not just for your looks or your career."

Lillie smiled back at him. "I know, Ash. And that's why I want to become a supermodel. To show you and everyone else that I'm more than just a pretty face."

As the group walked away, Gladion whispered to Ash, "You know, sometimes I think these girls are trying too hard to impress you."

Ash chuckled. "I know, but I can't help it if they have feelings for me. All I can do is support them in their dreams and hope that they find happiness."

Gladion nodded in agreement. "That's true. I will make sure to support my sister Lillie. But I am sad that you did not choose my sister to be your partner as Lillie is sad now that you did not choose her."

Ash sighed, feeling guilty for causing Lillie and Gladion pain. "I'm sorry, Gladion. I know Lillie has feelings for me, but I can't help who I have feelings for."

Gladion nodded, understanding his friend's predicament. "I know, Ash. And I don't blame you for it. It's just hard seeing my sister get her hopes up only to be disappointed."

Ash put a reassuring hand on Gladion's shoulder. "I understand how you feel. But I promise to always be there for Lillie, as a friend and supporter, no matter what."

Gladion smiled gratefully at Ash. "Thank you, Ash. That means a lot to me and to Lillie."

Gladion then spoke "Alright Ash, goodbye for now." Gladion then joined Lillie and then entered the mansion. Ash just looked at the three as they left. Ash then stood there for some time and then he turned and walked away.

Ash released Pidgeot and soon embarked on Pidgeot to whom he said "Take me to the palace." and then Pidgeot flew up high and then flew to the palace and Pidgeot then descended to the palaceand Ash disembarked from Pidgeot to see Kiawe, Mallow, Lana, and Sophocles.

Ash smiled at them but Mallow spoke up "Lillie said she was hurt as you chose Elesa rather than her. As her friends, we feel sad about her rejection."

Kiawe nodded "Actions have consequences."

Ash's smile faded as he heard what Mallow and Kiawe had to say. He knew that his decision had hurt Lillie, and he felt terrible about it.

"I know," Ash said, his voice filled with regret. "I never wanted to hurt Lillie. It's just that my heart belongs to Elesa."

Lana spoke up, trying to offer some comfort. "We understand that, Ash. But you need to be careful with people's feelings. Lillie is a sensitive person, and she takes things to heart."

Sophocles nodded in agreement. "Yeah, and we don't want her to get hurt more than she already is. So please, be careful with what you say and do around her."

Ash sighed, feeling the weight of his actions. "I understand. I'll do my best to be there for Lillie and to support her in whatever she chooses to do."

Kiawe nodded. "Good. And if you need any help or advice, just come to us. We're here for you, Ash."

Ash smiled gratefully at his friends. "Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it. And I promise to make things right with Lillie."

Ash's expression turned serious as he heard Mallow's words. "I know, Mallow. And I regret that too. Misty and I had a special bond, but we both realized that our paths were meant to go in different directions."

Lana spoke up, "But that doesn't mean you can forget about the people who cared for you. You should always treasure those memories and relationships."

Sophocles nodded, "Yeah, it's important to cherish those who were there for you during tough times."

Ash nodded, "I understand what you guys are saying. Misty will always be a special friend to me, and I'll always cherish our memories together."

Kiawe then added, "It's important to learn from your past mistakes and not repeat them. And that's what makes you grow as a person."

Ash smiled, feeling grateful for his friends' wise words. "Thanks, guys. You're always there to support me, and I appreciate that."

Mallow then said, "Well, we have to go now. We have our own adventures waiting for us."

Lana added, "But we'll always be here for you, Ash. Just remember that."

Sophocles then said, "And don't forget to take care of yourself and your Pokémon."

Ash nodded, "I won't. Thanks for everything, guys. Have a great adventure!"

As his friends walked away, Ash couldn't help but feel grateful for their support and advice. He knew that he had made mistakes in the past, but he was determined to learn from them and be a better person. With that in mind, he set out to continue his journey, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Ash then called Elesa and spoke "Hi Elesa, how are you?"

Elesa smiled "I am doing well."

Ash asked "Misty, Lillie, and Gladion who are Alola Elite Four members left the palace where Alola Elite Four members and Champion stay so you can come and stay with me."

Elesa nodded "Sure, I will come soon."

Ash said "Goodbye! I hope to see you again!"

Elesa spoke "Goodbye!" Elesa then cut the call.

Ash waited for Elesa to arrive, feeling excited and nervous at the same time. He couldn't wait to spend more time with her and get to know her better, but he also wanted to make sure he didn't hurt anyone else in the process.

As he waited, he thought about Misty, Lillie, and Gladion, and how he had hurt them with his actions. He knew that he couldn't change the past, but he could try to make things right and be there for them as a friend.

Just then, Ash heard a knock on the door. He quickly went to answer it, and there was Elesa, looking as stunning as ever.

"Hi, Ash," Elesa said, smiling at him. "I'm here."

Ash grinned, feeling his heart race. "Hi, Elesa. Come on in."

Elesa stepped inside, and Ash led her to Misty's bedroom which had a centralized air conditioner, king sized bed, and looked similar to a five star hotel room.

Ash spoke "This used to be Misty's bedroom but she, Lillie, and Gladion who are the Elite Four members of Alola were sad that I chose you to be my girlfriend so they left."

Elesa's smile faded a bit as she heard what Ash had said. "Oh, I see. I'm sorry that they felt that way, Ash. I never wanted to cause any trouble."

Ash shook his head. "It's not your fault, Elesa. It's just that they had feelings for me, and they were hurt when I chose you. But I want to make things right with them and be there for them as friends."

Elesa nodded, understandingly. "I think that's a good idea, Ash. It's important to respect other people's feelings and be there for them when they need us."

Ash smiled gratefully at her. "Thanks, Elesa. I'm really lucky to have you in my life."

Elesa smiled back at him. "I feel the same way, Ash. And I'm looking forward to spending more time with you"

Ash chuckled "Misty and Lillie also wanted to be supermodels who would be better than you so that I become their boyfriend. But I doubt they can achieve their goals."

Elesa smiled nicely "Better than me? I am making sure that I improve myself as a supermodel so I am far ahead of Misty and Lillie and they would not be able to catch up to me."

Ash grinned at Elesa's confidence. "I don't doubt it, Elesa. You're an amazing supermodel, and you work so hard to improve yourself. I'm sure Misty and Lillie will have a tough time catching up to you."

Elesa chuckled. "Thanks, Ash. But I don't see it as a competition. We all have our own strengths and talents, and we should support each other in achieving our goals."

Ash nodded in agreement. "You're right, Elesa. It's important to focus on our own goals and work towards them without trying to bring others down."

Elesa smiled warmly at Ash. "I'm glad we see eye to eye on that, Ash. It's one of the reasons why I like spending time with you."

Ash felt his heart flutter at her words. "I like spending time with you too, Elesa. You always inspire me to be a better person."

Elesa blushed a little at his words. "That's really sweet of you to say, Ash. I'm happy to hear that I have a positive impact on you."

Ash grinned at her. "You definitely do, Elesa. And I hope we can continue to support each other and achieve our goals together."

Elesa nodded in agreement. "I'm sure we will, Ash. And I'm excited to see where our journey takes us."

Elesa then went and unpacked her things in Misty's bedroom which is now her bedroom as Misty left the palace and she was being helped by Ash to arrange them in the shelves. Elesa got a phone call and saw that it was from Iris, the Unova Champion who betrayed Ash and was involved in trying to kill him. Elesa answered the call.

Iris spoke happily "Hi Elesa!"

Elesa kept her fury to herself and asked in a nonchalant voice "Hi. What do you want?"

Iris said "I want you to spy on the Alola Champion who recently had three of his Alola Elite Four members left his palace."

Ash noticed that Elesa's expression had changed as she spoke on the phone. He could sense that something was wrong, but he didn't want to interrupt her conversation. Instead, he waited for her to finish and see if she would tell him what was going on.

Elesa hung up the phone and turned to face Ash. He could see the fury in her eyes.

"What's wrong, Elesa?" he asked, concerned.

"It was Iris," Elesa replied, her voice tight with anger. "She wants me to spy on you and report back to her."

Ash was taken aback. He remembered how Iris had betrayed him in the past and had almost killed him. He didn't trust her at all.

"Why would she want you to do that?" Ash asked.

Elesa shook her head. "I don't know, Ash. But I'm not going to do it. I won't betray your trust like that."

Ash nodded in agreement. "I don't blame you, Elesa. You're a good person, and I trust you."

Elesa smiled at him gratefully. "Thank you, Ash. That means a lot to me."

Ash smiled back at her. "Of course, Elesa. You're my girlfriend, and I trust you completely. Let's focus on enjoying our time together and forget about Iris and her schemes."

Elesa nodded, feeling relieved. "You're right, Ash. Let's enjoy our time together and forget about everything else."

Elesa's expression turned to disbelief as she read the message. She couldn't believe Iris would stoop so low as to threaten her like this.

Ash noticed the change in her expression and asked, "What's wrong, Elesa?"

Elesa showed him the message, and Ash's expression turned to anger. "That's not right, Elesa. She can't just threaten you like that."

Elesa nodded, feeling a bit scared. "I know, Ash. But I won't let her intimidate me. I won't spy on you or betray your trust. I won't let her win."

Ash put his arm around Elesa, comforting her. "I'm amazed by you, Elesa. You're a strong person, and you won't let anyone push you around."

Elesa smiled at Ash. "Thanks, Ash. Your support means everything to me."

Ash smiled back at her. "I'll always be here for you, Elesa. No matter what."

Elesa felt grateful for Ash's support and knew that she could always count on him to be there for her. She knew that with Ash by her side, she could face any challenge that came her way.

Ash and Elesa then arranged Elesa's things in her bedroom andin some time, they finished the task. Ash then went for training while Elesa went and lay on the bed where she enjoyed the comfort of the king sized bed.

As Elesa lay on the bed, she couldn't help but think about Iris's message. She knew that Iris was just trying to intimidate her and make her do something that she didn't want to do, but the threat of losing her gym leader status still weighed heavily on her mind.

She sighed and closed her eyes, trying to clear her thoughts. Just then, Ash walked and was near the door, looking a bit tired but happy.

"How was your training?" Elesa asked, sitting up.

Ash grinned. "It was amazing! I'm getting better every day."

Elesa smiled, happy to see Ash's enthusiasm. "That's good to hear. You're already an amazing trainer, Ash, but there's always room for improvement."

Ash nodded, still grinning. "Thanks, Elesa. I'm really lucky to have you as my girlfriend and my partner."

Elesa smiled back at him, feeling grateful. "I feel the same way, Ash. And I want to support you in any way that I can."

Ash then walked and soon Ash alone was warped to Hall of Origin where he saw Misty.

Ash and Misty then saw Arceus who spoke "Ash, I hoped you would have Misty as your mate as in that case, you both would work with each other even better to combat the darkness that would arrive soon."

Ash asked "How many are needed to fight the darkness?"

Arceus spoke "I need two to lead the fight against darkness and I thought that you and Misty are the right combination. The darkness will be overwhelming and many of your friends might succumb to the darkness but you and your partner would be the ones who would persevere and push against the darkness."

Ash asked "Misty as my girlfriend? I love Elesa a lot and I want to be with her and not be with Misty. Can you replace Misty's role in the fight with Elesa doing the job as I can work with Elesa better than Misty?"

Misty asked "You want to replace me when I am fully committed to the fight?"

Ash nodded "Elesa is my girlfriend and so I would like her to have the role. I feel like I would work better with Elesa than with Misty."

Misty looked hurt by Ash's words, but she knew that he was right. Elesa was his girlfriend, and he needed to be with her. She sighed and turned to Arceus.

"If Ash thinks that Elesa would be a better fit for the role, then I will step down," Misty said.

Arceus nodded in understanding. "I appreciate your willingness to do what's best for the team, Misty. And Ash, I understand your desire to be with Elesa. I will make the necessary adjustments to the plan, and Elesa will take Misty's place."

Ash felt a sense of relief wash over him. He knew that Elesa would be a great partner for him in the fight against darkness, and he was glad that Arceus had agreed to make the change.

"Thank you, Arceus," Ash said, feeling grateful. "I promise that Elesa and I will do everything we can to fight the darkness and protect our friends."

Arceus smiled at him. "I have faith in you, Ash. Remember, the road ahead will be difficult, but if you stay true to your convictions and have faith in yourself and your partner, you will be able to overcome anything."

With those words, Arceus disappeared, leaving Ash and Misty alone in the Hall of Origin. Ash turned to Misty and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Misty," he said. "I hope you can understand why I had to make this decision."

Misty nodded, tears glistening in her eyes. "I understand, Ash. And I will always be here for you and support you in any way that I can."

Ash smiled gratefully at her. "Thank you, Misty. You're an amazing companion, and I'm lucky to have you in my life."

Ash and Misty then warped back to Alola where Ash saw a note on the ground which said "We have kidnapped Elesa. Come to Wela Volcano to find Elesa."

Ash had a feeling of deja vu as he knew he and Misty were kidnapped by his friends to Wela Volcano to toss them into the volcano and die but they were saved by Arceus. Now, they have targeted Elesa also.

Ash then ran out of the palace and released Pidgeot. Ash then embarked on Pidgeot who flew high. Ash spoke "We are going to Wela Volcano!" and Pidgeot nodded and flew to Wela Volcano.

Meanwhile, Elesa was looking at Brock, May, Dawn, Iris, Cilan, Gary, Max, Bonnie, and Serena who looked at Elesa.

Brock said "I have finally found the hottest woman in the world. I can forget about Lucy who is my girlfriend as I want to defile Elesa."

Max striked back "No, I will be the first to deflower Elesa."

Bonnie smiled "I support Max making the hottest woman in the world to be his mistress. I am not as hot as her so I just feel jealousy and want her deflowered."

Gary smirked "While you two argue, I will make sure to deflower Elesa."

Serena smiled "After you all enjoy Elesa, Brock will do an operation to transfer Elesa's beauty to me, May, Dawn, Bonnie, and Iris. Elesa will then just be some random plain hooker."

Cilan nodded "I would like Iris to get hotter."

Gary asked "Should we have brought Lucy, Shauna, Korrina, Sabrina, Whitney, and Chloe with us so that they get hotter too?"

Brock rebuked "They will oppose Elesa's beauty to them so it is in the end their loss."

Iris sneered "Elesa, this is the result of you not spying on your Alola Champion boyfriend. Now, I would get some of your beauty and be celebrated by trainers as an amazing stunning Champion who is more beautiful than Cynthia."

May smiled "If I have just one fourth of Elesa's beauty, I would be so hot that so many men would pursue me. My boyfriend Drew would have to compete a lot to keep me."

Dawn found it unfathomable "I can't imagine how famous I would be as a Pokemon Coordinator with just a portion of Elesa's beauty."

Serena chuckled "I would be the Kalos Queen with just some part of Elesa's beauty as so many would vote for me in Pokemon Performances to be the best Pokemon Performer."

Bonnie smiled "Max will treat me so much nicely and my self esteem will be off the roofs if I have some of Elesa's beauty."

Iris laughed "Elesa, we have no curves right now and not desired by most men other than our boyfriends who have bonds with us and so are attracted to us. With your beauty, we will have so many men to choose from."

Cilan looked down "Iris, would you choose any other man other than me?"

Iris smiled "No, Cilan, I do not forget who is with me through thick and thin. I will be solely your beautiful partner after I take a portion of Elesa's beauty."

Brock spoke out "So the way we have Elesa's beauty taken from her is through using my Alakazam who would perform a beauty transfer operation by his Psychic powers that would transfer fat, muscle, and bone from Elesa to Serena, May, Dawn, Bonnie, and Iris while changing the DNA to match Serena, May, Dawn, Bonnie, and Iris's DNA."

Gary spoke "It is so wrong that I who am the grandson of Professor Oak has just a woman with little curves, Sabrina, while the Alolan Champion, a no name kid from Pallet Town, has the hottest woman I know, Elesa as his girlfriend."

Max smiled "I am the son of Norman and I need to have a very beautiful partner. The beauty transfer operation would let me enjoy a portion of Elesa's beauty in Bonnie but before that, I would enjoy the full beauty of Elesa."

Brock had a lecherous grin "I will have the amazing experience of defiling Elesa and then transferring her beauty to my friends."

Cilan spoke out "I also would have the opportunity to deflower the woman I feel is the hottest woman in the world. Beauty should not be kept by one, it should be shared among many."

Gary sneered "I am sure the Alola Champion would never have fully enjoyed Elesa's beauty. Gary was here and will enjoy Elesa's beauty, the Alolan Champion, is a loser."

Max laughed "Me, Brock, Gary, and Cilan will be the four luckiest men in the world for deflowering Elesa before the Alolan Champion and Serena, May, Dawn, Bonnie, and Iris will be the five luckiest women in the world for taking Elesa's beauty from her and getting it for themselves."

As the group continued to argue over who would deflower Elesa and who would receive her beauty, they didn't notice a shadowy figure creeping up behind them. Suddenly, a voice boomed through the air.

"You will do no such thing!" Ash shouted as he landed on the ground, Pidgeot by his side. "Release Elesa and surrender now!"

The group turned around to see Ash standing there, his eyes blazing with fury. They were taken aback, unsure of what to do.

Brock was the first to regain his composure. "Well, well, well," he smirked. "If it isn't the Alolan Champion himself. Come to save your precious Elesa, have you?"

Ash didn't respond. He simply stood there, his fists clenched tightly.

Gary stepped forward. "You think you can stop us, Alolan Champion? You may have defeated us before, but this time, we have the upper hand."

Max nodded in agreement. "Yeah, and we have a secret weapon."

At that moment, Alakazam appeared, his psychic powers already charged and ready to perform the beauty transfer operation.

Elesa looked up at Ash, fear in her eyes. "Please help me," she pleaded.

Ash didn't hesitate. "Pidgeot, use Gust!" he commanded.

A powerful wind swept through the area, knocking Max, Brock, Gary, and Cilan off their feet. Elesa ran to Ash's side, and together they faced Alakazam.

But Alakazam wasn't going down without a fight. He unleashed a powerful psychic attack, which Ash barely managed to dodge.

It was then that Misty appeared, riding on the back of her Gyarados. "Ash, we're here to help!" she shouted.

Misty shouted out to Ash, "Ash, we need to coordinate our attacks. Gyarados, use Aqua Tail!"

Ash nodded and commanded, "Pidgeot, use Air Slash!"

As Gyarados swung his massive tail, a powerful water attack slammed into Alakazam. Pidgeot's razor-sharp feathers sliced through the air and struck the psychic Pokemon with a fierce gust of wind.

But Alakazam was not deterred. With a flick of his wrist, he sent a barrage of psychic energy hurtling towards Pidgeot and Gyarados.

Ash shouted to Misty, "We have to dodge his attacks! Pidgeot, use Agility!"

Misty nodded and yelled, "Gyarados, use Dragon Dance!"

Pidgeot flew nimbly through the air, dodging Alakazam's attacks with ease. Meanwhile, Gyarados began to twirl and dance, his movements becoming faster and more fluid.

Ash grinned at Misty, "Now's our chance! Pidgeot, use Brave Bird!"

Misty shouted out, "Gyarados, use Hyper Beam!"

Pidgeot shot towards Alakazam like a rocket, his body glowing with a fiery aura. At the same time, Gyarados unleashed a massive beam of energy from his mouth.

The attacks collided with a blinding flash of light, and for a moment, it seemed as though the volcano itself would be destroyed. But when the dust settled, Alakazam was lying on the ground, defeated.

Elesa ran into Ash's arms, tears streaming down her face. "Thank you for saving me," she whispered.

Ash held her close, relieved that she was safe. "I'll always protect you, Elesa," he promised.

Brock and Gary were crying in rage as now they knew that their chance of deflowering Elesa has gone away. Max whimpered and Cilan cried softly as they were sad on losing the chance to defile Elesa. May, Dawn, and Serena were together weeping loudly, as they will continue to be women with no curves. Iris and Bonnie weeped softly as now they just have to rely on their bonds with their boyfriends to have them.

Misty smiled at Ash and said, "Looks like we make a pretty good team, huh?"

Ash nodded, "Yeah, we do. Thanks for coming to help."

Misty replied, "Of course, I couldn't let you face them alone. Besides, it's always an adventure when we're together."

Brock and Gary groaned as they got up from the ground. Brock complained, "Ugh, my head is spinning. I can't believe we lost to these two."

Gary added, "We'll get our revenge someday, Alolan Champion. Just you wait."

Ash shrugged, "Whatever you say, Gary. But I wouldn't recommend trying to mess with Elesa again."

Max shouted in rage as he released Camerupt "It is not over, Camerupt, use Lava Plume on Alolan Champion, his side piece, and his girlfriend Elesa to kill them. We will kill you three here just like we killed Ash and Misty."

Ash's eyes widened in shock at Max's sudden outburst. "What?! Max, that's insane! You can't just kill us!"

Misty stepped forward, her expression stern. "Max, you've gone too far. This has to stop now."

But Max was not listening. He continued to shout orders to Camerupt, urging it to attack.

Ash knew he had to act fast. "Pidgeot, use Feather Dance!"

Pidgeot flapped its wings, sending a flurry of feathers into the air. The feathers swirled around Max and Camerupt, blinding them and causing them to stumble.

Misty seized the opportunity to act. "Gyarados, use Ice Fang!"

Gyarados lunged forward, clamping its jaws around Camerupt's neck. The fire-type Pokemon let out a roar of pain as Gyarados's icy fangs bit into its flesh.

Max screamed in rage and desperation. "Camerupt, use Earthquake!"

The ground beneath Ash and Misty shook violently, causing them to stumble. But they quickly regained their footing and continued their attack.

"Pidgeot, use Steel Wing!" Ash commanded.

Misty followed suit. "Gyarados, use Hydro Pump!"

Pidgeot's wings glowed with a metallic sheen as it swooped down, striking Camerupt with a powerful blow. Gyarados unleashed a torrent of water, sending Camerupt flying backwards.

Max fell to his knees, defeated. "I...I can't believe it," he muttered. Brock and Gary rushed over to Max, helping him up.

May roared at Misty "I cannot believe that you would save Elesa. If you cooperated with us, you would no longer be a side piece, you would be the Alolan Champion girlfriend who would also have a portion of Elesa's beauty. I know you are busty, curvy, and slim but you would be even more pretty if you supported us transferring Elesa's beauty to yourself and us all."

Dawn snickered "The side piece is truly an idiot for saving Elesa instead of letting her be defiled and her beauty transferred to us."

Serena moped "What is done is done, we never gave a deal to the side piece to cooperate with us but she was also foolish to oppose us."

Iris snarked "She has no intelligence and so she helped the Alolan Champion and his girlfriend, Elesa."

Ash and Misty stood their ground, shocked and appalled at the words that were coming out of May, Dawn, Serena, and Iris's mouths.

Misty glared at them. "How could you even suggest something like that? Transferring someone's beauty against their will is wrong and immoral. We're not going to be a part of something so heinous."

Ash nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we're not going to let you do something like that to Elesa. She's our friend, and we won't let you harm her or anyone else."

May scoffed. "Friendship means nothing in this world, especially when you can have beauty and power. You're both foolish to think otherwise."

Dawn chimed in, "Exactly. We could have all been beautiful and powerful if you had just cooperated with us."

Serena added, "But instead, you chose to stand in our way. And for that, you'll regret it."

Iris sneered, "Don't think you've won just because you defeated Max. We'll be back, and we'll make sure you regret ever crossing us."

Ash and Misty stood firm, ready for whatever came their way. They knew that they couldn't let these girls harm anyone else, and they were prepared to do whatever it took to stop them.

Ash spoke "We have recorded what Max said. We will investigate and put you all in jail for your crimes."

Elesa nodded "I am a witness to what evil things you have admitted to have done."

Misty concluded "So jail is the future to you all."

May scoffed, "You really think you can put us in jail? We have power, influence, and connections. We can make sure nothing happens to us."

Dawn added, "Yeah, we have people in high places who will protect us no matter what."

Serena chimed in, "And we'll just deny everything. Who's going to believe a bunch of losers like you?"

Iris sneered, "You all are just bluffing. You don't have any real power."

Ash replied, "We don't need power or connections to bring you to justice. We have the truth on our side."

Elesa nodded in agreement, "And the truth always comes out eventually. Your crimes will catch up with you, whether you like it or not."

Misty spoke firmly, "We won't let you get away with your heinous plans. You will face the consequences of your actions."

Brock laughed "I do not care. I have the support of Unova Champion, Iris to do my crimes."

Gary sneered "So losers, we do not care about you three. Alola is a weak region and the Alolan Champion, his Elite Four side piece, and Unova gym leader girlfriend have almost no power in the world."

Max chuckled "We will never face any threat to our power."

Cilan nodded "So you better give up."

Ash's expression hardened as he listened to their arrogance. "You underestimate us. We may not have the same level of power as you do, but we have something you don't - integrity and a sense of justice."

Elesa chimed in, "And we also have the support of people who believe in us and what we stand for. We won't let you get away with your crimes."

Misty spoke up, "And we won't rest until you are held accountable for your actions. You can try to deny it, but the truth will come out and justice will be served."

May rolled her eyes, "Justice? Please, spare me. You're just a bunch of naive do-gooders who can't handle the reality of the world."

Dawn added, "Yeah, you guys are living in a fantasy land. The world isn't fair, and you can't change that."

Serena chimed in, "But we can still try to make a difference, to make the world a better place. And we won't let you stand in our way."

Iris sneered, "You really think you can take us down? We're just getting started. You haven't seen anything yet."

Brock laughed, "You're right. We have more power and influence than you could ever imagine. You're just ants in our path."

Gary added, "And we'll crush you under our feet without a second thought."

Max smirked, "You may have won this battle, but the war isn't over yet. We'll be back, stronger than ever."

Cilan spoke up, "So you better watch your backs. You never know what we're capable of."

Ash replied confidently, "We're ready for whatever you throw at us. We won't back down and we won't give up. Justice will prevail."

Brock, May, Dawn, Max, Bonnie, Iris, Cilan, Gary, and Serena then ran away from Ash, Misty, and Elesa, determined to enact their revenge.

Elesa then hugged her boyfriend, Ash, for saving her from being raped by Brock, Max, Cilan, and Gary and having her beauty transferred to May, Dawn, Iris, Bonnie, and Serena.

As Elesa hugged Ash tightly, he could feel her trembling in fear. "It's okay, Elesa," he whispered soothingly, "You're safe now. We won't let anyone hurt you again."

Misty stepped forward and placed a reassuring hand on Elesa's shoulder. "We'll make sure they pay for what they've done," she said, her tone firm.

Elesa nodded, grateful for their support. "Thank you, Ash and Misty. I don't know what I would have done without you."

Ash smiled warmly at her, "You don't have to thank us. We're just doing what's right."

Misty added, "And we won't rest until justice is served."

Meanwhile, Brock, May, Dawn, Max, Bonnie, Iris, Cilan, Gary, and Serena were determined to get their revenge on Ash, Misty, and Elesa. They had underestimated their opponents and were now more determined than ever to make them pay.

Brock growled, "I can't believe we lost to them. We'll show them who's boss."

May nodded in agreement, "They won't know what hit them."

Dawn added, "And we'll make sure they regret ever crossing us."

Max snickered, "They won't even know what hit them when we're through with them."

Iris sneered, "They thought they could take us down? We'll show them what real power is."

Cilan nodded, "And we'll make sure they never cross us again."

Gary added, "They may have won this battle, but the war is far from over. We'll make them pay for what they did."

Serena smirked, "And we'll enjoy every moment of it."

With their plan of revenge set in motion, the group began to prepare for their next move, determined to make Ash, Misty, and Elesa suffer for their actions.

Ash hugged Elesa back tightly, relieved that she was safe. "I'm just glad you're okay," he said, "I couldn't imagine what would have happened if I didn't show up when I did."

Misty added, "I'm so sorry that we couldn't prevent this from happening. We'll make sure they face the consequences for their actions."

Elesa smiled gratefully, "Thank you both. You are true friends."

As they walked away from the scene, Elesa couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She knew that Brock, May, Dawn, Max, Bonnie, Iris, Cilan, Gary, and Serena would not give up that easily. They were dangerous people with no regard for the law or the safety of others.

Ash noticed her unease and squeezed her hand, "Don't worry, Elesa. We'll make sure they can't hurt anyone else."

Misty nodded in agreement, "We'll do whatever it takes to stop them. We won't let them get away with their crimes."

Elesa smiled, feeling a sense of comfort knowing that she had true friends by her side. She knew that the road ahead would not be easy, but with Ash and Misty by her side, she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Elesa asked "How did Misty come for saving me when she and you had some issues?"

Ash nodded "Misty's words were "I will somehow become a better supermodel than Elesa with a better personality than Elesa and I will stay away from you until I achieve my goal." but still we were companions and so when I asked help, she came."

Elesa nodded, understanding the situation. "I see. It's good to know that she was still willing to help, even though you both had some differences."

Ash nodded in agreement. "Misty may have her flaws, but when it comes down to it, she's a good person and a loyal friend."

Misty blushed at Ash's words. "Thanks, Ash. I'm just glad I could help."

Elesa smiled at the two of them. "I'm grateful to have you both as my friends. And I'm relieved that we were able to stop Brock, Max, Cilan, Gary, and Serena from causing any more harm."

Ash put his arm around Elesa. "We'll always be there to protect you, Elesa. That's what friends are for."

Misty added, "And we'll make sure those five never get away with their crimes. We'll see to it that justice is served."

Elesa nodded, feeling a sense of comfort and security with her friends by her side. "Thank you both. I couldn't have asked for better friends than you two."

Misty spoke "Ash, I am sorry for my overreaction. I cannot cut ties with a good companion like you who cares a lot for those whom he loves."

Ash nodded "I am also sorry for hurting you by my words."

Elesa smiled at the two of them, happy to see them reconciling. "I'm glad you two have worked things out," she said. "You both are important to me."

Ash replied, "And you're important to both of us too, Elesa. We'll always be here to protect you from those who wish to do you harm."

Misty nodded in agreement, "We're a team and we stick together no matter what."

Elesa hugged them both, feeling grateful for their friendship. "Thank you, guys. I'm happy to have you both as my friends."

Misty asked "So when I shift back to the palace, would I return to my own room where I have a lot of memories."

Ash frowned "I gave the room for Elesa to stay in."

Elesa spoke "I am fine with shifting to another room in the palace. Misty, you can stay in your room."

Ash grinned "I have Lillie's old room which would be suitable for you, Elesa."

Misty smiled, "That's amazing, Elesa. You'll have a new room to decorate and make your own."

Elesa nodded, "Yes, it will be a fresh start for me."

Ash added, "And Lillie's room has an amazing view of the garden. I'm sure you'll love it."

Elesa hugged Ash, "Thank you, Ash. You always know how to make everything better."

Misty smiled, "It's good to see you two getting along again."

Ash and Elesa both blushed, but Ash replied, "Yes, it indeed feels very good to have everything back to normal."
