Ash groaned as he shifted in his bed. He felt the familiar presence of Lucifer hugging him gently as he slept and wrapped his arms around her while snuggling against her. She giggled a bit before gently nudging him.

"Ash, it's time to wake up, my king. ~" She says to him.

"Just… a little longer, Lucy." He says as she giggles again.

"Wrong woman, love. ~" She whispered into his ear.

He raised an eyebrow wondering if it was one of the other girls instead. However, as it hit him, his eyes snapped open and he looked up, right at the smirking face of the Great Fly. It took him a second to process that he was currently resting in her arms. Then he covered his face, remembering what happened to him.

"Morning, Beel." He says.

"Ooh, already giving me a nickname? I'm so much more flattered than before. ~"

"Glad you're happy."

"Well, I hope you're gonna be happy." The Great Fly then pushed herself up. "Cause I got something you'll love."

He seemed surprised when she said that. "What do you mean?"

After pulling him out of bed, she dragged him over to the room and revealed a rectangular arena made of squares. He stared in awe and amazement.

"Wow, this is… neat." He says.

"I know, right?" Beelzebub says suddenly excited. "It took me a while to make this."

"Wait, you just made this now?"

"I was making it while you were sleeping."

(Last Night)

Beelzebub was pulling abyss matter into the room and started to mold it while humming to herself. Cutting it up like it was nothing and turning it into pieces before putting them together. She then took a look and admired her own handy work before happily sighing.

"Yes, the perfect place for a ba-" She stopped when she noticed something off.

One of the tiles was red. The rest were white, but one was bright red, standing out. Her eye twitched in annoyance.

"Son of Satan's whore. STARTING OVER!" She says before rushing out of the room.

(A minute later)

She recreated the stadium, but…

"How did all these squares make a circle? I just…" She huffed. "No, no, it's fine, it's fine. It doesn't bother me, it doesn't bother me- it bothers me, it bothers me a lot." She looked at one of the tiles. "AND THAT ONE'S STILL RED!"

(Present time)

"All complete, right here." She holds her arm out to the arena. "Perfectly square of fine marble white, and a full twenty-four by twenty-" She stopped while looking at one of the tiles.

It was in half. Her eye twitched again.

'... Let it go, Beel… you've got a boy to please.' She thought to herself while slowly turning back to face the trainer. "So, would you like to try it?"

"What do you mean?" He asked puzzled.

"Well, use it for one of your battles? Ya know?"

"I… don't have any Pokemon, though."

Hearing that, Beelzebub's eye twitched before she snapped her fingers. "Right, right, Pokemon, Pokemon… uh…" She tapped her fingertips together in thought. "Give me a moment." She then turned into flies and went out of the room.

Ash was left wondering just where she was going before shaking his head. Then he looked back at the arena, tilting his head while observing it. He felt a little flattered while looking.

'She went through the trouble just to make this for me.' He thought with a smile before sighing. 'Shame we'll have to leave all this behind.'

The flies then came back into the room, reforming his roommate. "I'm back!" She then says in a sing-song tone while holding abyss matter. "Now behold."

Then she started molding the matter into different shapes. One looked like a Typhlosion, however, it was a more purple color with a violet flame, and the other looked to be a Samurott with black armor. He got more confused before she put them in the arena.

Then she snapped her fingers… and instead of a typical Pokemon battle, they just charged at each other and started practically slamming into each other violently, sometimes using moves, but barely. It was like some kind of mortal combat match that was a fight to the death. Eventually, the Samurott stabbed Typhlosion with its horn and the latter exploded back into matter.

"So, what do you think?" Beelzebub asks while smiling.

"Uh… well…" Ash tried to put some words together.

"You don't like it? Here, I'll do better." She then pulled out more matter.

Then she reshaped it, turning it into a Decidueye that was red and with its eyes covered. It went onto the battlefield and like before, they started going at each other like animals.

"Is this better?" She asked.

"L-look, Beel…" He says before looking at her. "I appreciate the effort, but-"

"NO! I mean, if you want, I could-" She started to say frantically.

"No, Beel, look, it's okay. You don't have to keep doing this. I don't 'need' a Pokemon battle… especially not like this." He says as the Samurott stabbed Decideye, causing it to explode as well.

"Is-Is it wrong? I can fix it." She took his hands in hers.

"Stop, please. Look, thank you for trying to help me, but there's no need to freak out." He says while holding her hands. "There's no need to go through all this. It's fine really."

"Okay, okay, so the battles aren't the greatest. But… but I could always-"

"Beelzebub!" He says, cutting her off. "Again, it's okay. There's no need to do this." He says before holding his stomach. "Uh… where's the bathroom?"

"D-Down the hall to the left, first door."

"Thanks." He says as he rushes out of the room.

After he left, she stood in place for a moment… then yelled in anger before kicking up some dust then throwing a blast at the Samurott, decimating it. She punched the wall hard, cracking it before huffing.

"Of course, that wouldn't work so easily! AGH!" She then destroyed the arena before taking a deep breath. "Alright. The arena was a failure. But…" She says while tapping her fingers before a lightbulb appears above her head. "Hmm, that could work." She says before destroying the bulb then walking out of the room.

After Ash was done in the bathroom, he went back to the arena. As he noticed that the Great Fly was gone, and the room damaged, he sighed. He was starting to get worried about his living situation after this.

Then a smell came to his nostrils, the smell of smoke. Worried, he ran to the source which was the kitchen. He was coughing as he grabbed the fire extinguisher and started fanning the smoke out as best as he could, readying to put out whatever was causing the smoke before a huge gust of wind cleared out the room.

"Oh, Ash, just in time." Beelzebub says cheerfully as he looks up.

She was standing right at the table putting a plate down on it before looking at him with a kind smile. Ash looked puzzled before looking at the oven which was still smoking before back to her, which the plate had smoke emitting.

She patted the seat next to her. The boy looked left and right before walking up and sitting down. In front of him was what looked like it was supposed to be a pancake, but it was mostly burnt and was… bubbling… and leaking purple.

He gulped at the sight. He took a glance up at the Great Fly who continued smiling down at him expectedly. Not wanting to hurt her feelings, he took the form and picked a piece off, more purple oozing out of it. He hesitated, slowly moving it up to his mouth, and took a bite.

"Well, how is it?" Beelzebub asked… then her smile fell when she got no response. "Ash?" She asked, not noticing his face turning blue.

(Later on)

Ash let out a few more coughs before using toilet paper to clean his mouth. Then, he flushed the toilet that he was hovering over before slumping against the bathroom wall. He groaned while rubbing his stomach.

Meanwhile, Beelzebub stood outside with a hand on her forehead. 'That went worse than I thought.' She sighed. 'Isn't this ironic? Freaking out over a boy wanting to leave as if there's a way for him to leave in the first place… how would those dumb ladies think of me?' She chuckled a bit before her smile dropped. 'Then again, that woman might actually find a way to pull him out. I cannot let that happen.'

"Ugh!" Ash groaned while coming out of the bathroom.

"Ash, are you okay? You're not hurt are you?" The demon woman quickly went to his aid.

"No, I'm fine. It's no big deal."

"You've been saying that a lot."

"Yes, I know, but I mean it. Look, I'm just gonna… go for a walk around the place."

"Very well, go ahead." She waved him off as he went on his way.

She sighed before rubbing her temples. She decided to take a look at how the girls were acting, not finding anything interesting. They were all nothing short of depressed or frustrated and it wasn't entertaining for them. Seeing them suffer didn't make her feel good and she quickly stopped watching them before going to follow the teen.

After a bit, she caught him in the library and stepped inside. He was checking many books seeming as though he was looking for something specific. It made her wonder just what he was doing.

"Hey, Ash?" She says.

"Hey, Beel." He says.

"Uh… what are you doing?"

"I'm just trying to find something that might help us get out of here."

"You're still on about that?"

"Like I said, not gonna give up. Who knows? Maybe this library has something that could help us."

"Ash… all these books were made by me." Beelzebub says, causing him to stop in his tracks. "There isn't a single book here that'll help."

He slowly looked at her with a dumbfounded look. "Got it." He says while clearing his throat. "So, you wrote all these books? That's amazing."

"Not really. Half these books are just filled with nonsense that I could not care about."

"Y-you wouldn't even miss any of these if you left the abyss?"

"No, 'cause they'd only be a reminder of it."

"I see."

Beelzebub stared for a moment before walking up to him and putting a hand on his shoulder. "Listen, I understand that it's hard, but it's best you accept it. You and I will be stuck here with no way out no matter what."

She stopped as she felt him grasp her hand. "Not gonna happen." He says before removing her hand. "I don't care how long it takes I will find a way out of here, no matter what."

She only stared before looking down with closed eyes. 'There's no convincing this boy is there?' She only sighed.

Seeing how she was upset, Ash was about to say something, but was cut off by a sudden screech that echoed through the palace. A screech so powerful that it shook everything, making the two jump before looking around in fear. Out of the window, the boy caught a glimpse of something flying by. Curious, he took off out of the library, the Great Fly following behind in confusion.

As soon as he got outside onto the balcony, he was shocked by what he saw. Flying right up to them was a giant creature that soon floated down in front of him, its bright red eyes staring down at him as he stared back.

He recognized it all too well but feared whether it was gonna attack or not, but as it stared, he couldn't help but sense something familiar about it. It then tilted its head, not in confusion, but rather a gesture that it meant no harm. The more he looked, the more he recognized and soon smiled brightly.

"Giratina!" He says before laughing and running up to hug its head as it cooed happily. "Oh man, I missed you so much." He says before pulling away. "What are you doing here?"

It cooed before a smaller creature came down. He soon recognized it as Lucifer's baby Giratina in its alternate form.

"You?" He says as she cooed. "Ha, knew she'd find a way." He then petted her.

Beelzebub watched with shock as the boy simply got along with a legendary Pokemon. She couldn't believe what she was looking at. Ash looked back at her, wondering if he should tell her. It had to be a surprise of a lifetime to see a legendary Pokemon just appear in front of her like this.

"I-I… y-you're… friends with… this thing?" She asked.

"Oh yeah, I haven't told anyone have I?" The boy says. "Me and Giratina go way back. We've had a bit of uh… well, it's gonna take a while to explain."

"Oh, I see…" She says before taking a step back.

"You don't have to be scared. He's friendly. Right, Giratina?" The large Pokemon cooed in agreement, however, the smaller one hissed at her. "Hey, no, don't do that." He scolded it.

'This… I knew this boy had something special about him, but… this is beyond what I could ever believe.'

"You okay?"

"Yeah, just…" She paused before looking at the giant Pokemon. 'She really did figure something out.' She sighed, saddened. "You should probably get going now." She says.

"You're not coming with me?"

"No, I'm not gonna keep you here, I know you've… been looking… for a…" She started to say before she realized something. "What did you say?"

"I asked if you're not coming with me."

She stared at him for a bit before her eyes widened. "Wait, you… actually wanted me to come with you?"

"Yeah, I've been saying that."

"Wha… y-you mean that wasn't just talk? You are perfectly alright with me coming with you?"

"Of course."

"Even after I tried to overthrow Lucifer and take over Hell?"

"I mean, I get that, but I don't think you deserve to be stuck here anymore."

"You barely even know me for a day."

"Well, that logic can kinda apply to the other girls." He says before Giratina roars, getting their attention. "I think that's our cue." He then holds a hand out. "So come on, let's go."

Beelzebub looked surprised that he had asked her to go with him. Sure he was kind, but would he really allow someone like her to be free? She seemed suspicious a bit before looking back at him, and Ash only smiled. Her cheeks flared upon seeing it. Then she slowly moved her hand to his and grasped it, before he led her to the Pokemon and helped her up onto its head.

Baby Giratina hissed at her. "Hey, don't do that." Ash scolded again. "Ready?" The Great Fly still felt unsure but wrapped her arms around him to be secure before nodding. "Alright, let's go, Giratina!"

Giratina roared before it took off and flew far from the palace. The demon woman stared down at it, having a bit of an epiphany, only for it to turn into disgust. For as long as she was stuck in that place, even after all the effort she put into creating it, she wasn't gonna miss it.

Once high enough, the Pokemon screeched and created a whirlwind from its mouth, creating a portal big enough to fit it. As it flew through, Ash covered his eyes because of the blinding light. Once he opened them again, he smiled as he saw the bright blue sky, white clouds, and the relaxing breeze hitting his face.

"Oh man, I missed this." He says, excited. "Look, see? We're out." He says while looking back at the Great Fly, who looked amazed.

'This… this is actually happening… I'm finally free.' She thinks to herself before looking down and hugging the boy tighter while pressing her face into the back of his neck.

Feeling something wet, he looked back and saw that she was shedding some tears. "A-are you okay?"

"Thank you." Beel pulled off him and wiped the tears off her face.

He just smiled, not needing to hear anymore.

As Ash looked down, he got even more happy. He saw his house and it was all still in one piece. Just outside were the girls. Pandemonica(in her tired state), Lucifer, Judgement, and Pikachu appeared to be attempting damage control while some of the others were freaking out.

"Hey, girls! I'm back!" He called out but did not garner any reaction from them. "Hey! I'm… We're too high up for them to hear. Hey, Giratina! Can you land?"

The giant Pokemon cooed and flew down. As he did the girls took notice as it in its other form landed right in front of them, the smaller one floating down to face its owner.

"Did you do it?! Did you find him?! Please tell me you did!" Was the first thing out of Lucifer's mouth, not noticing the boy getting down from its head. "Where is he?! Where is he?!"

"Over here!" He called, catching their attention.

All he did was smile and- "ASH!"

Monica was the first to envelop him in a hug… then Modeus jumped on him… then Cerberus, all three did the same, almost knocking him over, but this time he stayed standing up.

"You're back!" The three say happily.

"I thought you were gone for good!" Monica says while hugging him tightly.

"Well, I wasn't." He says while rubbing her back before they let go of him… except one who was clinging to him, both arms and legs. "M-Modeus, you can look go now."

"NO! I'M NOT LETTING YOU GO! I'M NEVER LETTING YOU GO EVER AGAIN!" She shouted while holding him tighter.

It took Judgement having to wrench her off of him. "GIVE HIM SPACE TO BREATH!" She says before Pikachu jumps into his arms and cheers happily.

"I missed you especially buddy." He laughed before Malina got in his face while grabbing her shirt.

"Do not do that again!" She says before calming down, letting him go.

"Oh thank the heavens you're okay! I was worried you were trapped forever." Azazel says.

"But he didn't." Justice says while attempting to put an arm around the boy's shoulder, missing at first before getting it. "Cause, that's just how awesome he is."

"I'll say." Zdrada says before pulling the boy into a one-armed hug and leaning close to his face. "Feel good to finally be back?"

Lucifer was quick to pluck him from their grasp and pull him into a tight hug. "I thought I would never see you again! Oh, Ash!" She says before loosening her grip.

Before he could say anything, she started kissing him right in front of the group without a care. Knowing how worried she was, he just returned it. Beelzebub watched from the side having a little chuckle before looking at the sky once more.

'So, this is it. I'm finally out of that disgusting place.' She sighed. 'It all looks better in person.' She smiled, tears started to form once again.

The queen stopped kissing the boy and went back to hugging him ever so lovingly. Then as she looked up, she caught the sight of the Great Fly, and in that instant, her face went from sadness, happiness, and relief, to anger, and fury.

"You…" She says while practically spewing venom as she drops the boy.

Beelzebub noticed and calmly took out her handkerchief, wiping her face. 'Alright, time to be rid of the waterworks…' She then formed a sly grin before turning to face them. "Greetings, your majesty. I see you're doing well for yourself." She then says smugly as the aforementioned queen forms fire in her hands.

"You conniving, ROTTEN-!" Lucifer started to say while getting in front of her.

"WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! Hold on!" Ash quickly got between them. "Look, I get you're angry and probably blame her for what happened, but-"

"Do not defend her! I had hoped to never see her face again."

"Feelings mutual, my dear Lucy." Beelzebub says while still smiling before putting her hands on the boy's shoulders. "But I am thankful for you to have given me such a present."

"Get your goddamn hands off of him." Lucifer growled through gritted teeth. "You are not deserving of him after you tricked him into falling into your grasp."

"Oh, I didn't do a thing. It was all him."

"You expect me to believe that?"

"She actually is telling the truth." Ash spoke up.

Lucifer paused and looked down at him. "What?"

"Yeah, it was all my fault." He says while rubbing the back of his neck.

"... W-why?"

"I kinda got too close to the portal and was pulled in-"

"And I didn't even lift a finger." Beelzebub says while wrapping an arm around him. "No effort required."

"I said DON'T TOUCH HIM!" Lucifer pulled him back into her arms protectively.

The boy only sighed. "I'm sorry for disappearing on you like this." He says as she looks down at him.

"Oh, Ash, I don't blame you for a second." She says lovingly.

"None of us do." Monica says with a hand on his back. "It's kinda becoming normal for us at this point."

He chuckled at what she said before the queen let go of him looking up at the giant Pokemon. "I didn't know you could get in contact with Giratina."

"Well, that is a benefit to having a little someone." Lucifer says before baby Giratina flies up to her shoulder. "I didn't know how to tell you."

"That's okay. It's pretty cool." He says as she blushes while smiling.

"Well, now that this is all taken care of-" Beelzebub casually says as all the attention went on her. "I believe, I shall be on my-"

"Don't you dare!" Lucifer yelled as chains wrapped around the Great Fly, courtesy of the High Prosecutor who was also angry. "I am gonna make sure you never come back." She says while her hands lit ablaze.

"STOP! STOP! Hold on!" Ash got in front of her, leaving her dumbfounded. "Please, stop." He says while looking at Judgement.

"What?" Judgement mouthed.

"Please." He asked again, her expression cringing for a moment before she called off the chains. "Thank you. Now let's not do anything rash here."

"Why are you defending her? Don't you remember what we told you of her?" Lucifer asked.

"I remember, but… uh… well…"

"He promised me freedom." Beelzebub says, her smile still remaining.

Hearing that, Lucifer's jaw dropped while Monica smacked her forehead, and Judgement looked ready to blow a fuse. The other girls didn't seem to react too much to it, however, the queen slowly turned back to the Great Fly, her expression turning angry.

"You bitch." She said under her breath.

Beelzebub only shrugged. "Nothing you can do about it, Lucy. Now, Ash-" She then looked at the boy. "Do you perhaps have any more room in your house for another?"

"... Uh…" He looked back at Lucifer who was so angry she was practically on fire. "I mean, I might…"

"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME." Judgment says in annoyance.

"Welp, that settles it." Justice says while walking over and extending an arm. "Long time no see, Beel."

"Long time indeed, Justice." Beelzebub says while shaking her head. "No hard feelings about… well taking your sight."

"Eh, I got you banished for a couple of eons, so we're already even."

"Y-yeah, why don't we just let bygones be bygones?" Ash suggested. "I mean, I'm sure we could work things out."

"Yes, I can assure you that won't repeat the same incident that happened all those years again. So…" Beelzebub then held a hand out. "Shall we barry the hatchet?" She says, still smiling smugly.

Lucifer looked at her hand, then looked back up at her face. She was pissed, wanting to tear the woman in front of her in half. However, she looked down at Ash who was looking at her, practically pleading for her to not act rashly. Her expression softened after that and she only sighed before taking her hand.

"Fine… but mark my words if you try anything." She says.

"I would never dream of it." The Great Fly says while smiling disgustingly sweetly.

Ash sighed. 'What a relief.' Then he looked around, realizing something. "Wait, where's mom?"

"Still out shopping. Thankfully we got this done before she got back." Lucifer says confusing him.

"She's been gone for a whole day shopping?"

"A day? You've been gone for five hours." Malina tells him.

"What?"

"Oh yeah, time in the abyss is a little wonky. Who knows? Maybe we could've been in there for over a thousand years." Beelzebub says casually.

"Oh… oh…" Ash says as he realizes what could've been.

"Don't worry, I promise you will never go to that place again, for the rest of your life." Lucifer tells him.

"But… since you've come back…" Azazel crept over. "I hope you don't mind if I ask some questions about it?"

"Well, I can't really say too much about it." Ash explains.

"I'd be happy to answer a few questions." Beelzebub spoke up.

"Oh, that'd be wonderful, Ms. Beelzebub." The angel says cheerfully.

"Don't mention it." She says before picking her up and placing her to the side. "First, I need to show my gratitude for our little Helltaker, here. ~" She then turned to the boy. "I cannot thank you enough, Ash Ketchum."

"Well, you're free now. No need to thank me." He says.

"I disagree. In fact…" She then stepped closer. "I think I should reward you accordingly."

Before he could open his mouth, she grabbed him and pulled him up, mashing her lips against his. The girls were all shocked… except Justice who was left wondering what was happening. Ash was also shocked, completely stunned and not knowing what to do at that moment.

One of her eyes opened and looked right at Lucifer who was again angry. She smirked into the kiss, making the queen's rage burn even hotter before pulling away from him and giving him a little smile and head tilt to look cute.

"Uh, girls!" They hear before turning in the direction, seeing Delia come around the corner with bags. "I don't mean to sound rude, but why is there a-" She stopped herself when she saw the new demon lady.

She only stared, not saying anything. Ash looked back and forth, not knowing what to say and genuinely at a loss for words. All he could do was awkwardly laugh.

To be continued…

Okay, this chapter, I don't think this is my best.
