Hello there everyone how was your holidays of 2022?
Now that we were in 2023 things will be a bit different.
As I said in the last chapter this will be a Dante focused Chapter.
Now this chapter will take place during the events of the 8th Pokémon movie with some mentions here and there.
Now then in this chapter Dante will be meeting with someone who has some important information.
Also in chapter 27 I will reveal the fates of the Invincible Pokémon Brothers.
Now there may be some dark toned moments so keep an eye out for them.
Ok with that out of the way let's get started.
I don't own any of this except the OCs
Here we go.
Chapter 25: an exchange in Celadon
Timeline: takes place during the events of Pokémon movie 8
"Give me a damn break."
Dante was on his Salamence flying to Celadon city to meet up with a contact of his, his contact said he has some important info he needed to tell Dante and told him to meet him at the Pokémon center, he got there quickly and thank his Salamence for the flight and recalled him to his PokéBall.
"Ok I'm here, let's get this over with." He said to himself.
He went in the Pokémon center and then sat down in one of the chairs.
He waited for nearly 30 minutes when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Where does the knight hide his shield?"
"When the sword is resting in its sheath." Said Dante.
He turned around to find a person cloaked.
"So you have arrived." Said Dante feeling a little annoyed.
"Sorry for being late, but had to be sure I wasn't followed." Said the figure.
Dante sighed but understood.
"Come we need to find a place we can talk in private." Dante said.
They soon left the Pokémon center and decided to head to one of the places that normal trainers don't usually go to.
They went to a part of the city where it was a bit more rougher around the edges, they came across to a bar, a bar called 'Gloom's delight' and they went in, there was a lot of tough trainers and other rough characters as well and some of them would beat the crap out of anyone if they looked at them funny.
When they walked up to the bar tender they requested a private room for 1 hour and some drinks and the hooded figure pulled out some cash and gave it to the bar tender.
The bar tender nodded and lead to a room marked private and let them in and told them their drinks will be ready in a few minutes and closed the door.
The two then went to the table and sat down with a red light shine down on them.
"Ok the coast is clear you take the hood off." Said Dante.
The figure took the hood and it was revealed to be a male around his mid 30's with dark blue hair, dark red eyes, an X shaped scar on his right cheek and a dark red mustache and beard.
"Hello Dante." Said the figure.
"Hello there Enji." Dante said back.
"So what brings you here?" Dante asked.
"I have some important info that you need to know and it regards that trainer you're traveling with." Said Enji.
Dante looked at Enji with a stern look.
"Look I know, the boy can't know where his father is right now, but this is something else." Enji told him.
"What is it?" Dante asked.
"It regards the other group that we've been tracking for a while and we managed to identify one of them." Enji continued.
"Who?" Dante asked.
"it's one of the former members of team rocket the one who uses a dark ball to catch Celebi and try to destroy the forest at the lake of life." Enji added.
Dante's eyes were filled with anger and rage and he knew who Enji was talking about.
"Vicious the Iron Mask Marauder." He growled with anger in his voice.
"I'm afraid so." Replied Enji.
"DAMN IT!" Dante hissed as he banged his fist on the table.
"I know, I know it's frustrating, but that's not the worst of it." Enji added.
"What do you mean?" Dante said.
Just then the bar tender came in with some beer for the two and then left.
"Well." Said Enji. "There's a video of them escaping but I must warned you it's very messed up."
He then pulled out a device from his pocket and slide it to Dante.
"I'll let you look at it later, but there's another thing that needs to be discuss." Continued Enji.
"What's that?" Dante asked as he took a swig of his beer.
"Well there is someone pulling the strings on this and right now we need to be careful of this new organization, they are a bit more dangerous." Said Enji.
"Do you know what is it called?" Dante asked.
Enji nodded.
"They called themselves Team Emerald."
"Team Emerald huh? Figures." Said Dante.
"Their numbers and objective are unknown but I advise caution, you'll never know when they strike." Enji added as he took a swig of his beer.
"Ok then." Dante said. "I'll be careful."
Then Enji pulled out one more thing and gave it to Dante.
"This Flash drive, it has some info for your eyes only, access it only after the kid gets his second frontier symbol." Enji said.
Dante nodded.
Soon both finished their drinks and then left the private room paid the bar tender and left the building.
"Where will you go now?" Dante asked.
Enji looked at him.
"I must continue to gather info on team Emerald and also on the one we don't speak about, so I will be gone for a while and will meet you after your friend gains his 4th symbol." Enji said.
"Ok then." Replied Dante.
Enji then put his hood on and then brought out his PokéBall and called forth his Dragonite and got on its back.
"Good luck." Enji said.
Dragonite flapped its wings and got up in the air and then took off with great speed.
Dante then looked at the skies and saw it was getting dark and he heard some rumbling noises in the clouds.
"Damn it, it's going to rain soon I better find some place to rest for the night." He said.
As Dante left to go find some shelter, he then felt a sharp pain in his head and place both hands on his head.
"ARGH!" he shouted.
The pain lasted for a few seconds but Dante could see a lot of visions going by and some of them had Ash and him against an unknown enemy and the pain stopped.
"What the hell? Now I get some visions at this moment? Ugh I am going to have a rough night sleeping." He hissed.
Dante made his way through the dark parts of Celadon, looking for a place to crash for the night, he was too far to head back to the Pokémon center as this time of night and plus it was going to rain soon.
As he made his way through certain parts of the city, he heard a loud scream coming from one of the alleys.
"What the hell?" he said.
Dante ran over to where the scream originated and arrived at the nearest alley and what he saw next made him fill with anger, rage and hate and started to glow again and quietly reached for 3 of his Pokéballs.
In the alley were 6 punks that gave off some bad vibes and they cornered a girl who was around 17 with brown hair tied up in a pony tail and wearing some red clothing and has a well-developed body.
But these punks looked at the girl with less than good thoughts on their minds and pulled out some switch blades and were about to move in on the frightened girl when.
"STOP!"
A loud booming voice echoed throughout the alley, the punks turned to see a big figure walking towards them glowing with a green aura surrounding him.
"Who the hell are you?" said one of the punks.
What no one knows is when Dante see this kind of stuff happening he gets really angry, so angry that he starts glowing a green aura his eyes even under the eye patch turned red and when he is this pissed off, someone else takes control, another personality and he only pops up when Dante is this kind of angry and when's he done Dante resumes control, but for the moment he's taking the back seat.
"You can call me Castle." He said in a big deep voice.
The punks looked at 'Castle' with fear and anger, they focused on him so much they didn't noticed Haunter appearing behind the girl and told her to be quiet, the girl was frightened at first but she looked into Haunter's eyes and saw it didn't want to hurt her, but wanted to help her get away.
"So what do you want you bastard?" the punk leader snarled.
"I'll give you fools one chance and one only, leave the girl alone and I'll spare you, refuse and there will be trouble." Castle said ominously.
He then cracked his knuckles to get his point across.
Haunter carefully helped the girl to get away from the punks quickly and quietly and not to alert them and soon Haunter brought her over to Salamence who was waiting in the back and kept a mask of calm on its face and the girl climbed on it back and Salamence nodded to Haunter and Haunter nodded back, with 3 flaps of its wings, Salamence went up in the air high enough to be above the alley.
"Well then Mr. Macho why don't you just go piss off and let us have our fun with the girlie huh?" said one of the punks.
Castle then chuckled. "I think you fools need to take a closer look." He said.
The punks wondering what he meant did turned around only to find the girl was not there.
"WHAT?!" they shouted.
Then Salamence came down behind 'Castle' with the girl.
"Are you alright?" Castle asked.
The girl nodded.
"Ok Salamence take the girl to the roof and guard and don't come down until I give the order." Castle said.
Salamence grunted in agreement and flew up to the roof with the girls and stay put.
The punks were now angry and wanted some payback.
"Now you're going to pay for that!" they hissed.
'Castle' then got serious.
"I warned you and remember what I said if you refuse." He said in a deep voice.
Just then Dusclops emerged from the wall and stood by its trainer and Haunter floated over and the same.
Dusclops' one eye started to glow red with anger and Haunter's eyes glowed purple with the same feeling.
"Haunter use Haze." Castle said.
Haunter then took a deep breath and then releases a thick, black smoke from its mouth.
The haze engulfed the entire alley and the punks couldn't see a thing, they dropped their weapons as they coughed.
"Now then, time for some ass kicking!" Castle said.
For the next 25 minutes, the alley was filled with sounds of screaming, growling, grunting, punching, kicking and some bones being broken in the process.
When it was done, the haze faded away and out came 'Castle' with Haunter and Dusclops and behind them were the beaten up thugs that were covered up in scratches, bruises and a bit of blood and their fingers broken.
"I warned them." Castle said.
He thanked the ghost Pokémon for their help and return them to their Pokéballs and then he whistled for Salamence to come down with the girl and it did.
He then ask the girl if she was hurt and she shook her head no, then he asked her name and she said her name was Talyor-lee Sapphire or Ty-lee for short.
"Do you know where your place is Ty-lee?" Castle asked.
She nodded.
"OK just give me a moment." Castle said as took 4 steps back.
'Castle' took a couple of deep breaths as he slowly stopped glowing and he felt himself going back to the depths of Dante's mind as Dante was resuming control.
"I'm sending you the memories of what happened you better thank me for this later idiot." Said Castle.
'Oh bite me fool.' Dante responded in thought.
Dante then opened his eyes and looked at Ty-lee and Salamence.
"Ok let's get you home Ty-lee." Said Dante.
Salamence then flapped its wings and took off after Dante use his Pokégear to call the ambulance and the police on the punks.
Ty-lee held on to Dante as they made their way to her place, the dark clouds had flashes of lightning and thunder as it started to rain.
It took them about 20 minutes to arrive at Ty-lee's place, they landed at the entrance of an apartment complex, they got off and thanked Salamence and Dante recalled it back to its ball.
They soon went up to the 3rd floor of the complex and Ty-lee opened the door and let Dante in.
Soon the outside was raining hard.
"Have a seat as I go wash up." She said.
Dante nodded and went to go sit in a chair and Ty-lee went to go wash up.
As Ty-lee went to go washed up after tonight's event, Dante sat on the chair thinking of what happened.
'Damn it I can't believe Castle had to wake up, but at least it wasn't the other personality that woke up cause that would be very bad and unlike Castle he shows no mercy.' Dante thought.
'I'll look at the video later.' He added.
A few minutes later Ty-lee came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body and her hair down.
"Thank you for saving me." She said.
"Uh no problem." Said Dante.
Dante looked away cause he was blushing and well many naughty thoughts were swirling in his mind.
He then got up from the chair and turned around.
"Well I better get going, you take care and be more careful." He said as he made his way to the door.
But then he felt being hugged from behind.
"Huh?" Dante said surprised.
"Please don't leave me here and it's storming out there." Ty-lee said feeling really scared.
There was a loud boom from outside as thunder roared in the sky.
"Please I want to thank you for saving me." Said Ty-lee.
"There's no need to, I did what I had to do." Dante told her.
"But I insist." Ty-lee told him.
She then turned Dante around to face her and then kissed him on the lips.
Dante was surprised by that, when she pulled back, he looked into her grey=brown eyes and saw she was scared and wanted to be comforted.
"Please." She said in a soft tone.
Dante sighed and took a deep breath and exhale, then he kissed Ty-lee this time and she kissed back.
Then the fires within their bodies erupted as the kissing became a bit more faster, as Dante then picked up Ty-lee and carried her to the bed and then laid her on it and was pulled onto the bed and continued making out.
Soon everything was drowned out as the two were lost in a world of passion and gave in to their instincts and it lasted all night as the storm continued on.
(the next morning)
The storm has passed Celadon city and the morning sun came up to shine on the city.
Dante yawned and slowly opened his eyes.
"Whoa what a night." He said softly.
He looked around for his eye patch and saw it on the night stand, he grabbed it and put it over his left eye again.
Then he heard some light snoring.
Dante turned to see it was Ty-lee resting on his chest with her left hand on it as well.
Then all of the memories of last night came flooding back to him and he had this to say.
"Holy crap I never thought this would happen." He said to himself.
He looked around and saw his clothing and Ty-lee's towel on the floor and the bed was disheveled to say the least and they were both naked.
Just then Ty-lee woke up and yawned.
"Hey there muscles how was the reward?" she asked.
"Out of this world." Dante answered.
"Well I will admit you were amazing." She said.
"Thank you Ty-lee." Said Dante.
Soon both of them got up and Ty-lee went get a robe on as Dante went to shower to get cleaned up.
As Dante washed up, he remembered having some intense dreams after he fell asleep after having sex with Ty-lee and the dreams shown him, Ash and his friends along with a Pokémon called Lucario, Mew and a place called the tree of life and it was very intense and that made him have a bit of a cold sweat.
"Looks like Ash is having a very intense adventure over there and it looked serious, well if I know him, he'll save the day, after all he's the chosen one." Dante said to himself.
After he washed up, he came out and got his clothes on and went to sit down at the table as Ty-lee made some breakfast and she joined him.
After breakfast, Dante help cleaned up the left overs as Ty-lee showered, after she dried off and got dressed and gathered some things, they left her apt and then headed out into the city.
"So what are you going to do now?" Dante asked.
"Well I'm going to go stay with some friends of mine up in Lavender town, I'll let them know I'm coming." Said Ty-lee.
"Ok but how are you going to get there?" Dante asked.
"I'll take the bus there." She told him.
"Ok then." Replied Dante.
Soon they got to the bus station and got her a ticket.
"Well I better get going then, I got to go meet up with some friends of mine, one of them challenging the battle frontier." Said Dante.
"Well before you go can we exchange numbers?" Ty-lee asked.
Dante nodded and they got their Pokégear's out and exchange their numbers so they can call each other when they want to talk or if Ty-lee is in trouble.
Dante then brought out Salamence and got on its back.
Just then the bus arrived.
"Well my bus is here and Dante." She said.
Dante turned to her and she went up and kissed him on the lips and then pulled back.
"See you around." She said as she turned around and got on her bus and then left.
Salamence saw its trainer's expression and laughed.
"Shut up." Said Dante.
Then they took off and headed for the Pokémon center near the battle arena.
It took them a few days but they arrived at the location.
Dante thanked Salamence for the flight and recalled it back to its ball.
After checking in with Nurse Joy and getting his Pokémon a check-up, Dante decided to do some intense training.
(a few days later)
Ash and the gang arrived and reunited with Dante and told him of their adventures and what happened, including what happened in Rota, Brock's Mudkip evolved into Marshtomp, meeting James' grandparents and May and Max learning that James comes from a rich family.
"Damn!" said Dante.
Dante told them that he met with his friend and also saved someone but kept it at that because he didn't want to tell what happened not yet.
"So Ash are you ready for the battle arena?" Dante asked.
"I am fired up!" said Ash.
"Good now then, let's get some dinner and get some rest." Said Dante.
After dinner, everyone then went to bed, Max and Brock were sleeping in one room and May was sleeping with Ash after the events in Rota and didn't want to be alone and Pikachu slept behind their heads.
As for Dante he was on the roof looking at the night skies and wonders what did his visions meant.
"I have a feeling that something bad, something ancient, something sinister is rising." He said.
He then went back inside and went to sleep.
(Meanwhile at some unknown ruins between Lavender town and Saffron city)
A dense fog covered the ruins, it was remains of a pokémon civilization that once existed so long ago but something still remains something dangerous.
A dark shadow moved through the fog with malicious intent.
'After meeting up with contact and saving a girl named Ty-lee Sapphire from some punks, Dante has acquired some info, regarding the mysterious team emerald, but after reuniting with Ash, a dark presence has awakened in some ruins what can it all mean? Find out next time, as Ash takes on Greta in the battle arena, as the journey continues!'
(To be continued)
OK that ends this chapter.
Sorry it took so long, holidays and stuff.
Now in the next chapter Ash will face Greta but there will be some small changes to the battle, which will be shown in the chapter.
Now as I stated Ash's harem list will be updated.
Ash's harem: May, Misty, Lily, Violet, Daisy, Anabel, Greta, Flannery, Roxanne, Winona, Liza from Johto, Melody, Casey, Whitney, Jasmine, Clair, Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny, Erica, Sabrina, Domino, Annie, Oakley, Dawn. The list will update again in ch28.
Now as for Dante he will get a harem but his list will be revealed in ch27.
Now as for the girl Ty-Lee Sapphire, Yes she is based on the ATLA counterpart but no chi blocking moves.
And yes Dante and Ty-lee did slept together but no lemon in the story yet, that will come much later.
Now another thing I have a poll regarding Ash and him catching more Pokémon, so when ch28 comes base on the votes Ash will catch those 3 Pokémon, so you have until 1/21 to vote and make the choice, cause on 1/21 around 2pm the polls will closed and the results will be shown and the one choice that has the most votes those 3 Pokémon will be the ones that Ash catches next.
Also one more thing this story is once again on Hiatus until April as I got 5 other stories to update but I will be working on ch26 sometime around mid-February.
Also I asked if James should challenge Jessibelle to a battle to break off their engagement. I got a couple of responses saying he should and well it's decided when Ash is in Sinnoh and encounter's Jessibelle again James will battle her.
Another thing you saw Dante shifted Personality, which will be explained in ch28.
Also later on Ash and the others will face off against the ancient Haunter called the Black Fog.
Ok that's it for now, I must rest and then get to work on 2 chapters for 2 stories that have been long overdue for updates.
So I must be off.
So Read and Review.
No rude insults and no rude reviews.
Until next time everyone
This is wolfdrake29 heading out into the night.
Later…
Bonus Question: Should Ash catch a Dunsparce? Let me know.
Bye everyone…
