Making his way up to the grand library, Ash walked by many of his slaves. He waved to them, and vice verse, but something gnawed him in the back of his mind. He wondered if they truly were happy living this way. While it was true he saw them as devout sex toys for his own personal use, something he took immense satisfaction in, he worried that if such a life was truly desired.
He set out to enslave to world, all in the name of world peace. At first, many battles were fought, and then after that, several years of peace and prosperity were brought to his kingdom. His method worked, but after he decided to tweak his approach, he saw such folly when his sister was harassed on the beach. What he needed to do was what he originally did 6 years prior, but he wondered how the girls would view him, if they were of sound mind.
Finally making it to the grand library of the Palace, Ash entered, making his presence known to one of his oldest slaves.
"Hello, Cynthia." Ash greeted her with a wave.
"Ah, hello, my Master!" She waved eagerly to him, beckoning him over.
Ash bit his lips at his enthralled puppet. Cynthia had her luscious blonde hair up in a pony tail, it's ends reaching just past her shoulders. Her face was adorned with a pair of seductive reading glasses, their fine shape giving her the appearance of a straight laced, yet equally horny librarian. With a black suit jacket exposing her cleavage and a matching miniskirt to complete the get upl Ash had to suppress every aching feeling he had for her, his hormones screaming out for him to take her from behind, to put her face down into the desk she currently sat and filled her ass full of his cock.
Shaking himself back to reality, Ash sat at the table opposite of Cynthia, before taking a deep breath. He had to get the truth from Cynthia, but he knew if what he did in the past with other girls, using his Mind Stone to bring back their old personalities, he knew her answer may be affected by her drug addict-like desire to be under the Mind Stone's effects. Even though the Stones of Power all merged into Ash years ago, their powers still remained essentially the same, as well as their weakness and inability to suppress the will of Aura Users.
Like Misty and Serena before, Cynthia awakened her ability to wield Aura under the effects of the Mind Stone. If Ash released his control fully, he would never be able to claim her without breaking her mind the other way. Regardless, Ash steeled himself, resolved to seek truth.
"Cynthia, look into my eyes for a moment." Ash commanded his slave.
"Why of course, my Master!" Cynthia obeyed, making direct eye contact with her usurper. "After all they are...such...beautiful...eyes..."
Cynthia's voiced trailed off, her mind fixated on the rainbow glow emitting from Ash's pupils.
"Through the power of the Stone of Life, dictator of fates and life itself. I release you from my hold." Ash spoke, reciting an incantation. "The touch of the Life Stone shall leave your mind forever. You are free."
As the glow from her King's eyes faded, Cynthia first stared off into the distance before her head slightly throbbed. Clutching at her head, Cynthia's mind was released from the blissful command of the Mind Stone. As memories of the past nearly full 7 years passed through her mind in the blink of an eye, Cynthia recomposed herself, her reaction quite a bit different from Misty's upon her release.
"Master, you freed me? Why?" Cynthia asked, her reaction surprising Ash.
Sitting there in silence, Ash could only look at his slave in shock. He knew he certainly used the Life Stone's powers on her. The drug like effect of the Mind Stone making its targets desire enslavement.
"I'm afraid I'm at a loss for words here. I was surely expecting you to get mad at me for making you a sex slaves for the last near 7 years of your life." Ash spoke, still surprised by Cynthia's tame reaction.
"Master, I've been under your thrall for so long, I doubt any other life is for me to enjoy." Cynthia replied, holding to using Ash' title of Master. "And all that besides, I always respected strength. I promised myself the moment a man could prove to be my better, I would try my hardest for him to love me."
"Seriously?!" Ash said, glad that Cynthia was still willing to obey. "That's fantastic, my sexy little pet!"
"I do hope that you know what you were doing when you freed my mind, though." Cynthia spoke up.
"Why say that?" Ash asked.
"My slave sisters and I, or at least I once was, linked together through the Stone. We can feel each other's emotions through our Aura. I know none of the slaves wish to be freed from their blissful servitude. Leaving them without the Mind Stone's thrall to chain their mind, body and soul would leave them open to other mental suggestion."
"Like a Hypno's hypnosis?" Ash asked.
"Not just that! There are many ways to break someone to serve as a slave. Torture, brainwashing, and even special technologies, like what organizations used to possess Pokémon in the past." Cynthia reminded Ash. "But, in the end, the brilliance of the Mind Stone that now lives within you is the perfect means to subjugate the world. I may be free from it now, but I know my place in life still. I'll be your perfect little slave girl forever."
Ash chuckled, walking up to Cynthia who was still in her chair. Running his fingers through her luscious golden locks, Ash smiled at his thrall, holding her head back over the headrest, keeping her in place.
"Good girl!" He chuckled, rewarding his slave with as kiss of dominance, forcing his tongue into her mouth.
Not fighting it for even a moment, Cynthia remained relaxed in her lover's hold, letting his tongue flail about in her mouth. Reaching up to gently caress her Master's cheek in one hand, her other began to go into her skirt, inserting two of her fingers into her now gently damp pussy. Reaching his free hand to join her in the fun, Ash guided his slave's fingers across her slit, gently massaging her entrance with his own fingers every now and then before returning to guide her hand with his own.
The two continued their session of pleasure for only a few moments longer before the doors to the library opened once more. It was Dawn, wearing an attire similar to the one she wore when traveling with Ash, all those years ago, being even more skimpy than before. With her bubbly ass and perky tits, Dawn casually greeted the two intimate occupants of the room before sitting down across from them, touching herself to the sight.
"Always a joy to see you pleasuring my mistress, my Master!" Dawn spoke up, her left hand massaging her clit whilst her right hand massaged her breasts.
"Glad you enjoy the sight, slave." Ash replied, getting up from playing with his blonde slave. "I trust that you can finish yourself, right slave?"
"Yes, my Master!" Cynthia moaned quietly, still fiddling with her pussy.
"Dawn, I've something to take care of first. After that, I wished to see you for something." Ash turned to his other slave.
"Of course, my Lord!" Dawn gasped obediently, still playing with herself. "I will await you in my quarters!"
Leaving the library, Ash began to look for Serena, feeling a desire to speak with his favorite slave. Going down to the palace grounds, Ash found several of his slaves having a fulfilling day of play. May and Diantha we're having a make out session in the grass. Sabrina, Bea and Korrina were meditating underneath one of the many massive trees decorating the premises. Marnie and Malva were sparring together, training their Pokémon.
All these girls were having the time of their lives in servitude, and yet the women Ash wished to speak with was off on her own, further into the great acres of land Ash had inside his palace grounds. Making his way further into the ranch, Ash was met with a spectacular sight. It was Serena, donning her contest attire, with the blue ribbon Ash gave to her when they were kids tied around her neck like a choker.
"Pancham, use Dark Pulse! Delphox, use Mystical Fire! And Sylveon, finish it with a swift!" Serena commanded.
As her Pokémon filled the open air with their dazzling attacks, Ash walked up to the group, clapping his hands in admiration.
"I see even as the Queen of Alola, you still continue to find time with your passions!" Ash happily spoke, grinning at his wife's devotion to Pokémon contests and performances.
"I may be your slave, but I don't want to get rusty!" Serena replied, smiling at her husband. "I hope that if I can put on performances for the people of our Kingdom, more and more people looking from the outside world can see how beneficial it is for you to guide us."
"You good to talk? I was thinking you and I haven't been alone to chat." Ash offered, holding his hand out to his wife.
"Yeah!" She smiled eagerly, taking his hand, letting his guide her as they walked through to vast fields wishing the palace's confines.
The two walked for a while, simply enjoying each other's presence. The feelings they had ever since they were children were still as strong as ever. The fiery passion of their love ever strong. Knowing he could confide in Serena with anything, Ash felt comfortable with asking what he was about to ask her next.
"Hey Serena?" He spoke.
"Yeah, darling?" She replied, looking up with a cute, innocent smile.
"What have I become in your eyes?" He asked.
"Huh?" Serena asked, stopping in confusion.
"I wanted to ask you if I'm becoming something repulsive. Something evil." Ash followed up.
"What on earth makes you think that?!" She replied, now concerned for her husband's mental state.
"We were only kids at the time. When we met again in Hoenn, I felt feelings for you that I had no time to put into words." He began to describe. "That kiss you gave me awoke many feelings, many desires in me. I feel like I've become something I shouldn't have become."
"You don't mean..!" Serena gasped, releasing her hand from Ash's to face him head on.
"I don't blame you." Ash made sure to insist. "The problem is my own demons. I haven't touched my slave girls in a long time because of my doubts. I've begin to fear what I am doing is no better than other villainous gangs. I spoke to Annabel earlier today and even Cynthia just before you. Part of me feels their words to convince me make sense, but something hasn't sat quite right with me."
"Darling, if there's any doubts or worries you have, let me help share that burden. I don't say this as a slave! Im saying this as your wife! I could sense something was off with you, but I'm not as strong as you are in aura. I had no idea you were struggling with this dilemma for so long." Serena replied, desperate for her love to reach the man in need.
"I feel like our friends, our family." Ash said somberly. "Worst of all, I fear I betrayed you, the woman I love most. Im unsure if what I've done to the world is acceptable, even if Arceus bestowed his powers and blessing to me. I feel like I need to set my mind straight."
"Honey, I can only imagine the stress you're feeling right now as the World's king. Please, let me help you!" "Serena begged her lover, showing her husband the hand that bore her wedding ring. "This right here is a symbol of devotion. I wanted to be your slave to help you in your time of need. Well, I don't want you to see me as a slave or tool right now. I want you to see me for being someone who can help you through everything! Just let me help you through this! I can sense what you're about to say, please reconsider!"
"I feel like I've done enough damage." Ash said, his mind set up, gently wrapping his arms around his wife, embracing her gently. "I think I need to go out and see the world. I need to cut myself off from my powers. Experience life in a way I use to as a kid. With my Pokémon besides me. I need some clarity. I need to see the world how the rest of the world sees my rule. Only then can I continue with a clear conscience."
"Well, at least take me with you!" Serena demanded. "I can't stand the thought of your depression bringing you trouble! Let us work through it together!"
"No. You're the Queen, remember? You're needed to lead our country." Ash replied, set in his convictions. "The world fighting us, friends like Go hating me for what I've become. I need clarity if I'm to move forward. Live life for a time under more humble conditions. It's all that can clear up my unease. If I can't find the answers I'm looking for, I will undo what I've done. If all my work has only brought suffering, I cannot live with that."
"If your plan was to leave from the start, why did you even need to talk to me?" Serena asked, her heart feeling torn as if she was inadequate in her husband's time of need.
Sensing his wife on the verge of tears, Ash embraced her once more, kissing her on the forehead. Holding her by the arms, Ash looked her dead into her eyes.
"Don't blame yourself, Serena." Ash reminded her. "I may have regrets about what's happened since I got all this power, but there's one thing I'd never take back. I love you, so so much! That bond in the aura we share, that's no coincidence. You're so loyal, so loving and so genuine. I almost think I don't deserve someone as beautiful as you in my life. Don't worry, I'll be back. I just need to allay my doubts."
"Ash..!" Serena whimpered, tearing up a little. "If I can't do anything for you right now, at least let me be of help when you leave!"
Taking the blue ribbon her lover gave her many years ago, Serena placed the old, but well kept gift her husband gave her back to him.
"Take it. For good luck, if nothing else." She insisted, taking his hand into hers to ensure he accepted her wish. "If I can't be with you in person, let our ribbon be our connection."
"Thank you, Serena." Ash smiled.
Embracing her one last time, Ash gave her a gentle, genuine kiss on the lips. Not one of lust of desire, but of love and appreciation. Turning away, Ash began to walk back to the main ground to retrieve a handful of his Pokémon before Serena called out to him.
"Don't keep me waiting too long, darling!" Serena shouted across the field.
"I kept you waiting for so long as kids! I won't be long, babe! I promise!" Ash ensured her, waving goodbye.
After that, Ash began to silently depart from the Palace, gathered a few of his Pokémon.
"Let's see, Greninja, Dragonite, Lucario, Infernape, Charizard. All are here, except one." Ash said, turning to the children's quarters.
Seeing Pikachu off by himself, finally relieved from playing with the kids, Ash greeted his long time partner.
"Hey Pikachu, you wanna come along with me?" Ash offered his Pokémon.
"Pika?" The electric mouse questioned, sensing something different about Ash from the moment he spoke.
"It's been a while since we traveled, hasn't it? Why don't we head out for a while and go and explore for old time's sake?" Ash offered his Pokémon.
Seeing that something was off about he usually acted, yet hardly one to turn down time with his trainer, Pikachu decided to come along. Jumping onto his trainer's shoulder, Pikachu and Ash gave each other a fist bump. It wasn't long before Ash left the compound, ensuring that he need not explain himself twice.
"Serena's strong. I'm sure she's got what it takes to lead them in my stead. After all, big sis will be there to help her too." Ash thought to himself.
After getting far enough down the road, Ash intended to commit to his rule to cut himself off from his god powers. Instead, Ash called upon his trusty Dragonite to help him leave the Region.
"It's time to see the world from a more open perspective." Ash thought to himself as Dragonite carried him on its back, facing the setting sun as he headed towards Kanto.
Meanwhile, as this happened, in the very Region Ash began to travel to, sinister forces unfamiliar to the world began to execute their plans.
"Everything gone according to plan?" A shadowy figure asked their cohorts over a computer monitor.
"Yes, sir. Zossie and I have begun our experiments on the Kanto population. Those we'd kidnapped prove fruitful for our Project Prism. Subjects of the mind control chip experiment placid and obedience to the augment in our bio suits. They're are still some failures however. Unsure of what causes such inconsistency as of yet." The mature voice of a woman returned over the monitor, reporting her findings.
"Just be careful, Dulse reported an influx of the Alola Kingdom's soldiers investigating in your usual hunting grounds. It seems like Kanto finally decided to play ball with Ash Ketchum, almost certainly from our activities. I'd advise you reconnoiter new prospects. We are still a few steps away from letting the Supreme Chosen knowing of our existence." The man in the monitor insisted.
"Of course, Phyco. I have the utmost confidence they won't discover our operations. You need not worry. Once I get more promising stock, I will send them all via Ultra Wormhole to HQ. Cutting communications now." The woman relayed, terminating the transmission.
"Those Kingdom Soldiers are quite impressive, aren't they Soliera?" The mature woman's subordinate replied in a bubbly manner. "Having the tech to track long range transmissions is quite a technological feat. Perhaps the URS could reach out to this Supreme Chosen? I hear he has the means to help us with our predicament back home."
"We will rely on his power if benefits outweigh the risks, Zossie." Soliera replied, stepping into the dim light of their underground base, her slightly blue skin soaking in the rays of the lamp. The Ultra Recon Squad employs slavery. As a leading figure in slaves on this planet, this man may just see us as a threat to his rule. And who's the say he'd be wrong to think so? These people he rules are being taken for our own means. I doubt he'd play ball with us. He'd sooner see our destruction."
"Unless we take something of his more 'personal'." Zossie replied.
"I'm eager to hear what you have in mind." Soliera hummed in eagerness.
