Chapter 9

I know that some are wondering how Issei came to the Pokémon world and why he's been gone for so long, but rest assured that this chapter will cover at least the reasons why Issei entered the Pokémon world and when he revealed his identity as the Red Dragon Emperor, as well as a brief explanation of how Ash and Issei met each other and became an honorary member of the Ketchum family.

Now, let's begin!

Ash was sitting next to the phones and speaking to his brother while they were waiting on the results of having Miraidon checked up on by Nurse Joy of the Pokémon Center.

Ash thought that if anyone had advice on how to help Mira, it would be his brother, and surprisingly, Issei had some interesting advice about how to help Mira.

{I'm still surprised Mira is actually one of those strange Pokémon that have been appearing in some of the regions, but if some damage to her is the case, then I think it's best you focus on helping her physical condition and make sure she's gaining electricity since she needs it to keep her engine running. It's like a car when the battery is leaking out more electricity than the car needs to start up. If her core is unharmed, then she'll be fine, but if the core is harmed, then you'll need a more skilled engineer to help repair the damage to Mira.}

Issei explained that he had been reading the results of the investigation about the Paradox Pokemon while Ash nodded thoughtfully, absorbing his brother's advice.

"Thanks, Issei. I'll make sure to keep an eye on her core and get her to an engineer if it comes to that. Do you have any suggestions on where I can find someone who specializes in this?"

Issei's voice crackled slightly over the phone. {Actually, yes. There's a well-known engineer in the Unova region who is very skilled in both electric and steel Pokémon. He's done extensive research on both types and might have the expertise to help with Miraidon's core if it's damaged. But hopefully, Nurse Joy will have good news for you.}

As if on cue, Nurse Joy emerged from the examination room, holding a clipboard and wearing a reassuring smile. Ash quickly thanked his brother and hung up, standing up to greet Nurse Joy.

"How's Mira?" Ash asked, a hint of worry in his voice.

Nurse Joy's smile widened. "Miraidon's core is intact, which is great news. She does have some external damage from whatever beat her so ruthlessly, but with proper care and enough electricity, she'll recover well. I recommend regular treatments at the Pokémon Center to make sure she's getting better and some special herb supplements from Paldea that will help her regain her strength faster."

Ash sighed in relief. "Thank you so much, Nurse Joy. I'll make sure to follow your instructions."

As he prepared to leave the Pokémon Center, Ash felt a renewed sense of determination. He knew that with the right care and attention, Miraidon would be back to her full strength in no time. And with Issei's advice in mind, he was confident that he could handle any challenges that came their way.

Heading out into the bright sunshine, Ash glanced at Miraidon, who was resting but looked more at ease now. "Alright, Mira," he said softly, "let's get you back to full power."

Mira smiled as she was thankful that Ash was still fine while Domino was speaking to Nurse Joy, who was smiling at Domino while speaking in code.

"Thank you for all your help, Nurse Joy," Domino said, but the nurse heard the real sentence. (Inform Giovanni about Mira's condition. What about iron treads?)

Nurse Joy nodded subtly, responding in the same coded manner. "Of course, it's always a pleasure to help," she said, her eyes conveying a different message. (Miraidon's core is stable, but she's vulnerable. Iron Treads has been sent to the base for further analysis to see if we could find its origin location.)

Domino gave a polite nod before turning to Ash. "Ash, it looks like Mira's going to be just fine. Do you need any help with her recovery?" she asked, her tone friendly but her eyes calculating.

Ash, oblivious to the underlying tension, smiled gratefully. "Thanks, Domino, but I think we've got it covered. I'm just glad she's going to be okay."

Domino's smile didn't quite reach her eyes. "That's great to hear. Well, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be around."

As Domino walked away, Ash couldn't shake a feeling of unease. Something about the way she interacted with Nurse Joy felt off, but he pushed the thought aside, focusing on Miraidon's recovery.

"Alright, Mira," Ash said, patting her gently. "Let's get you some rest and those supplements Nurse Joy mentioned."

As Ash and Miraidon left the Pokémon Center, Domino made a quick call to Giovanni, her expression serious. "Giovanni, I have an update on Miraidon. Her core is stable, but she's vulnerable right now. And Iron Treads is headed back to back thanks to the transportation device. What are your orders?"

Giovanni's voice was cold and calculating. "Keep an eye on Ash and Miraidon. Report any significant changes to Miraidon immediately. And we'll keep an eye on this Iron Treads. We should be able to locate where they were brought from before we make a move."

Domino nodded. "Understood. I'll keep you updated."

As she hung up, Domino's mind was already racing with plans. She knew she had to tread carefully, but the potential power of Miraidon and Iron Treads was too valuable to ignore since it would help Team Rocket locate a dangerous enemy and put them down. And Domino would do whatever it took to ensure Team Rocket came out on top.

Still, Domino was glad Mira was alright since she was worried about the Iron Serpent's condition, but thankfully, Nurse Joy was able to look after her very well.

'But something still bothers me. Who was it that sent Iron Treads after Miraidon, and why do they want her?' Domino asked herself, but there was actually one person who knew the answer to that question.

Someone who was brought from another world.

And that someone was none other than Issei Hyoudou, due to his cult, the Dragon Guardians; they were finished with their investigation of the Paradox Pokémon that were showing up in Paldea and now Hoenn.

Fortunately, one of said Guardians was able to receive the information from the others in Paldea, leaving Issei with Gardenia, the Sinnoh Grass Type Gym Leader, who was currently purring in joy as she rubbed her head on his lap like an affectionate cat that's reunited with its master.

"Today must've been a long day. You're not usually this hungry for affection right off the bat." Issei said since he recalled Gardenia being this affectionate with her Grass Pokémon, but when she became a member of the Dragon Guardians, let's say that she became a loyal member of the cult, which led to her loving her master gentle and caring side so much as if he was a protector to all creatures big and small which made sense since Issei has saved their world many times from threats that would've destroyed it.

Issei smiled as he petted Gardenia, feeling a deep sense of contentment. Despite the ongoing concerns about the Paradox Pokémon and the threats they posed, moments like these reminded him of the simple joys in life. Gardenia's purring was soothing, a reminder of the bond they shared through the Dragon Guardians.

"Gardenia, you've really become quite the affectionate member of our group," Issei said, his tone warm. "I'm glad you're here with us, helping with the investigation and providing support."

Gardenia nuzzled closer, her eyes closing in contentment. "I'm just happy to be here, Issei-sama. The work we do is important, and it's a pleasure to serve alongside you and the others."

Gardenia found joy and bliss in Issei when he was either complimenting her or being affectionate with her, which made the Grass specialist love her master even when he planted his seed into her when she was given one wish when she helped a great deal in dealing with Team Galactic's forces when Issei called his Guardians to assist him in battle.

Issei then opened his mouth and revealed his teeth, which made Gardenia wet herself before stifling her moans as she felt Issei mark her neck. That made Gardenia feel so blessed by her master until Issei then took off Gardenia's clothes, which made Gardenia blush a bit as she covered her bust while on her master's bed.

"Gardenia. Don't hide from me since you are so beautiful, just like an extremely rare flower that is one of its kind but requires a special touch to truly bring out its inner beauty." Issei said, which made Gardenia blush as she took off her hands to reveal her C-cup bust, which made her feel inferior to the other women in the cult since they were more developed than her in many other areas, even with the blessing that her master gave to him when he first marked her in bed.

Issei growled a bit since he cared about each of his mates and decided to help her destroy the doubts in Gardenia's heart. He then kissed her lips and rubbed her breasts, which made Gardenia moan lewdly due to her chest being sensitive but loving her master's touch until their lips parted with Gardenia panting heavily just after one kiss.

"I-Issei-sama. Please water my flower." Gardenia said as she flipped over to reveal the roots of her 'flower' which Issei obliged as he began to water her roots so much she became waterlogged and collapsed on the bed with a smile on her face before Issei took her to the bathroom of his room and cleaned her up as well as himself.

[I take it the Rose has been pleased?]

'In more ways than one.'

[Hahah! Ah, there's my partner, and I think you weren't this confident in yourself when we first started in this world when Arceus brought us to the world.] Ddraig said, which made Issei feel a bit nostalgic. He recalled the first day Arceus summoned him to her world.

'I remember that day all too well. It was when Azazel and I were going to begin training, thinking I would train with Tanin.' Issei said before reminiscing about the day he was isolated in another world.

Flashback.

"Where am I?" Issei asked himself before looking to see he was in a large room that looked similar to a throne room until he heard a voice speak to him.

"Azazel wasn't wrong. You are even more handsome in person." The voice said, making Issei turn to see that the beautiful feminine voice was from a goddess standing before him.

The woman had long silver hair with eyes that looked like that of perfectly cut emeralds. Her body was sculpted to perfection. She had a healthy K-cup bust, with amazingly flared hips and a nice round ass. The woman's thighs were nicely toned, while her lovely long legs were incredibly smooth. And lastly, the goddess-like woman wore a white and grey kimono with gold ascents.

The woman in question summoned two cushions and a small table in front of her that had a bow of tangerines and a steaming pot of tea along with two cups.

"Greetings, Issei Hyoudou, the Red Dragon Emperor. I'm very relieved to have found you before you began your so-called training with that wannabe Dragon." The woman said as she gestured to the cushion in front of her.

"Would you care for some tea and tangerines? You must be starved after hardly eating anything after your... battle with Vali." The woman said as she soon took a seat on one of the cushions and began pouring a cup of tea for herself and Issei. Issei watched the woman closely as she poured him some tea. Issei got distracted by the woman's large chest for a moment before he snapped himself out of it and sat down on the other cushion behind him.

The beautiful woman smiled inwardly, as she was proud of her choice of attire since she was hoping she would be able to show off her body and assets. As she finished pouring the tea, the woman gave it to Issei, who thanked her after receiving it before he took a sip of it. Issei's eyes widened before he smiled.

"Wow. That's some amazing tea. It's actually better than the tea that Akeno normally brews." Issei complimented, making the woman smile and mentally patting herself on the back for studying the amateur way to make tea, just like Akeno did in the clubroom.

"Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Before we continue, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Arceus, the Goddess and Mother of all Pokemon. Now then, about your... predicament. I wanted to give you something that I think you'll be very interested in." Arceus said as Issei raised a brow, hoping that it wasn't the common trope seen in many isekai anime.

"And before you say anything, no, you do not have to defeat some Demon Lord like in those anime you watched as a kid." Arceus said, much to Issei's shock. This made the goddess smirk mischievously before she pulled out a red dragon plushy from her bosom, much to both Issei and Ddraig's surprise.

'...Woah.'

[Indeed.]

Arceus giggled at their response to her pocket dimension in her bosom before speaking to them. "You could say that I'm quite the fan of yours and that I've watched your world quite a few times now since it can get rather boring around here. Now, many would say that your wish to become Harem King is a pipe dream, but you are very determined to make it come true while caring for the ones you love the most. However, I've noticed in your heart and mind that your relationship with the girls is more friends than lovers. Is there a reason why since I assumed your first lover was that Gremory girl, right?"

Issei rubbed the back of his head before he replied to her.

"Well, that's not really true," Issei said before taking a sip of his tea and replied. "Rias and I are more master and servant but good friends. Akeno does flirt with me, but it's more for her teasing pleasure. Asia and I are dating for real, but as for Irina, it's a bit awkward since she's an Angel and doesn't want to fall, so she can't exactly indulge in sexual desires or thoughts. As for Xenovia, she wants to bear my child since I'm the Red Dragon, so I'm not hoping she will change her mind and try a real relationship."

Issei said that Rias and Akeno were wonderful, but the former preferred having a platonic relationship with him, while Akeno seemed to enjoy messing with him for fun. Asia and Irina were the only girls in their group who seemed interested in him genuinely, so he asked them out, and they were happy to be his girlfriends, which was easier for the nun than the Angel due to her not being able to think of sexual things unless she wishes to become a Fallen.

Xenovia and Koneko, on the other hand, are basically the same since the former exorcist said she wants his baby and has tried many times to bear his child while his relationship with Koneko is the same.

"I see," Arceus said before placing her cup down and getting down to business. "Now, I'm sure you are wondering why I summoned you here, but first, I wish to inform you that Azazel is aware of where you are and personally asked me to help you grow since he was concerned about you being stronger in your future battles. Azazel said that being here would allow you to not only improve your strength but also gain new perspectives and experiences that could prove crucial in the battles ahead. He believes that the challenges you face in this world will test and refine your abilities in ways that your previous training might not have."

Issei listened attentively, his curiosity piqued by Arceus's explanation. "So, what exactly do you want me to do here?"

Arceus leaned forward slightly, her eyes glinting with a mixture of warmth and determination. "In this world, there are creatures and powers that exist beyond your usual understanding. The Pokémon, for instance, are integral to this world's balance. I was hoping you could help maintain that balance, especially now that anomalies like criminal organizations are appearing. Your strength as the Red Dragon Emperor and your unique skills will be invaluable in this task."

Issei nodded, taking in the gravity of the situation. "I understand. I'll do my best. But why choose me specifically? I know there are other strong beings out there in my world."

"...If you help my world and my Chosen One, then I'll explain why I asked for you," Arceus said before she sent Issei to the Pokémon world where he was in for an exciting but difficult adventure that would help Issei grow as a person.

End Flashback

[And to think that it was only after Ash and his friends were about to head to the Pokémon League in Kanto that we were able to meet them and become part of the Ketchum family.] Ddraig said, which made Issei smile since he enjoyed meeting with Ash and his friends back in Pallet Town when Ash gained his eighth badge and the few months they bonded were special to the Ketchum Brothers, and it was when the league ended that Issei said he was heading to the Sinnoh region to challenge the gyms there to be a Champion of his region one day.

'Yeah. It really was fun, being able to not only have a little brother but also a second family. Despite the chaos that we went through while in this world, I grew not only as a person but a better user of the Boosted Gear and Champion.

[Indeed you have, and I couldn't be any prouder of you. Especially since you were able to get the Distortion Goddess as one of your mates.] Ddraig chuckled while recalling some of Issei's legendary girlfriends. Issei blushed, recalling the few legendary girlfriends he had before replying to change the subject.

'It was still strange seeing the original sins here in this world and leading peaceful lives.'

[Heh. It's due to them being away from a war and no longer desiring for chaos, they decided to settle down. I'm happy for your Senseis since each of them helped you, especially when you were trying to master Aura and the fighting styles in the Galar region.]

'Heh. That was a chaotic few months since I never would've thought that we would've met the original Maou there on the isles. Except for Mammon, that is.' Issei said, recalling Mustard Sensei, who was really Belphegor, Levia Sensei, and his other Sensei.

Their conversation was interrupted by a soft beeping sound. Issei glanced at the device on his wrist, a communication tool linking him to the Dragon Guardians' network. He tapped it to answer the incoming message.

"Issei," came the voice of one of the Guardians, "we've got a new lead. There's been unusual activity in the Kanto region. It might be related to a Paradox Pokémon that just showed up."

Issei's expression grew serious. "What kind of activity?"

"There have been sightings of Pokémon behaving erratically, and we've detected a faint signal that resembles the energy signatures we observed in Paldea."

Issei stood up, gently brushing Gardenia's hair away from his lap. "Thanks for the update. I'll head to Kanto immediately to investigate. Keep monitoring the situation in Paldea and inform me of any significant developments."

Gardenia looked up at him, her expression a mix of concern and curiosity. "You're leaving?"

Issei nodded. "Yes, it seems there's more to this mystery that needs to be uncovered. But don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I can. Keep up the good work here, and I'll make sure we're all in the loop."

With that, Issei prepared to depart. As he gathered his belongings and activated his teleportation magic, he couldn't help but reflect on the complexity of the situation. The Paradox Pokémon were becoming increasingly problematic, and the presence of Iron Treads and Miraidon indicated a larger scheme at play.

As Issei arrived in Kanto, more specifically Vermillion City Gym, he scanned the area outside the city for the strange energy until he felt it was coming from the Power Plant, the home to the legendary bird Zapdos.

"Why would a Paradox Pokémon come here?" Issei asked himself before Kora appeared from her Pokeball and had a serious look on her face.

"This scent is familiar to me. I've faced a being with this scent back in my time."

"So you know who this is?"

"Maybe," Kora said as the duo got closer to the power plant, where a Pokémon was standing on top of the building, gathering up all of the electricity within it.

The Pokémon seemed to resemble a Magneton but different since it was a blue-grey creature made up of three balls with screws attached to each head. They possess four magnets on their bodies, two attached to the top head and two attached to the bottom heads, using the latter two as legs. The tips of each magnet are coated in tufts of iron filings, with tufts of similar shape and size existing on the top of the main head's body, as well as a tail. They have yellow eyes, and the main head has purple markings that look like eyeshadow, as well as four black dots resembling a mouth.

Kora growled as she recognized this Pokémon before speaking to Issei.

"This is a Sandy Shocks. Annoying little bug since it seems to enjoy attacking anyone that got near it and loved thunderstorms since it tries to gather up the lightning from said storms."

"So whoever sent Sandy Shocks here wants it to absorb all of the Power plant power?"

"Yes. Lucky for us, Sandy Shocks is an Electric and Ground type, meaning we can use it to our advantage. Plus, I can tell it used its shiny armor to prevent any Grass moves from harming it." Kora said while Issei noticed that it was using Mirror Coat.

'I get it, so shiny armor is basically Mirror Coat, and if that's the case, then we'll just need to barrel our way with physical attacks.' Issei said before tapping Kora on the shoulder.

"Listen. I'll draw its attention while you get Collision Course ready." Issei said as he headed out and waved at the Paradox Pokemon.

"Hey, Sandy Cheeks! Over here!" Issei shouted, which got Sandy Shock's attention immediately captured, and turned its multiple heads toward Issei. Its yellow eyes gleamed with an electric intensity as it emitted a low, menacing hum. The Pokémon's body crackled with a surge of electricity, its magnetized limbs twitching in anticipation.

Kora, watching from her concealed position, began charging up her attack. She knew that Issei's distraction would be crucial in creating the opening she needed. As Sandy Shocks focused on Issei, its body pulsed with energy, and its movements became increasingly erratic, a clear sign of its agitation.

Issei dodged a stray bolt of lightning from Sandy Shocks' body, using his agility to stay one step ahead of its attacks. His strategy was working; the Paradox Pokémon's attention was thoroughly diverted. "Come on, Kora! You ready?" Issei called out, his voice ringing with confidence.

"Almost!" Kora responded, her aura flaring as she prepared her move. The tension was palpable as she gathered the energy needed for Collision Course. Issei could feel the weight of the moment; every second counted.

With a final shout, Issei made a daring move, running directly toward Sandy Shocks and feigning an attack to keep it engaged.

"Hey, Sandy Shocks! You think you can handle me?" he taunted, drawing a burst of electrical energy that exploded around him at the same time when Kora unleashed her Collision Course, a powerful burst of energy hurtling toward the distracted Pokémon. The attack struck Sandy Shocks with precision, disrupting its electrical absorption and causing it to stagger.

The impact was significant. Sandy Shocks recoiled, its grip on the Power Plant's energy faltering. Issei seized the opportunity, rushing forward to close the distance. "Now, Kora! Finish it off!"

Kora charged in, using her Fighting-type moves to exploit Sandy Shocks' weaknesses. The Paradox Pokémon, weakened and disoriented, struggled to defend itself against the relentless assault.

Within moments, Sandy Shocks was defeated, collapsing onto the Power Plant's roof with a low, defeated hum. The energy it had gathered began to dissipate, returning to the Plant and stabilizing the surrounding area.

Issei and Kora surveyed the scene, both relieved and victorious. "Nice work, Kora," Issei said, patting his Pokémon on the back. "We did it."

Kora nodded, her expression one of satisfaction. "I'm glad we could stop it before it caused more damage."

As they caught their breath, Issei couldn't shake the feeling that this battle was only a part of a larger puzzle. The presence of Sandy Shocks, the recent attacks on Miraidon, and the increasing number of Paradox Pokémon indicated a deeper conspiracy at work.

Issei turned to Kora. "We need to investigate further. There's more going on here, and I have a feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg."

Issei quickly assessed the situation. With Sandy Shocks weakened, he took out a Past Paradox Ball—a special Poké Ball designed to capture Paradox Pokémon from different eras specially designed by Team Rocket. He tossed it at Sandy Shocks, watching as it enveloped the Pokémon in a burst of energy. The ball wobbled, then clicked, signaling a successful capture.

"Got it," Issei said, securing the ball in his hand. "Let's head inside and see what's going on."

He and Kora moved cautiously toward the entrance of the Power Plant. Inside, the sight that greeted them was unexpected. A man was standing near a control panel, flanked by another Miraidon, and a Pokémon Issei didn't recognize. The Pokémon had a ghostly appearance, with a sleek, floating body and a mischievous glint in its eyes. It seemed to be a Flutter Mane, based on Kora's reaction.

Kora narrowed her eyes at the Flutter Mane. "That's a Flutter Mane. They're known for being quite bothersome. They enjoy pranking and scaring people, often using their ghostly abilities to create chaos."

Issei observed the scene. The man appeared nervous, his eyes darting between Miraidon, the Flutter Mane, and the approaching intruders. His unease was palpable. "Who are you? What do you want?" he demanded, his voice shaky.

Before Issei could respond, the man quickly pulled out a device from his pocket and activated it. A shimmering portal appeared behind him. Miraidon and Flutter Mane, clearly reacting to the threat, used their powers to try to create a barrier. Miraidon unleashed a surge of electricity while Flutter Mane used its ghostly abilities to obscure the area with a thick mist.

"Get me out of here!" the man shouted, stepping toward the portal. "Now!"

The portal seemed to stabilize, but the scene quickly devolved into chaos. The man and his Pokémon were making their escape when rubble and debris began to fall, blocking the entrance and preventing Issei and Kora from following them.

Kora growled in frustration. "They're getting away! We need to clear this rubble and follow them."

Issei nodded, his mind racing. "You handle the rubble. I'll see if I can get any information on their whereabouts from the Power Plant's systems."

As Kora used his strength and abilities to move the debris, Issei accessed the control panel, his fingers flying over the keys as he searched for any data on the recent activities or the escape.

Sadly, it wasn't easy for them since they erased the memory drive and destroyed the cameras as well, which was probably why they had Sandy Shocks outside to mess with the cameras and memory drive.

"Dammit. They covered their tracks, but who was that guy, and who made that portal?"

"I don't know, but he seemed really scared, almost as if he wasn't expecting anyone to show up."

"Makes sense since he seemed surprised by both of us and especially you. I guess that the portal was probably opened up from Paldea in Area Zero. Unfortunately, we don't have much proof since this is all a theory. Even with the information from the Dragon Guardians, we don't know if they're gathering information in Area Zero." Issei said since Paldea was a strange region, especially Area Zero since Issei heard from Colress about the professors there and their research on time travel, which made Issei think that it was time he paid a visit to Colress to see what he knew about time travel.

Issei then pulled out a phone and tapped a number on it that began to ring from Alola until it was picked up by the man he was calling.

{Ah, Hyoudou! How nice to hear from you. To what do I owe the pleasure of speaking to the Red Dragon Emperor?} Colress asked before Issei rolled his eyes.

"Cut the game, Colress. You know why I'm calling."

{Do I?}

"What do you know about Area Zero?"

{Ah! This is about the Paradox Pokémon, yes? Well, I can only tell you what I do know since someone was so rude to steal my teleportation technology. I swear, no one cares about asking nowadays.}

"Wait a minute! Someone stole your equipment, and you didn't even notice it? That's surprising since you were Ghetis's right-hand man."

{Well, I may have underestimated them, but from what I know about Area Zero is that Professor Turo and his wife own it. They've been obsessed with time travel like Lusamine was with the Ultra Beast Pokémon. They kept talking about how they wanted to try to bring Pokémon from the past and future to our time. Still, of course, I thought it would be amusing, so I helped a little with the experiments until we were shut down due to the experiment being unethical for humans and Pokémon.}

"But I'm guessing someone got the project back up and running. Huh?"

{And succeeded. If these Paradox Pokémon are coming from the past and future, then I suggest you head to Paldea after you deal with the Hoenn Elite Four since if someone is dealing with time travel, then I'm worried we have a serious problem on hand.}

"Good. Enjoy your prison on Alola."

{Hey, I have food, shelter, sunshine. It could be worse.}

"Yeah. You could've died if not for me vouching for you since Samuel Oak seemed to think you were a good person. See you, Colress." Issei said before hanging up with Kora came up to him and hugged his back, which made Issei sigh in relief before the duo headed back, hoping that it would be easy to deal with Steven and his Elite Four before they headed to Paldea to investigate Area Zero.

And scene!

Here, we get a bit more into Issei's situation and how he came to being isekaied into the Pokémon world. As for his relationships with the girls in DXD, I decided to make some interesting changes to Issei's relationship with them since Issei only has two girlfriends back home at the moment.

Issei's Girlfriends so far:

DXD: Asia and Irina.

Pokemon: Ursula, Cynthia, Candice, Zoey, Jupiter, Mars, Gardenia, Aurelius, Caitlin, Cheryl, Clair, Courtney, Elesa, Skyla, Aliana, Bryony, Mable, Celosia, Malva, Shauntal, Valerie, Klara, Marnie, Marley, and J.

Ash will have his harem as well since he has Duplica, Sabrina, Domino, one of Misty's Sisters, Melody, and eventually a few of the best girls that are paired with Ash. Hehe.

Ta-Ta for now!

Oh, and as for the status of the DXD world, the Khaos Brigade will not be making a move for a couple of months since they've lost a lot more members due to their lack of soldiers and generals after the failed invasion at the meeting.
