It was bright and early the next morning. The sun hadnt even rose yet, and Ash had already woken up, ready to join Hilda and Rosa at their meet up. Thanks to Lorelei's connections, Ash and his slaves were informed of an independent mechanic on the other side of town who would be willing to inspect the hovercycle Hilda was given via Dead-drop by Xavier. Checking his phone, Ash saw that his slaves were already on route to the address, with Ash, alongside Leaf, Clemont, Alain and Trevor all agreeing to join in on the task.
"Getting ready to go, honey?" Delia asked her son, the horny milf strutting into the kitchen to kiss her son on the neck as he stood at the kitchen counter, sipping on his morning coffee. "I may be your slave, but I'm still your mother, and I say this stuff still sounds very dangerous."
"It can't be avoided." Ash shook his head. "This guy is a strange one, but if I won intel off of him in our last match we bet on, chances are I can do it again."
"I understand, my love." Delia understood, yet felt obligated to worry all the same before remembering to tell Ash a special message Lillie and Serena entrusted to her. "Oh, and Serena, Bonnie, Lillie and I have something special planned for you later tonight. I'm sure you'll love it..!"
"Sounds great, doll! Speaking of Bonnie, let her know she has the keys to the spa club tonight, in case the girls need some time to blow some steam off." Ash advised her, only for Bonnie to come struting into the kitchen, her tight black yoga pants and sport bra showing her body off.
"And just when I thought I could beg you to fuck my brains out again..!" Bonnie chuckled, her hips swaying as she threw herself at Ash, the petite blonde letting her older brother grab her ass to bring her in for a kiss. "Last night was amazing, bro..! Who knew having mom watch us fuck would be such a turn on?!"
"Oh, Bonnie, you silly girl! Even before Ash made us his sex slaves, I knew you wanted him! A mother's intuition isnt wrong." Delia chuckled, doting on her children's intimate relationship. "Back then, I figured there was harm in letting you dream, but I can see this is so much better for you! You and your big bro make a great pair!"
"I really wanna fuck that amazing pussy all day long, sis, but big bro's got business to handle." Ash smiled, petting his shorter sister on the head, the petite blonde always elated by the affection he showered her with. "But you need to stay here. Clemont wouldn't like you getting involved with what I do. Besides, if he ever found out we were fucking, he'd be beyond pissed. So be a good girl and stay with mom."
"Yes Master!" Bonnie grinned, getting on her knees in submission, a cute little gesture which only made Ash even more glad he broke her.
Departing discreetly from his appartment, closing it gingerly so as to not stir any of the other students living adjacent. Quietly still moving down the steps and to the courtyard segregating the boy's complex from the girl's, Ash met Clemont in the square, waiting on a bench.
"You got it?" He asked vaguely, yet plainly.
"Yep. Just in case we need to convince this mechanic to work for us." Ash replied, tapping the pocket on his cargo pants before nodding to the suitcase containing the mind control headset stolen from Prospects in his hand. "The other gear as well, as per Rosa's request."
"Good. I think I might have a way for it to help us, too." He responded.
Clemont pulled his car keys out of his pocket, ushering Ash to the parking lot, where the rest of the group waited. Convening with Trevor, Alain and Leaf, Ash and co all looked around before beginning their chat.
"I know I kinda called you guys out on this on such short notice, but I figured since I brought you into this, I figured you might finally get to see what I've been doing behind the scenes for the last couple months." Ash informed Trevor and Alain.
"I've no problems with it. I kinda wanna see what kind of stuff I'm gonna be involved with, anyways." Alain nodded his head.
"I already am apart of all of this to begin with, and to be honest I wanted to check on on Hilda personally to see how she's been fairing." Leaf smiled at her Master, fiddling with her skirt as she did so.
Getting in the car, the group traveled to the address left to Ash by Lorelei. Pulling into a back alley street in the eastern edge West District, Ash and co noticed a pair of women standing in front of a closed garage door. Recognizing the women, Ash emerged from the passenger seat of Clemont's car.
"Lorelei! Korrina! Nice of you to join us!" Ash smiled, addressing his ever loyal servants.
"I see you brought some friends with you." Lorelei nodded to the others standing behind Ash. "I take it they know of our…arrangement..?"
"Yes, they do." Ash confirmed, turning to his compatriots. "Guys, this is Lorelei and Korrina. Former teacher and student respectively of Lumiose Academy. They are my slaves as well. Lorelei, in fact, was the one who recommended this auto shop for us to examine that Hover cycle Hilda will be bringing in."
"Good to meet you ma'am." Alain nodded professionally.
"Damn, Ash! You bagged yourself some baddies here!? Trevor grinned devilishly, sizing up the two women.
"Let's get to business." Ash reminded Trevor. "Hilda, Rosa, and Calem are on route. They'll be traveling here in a blue and black moving van. It was the only way to discreetly transport that hover cycle, what with it being an illegal vehicle. Alain, you and Leaf will stand on guard right here by the front door to the shop."
"Got it." Alain and Leaf nodded, taking positions on either side of the door.
"Trevor, you and Korrina take the service ladders up onto the building roofs making up this alley. You see any shady looking vehicles following our friends, you let us know, and I'll make sure they know they don't bring 'em here." Ash instructed them.
"Yes, Master!" Korrina obeyed immediately, rushing for the closest ladder leading to the rooftops.
"I got a nice zoom lens on my camera. The high ground is perfect for me." Trevor agreed, getting over to his post.
"Lorelei, you and Clemont are with me. Let's see just how amazing this mechanic really is." Ash ordered his servant.
"Yes, my Master! I can't wait to see what you'll think of her. She's quite a looker." Lorelei winked, always happy to obliged her Master's commands.
Entering the shop, Ash, Clemont and Lorelei noticed someone dressed in an orange jumpsuit with their back turned to them. As the group approached, the person turned around, a welding helmet covering the face.
"Orla! How's it going, girl?!" Lorelei waved to the mechanic.
Flipping up the helmet, a young woman's face was revealed underneath it, the woman's eyes lighting up with delight.
"Lorelei! Sup girl?!" The woman asked back, unzipping the top half of her jumpsuit, tying the sleeves around her waist, exposing her D cup chest, a measly t shirt underneath her jumpsuit the only thing keeping her gorgeous melons away from Ash. "Who are these two? Students from your old workplace?"
"Hit the nail on the head, gorgeous!" Lorelei gave her the thumbs up before turning to the two teens. "Orla and I go way back. She knows all about my 'services' to my vip guests. That reminds me. Orla, meet Ash: my most fav vip guest in the Scarlet Caberet. And this is his brother, Clemont. He's an inventor, kinda like you."
"Nice to meet you two." Orla smiled, extending her hand to shake. "Lorelei filled me in on a lot regarding you especially, Ash! Not too often does this icy gal get heated up over men. You should be proud!"
"And that, I am." Ash smiled, realizing Lorelei clued her in on more than he thought. "I take it you know of our little 'arrangement'?"
"Of course, Lorelei said the sex you two had was the best she had in her life!" Orla teased her colleague. "Don'tworry, you're secret is safe with me. Heck, Lorelei has even let me have a quick fuck with her girlfriend, as well."
"How...open of you to share that information..." Clemont sheepishly spoke up, the typically introverted blonde having little else to say beyond.
"I'd really love to get to know you more, Orla, but time is of the essense, and Lorelei knows I need absolute compliance in my plans, so I'll just cut to the chase and play with your body later." Ash spoke up, brandishing the hypnosis pen in his pocket.
"Huh?" Orla asked, the craftswoman completly with her guard down as he beamed her in the eye with the pen's laser, the hot mechanic now enraptured by his device.
"God she looks so hot when she's in a trance..!" Lorelei hummed, groping the stunned woman's tit with one hand and rubbing her soft lips with the other. "Looks like my part of the job is done, Master. As soon as your friends arrive, Korrina and I need to return back to the shop."
"Sounds good, doll." Ash grinned before beginning to instruct his newest slave's commands.
Switching off the device, Orla came to, her mind now wired to obey Ash and Ash alone.
"Hello, my sexy Master! What do you want me to work on..?" Orla smiled seductively, her mind adjusted to the commands now seared into her mind.
"I've got some friends coming soon who are bringing in an illegal vehicle for a street race. I want you to not only examine ot for sabotage, but to find a way to enhance it prior to the race tomorrow." Ash demanded. "You will do it, right?"
"Oh, how silly you even need to ask me, Master!" Orla jumped in giddy excitment. "I'll make any sort of vehicle you want to your design."
Just then, Ash's cell phone rang, the caller id coming from Trevor.
"Hey, man. I think we have your group coming in. No signs of tailers, either."
"Good. Just keep an eye on the street. Once we get the moving truck moved in, you're good to come down." Ash instructed.
"Got it." Trevor replied, hanging up.
"You've gotten the hang of this whole leader thing quick." Clemont smiled, impressed by Ash.
Opening the garage, Ash noticed the truck matching the description Hilda gave pulling in to the alley, Calem behind the wheel. Quickly getting it inside, Ash quickly ushered in his lookouts after their confirmed they weren't followed, closing the garage behind them. Getting out of the driver's seat, Calem glared at Ash and Leaf.
"Oh great, you again. Hilda, just what is it with these part timers?" He growled, throwing his hands up.
"Barely a foot in the door, and you're already complaining?! Dude, just shut up! We've never had this much support until Ash came along." Hilda snapped back, the brunette and her sister opening the back of the truck to pull out the hovercycle.
"That's right. We wouldnt have Lusamine Aether's company's support, as well as miss Lorelei's if it wasnt for him!" Rosa agreed.
Looking at Ash, Calem approached, only for Alain to get in the way.
"Alain?" Ash asked, confused by the gesture Alain was making.
"Look, buddy. I dont know you from a hole in the wall, but you got an awful poor way of showing gratitude for us helping your sorry ass out." The teen spoke up.
"Hmph-! I don't remember asking for help from a bunch of privileged Lumiose Academy assholes." Calem scoffed, turning to Leaf. "That goes for you too, part timer."
"Ah, there's that classic Calem charm I know and don't love." Leaf sighed, hardly even willing to bother indulging the man.
"Calem, Hilda told me what happened to you with that Xavier guy. I know you're frustrated, but I don't get what your deal is woth me." Ash spoke up, signalling Alain to step aside.
Calem studied Ash with judgmental sternness, his furrowed brow and dead tired eyes all Ash needed to know. The young man abhored him, for whatever reason.
"I don't get it. What is so special about this guy, Hilda? You rob his mom's bakery, you cut him a deal, now all of the sudden, you're kissing the ground he walks on!" Calem spoke, his contempt completely apparent. "I don't know what kind of sway you have on all these people, Ash, but one thing is certain. Hilda never sang such high praises over another guy. You two and her sis go off to some secret cruise ship, now all of the sudden, she's involving you in everything. And then I hear from her that you have all these crazy connections, like with that Lusamine chick running for Lumiose Governor and those two women behind you. I was this close to convincing our ground we need to be more decisive, then oh so conveniently, we recieve aid from a powerful benefactor with no clear agenda or motive. This reeks."
"You're overthinking things, Calem. It aint that serious." Hilda replied, though the brunette had to play dumb, the teen realizing that Calem had begun to suspect Ash.
"As if that's good enough for me, seeing how its coming from your mouth." Calem turned to speak to her before turning back to Ash. "What could you possibly gain from helping us out? Why stick your neck out on the line when you could have easily just stick to your little gated academy and enjoyed the easy life?"
Calem had a point. Ash wasnt doing this entirely from an altruistic stance anymore. He wanted Prospects out pf the way in order to rule over Lumiose himself. Finding the best form of explanation he could, Ash spoke up.
"You supect me to be living some luxurious life, but it was never like that. My mom struggled to keep our family's accounts in check for so long. My brother, sister and I shared a single bedroom in our home before I moved to the academy." Ash said, turning to Clemont, who nodded his head in agreement. "Im not a genius like my brother is. He got a scholarship. The only way I could make it into the academy was through a paid entry fee, which costed a tremendous ammount. My mom wanted so bad for me to go there, that she stooped to taking out a loan from Prospects."
Upon hearing this, Calem remained quiet, his stern face remained as Ash continued.
"When Hilda robbed my mom's store, I was at the front door, making sure their collectors didnt harass her. I wanted to join up with you to fight a common enemy, at first. But the more I learned of Prospects, and whatever their endgame is, it terrifies me that they have so much control. I joined in ln your raid on their truck to get the money needed to pay off the loan." Ash continued, his fist closing in anger. "But even that wasnt good enogh for them. They ended up burning my mom's business to the ground. They need to pay for that, and they need to be stopped before they do anything else to harm other innocents."
"Well, I suppose that's a good enough motive." Calem condescendingly chuckled. "Doesnt explain the other shit, though. The way i see things is this: strength dictates all. Its how Prospects has kept so many people down on their knees, and its how I came to realize Hilda's strength was worth following...until you came along. Now, she seems soft. Perhaps she believes you have enough strength to support her."
Confused by the conclusion the young man was drawing, though thankful the young man didnt figure out his secret, Ash induldged his theory.
"And what exaclty is your solution to this problem you seem to have with that?" Ash asked.
Holding a pokeball, Calem called out his shiny Greninja, its sleek black body dark as the night sky.
"We battle. Here and now." He demanded.
"Not in here, you aint." Orla spoke up. "You wanna battle, do it in the alley way. I gotta inspect this beautiful hoverbike."
"Understood. Frogadier and I were hoping we could fight you anyways." Ash grinned.
"Just one thing, Ash. You have it, right?" Rosa asked, vaguely gesturing the the mind control headset. "Leave it with me. I found something in the schematics that will be very useful.
"Sure thing." Ash replied.
After stepping outside, with Alain and Trevor watching, Ash left the hypnosis headset inside with Clemont, Rosa, Hilda and Orla, per Rosa's request, leaving Ash to duel with Calem, his Bubble Frog Pokémon now withdrawn from its ball.
"It will hardly be satisfying beating you down without Hilda being here to witness it." Calem shrugged. "But either way, this has been a long time coming."
"Talk as much shit as you want when you actually beat me. Not like you will." Ash grinned.
"Begin" Alain shouted, the young man serving as battle proctor.
"Water Pulse!" Ash ordered Forgadier, the water type forming an orb of water, lobbing it at Greninja.
"Water Shuriken." Calem ordered, Greninja pulling water from the markings on its legs, throwing them.
As the Water Shuriken collided with the Water Pulse, the moves exploded into a rainy dew. Drenching the concrete beneath them.
"Get in close with Cut!" Ash commanded, Forgadier charging in with a blade of white energy.
"Shadow Sneak." His opponent ordered, Greninja's shadow suddenly stretching out beyond where it was.
Suddenly, Greninja's shadow lept off the ground, hitting Frogadier in the shoulder, causing Forgadier to wince in pain. Pressing on, the Bubble Frog jumped into the air, aiming to bring his blade crashing down on Greninja. Just as the attack seemed to collide, it phased right through him. Confused, Frogadier backflipped away, cautiously putting distance between him and hos opponent.
"My move didnt connect. It was like Greninja was immune!" Ash gasped.
"My Greninja is a very unique specimen. His ability is called Protean." Calem leered mockingly at Ash. "Whatever type of move Greninja uses, his type changes to match it."
"If he's a ghost type then..."Ash pondered. "Use Water Pulse!"
"Water Shuriken." Calem ordered, his Greninja returning to a Water type.
The moves once again collided, exploding into mist.
"Grass Knot!" Calem ordered, his Pokémon forming a whip out of a long grass blade.
Cracking his whip, Greninja swung his attack, wrapping it around Frogadier's leg. Pulling the Bubble Frog in, Greninja readied his leg for impact.
"Close Combat." Calem ordered, his Greninja turning into a Fighting type as Forgadier helplessly continued getting pulled in.
"Now Frogadier!" Acrobatics!" Ash ordered.
"His eyes focused, Forgadier let forth a surge of wind, his body emitting a faint, glowing white aura, the force of the air generated snapping the Grass Knot.
"What?!" Calem gasped. "Greninja, keep your distance!"
As Frogadier used his enhanced agility from his move, the Bubble Frog bounced along the walls in the alleyway. Darting in, Frogadier got some light jabs in here and there, Greninja barely able to react.
"How's that?!" Ash gloated.
"Use Smokescreen!" Calem ordered.
"What?!" Ash gasped. "It knows more than four moves?! How is that even possible?!"
Spewing black fumes from its mouth, Greninja obscured Forgadier's vision, the Water Type choking on the smoke as Greninja effortlessly blended in, its black skin the perfect camouflage. Suddenly, Greninja was right on top of Frogadier, the Pokémon not having enough time to react. A deluge of punches assailed Frogadier, his opponent feeling not regard for his wellbeing. To it, this was no mere sparring match, this was a blood feud.
Frogadier collapsed on the concrete, his body aching from the devastating force of Greninja's assault.
"Do it again." Calem commanded, taking note of his opponent on the ground.
"Here he comes Frogadier! Get ready!" Ash shouted, his Pokémon tuning to his voice.
Suddenly, that mysterious feeling Ash had experienced woth Frogadier before once again returned, stronger than ever. Just like before, he felt like Frogadier could see through his eyes, and vice verse.
"I get it, Frogadier. If you cant see with all that smoke in your face, then I'll be your eyes instead!" Ash nodded, understanding Frogadier's feelings.
"What are you babbling about?" Calem asked. "Greninja, finish him already!"
Outflanking Frogadier without so much as a peep, Greninja took his opponent by his rear flank, another Close Combat primed and ready to crush his enemy. Just as he threw his first punch though, Greninja was shocked to see Frogadier dodge his move without so much as turning his head. Confused yet undeterred, Greninja recommenced his attack, his frustration matching only his trainer's as Frogadier continued to duck, lean and flip away from every single attempted strike.
"How?! HOW?!? Calem screamed, his perplexed beyond belief. "You're blinded by smoke and Greninja is as silent as stone!"
"With me, Frogadier." Ash softly spoke, his emotions syncing with his partner.
In the moment, their minds felt connected. In his mind, Ash pictured a droplet of water splashing upon a undisturbed pool of water, the rippling waves clearing to reveal...something. As if a 6th sense had just awoke in them, Ash and Frogadier, examined each other's bodies through each other's eyes, their movements completely in sync.
"Acrobatics!" Ash commanded, his Pokémon dispelling the smoke with a gust of wind generated from his body.
"Shadow Sneak!" Calem ordered, his Pokémon changing into Ghost once more, his shadow striking Frogadier before he could move.
But such a delay was futile, for Frogadier rebounded off the walls again, and again and again, like a living pinball. Putting himself into a flying kick position, Frogadier landing a clean blow in Greninja's stomach, sending the Pokémon flying back. Strugging to get back up, Calem looked down at his Pokémon in scorn.
"The hell was that?! How are we supposed to prove our strength if that knocks you out?! Get up! I know you arent done yet."
As Greninja rose once more, shaking its head to recollect its thoughts, it raised its webbed fists once again, ready for battle.
"We're just getting started, arent we, Frogadier?" Ash grinned at his Pokémon, Frogadier nodding at him before suddenly glowing white.
"He's evolving now?!" Calem growled.
As soon as the white light died down, its metamorphosis ended, where once stood Frogadier now was a proud Greninja, its dark blue skin contrasting Calem's own Greninja.
"Its a Dark Type now, Greninja! Use Close Combat and end this already!" The irate teen ordered, his pokemon diving in.
"We're gonna keep getting stronger!" Ash shouted out, his Pokémon mimicking his movements yet still. "Let's go, Greninja!"
"Greninja!!" His Pokémon cried out, his body suddenly shrouded in in a vortex of water, catching everyone off guard.
Despite how the vortex of water turned into a spiraling sphere, Ash could swear Greninja looked a little different underneath the body of water surrounding him.
"You..."Calem gasped in shock, which soon turned to anger. "WHAT'S WITH YOU?! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?! Greninja! End! This! NOW!!"
"Show him what we're made of, Greninja!" Ash commanded.
Obeying his Master, Greninja took some water from the sphere that surrounded him, forming it into a pair of Water Shuriken, lobbing them through the sphere and into the shiny Greninja, who's Fighting type didnt allow him to resist the move, knocking it out.
"No...this cant be..." Calem mouth, falling to his knees in defeat as his Greninja lay crumpled beneath him.
As Ash turned to face his Greninja, the sphere of water surrounding it vanished, with Greninja seeming to have returned to normal.
"What...was that just now..?" Ash gasped absentmindedly.
"No kidding..." Alain gasped. "That was some crazy clutch evolution, though. Congrats, Ash. You got yourself a sick fully evolved Pokémon for the school tournament soon."
"So, Calem. What was all that about you wanting Hilda being here to watch me lose?" Ash smiled smugly.
"..."
"Calem?"
"...Shut up..." Calem groaned, recalling his Greninja before walking off out of the alleyway, only stopping for a moment. "You got lucky. I'll win when you don't have some bullshit to bail you out. Remember that."
"Yeah, yeah pal." Trevor arrogantly smiled. "Buh bye!"
"Is he gonna be a problem going forward?" Alain asked.
"I got no clue. I barely know the guy myself." Ash shrugged. "Lets just go see how things are going on inside."
Reentering the auto shop, Clemont as Rosa clamored around Ash in sheer excitement.
"Ash! You wont beleive this!" Clemont gasped. "Rosa here, genius programmer she is, found a way for Hilda to learn how to ride the hovercycle!
"What? How?!" Ash asked.
"You know that mind control headset we stole from Prospects? Well, I discovered in the schematics you let me keep that there is a function on fhe device that allows skills and lessons to be directly programmed into the brain instantly." Rosa explained. "I found some footage online of the hover cycle and compiled it into a disc to program the lesson into the headset. Sis is over in the corner being hypnotised into learning how to drive it as we speak!"
"Wait, so youre telling me that we could not only brainwash people with this thing, but we can teach them life skills instantly with it, as well?" Ash asked.
"Martial arts training, agricultural techiniques, learning how to sow. It literally can be taight so long as a program is designed and compatible with the headset." Rosa affirmed.
"Just what exactly were Prospects doing with that kind of tech?!" Ash pondered. "Does this have anything to do with all those people Hilda and I saw caged up when we freed Silvally?"
"Its a strong possibility." Rosa admitted.
Removing the headset from her face, Hilda smiled confidently, the lessons she needed on how to ride the bizarre motorcycle now beamed directly into her mind.
"Im ready to race, Master!" Hilda pumped her fist. "Wait, where's Calem..?"
"Stormed off after I beat his ass." Ash chuckled.
"I knew you could do it, babe!" Hilda smiled with a wink
"Great news, gang! The bike was never sabotaged! Its road ready and ready for action tomorrow!" Orla smiled as the engaged with the group,"
"No sabotage, huh? I figured that weirdo would have done something to that crazy thing." Rosa hummed.
"Its already an illegal vehicle in Kalos. Im willing to bet our race might just hinge on the police chasing after us." Hilda surmised.
"That would drive the stakes up quite a bit." Ash hummed. "I trust you though, Hilda. Kick that creep's ass for me and bring us some juicy intel!"
"Yes, my Master!" Hilda smiled obediently.
"Well, that concludes that, then." Ash clapped his hands together before a text on his phone came in. "Looks like mom is wanting me to meet up at Lusamine's."
Realizing this must be that surprise she mentioned she had waiting, Ash felt compelled to go.
"Can you drop me off before you and the others head back to campus, bro?" Ash asked Clemont.
"Sure." He replied.
"See you girls later." Ash smiled before turning to Orla. "And Orla? Lorelei has my contact info. If you ever want me to use your nice bod, give me a call."
"Yes, my Master!" Orla obeyed, waving playfully to the group of boys as they departed.
As Ash and Co drove away, Calem lurked just behind the corner, watching as the group departed.
"What makes you so special, I wonder..?" Calem pondered as a car pulled over to meet him.
"Hey Calem, sorry it took us so long." One of Calem's closest confidants said from the window as Calem reached for the door handle.
"No small talk. Follow that car, and keep it discreet. I wanna know what they're up to." He ordered his minion.
