Chapter 11: The Origins of Gigantamax/Dynamax?

Our now larger group was heading somewhere new, though with all the commotion, they had to detour now since Serena promised Gary she would return the favor he had done by taking her with the Super Potion.

"I can't believe you want to hurt us like this, Gary, you're mean," Chloe commented angrily, pouting, but Ash gave her a small slap, making her scratch her head trying to relieve the pain.

"Don't say that, a promise is a promise. Besides, it doesn't matter if I get all the badges, I don't think I'll be able to make it to the Pokémon League."

He said, making everyone stop in their tracks and turn to look at him, as if he had suddenly grown a second head, so he sweated when he saw them approaching and starting to touch his forehead.

"He doesn't have a fever, so he's not sick."

"Onii-chan, are you hallucinating?" Tell me, how many fingers do you see?

Ashy, didn't you hit your head when the Flash Bombs exploded?

Are you sure, Ash? I see it differently_

Serena, Chloe, Yellow, and Misty were the ones inspecting him in case he wasn't experiencing some kind of delusion, but he politely pushed them away and took a few steps back as he took out a Pokeball.

I don't have anything, I just don't feel ready to fight other experienced trainers_

He explained, leading Robert to approach him and pat him on the right shoulder.

If that's the case, don't worry. No one here has much experience, but we still want to try, since you'll never know your true potential if you don't put it to the test._

The blue-haired man encouraged him, but the dark-haired man sighed and took a deep breath before speaking again.

Not only that, I haven't even caught a single Pokémon on my own, I haven't had any legal battles against other trainers, and the only two badges I have were given away out of pity._

He was about to continue speaking until he was interrupted by his sister, who slapped him lightly, causing him to open his eyes and place her hand on his slightly red cheek.

"STOP IT! You always do this. Stop putting yourself down. You saved three Pokemon Centers. Four Pokémon are grateful that you decided to care about them. You've hurt yourself countless times because you care more about the well-being of others than your own, and you still think you're not good enough." Please, it's time you start believing you're good because we do_

The purple-eyed girl finished, tears threatening to spill out. The boy's vision was covered by his cap, and he was tightly gripping the new Pokeball. However, he calmed down when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to look at his rival, Gary, who was smiling, but for the first time, it wasn't arrogant, but understanding.

Hey, calm down. You don't have to worry. After all, there will be people stronger than me in the Pokémon League. But from everything I've heard, it seems like you've done a lot, so you've probably gained experience. How about we have a battle?_

She asked, making Ash smile, showing his fangs and nodding as he turned his cap around. The others smiled, knowing that the best way to show off his potential was to have a battle with someone of his own caliber. So they moved away and formed a circle to better appreciate the battle.

Okay, you know the rules. One Pokémon per turn, the one who wins loses. faints, can't move, or doesn't have the energy for an attack. HAJIME_

Robert was the intermediary, so he moved away from the Battlefield, and Gary was the first to throw his Pokeball.

UMBREON I CHOOSE YOU_

After talking about the ball, one of the possible Eevee evolutions that was very common in Kanto came out. Thanks to Oak training it at night, his partner evolved, acquiring the Dark Type.

Perfect, HOMURA I CHOOSE YOU_

Ninetails came out of Ash's Pokeball, looking happy because it wanted to show off its strength and could help the green-eyed Pokémon.

A Fire Type, huh? It's a strange decision, but if you feel it's right, I won't say anything._

The Professor's grandson commented, causing Ash to start moving his head slightly and smiling.

The truth is, I was thinking about asking him to battle in the Water Gym. You know, it's when we're out of our comfort zone that we gain the most experience.

At that moment, Gary was the first to tell his Pokémon to use one of its moves.

UMBREON USE VIL SPIN_

The Dark-Type began to curl into a black ball and jump as if someone were playing basketball with it. The closer it got, the faster it moved, so Ash quickly told his Pokémon what attack to use.

HOMURA USE TRAP SHELL_

The golden fox smiled and placed its four paws and dug its claws into the ground while using its tails as a shield. In a matter of seconds, the Eeveelution collided with it, causing part of the flames to engulf it and burn it slightly. It returned to its trainer's side, who had a drop of cold sweat running down his forehead.

That was a good counterattack, Umbreon. Are you okay?_

The boy questioned, looking at his Pokémon, who smiled sideways and nodded, although his legs were trembling slightly, so he assumed he should be cautious. He quickly thought of a way to counter Ninetails. He smiled and ordered his Pokémon again.

UMBREON USE HEADBUM_

The Dark-Type's forehead turned into a diamond, and he began to run toward the fox who was waiting for its turn to move.

Homura, dodge it and give it a Tail Attack_

The Fire-Type jumped to stand to the side and was about to use its tails as whips, but Gary spoke again, and Ash opened his eyes when he saw what had been faster than him.

UMBREON PREPARE TO CRUSH FOR ITS NECK AND WHEN YOU HAVE IT, UNLEASH A UMBREON PULSE_

Before Ash could say anything, the fox's scream was heard. They had bitten her neck, and since she couldn't move away, she was hit by a black aura that exploded, throwing her towards Ash. She fell, battered and shaking, with a black mark on her neck from the Dark-Type's fangs.

HOMURA, ARE YOU OKAY?_

He tried to approach her, but she growled at him and stood up with her eyes half-closed and her paws slightly bent. But she wasn't going to give up without showing her bravery. Ash smiled, and a fire ignited in his eyes. His friends were happy because that was what they wanted to see.

HOMURA, GET READY, RUN WITH GAS CHARGE_

The fox smiled, and her body was engulfed in flames, so she began to try to hit the Dark-Type, who was moving even faster than her body could allow, leaving furrows and skid marks on the ground. Gary decided to order her to use another move.

UMBREON HOLD ON WITH FULL SPEED, DON'T LET IT REACH YOU_

The little one began to move faster, trying not to be hit by the fox, but even with his willpower, he looked tired. Although both received the same damage, the next move decided who would win.

But as if it were a twist of fate, the Dark Type slipped on a stone brought by the wind of their fight, so he fell to the ground. The fox stopped running, watching him from afar, waiting for him to get up.

HOMURA HELLSPEAR_

Before Umbreon could try to dodge it, the ground beneath him exploded into flames that engulfed him and threw him into the sky, causing him to fall covered in burns. However, he still got up and prepared for anything.

Everything seemed to continue until some black spikes dug into Ninetails' body and pushed her out of the Battlefield. Umbreon sighed and dropped to the ground so Robert could end the battle

Homura can't continue. The winner is Umbreon and Gary.

He finished, so Ash could approach the Fire-Type and give her a Super Potion to help her recover.

You did very well, Homura.

He congratulated her, storing it in his Pokeball, and she licked his face, causing it to disappear in a beam of light. Homura adjusted his cap and his opponent approached after healing his Dark-Type.

If it weren't for Umbreon deciding to use Machine Gun Slash, you would surely have won. Don't think you're useless because you lose sometimes, otherwise even my grandfather would have given up in the past.

He explained, so Ash nodded and smiled, only to fall when he felt Chloe and Lurantis pull him. They decided to hug him, but didn't measure the speed with which they ran toward him.

While the others approached and rejoiced to see Ash regain his fighting spirit.

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X

They walked a few kilometers and came across a very comforting beach, so they decided to rest briefly before continuing with the mission they had given Gary. They let their Pokémon out, and they were amazed by the water, the sand, and the sun above all.

"Welcome to the Beach," Ash stated, making his companions turn to look at him after seeming hypnotized by the movement of the waves.

"This place is called a beach. It's where the coast meets the sea, an expanse of salt water that is even larger than Kanto."

He explained so that they would be impressed, since they hadn't imagined something so immense.

"Who wants to go in?"

He asked as he took off his vest, hat, gloves, boots, and socks to enter the water.

The girls, on the other hand, only took off their sneakers since there was no place nearby to change into swimsuits. For the moment, they were grateful, since they hadn't yet mentally prepared. to see Chloe in a bikini, so they also went into the lower part.

They all decided to play in the water, get each other wet, and let themselves go like the teenagers they are, since they were just trying to relax and not think about anything but having fun.

Oh right, I forgot, come out._

Serena took out two Pokeballs and let out her companions: Squirtle and the fish, who jumped into the sea very happy, but Ash screamed when he saw it and approached to corroborate his hypothesis.

I can't believe it, it's a Feebas, and it's Shiny. I never thought I'd see one so close. It's impressive_

The boy praised him for ending up soaked since Lurantis threw water at him because she thought he was flirting with the Water-Type, who was embarrassed by someone saying all those things to her.

For her part, Gardevoir could only imagine the boy complimenting her romantically, but she shook her head. After talking to Blisey, she decided to finally tell the boy about her feelings so she wouldn't have to bear that weight on her shoulders and overthink what might happen when she does.

Is it really that hard to catch one?_

The brunette girl questioned as Brock approached after putting on his floats since he wasn't very fond of walking but still wanted to be part of the fun.

"That's right, you see, she's endemic to the Hoenn region, and since two-thirds of its territory is water, you can get discouraged when you discover that you can only catch her with the super rod in six random places throughout the entire place."

He explained, making the girl gulp and turn pale when she tried to think of doing something like that to get her.

After that, they continued having fun for a while until the sun began to set, so they decided to dry off and continue on their way because their destination wasn't far away.

In fact, they climbed the mountain path to find the lighthouse that ships used to avoid crashing into the rocks in the bay or getting stranded by the mounds of sand created by the waves.

They approached to see the door engraved with

Water-type Pokémon in this one, so they approached and rang the doorbell, only to be greeted by the welcome bells. They jumped in surprise, not expecting the commotion as the microphone on the other end became active.

Hello, is anyone there?_

A young voice, almost the same age as the boys, was heard, which surprised them, except for Gary, who approached and rang the intercom.

Hi, my grandfather Professor Oak sent me to give you a USB drive. Could you let us in?_

The voice made a noise as if remembering something and let them in, so they could be surprised by so much technology inside and rooms, as well as screens and acrylic boards with mathematical formulas on them.

Impressive_

Ash commented, approaching one of them and analyzing the equations, trying to decipher them mentally.

I see you're cultured_

A voice responded, and he was about to answer until he realized it was a giant Kabuto that was at least the same height as him.

AHHHHH_

The girls were the first to scream and react violently, launching their Pokémon to attack.

BULBASAUR USE WHIP GRAPE/SQUIRTLE THROWS WATER GUN_

Chloe and Serena were the first to attack, but Ash was faster and got in the middle of the attacks and the supposed Ground-Type.

Wait, girls, it's a fun..._

He couldn't finish because both moves hit him, soaking him completely and hitting him in the face with the Grass-Type's appendages.

Oh, thank you very much for not letting me get wet. I wouldn't want to ruin my suit._

The "Pokémon" answered again so the others realized it was the voice of a boy and he was inside an animatronic suit, since his voice was She listened a little digitally.

Nice to meet you all. My name is Bill. I'm a Pokémon researcher.

Grabbing Kabuto's head, he removed it, revealing a boy their age with blond hair and blue eyes. He then stepped out of the suit and set him aside.

Likewise, I'm Ash Ketchum, Pokémon trainer. This is my sister, Chloe, and my friends, Yellow, Serena, Leaf, Robert, Misty, and Brock.

He explained, to everyone's greetings as he took off his suit and placed it inside a display case that lit up when the doors opened.

"Thank you so much for coming. The truth is, it's been a long time since my Chef went on vacation. Since he ran out of food he made me, I've done nothing but eat tofu."

He complained, making Brock's eyes light up even though they couldn't see each other, and he approached the boy to place his hands on his shoulders while smiling.

"Don't worry, I'll make you all the food you want while I stay here. I'm a good cook."

Then he grabbed his backpack and ran to the kitchen after asking for directions, but a Porygon-shaped robot approached him and began to carry him.

"Ah, I want to take a bath and go to bed. My hair still feels like sand."

The blue-haired boy's companion commented, making the other girls nod while another Pokebot, like the He baptized Yellow and began to guide them toward the bathroom and where they could sleep.

After only Ash, Robert, Gary, Bill, and the protagonist's Pokémon remained, they chatted until the question of why the brunette was sent there came up again. They decided to call their grandfather on the phone. When they entered his number, the screen lit up, showing the man cooking meat on a grill. He had a happy face because it was almost time for his dinner.

"Oh, hey guys. I see you met at a good time, and from what I gather, you're at Bill's Lighthouse. It's good that you went there. He's a very promising Pokémon researcher. I'm sure if he keeps going the way he's been, he'll be able to surpass me as a scientist."

The man chose the blonde so that he would blush and try to downplay his qualities, but Robert and Ash were impressed since the boy was their age. Gary, for his part, just frowned but shook his head slightly, dismissing their worries.

"By the way, Grandpa, what's the point?" Did you want me to come all the way here?_

Gary questioned, making the Professor smile and step aside, showing a fish tank containing a Krabby Patty. This one was bigger than the average, so the kids were fascinated, except for the brown-haired one.

When you caught this Krabby Patty, I wasn't just excited because it was your 80th catch, but also because I was intrigued by how big it was, so I did all kinds of studies to find out the origin of its excessive growth._

He explained so that Ash and Robert could imagine all kinds of results from his studies, so they asked him what he discovered.

Nada_

I answer, and since they didn't expect that result, they fell backward to the ground, much to Bill and Gary's amusement.

But that didn't stop me.

They got up when they heard him change his perspective.

I decided to create a machine capable of mapping or analyzing subatomic particles, and I was finally able to find the cause of his growth. Some synthetic energy is causing him to grow that way, and if my grandson hadn't caught him, he would surely have grown even more.

That made the five imagine the crab as a giant monster crushing cities with its dominant claw.

And how did he get that energy, and why should he give the USB to Bill?

The brown-haired man finally asked the question, so his grandfather smiled and cleared his throat.

I asked Bill to send one of his Pokebots to follow the trail of synthetic energy to find out what had happened, since Gary captured him on the beach near the lighthouse.

That made Ash and Robert open their eyes and turn to look at the boy who brought them here, annoyed by what seemed strange to them. expressions

What's going on?_

He asked, scratching his ear with his finger so he wouldn't expect to be shaken by the protagonist, who seemed annoyed.

Are you stupid, you took us to that beach and couldn't tell us it was contaminated and that our Pokémon could be infected by anything found there?_

Robert was the one complaining, afraid something might happen to his team, since he cared a lot about them and didn't want anything to happen to them.

For their part, Bill and Oak could only watch because they agreed with both boys.

Uh, well, I forgot._

Was all he could say to get the black-haired man to let him go.

Calm down, Ash. We already discovered that as long as there's no catalyst, the energy won't affect the Pokémon's cells. Also, the number of particles on the beach isn't enough to have the same result as Gary's Krabby Patty. Speaking of which, I ran the corresponding tests again and was surprised to realize the number of particles he had. decreased, as well as their height and weight_

He explained, showing both results on the screen so everyone could reflect on what he said.

I hope you can complete the investigation. I'm leaving. It's dinner time, and your mother must have made something delicious at her restaurant._

He explained, putting on a beret and hanging up the call so the boys could look at each other with a drop of sweat on their heads.

Well, I'd better continue with the task using the information you brought me, and tomorrow morning I'll explain everything related to this project to you more calmly._

The three guests nodded, so Gary decided to take a room and finally go to sleep after all they'd been walking for so many hours.

For his part, Robert took Ash to a training room for some reason after asking Billy where they could have a friendly battle. They went up to one of the upper floors and entered a completely white room with white squares all over the wall. They got serious when they saw what looked like a Pokebot levitating in the middle. from the place so they approached him

Is this a holographic room?_

Ash asked, making the android light up its eyes.

That's right, it's version 3.5. It's received 7 updates since it was created, and Bill wants it to rival reality itself, although it has restrictions since it could affect the perception of humans and Pokémon._

He explained, for both of their surprise, since having so many modifications means it had managed to get closer to reality.

Hmm, let's see, I know, it reproduces the forest behind Pallet Town._

The Pokebot began downloading the necessary information and then scanned both boys. In a flash, the entire place changed into a green landscape full of trees, bushes, fresh air, and the comforting morning sun.

Impressive, it's like being home again, but why did you ask it to create this illusion?_

Ash questioned the blue-haired man, causing him to turn around and look at him, surprised to find he had a Pokeball in his hand, as if he were ready to fight for it. Ash smiled, as it had been a while since he had a friendly battle with someone of Robert's caliber.

To wrap things up, I'd like you to answer a question for me_

The once sickly boy asked the green-eyed boy to nod as he took out his own Pokeball.

KEIKO, I CHOOSE YOU_

Ketchum took the sphere and threw it so that the Lopunny of his team emerged. She barely heard her trainer's voice and stretched to be ready for her fight. Furthermore, as she fully materialized, she turned around to see Ash and blew him a kiss while winking at him. Ash turned away, blushing as he couldn't get used to the rabbit's flirting. He was grateful that his friend didn't notice, since he was analyzing her with his Pokédex because he hadn't seen her species so close.

Incredible, a Lopunny! The fact that you'll find her outside of Sinnoh is something fascinating._

After scanning her, he took out his own Pokeball and without waiting for further preambles, he threw it as the light came out of it and the Normal-Type She raised an eyebrow as she saw a small Eevee before her that seemed very happy to participate and looked at her trainer with a disappointed expression.

"Don't worry, if it's a Pokémon of hers, it won't be easy to defeat," he explained while putting his cap back, a sign that he would take it seriously, so she cracked her knuckles, ready for any surprises they had in store for her.

"So you named her? That means you have a close relationship with her, huh?"

Robert's analytical expression changed when he saw the rabbit blush while placing her hands on her cheeks and striking a shy pose.

"That's not what he means," the black-haired man scolded her, his face red and a drop of sweat running down his neck.

"Hehe, I see, so you see her as a partner. I hope that helps... EEVEE, SET RAINY DAY NOW."

Soon the sky darkened as The clouds turned dark, and drops began to fall, making them bounce off the ground and wet the Pokémon. They tensed up, not knowing what was happening.

OK, now throw Surf_

After saying that, the small Normal-Type was lifted by a wave that began to push him forward, where the rabbit was, who opened her mouth in surprise.

Don't worry, Keiko, use Dig_

The Normal-Type nodded and began to dig dirt out of the ground to get through the hole and escape the pressure of the water.

When the wave faded, the Eevee was searching for its opponent but didn't realize it was standing in a large puddle.

NOW THROW ICE HAMMER_

Unable to dodge, the rabbit came out from under the ground and landed a direct blow to its chest, sending it flying while its fur filled with frost and its legs and tail hardened as they were trapped in the water. Thin layers of ice.

"Damn, I forgot Lopunny's signature moves are Ice-Type."

Robert grumbled, but he didn't seem bothered. In fact, he was smiling and trembling slightly, as he hadn't had battles like this before, except for the Gym Leaders who had already earned their badge.

"Well, never mind. We better take this seriously. EEVEE, TAKE OFF YOUR COLLAR."

As he finished saying that, a golden circle appeared on the fur on his neck. The Normal-Type touched it, and it opened. When it fell to the ground, it cracked, causing Ash and his partner to widen their eyes in surprise.

"What the heck, Rob? Did you put that on for what I think it was?"

The green-eyed man questioned, scared, since he thought he knew what would happen next.

"EEVEE USE QUICK ATTACK"

Without thinking, the brown-furred man moved really fast, leaving a white trail and his silhouette while the rabbit tried to find him.

"YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO DODGE IT. USE YOUR ARMS AS A SHIELD AND ACTIVATE PROTECTION"

The green dome surrounded her, and the blow was stopped, but the shockwave pushed her close to her trainer.

"That hurt a lot."

The Normal-Type moved her arms, since they had gone numb from the force exerted.

"I must say, you impressed me, but you didn't." I know why you're showing me your tricks. You know if I can get through all the gyms, we might face off in the Pokémon League.

I asked, making the blue-haired man smile as he scratched his cheek.

"I'm absolutely sure you'll make it. Besides, you're not that far behind. I heard about that mechanic you created. Show me so I know how far I am from reaching you, because out of all of us, you're the strongest."

Hearing all this, Ash's expression changed, but it wasn't visible since he had lowered his head.

"The strongest," heh, you say that as if I was born with my abilities, but I suffered a lot to obtain them. Now I'll show you the result of my sacrifice.

Finishing his words, he touched his bracelet so that his aura began to release and envelop Lopunny, which scared her since he didn't warn her of what he was doing, so she squealed until a cocoon covered her, solidifying her, and she decided. Break it, emerging from it with a slightly different appearance, as her body was more defined than when she entered her Mega, but her muscles were larger and the claws on her paws were longer and harder.

Incredible_

Was all Ash's friend could say, as he didn't understand how something like that could happen. Instead, the Pokémon became nervous, as her breasts, hips, thighs, and buttocks had become more voluptuous, so she thought her trainer had done it to enjoy her attributes. She held her hands over her blushing cheeks, imagining herself in Lurantis's place and how the boy treated her so affectionately.

This is the result of my efforts. Now I'll show you the importance of continuing to progress. Keiko is now a Fighting/Ground Pokémon, so it will be easier to battle with your Eevee._

At that moment, the atmosphere changed, and Robert knew he had to get serious.

EEVEE USES QUICK ATTACK, TACKLE, AND HEAD BUM

The little boy nodded, his body engulfed in energy, turning into a projectile headed straight for Lopunny, who was anxiously waiting for him.

(Why doesn't he order her to do something? Is he overconfident? No, Ash isn't one of those trainers. It means he has something planned?)

Robert thought, just as the two Pokémon collided, creating a smokescreen that raised expectations. When it dissipated, the blue-haired man looked surprised. The rabbit already had the Normal-Type gripped inches from its abdomen.

You just did it to show off... USE REVENGE

In that instant, before it could move, the Eevee took double the damage it had caused, so it shot out at Robert's feet, who could only open his mouth, unable to understand what had happened.

Apparently, I win_

Ash commented, deactivating the bracelet and disappointing Lopunny, who wanted to stay in that form to "play" with him.

Sighing, he lay down on the ground with his arms outstretched as he looked at the simulated sky with a tired smile. The rabbit, for her part, let herself fall onto him, snuggling into his chest as she engraved his scent in her mind, since she hadn't had the chance to be that close to him.

The protagonist could only resign himself since he knew she was very respectful of his relationship with Lurantis, so he let her enjoy her moment. Little did he know that she would have situations like this to deal with in the future.

By the way, what question did you want to ask me?_

He asked his friend, who sat to the side while petting his Eevee.

With this fight, I'm sure you answered it, but I'll ask you anyway. What are Pokémon to you?

This didn't take the boy by surprise, but he still paused to think of an answer that would satisfy him personally. He smiled as he felt Lopunny move over him in her sleep, so he stroked the pink fur on her ears, which calmed her down, and she stopped moving.

I would have told you before that they're as important to me as my mother and my sister; but they would have been empty words. Today I realized that I'm willing to give my life for them. There's no doubt that my goal now is to create a world where humans and all Pokémon live in peace for eternity, and in this way, fulfill the purpose for which Arceus created this world.

He finished while looking at the hologram of the horizon as if it were real, and his friend could only reflect that there was no doubt he was in front of one of the most incredible trainers he had ever met. The obstacles that come in the future definitely look tiny compared to the immeasurable aura that Ash's body gives off, since he was apparently the only one who could see him at the moment.

"ALERT ALERT"

The voice from the lighthouse deactivated the holographic engine, so they decided to go outside to see what was happening. They saw a screen showing a security camera focused on the break room where the boy's companions were after they finished dinner. They decided to store their recent battle comrades, who were asleep from exhaustion, in their Pokeballs.

When they arrived, they couldn't believe how everything was upside down, on fire, or destroyed. They thought it was an intruder, but what they had in front of them made the situation look like something out of a book on mass psychosis.

Lurantis, Blisey, Lucario, and Ninetails were lying on a couch, their faces red, as if they were drunk from overindulging in sake or another alcoholic beverage. Pikachu and Cinderace were embedded in the wall as if trying to stop the battle between Gardevoir and Blaziken in front of them.

"What the hell is going on here?"

He questioned, leading Robert to approach the sleeping Pokémon and examine them briefly.

"They seem to be just asleep, although they have a slight temperature, so something must have caused them to faint, or they were too tired or weak."

He explained, watching as the black-haired man approached two of his stronger companions.

"Enough. I don't know what caused this argument, but I don't care. This isn't the time to fight each other."

Although he was determined to stop them, he was cautious since Blaziken's wrists and ankles glowed with crimson fire, and behind Gardevoir were psychic blades. But what worried him most was that they were in some kind of trance, so it was Cautious

(I hope this works)_

Touching a button on her bracelet, she released some of her accumulated aura, which she placed on her hands and took both of their wrists to begin transmitting her energy quickly enough to wake them up, even though it hurt since she was burning herself from placing her hand on the infernal flames of Fighting/Fire. She felt weak since Gardevoir's horn was draining her power. So she used her willpower to achieve it. They both returned to reality and could see the boy standing in front of them with his right hand in his pants pocket and an uncomfortable grimace on his face.

Are you all right?_

She asked with genuine concern since she cared about their safety, so they were going to answer, but Blaziken ended up fainting since her temperature dropped drastically from using her power too much.

Apparently she reached her limit_

Was the only thing Ash said as he took her in his arms like a princess while Gardevoir He looked at her with jealousy, even though he wished he didn't feel that way.

After that, they all went to the infirmary, where Bill drew blood to analyze what had happened. Everyone was lying on stretchers, except for Gardevoir, who wasn't feeling well for some reason, but they would still test her blood to rule out anything like a virus or bacteria.

He also left Lopunny to rest, and the technology used in the Pokémon Centers would help her recover from her injuries and the wear and tear from her fight with Eevee.

Now Ash was returning to his room with Gardevoir, since she was just tired and fell asleep, so the boy was carrying her. When he arrived, he opened the door, got in, locked it, placed her very gently on the bed so as not to wake her, and took off his clothes to leave them in a basket and take out clean prey while he went into the bathroom, where he had to stifle a gasp, since it was quite spacious and even had a shower and a jacuzzi in the middle. So he uncovered his right hand, showing his Second degree burns so the skin was disintegrated and part of the muscles were visible, so he decided to open his medicine cabinet to take out ointment and bandages to start treating it, trying not to complain of pain and finishing by rinsing his body with his back to the pool, so when he heard a noise he turned around but the water seemed normal so he thought that it was surely the dilation of the pipes since the jacuzzi was always hot.

Uff_

He finally submerged himself, leaving the towel covering his crotch aside since no one else was there, or at least that's what he thought.

He relaxed every muscle in his body and moved his head back so that he would be taken by surprise when Gardevoir shot out of the bottom of the Jacuzzi since he could no longer hold his breath.

What the heck?_

It was the only thing he could say since he opened his eyes and mouth as wide as he could because the Pokémon had an uninhibited expression, red cheeks, half-closed eyes, and most importantly, she was naked since she wasn't wearing her typical green and white outfit, so the boy could finally appreciate her 100% white skin that seemed made of silk and porcelain because of how soft and immaculate it looked.

He gulped since for some reason he couldn't look away from what he saw, falling on the female's breasts, who, by the way, He pressed with his forearms making them look bigger and in front of him were her pink nipples and her areolas shining from the water that ran from her head and went down surrounding her mammary glands, abdomen, until falling back into the Jacuzzi because they met in the folds of the girl that gave off steam since she was in a state similar to heat.

"What are you doing, Hiyomi?"

He asked, trying to make her see reason, since the glow her body gave off, which was lost between her breasts, was making her feel like she was in some kind of trance.

(I want to thank you for everything you've done for me and the others.)

And she approached the boy, who tried to grab her towel to put it on, but the Pokémon threw it with her telekinesis and used it to fly and stand face to face with the boy. He now saw her eyes filled with desire, but deep down, a feeling was looming, and all it needed was a push to make it come out.

"You don't need to do this..."

He was interrupted when the green-haired girl kissed him directly on the lips and took the opportunity to wrap her arms around him, pressing her body against his. Her horn touched Ketchum's chest, and the energy she released went straight to his heart, bringing out his own feelings, those he tried to bury in the back of his mind, believing he should only He loved Lurantis, but now he couldn't stop, as if she were a dam that had broken because it couldn't hold its contents and had now overflowed.

Letting himself be carried away by his instincts, as if he were less than an animal, he placed his hands on the Gardevoir's buttocks, making her moan between kisses as they kept connecting their lips and the bathroom was filled with the lascivious sound of their oral cavities colliding.

Buaahhh_

They both let out a sound of relief as they were breathless, so the boy moved to kiss her cheek, moved up her face to the protuberances on her head that functioned as protectors for her ears and neural receptors, and began to bite them lightly, making her moan while he moved her hair so that he had a larger free area as he also bit her neck, exciting her even more as she could feel an object lightly stinging her abdomen and leaving sticky spots on her skin.

For her part, Gardevoir began to run her hands over the boy's back and arms, detailing every muscle and scar, empathizing with all the pain he suffered and keeping in mind that her new purpose would be to help him forget all the bad things from his past and make him happy for the rest of his life.

When she felt she couldn't take it anymore, she finally screamed as she felt her juices shooting out as the black-haired man kept squeezing and hitting her buttocks, which were now pink from being manipulated so much, which is why he ended up cumming.

Calming down, she separated from the boy to take his hands and look at his bandage, which made him put on a worried expression.

"Calm down, I have a very good pain threshold."

He explained, but she shook her head and removed the bandages to clean off the ointment she had put on him and use her Fairy energy to make the pain disappear and the wound heal completely.

"Thank you, Hiyomi."

She smiled at him and kissed him while using her tongue to touch his and placed her hands on his. hands on her breasts so he could begin to squeeze, move, and squeeze her nipples.

This made Gardevoir feel like jelly as she trembled and moved all over the place while moaning with all her might as Ash began to lick and suck on her breasts while nibbling on them, exciting her even more.

She soon came again, so the boy moved away from her tits, which went from being white as milk to red as apples. He saw them once more while savoring them in his mind. He decided to kneel down to finally be close to the one who caused all this disaster: Gardevoir's crotch, which now gave off an exciting and intoxicating aroma that made him focus his mind on fulfilling one of his most primitive instincts: that of procreation.

Taking her folds, he separated them and, without waiting for her to be, he inserted his tongue so she would regain consciousness and lose it again due to the pleasure he was causing her. It moved inside her while pressing her clitoris with her fingers and she held the boy's head to keep from falling into the water since her legs were losing strength and her hips could only move forward because of how well her coach was serving her sexually.

(Yes... Keep going... Like that... I... KYAAAAAA)_

Unable to resist it any longer, she ended up cumming, completely wetting the boy who kept moving his tongue inside her while he pushed the girl's bud into his mouth. He tasted the sweet nectar of the Psychic/Fairy. He couldn't do anything but get hard and hold his breath as the girl had his head trapped while she regained control of her trembling body. She sighed, letting go, and moaned as she felt him pull his tongue out of her vulva.

You're very sweet_

He commented while licking his lips, making her blush deeply. But that didn't stop her from using her Telekinesis to lift him up and kiss him, taking him by surprise since he still had her juices in his mouth.

You're right_

She replied, separating from his display of affection to push him to the edge of the Jacuzzi, exposing his erect member, so she had to kneel in front of him. He bit her lip as she swallowed at the size of it and what it meant to have it inside her.

(It's my turn to please you)

She said, placing her left hand on Ash's testicles while caressing them. Her right hand was placed on his shaft, moving it up and down, moving the skin that covered it, leaving it completely exposed, showing its pink color and making it more appetizing to the girl. She began to plant kisses on the tip while circling it with her tongue, lightly touching it, causing muscle spasms in the green-eyed man, who could only squeeze the edge of the Jacuzzi, trying not to break it with his imposing strength.

(It's salty, but I like it)

The green-haired woman smiled as she couldn't stop running her tongue along its length, and her hand did everything to move his sac, trying to stimulate it, which she achieved. She heard a moan from the boy, which made her smile, so she continued lubricating it. When it was completely soaked, she opened her mouth to place the tip inside. She began to lower herself slowly, using both hands to manipulate what wouldn't fit in her mouth.

For his part, the boy could only enjoy it and feel like he'd had the same experience with someone else, but he couldn't remember who, since Gardevoir's pheromones had blocked out everything but this moment, so he felt no remorse.

Fuck, you're amazing, keep it up_

The woman smiled as she touched herself, feeling a tingling sensation that hadn't stopped since the boy stopped licking her.

With his persistence, she managed to get halfway in and tried to hold her breath, wanting to give the boy everything she could because of the love she felt for him.

Damn, I can't hold it anymore, I'm going to pull out_

Ash was about to pull away, but he didn't expect his partner to grab his waist and force his entire member down her throat, forcing the tightness to force him to cum. This happened, as he ended with a grunt. while he thrust his hips, driving his member into the girl's mouth to extract a large load of his seed that went straight to the empath's stomach, who could do nothing but moan as she came for the third time because she loved the boy's taste, even more than chocolate or vanilla, her favorite ice cream flavor.

Damn, that was incredible_

The boy commented, completely sweaty and ecstatic. The girl pulled away, showing off his glistening member, having swallowed every drop of his thick seed.

(You're delicious, Master~~)_

Gardevoir's tone made Ash harder, and since he was still feeling the urge, he decided to get up and take her in his arms, not caring that they were wet. He carried her to the bed where her dress was. He placed her on an armchair and placed her on it, grabbing her legs as he separated them, exposing her entrance. The boy looked at her with desire. He approached her to begin lubricating her, as he wanted the girl to have the best sexual experience of her life. Little did he know, the next one would always be better.

(By Arceus, you're an expert. Keep it up, yeah, come on, huh?)_

Just when he thought he was going to have another pleasurable orgasm, Ketchum stopped to grab the base of his member and bring it closer to his. The girl's vaginal lips

And before she could ask him why he stopped, she had to stifle a moan as the boy moved so fast, sliding his entire length between her folds that her juices began to flow out, even falling onto the sheets, already wet from the Jacuzzi water that had completely drained from their bodies and was replaced by the sweat that soaked their bodies, which instinctively stuck together.

(Please, put it in already)

She begged with all her might, so the green-eyed man narrowed his gaze while smiling. He pushed her knees until they touched her collarbones and placed her ankles on his shoulders for comfort. He took his base again, but this time he guided the tip directly to her entrance. Thanks to the combined juices and saliva, he entered, causing the Psychic/Fairy Type to bend her head back as she moaned with all her might because she couldn't cover her mouth since her hands were busy running them over him. The boy's hair and went down to feel every muscle and scar on her back, so he tried not to push it all at once, but he didn't expect her to push him with her powers, because in a spasm, her horn fired a shot that pulled him forward, inserting his entire member and completely exposing her interior.

(BY ARCEUS, AHHHHH)_

This caused her to have a fourth orgasm, since she didn't expect her partner to pierce her so suddenly.

For his part, Ash could only breathe while his hair covered his eyes and his glans touched the entrance to the gardevoir's uterus, whose gaze was wild and her tongue was sticking out of her mouth. So he turned to look at her to kiss her and play with his tongue as he pulled out, leaving only the tip inside. He thrust again, causing more involuntary spasms throughout her white body.

It was an hour of full-force thrusts, encouraged by her, who told him not to hold back because she wanted to receive all his love. So while their crotches furiously collided, they kissed, intertwined their tongues, bit each other's lips, and left marks on each other's necks and shoulders.

He had even let go of her legs and they were parallel, joining their crotches in the most basic form of carnal instincts.

Fuck, I'm so close_

The boy commented, making Gardevoir smile, knowing she was about to get her reward. So she began to squeeze her insides while whispering to the black-haired man to let him out deep inside her. So she didn't think about it much and with a final guttural grunt, he unloaded his seed as he entered her uterus, filling it completely, leaving her knocked out after having a fifth and final orgasm that left her on the verge of unconsciousness.

(You were (amazing)_

The Psychic/Fairy praised her as the boy got off her to lie down beside her.

You too, I loved your kisses and how you moaned while you caressed me_

Ash replied, catching his breath only to see her slowly approach his crotch.

And without saying anything, he swallowed his phallus again, which was still hard, but with the fluids mixed together, he was finally able to put it all inside her mouth and pull it out completely clean and shiny with his saliva.

(Not a drop wasted)_

He told her, opening his mouth wide, showing her that he had tried everything.

Apparently, Ash had found a personality that Gardevoir had hidden, but it didn't bother him.

He put his hands under her armpits to pull her down and place her on top of him.

I love you, Hiyomi_

He said, giving her a kiss on the forehead, causing her to respond with her skin turning from white to red, since she hadn't expected that kind of affection.

Me too. I love you, Master_

She replied so that he would be embarrassed and reproach her while scolding her because he didn't like her calling him that.

I'm sorry, it was something I used to do with my old coach..._

She couldn't finish as a lump formed in her throat and large tears began to fall from her ruby eyes.

Relax, I'll always be here to protect you_

The green-eyed man promised her so she would calm down while they both now lay in bed with her moving a delicate finger over the boy's chest and he running his rough hands over her bare back, drawing sighs from her.It was an hour of full-force thrusts, encouraged by her, who told him not to hold back because she wanted to receive all his love.

(I thank Arceus for letting me meet you. You're incredible. You're kind, strong, skilled, and also handsome, hehe)

The Psychic/Fairy praised her as she hid her face in the boy's chest.

I should be thankful, Hiyomi. That you chose me to spend such an intimate moment with shows me the depth of your feelings and why I must protect them. From now on, I'll be more attentive to you.

They hugged each other tightly, falling asleep, exhausted, wishing Creselia would watch over their dreams.

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X

Morning had arrived and the sun rose vigorously, its rays penetrating our protagonist's room directly in his face, but he didn't wake up until the dream he had where he was sailing on a boat to all the regions changed to show him approaching a port in Hoen where his sister, mother, Pikachu, and the Pokémon that accompanied him on this journey were waiting for him, except for Lurantis, but for some reason she didn't care.

When he got off the boat, everyone hugged him in welcome, even Blaziken, but she didn't care either. The only one who didn't approach was Gardevoir, so he stood in front of her to find out what was happening, but froze when he saw what she was holding in her hands: it was a pregnancy test. They both began to cry with happiness while the others celebrated, and everything went blurry, causing him to wake up hyperventilating.

But he didn't want to think about that for the moment, so he decided to take a long bath to put on a new set of clothes and go straight to Billy's workshop where he Gary, Robert, and the lighthouse owner were waiting.

Good morning.

He waved to them, prompting them to respond while he watched some fairly detailed plans on the giant screen on the wall.

"So, what's all that?"

The auburn-haired man asked, crossing his arms. He had a hunch, but wanted to be sure.

"This is thanks to your grandfather's arduous research. Finally, after several years, I can investigate that giant Pokémon that has been seen in the open sea."

He explained, showing some blurry images of a huge creature walking in the water, moving away from some boats. He typed something to play an audio clip that sounded like a roaring beast.

"According to my research, this Pokémon grew because of the unstable Galar Particles and wants help returning to normal, but it's afraid of hurting someone because of its size. So, with this machine, we can locate it and absorb all the particles."

He explained, getting the three boys excited and wanting to help it.

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X

Chloe, Misty, Yellow, Serena, and Leaf were chatting pleasantly.

"Did you and Ash really fight against Team Rocket?"

I asked, looking at the protagonist's sister, who was a little embarrassed since she wasn't used to receiving praise and attention.

"It's not that big a deal. Onii-chan did most of it by giving me this bracelet. He told me that the stone absorbs my aura and uses it to give the Pokémon more power."

I remembered her brother's words and how that battle went, but I couldn't forget James' words to his brother. But they kept talking.

"If I hadn't met Ash before all that, I wouldn't have believed it. But it's impressive what he does to take care of the Pokémon, even at the cost of his own life. His determination is frightening, but at the same time, I admire him, but don't tell him."

Misty flattered the green-eyed man, but ended with her typical tsundere attitude because she didn't want to show that she was In love with him

They continued talking about the boy's qualities to get to know each other better, so they decided to have breakfast since they knew the boys would be locked away building who knows what.

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X

Now we go to the infirmary where all the Pokémon that had been infected with the unstable Galar Particles were finally recovered, but they were as good as new, so they were now eating pleasantly together, except for Pikachu, who had gone out to look for Ash, and Blaziken, who was away from the group because she was upset by their behavior last night.

Suddenly, the door opened, revealing Gardevoir carrying a small box in her arms. She scanned the room and saw the Fire/Fighting Pokémon, so she approached her and looked up at her.

The Hoenn native was about to speak when she received a light slap from her compatriot, but no one spoke because it was so sudden that they didn't know how to respond.

"That was because of what you said last night. It really hurt."

I explained why the fighting bird lowered her defeated gaze, since she was sorry and thought that Gardevoir wouldn't forgive her for her behavior, but she turned to look at her again as she brought her hand closer to her. box she was carrying with her

And this is for attacking you first, take it_

And she smiled at her, making the Fire/Fighting girl blush, putting purple feathers on her cheeks, so she put down her plate and grabbed it to open it, surprised

They're PokeMuffins, thank you very much, Hiyomi_

She thanked her, making the green-haired girl smile at her while nodding and bringing her hand to her companion's cheek

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you_

And she used her Fairy Energy to heal the blow, making the affected girl happy as a warm aura flooded her body

(Don't worry, I'm very tough. By the way, vague memories of me hurting someone come back to me. Who was it?)_

This question took the Psychic/Fairy by surprise, but she remained calm and searched for the best way to answer.

(Ah... Don't worry, you burned our trainer's right hand, but it was nothing. It healed really quickly, and I don't think it hurt that much. I mean, have you seen all his scars? I'm sure it was like a tiny warm breeze?)_

The red-eyed woman continued talking, unaware that the Blaziken's gaze darkened as her eyes trembled and she sweated coldly.

(I... hurt... him.)_

She thought, clenching her fists tightly, reliving old traumas from the past.

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X

Now the boys were finishing 3D printing all the parts they would use and began building the device.

"Okay, now put this piece on top and secure it."

Billy explained to Ash, who was carrying the heaviest pieces and then screwing them down so Ash could write code into the computer to configure it.

Meanwhile, Robert and Gary were assembling the parts that came out and installing the electronic and electrical circuits to be able to use the machine Professor Oak had created.

"Now put this one in and connect the power supply. Okay, now let's configure everything that's missing and... Damn."

He paused for a moment to curse under his breath at the eight trainers who saw each other.

"What's going on?"

Ash asked, approaching the device and calibrating the built-in microphones and the Unstable Particle deposits while the lighthouse owner continued typing frantically.

"The sound limit is set at 6,000 decibels." And the giant Pokemon's screams are speculated to reach up to 10,000. If it exceeds the limit, it will crash, and we want it to be able to be used normally to purify it as quickly as possible.

He explained so Ash could finish his task and approach the giant screen.

Hmm, could you create a program that takes the sound and separates it into multiple layers and sublayers? This way, there won't be any danger in using the machine?

This got Billy thinking and impressed his two friends, since they weren't familiar with this side of the boy.

They continued working while having fun, and finally, the antenna was finished printing for testing.

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X

Now we focus on Team Rocket, who were in a small boat under the lighthouse on the cliff.

"Okay, our next mission is to infiltrate the lighthouse to steal all the plans we can."

Jessi explained, reading what they sent her on her Black RotomDex. When she tried to use it as a mirror to put on lipstick, she was electrocuted. In a fit of rage, she kicked it so it flew away as a worthy representative of her organization.

"Hey, don't we need it to transfer all the information?"

James asked worriedly, a drop of sweat running down the back of his neck.

"I think so."

Meowth replied exasperatedly, but he was already used to his teammates' behavior.

"It doesn't matter. I had a backup and new tools anyway."

She explained, opening her backpack and taking out bracelets for each of them and a larger RotomDex similar to a laptop but without a keyboard.

"This is amazing, Jessie."

The purple-haired man praised while analyzing his device. Holographic, and Meowth nodded, imagining all the possibilities.

"Oh wow, this is good," the female said, raising an eyebrow at her companions.

"Look who's at the lighthouse."

And she showed them several images taken by Team Rocket's spy satellite.

"It's the fool and his friends."

Meowth smiled, wanting his revenge on Ash, and James wanted to wipe away the dream with him.

"Okay, let's get on with our work."

They turned around and began climbing the mountain, hoping the sea level wouldn't rise. But they didn't know that something bigger was approaching, and someone was watching them from afar, waiting for the moment to attack the lighthouse.

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X

Finally, the machine was assembled, and the kids were celebrating, eating while having fun.

"Okay, it's time to take it to the roof of the lighthouse. With this, we'll finally be able to discover the origin of the Unstable Particles, since the more we have, the more we can use the conversion to find where they're being produced."

Billy explained, getting the kids to nod. Just as they were about to move it, they had to take cover, as the wall facing outside exploded, sending up a cloud of dust and debris that scattered all over the place.

"What the hell?"

When it dissipated, a silver suit with a futuristic Alolan Ninetails design could be seen, and it also gave off murderous intent.

"What are you doing here?"

Ash was the first to recover from the shock and stood between the individual and the machine.

"I've come for that device. Our goal is to gain control of the Unstable Particles and manufacture them ourselves."

He told them in a robotic voice, and the The boys gulped, having no idea what he was capable of to accomplish his mission.

"I see. Too bad it won't be easy."

After saying that, the black-haired man moved in a burst of speed to land a punch on the left side of his face, throwing him against a wall and denting it in the process.

"TAKE HER TO THE ROOF NOW. I'LL TRY TO STOP IT AS MUCH AS I CAN."

He approached the guy to grab him by the neck while the robotic tails hit him, but they didn't seem to affect him.

For their part, the others decided to listen to him and start running with the artifact.

"I won't allow that."

The guy pushed Ash with an energy pulse and was about to open the door when the black-haired man tackled him, slamming him into one of the walls.

"I'd forgotten how strong you were."

The masked man praised, intriguing the boy, only to have him open his eyes after he took off his helmet, revealing his Identity

Mr. X, but how can you be younger and alive? You exploded in front of me_

Ketchum seemed scared because he didn't understand what was happening.

Exactly, but thanks to technology, I was able to come back to life, thanks to the fact that they're always mapping my brain in real time_

He turned around to show him a chip at the base of his skull and turned back to see Ash, who was clenching his fists, ready for anything.

Are you a clone, then?_

The green-eyed man asked, tensing his muscles when the man started laughing.

Basically, although it will take a while to meet you again since the methods my employer uses aren't state-of-the-art, so I was created from scratch. So I decided to have a younger body to match your level._

And he put his helmet back on while the tails joined together to fire an icy beam trying to freeze the protagonist, who moved a split second before it touched him, ending up with his shoes frosted over. He almost slipped, but not before pressing a button. Some lasers trapped the subject, leaving him inside a holographic prison.

I hope it lasts long enough._

And he went out the door to close it and write a code on the screen, sealing the room to have enough time to come up with a plan.

I must find the girls._

And he ran away after taking off his shoes while he heard the man trying to get out of the energy prison.

As he was about to enter the common room, he had to step aside when he saw the door fly out and hit the the wall as it smoked

WHAT THE HELL?_

He ran into the place and saw it was filled with smoke and several things were melted or burned.

And when he looked ahead, he found his sister with her companions, Leaf, and her Pokémon, fighting against Team Rocket, who had already climbed the mountain.

ENOUGH_

Before they continued destroying the place, he stood in the middle of everyone at the risk of receiving an attack, but he didn't expect to be tackled by Lurantis, Pikachu, and Braixen, knocking him to the ground.

I missed you too_

He commented, standing up with Pikachu on his shoulder, holding Lurantis by the waist in his right arm, and the little fox sitting on his left arm.

Onii-chan, what are you doing? We should throw them out_

His sister tried to reprimand him but was interrupted by the fuchsia-haired woman.

You wish, brat, last time we were too confident, this time we're prepared and even our Pokémon aren't far behind_

And he pressed a button so that Arbok was wrapped in black nanotechnology armor that looked like ordinary clothing but shone with blue lines. Wezzing got a silver necklace with a robotic eye, and Meowth put on black gloves with silver openings for his claws.

Stop, it's not time to fight, Mr. X is back_

Ash dropped the bomb, scaring everyone, except Leaf, who didn't know who he was referring to.

That's impossible. He exploded in front of you._

James seemed very scared; after all, this man had brutally beaten him after telling him he was a traitor.

Well, he's not. Apparently, he can clone himself, and really quickly, because he's younger now. He must be at least in his 30s._

He remembered what he was talking about. The brunette interrupted, trying to understand what was happening.

Mr. X was a former member of Team Rocket, but when Ash fought him and defeated him, he had no choice but to commit suicide by activating a bomb inside him that disintegrated him. He wanted to hurt him, but he couldn't do anything, and we think he died, but I'm sure anything can happen now.

Misty explained, remembering all the feats the brunette had achieved.

Okay, I don't think I'll ask anything else.

She gulped, thinking about what her friends had experienced on this short trip.

"By the way, what about Brook?"

Ketchum asked, only for Serena to respond with a drop of sweat running down her neck.

"Oh, he's still in the kitchen, making food like there's no tomorrow."

Ash put his hand to his chin and smiled.

"I have an idea, but I'm going to need your help."

And he approached Team Rocket, surprising his friends.

"GARDEVOIR/BLAZIKEN"

As if synchronized, his teammates shouted indignantly, and he stopped them by raising his hand. They resigned themselves, knowing he could accomplish anything.

For his part, James saw the boy's hand and took it, astonishing everyone, even the black-haired one, who didn't expect him to listen so quickly.

"Okay, here's what we'll do..."

And he began to explain, making everyone smile.

Then After half an hour, Mr. X had left the Control Room, so he began searching for the protagonist or some of those inside the lighthouse. After all, he had been told to eliminate anyone who interfered.

And when he approached the kitchen door, he smiled as he heard people talking, so he destroyed the door and entered. But he didn't expect the floor to be covered in oil, so he flew out to the wall near the freezer and landed on the floor.

Damn_

He planted his tails on the floor and was about to leave when his suit warned him that the level of butane gas in the air was very high. He was about to jump out when a fiery ball entered and everything went white for a moment. He flew out and landed inside a training room.

Thanks for joining me, Kaen. You too, Mizuki_

Ash, Blaziken, and Lucario came out of the freezer with a smile, since the guy had fallen into the trap as planned.

(I'll always follow you.) Master)_

Fighting/Steel answered while happily wagging her tail, embarrassing the boy.

Oh, just call me Ash, please_

He scratched his head trying to get rid of the embarrassment but calmed down when he heard a mocking laugh from Fire/Fighting.

Anyway, we should hurry, let's go_

They left the kitchen through the hallway that had no oil and entered the Training Room where it was raining, created by the Holographic Engine.

When the doors closed, they could see all their teammates sending Electric Attacks at them, and although they used their tails to deflect them, they weren't fast enough to counter them all.

Okay, Mizuki uses Energy Focus and charges a Glow Focus, I'll tell you when to release it_

Fighting/Steel nodded, and her aura began to accumulate in her horn, so her chest glowed, denoting how symmetrical they were and how they moved slightly from the energy she absorbed.

Mr. X, for his part, looked tired and desperate because he couldn't move since Gengar had him by the feet and couldn't hurt him since he was being protected by Gardevoir, Lurantis for her part wrapped him from the heels to the chest of Latigo Cepa and this limited him quite a bit so he didn't know what would happen next

(Demons, did he really plan all this in under half an hour? There's no doubt he's a threat to my boss's plans)

He was about to use Plan B—triggering a sonic explosion from his suit to get away from everyone—but he didn't expect the Electric Attacks to suddenly stop. When he looked toward Ash, he didn't expect Lucario to unleash all his power, momentarily blinding him, as the temperature began to drop rapidly.

ICE BEAM, NOW

Medicham focused her power on her forehead, and the three yellow dots glowed sapphire-blue as her dream crystallized and the rain turned into snow. She fired the attack, covering him in frost and turning him into a frozen statue.

FLAME BURST

At that moment, Charizard, Cinderace, Blaziken, Arbok, Braixen, and Charmander obeyed the boy, launching the attack to melt the ice. Mr. X's armor shattered into thousands of pieces, scattered across the floor.

I have to admit you're a real threat. Luckily, this time I won't be going alone.

The now-young mercenary pulled out a button and was about to use it when a cube of energy surrounded him, leaving him stunned.

I thought of everything. I knew you'd try to eliminate me or at least hurt me without caring about your own life, since you can always return. So in there, you're the only one who'll suffer.

Ash explained, leaving everyone astonished as his calculations were proven correct.

And speaking of plans… it should be close now.

Just as they were about to ask what he meant, a small tremor was felt, increasing in intensity every few seconds.

Computer, show us the exterior.

The simulation ended, and the wall turned into a screen showing the sea. Everyone stood in shock as a giant silhouette surrounded by crimson clouds approached, moving the ocean like an unstoppable force of nature.

Guys, can you hear me? Were you able to use the machine?

Ash grabbed his Pokédex and called Robert, Gary, and Bill, who were on the lighthouse roof.

It's going great! Your modifications were really solid. And if you're talking now, that must mean you managed to capture the intruder, right?

Bill sounded excited, as he was one step closer to fulfilling his dream and wrapping up his research to start on more important topics.

That's right. He's locked up and won't be bothering us anymore.

The black-haired boy confirmed, just as Mr. X started laughing uncontrollably, making everyone uncomfortable.

What's so funny?

Gary asked, hearing the man.

Oh, nothing. I'm just remembering that I did something before you caught me. ACTIVATE REGENT PROTOCOL.

He shouted, causing the machine to repeat the phrase as it began to make strange noises, putting everyone around it on edge.

WHAT WAS THAT?

Ash approached the man, who smiled arrogantly.

I knew you'd do anything to keep me away from that thing, so when I explained my plan, I sent a trojan that would activate with the keyword I just said. My boss doesn't care about Galar Particles—after all, we can copy your blueprints and use them ourselves.

Ash was about to demand an explanation when the Dynamaxed Pokémon let out a roar, unleashing a powerful windstorm that shook the lighthouse and created giant waves crashing against the cliff.

Now your machine hypnotized that titan, and it will destroy this place—and possibly part of Kanto. Hope you're happy, because thanks to you, this is happening.

Ash clenched his fists but calmed down—he needed a cool head. He turned around after feeling the hairs on his neck stand up and widened his eyes as the Pokémon's mouth began to glow. He gathered his partners close.

ANYONE WHO CAN CREATE A BARRIER, DO IT NOW

Seeing how desperate he looked, Gardevoir, Medicham, Gengar, Lurantis, and Cleffa all used their moves to create one outside the lighthouse. But it still wasn't enough—the Hyper Beam shattered the barriers and blasted through the lighthouse diagonally, carving a deep hole into the mountain.

Damn it, this is bad. Have you shut that thing down yet?

Ash asked his teammates, who told him they were still trying.

Damn it… stall it for a few minutes. I'll be there soon.

He sighed out his stress and looked at his sister.

Chloe, go to the infirmary. Get everything that might be useful and then hide in the Security Room. I already sent you the location. Everyone who made barriers—recreate them and use any other helpful moves.

The trainers followed orders and headed where the purple-haired girl had instructed. Only Yellow stayed behind, letting Cleffa help, as she climbed onto Gardevoir's head. Ash blushed at the sight—it was a touching moment.

Alright, Kaen, Himiko, and Charla (Leaf's Charizard), I need you to stand in front of this hole. It's deep enough to be a structural hazard for the lighthouse. I want you to fire inside it. The heat will help melt and strengthen the rock foundation. If we don't, this place could collapse.

The three nodded, hitting their right fists into their left palms with serious expressions.

Cinderace formed a Pyro Ball and kicked it down the hole. Charizard launched a Flamethrower with white-tipped flames to push the sphere forward, and Blaziken used Fire Punch to keep the heat concentrated.

Perfect. Stay like that for about 63 seconds. When the count is up, stop completely.

The Fire/Fighting-type smiled confidently, and he gave her a thumbs-up. She wagged her tail unconsciously and blushed, though he didn't notice or understand why.

Mizuki, you're coming with me to the roof.

She clasped her hands together and smiled, showing her fangs.

Let's go.

And both of them took off running straight toward the giant Pokémon and the rest of their friends, who were doing everything they could to reboot the machine.

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X

This is impossible

Billy couldn't overlook the virus—it had embedded itself in every layer of code. Gary kept hitting the terminal, and Robert could only stare at the enormous Pokémon, but instead of being afraid or uneasy, he seemed curious about what it wanted.

Without realizing it, he was approaching the edge of the rooftop, and just as he was about to fall, Ash arrived with Lucario, who remained calm despite everything happening around them.

"Have you managed to reboot her?"

He asked, prompting all three to shake their heads, and his expression turned serious.

"Hmm, I didn't want to go this far. Mizuki, get ready—it's time to fight."

He took the Pokémon by the waist and jumped into the void, while his friends rushed to the edge to watch, intrigued.

"Aura Fusion!"

He released the girl and pressed his bracelet, causing the energy in his body to merge with the surrounding energy, changing from white to red, then combining into a pink hue that shot towards the Fighting/Steel-type Pokémon. She was enveloped in a cocoon that exploded, flooding the area with pink light and blinding everyone for a few seconds.

"Blargh!"

At that moment, Ash fell into the sea and sank momentarily, but a giant hand grabbed him and pulled him out. When he looked up, he saw his partner in a giant form, red clouds covering her massive breasts and hips, which looked like they could destroy mountains.

The jackal gently picked him up and placed him between her breasts, resting him on her nipple. Embarrassed, he flushed while she wagged her tail happily, generating immense gusts of wind.

"Ash surpasses himself every time,"

Robert beamed with pride for his friend. Bill could only kneel and cry, declaring he wasn't worthy of being near someone like the protagonist. Gary, eyes wide and fists clenched, couldn't help but feel that Ketchum was always two steps ahead. Though he hadn't wanted to be a Pokémon trainer before, a sense of rivalry began to grow within him—one that would drive him forward in the future.

"Alright, time to calm this beast down. Mizuki, you're not just huge now—your types have mutated: you're now Ice/Electric. This way you can face this alleged Dragonite."

Just then, the machine made a sound. Ash held onto the horn of the girl as she delivered a kick that sent a wave crashing into the Pokémon, and her hands began to generate electricity.

"USE HIGH VOLTAGE!"

The spot where the Dynamaxed Pokémon stood lit up in gold, and a massive surge of lightning engulfed it, making it scream in pain and flail its arms.

Wounded, it let out a roar and prepared a Hyper Beam, taking its time to charge, so Ash used the opportunity to switch to Ice-type moves.

"LAUNCH ICE CHANT!"

As the Hyper Beam fired, the icy spheres struck Dragonite, pushing it down into the ocean floor.

(DAMN. BARRIER.)

The dark-haired boy raised his hands and created a wall, cloaked in illusions—since the jackal didn't know this move yet, she was surprised when the energy stopped mere meters from her. But the blast was still too much, so she crossed her arms—almost distracting the boy as her breasts pressed against him—but he held firm to maintain the move, enduring the intense energy that could've harmed her.

When the energy dispersed, she lowered her arms, and the boy finally caught his breath, kneeling as smoke rose from his arms, as if they were burning.

(I underestimated that attack. He's not acting wildly; he's storing energy. That means he's not out of control but receiving encoded orders—that's why he's using his power like this.)

As his vision cleared, he noticed drops of blood on his lips and touched his nose, wiping it clean so his partner wouldn't worry.

"ASH, WE FINALLY REBOOTED THE MACHINE. IT'S STOPPED SENDING CODES AND IS READY TO ABSORB ALL THE UNSTABLE PARTICLES!"

He smiled and pressed the response button on his Pokédex.

"Perfect. Is everything ready?"

He asked, and Billy replied, concerned.

"Unfortunately, I couldn't program it to absorb only the rogue GP (Galar Particles). It'll take them from your Pokémon too."

That didn't seem to bother him. He told them to activate it at maximum power when he gave the signal.

"Right on cue."

In the distance, Team Rocket approached in their hot air balloon, with James holding a bazooka.

"Mizuki, when I say so, gather all your power into your hand and throw me where James fires."

She nodded, coating her hand in ice and gently grabbing him, bringing him close to her mouth and giving him a kiss, leaving his hair damp with her saliva.

"Wha—WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"

His face turned red, not expecting that from her.

(Sorry, I'm nervous.)

She replied, wagging her tail erratically. He calmed down and smiled.

Meanwhile, the purple-haired one was typing on his Pokédex.

"Wind speed, Earth tilt, globe rotation, projectile resistance, smoke density..."

As he calculated, his teammates watched with a sweat drop rolling down their heads, amazed.

"Sometimes I forget he was a child prodigy,"

Meowth remarked, closing his eyes.

Jessie watched him in a trance—she'd always been drawn to smart men—but for some reason, the image of her friend was replaced by that of the protagonist who had asked her for help to create an opening and distraction.

But it wasn't the usual image of Ash—she saw him more mature, handsome, sensing his true soul that, for some reason, he kept hidden.

She had no choice but to slap herself to stop thinking about that—at least about her current enemy that way.

"Alright, got it. James of Team Rocket will perform a miracle. Fire two projectiles at once!"

Before his teammates could ask what he meant, he launched the first missile. It ascended about 15 meters, then redirected toward the giant Dragonite's abdomen.

"Next one!"

The second was smaller, shaped like a cylinder with a red "R" in the middle. It collided with the first, pushing it faster and changing its course skyward before exploding in thick purple smoke that blocked everyone's view, even those at the lighthouse.

"Team Rocket's blasting off again!"

That was the last thing they said before igniting their balloon's engines and heading south, as Mr. X watched, astonished.

(Now I see why the boss asked me to keep an eye on them too—they're a latent threat.)

He thought, as his right eye glowed red, like a built-in camera.

"ALRIGHT MIZUKI, USE PLASMA FIST!"

The jackal nodded, channeling all her Electric power into her hand. Ash gritted his teeth, trying not to complain, but she could feel it through Aura Reading.

"LU..."

The blue-furred one extended her arm like a baseball pitcher, tensed her muscles, and prepared to throw.

"...CARIO!"

Using her weight and gravity, she hurled him with such force that he nearly caught up to the projectile. It struck the giant Dragonite's abdomen and imploded, creating a hole that Ash entered, finding himself in a space suspended in luminous energy. At the center, a cocoon held a Pokémon from the deep sea.

Approaching it, he saw a curled, sleeping Dratini, connected to a machine by several cables.

"Just as I suspected. They used an unevolved Pokémon and manipulated the GP to make it look like its final form. I better end this."

He turned the dial on his bracelet, causing the Hadenite to disperse the unstable Particles, but the machine began flashing and emitting a warning sound.

"So they set a Firewall. Probably a bomb to erase all evidence. First, I need to save the Dratini. Good thing I always carry a Poké Ball of every type."

He opened his Pokédex, pulled out a Dive Ball, and carefully tore the sack where the Water-type was trapped, detaching the cables from its body. The bomb hadn't gone off yet, but it was only a matter of time.

Once the Pokémon was free, it grabbed the sphere, and he tossed it, hoping to help it later.

The blue ball opened, engulfed the Dratini in white light, and clicked shut. It trembled slightly as the Pokémon was in an induced coma. When the button turned green, the dark-haired boy sighed in relief and watched the ball disappear, sent to the Pokémon Ranch.

Then the bomb activated, flooding the area with light and a high-pitched sound—but Ash contained it with his remaining Aura, compressing it to prevent it from disintegrating everything. His Aura was nearly depleted, so he knew James's smoke screen had been a brilliant move.

Smiling, he looked toward the sky, gathered the contained explosion in his hands, and used Fly. Cyan energy enveloped him as he soared through the Galar Particle-formed body at incredible speed, while the machine that had controlled Dratini fell into the sea and was swept away.

Ash passed through the false Dragonite's head. The only one who saw him was Lucario, who had also reverted from her Dynamax form, returning to her usual types.

Reaching the stratosphere in five minutes, he used the momentum to throw the explosion, but with his Aura nearly gone, the sphere cracked, releasing heat and energy.

Knowing he couldn't escape in time, he flew back toward the lighthouse.

"AGHHHH!"

The detonation took him by surprise, slamming into his back and leaving him stunned, nearly unconscious. He tore off the Hadenite from his bracelet, pressed it to his chest, and crushed it, using its remaining power to create a shield before passing out and crashing into a mountain near the lighthouse. The impact shook the mountain and the structure.

When the smoke cleared, his friends saw him lying in a crater, shirt shredded, body covered in scars—his illusion faded. Brock quickly pulled a blanket from his trusty backpack and wrapped him in it, carrying him to the infirmary where he would recover.

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X

After a day of sleeping and recovering his energy, Ash finally woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt his body being crushed as Chloe, Lurantis, Gardevoir, Lucario, and Ninetails jumped to hug him, relieved that he was feeling better.

Girls~_

That was the only thing he said, since they were suffocating him with their breasts and he couldn't even move since he was still a little weak.

Hey, you're going to drown him._

Leaf was the one who saved him by hitting everyone on the head to get them to move away from him. However, they moved away so quickly that they left him behind. Since he still had anesthesia in his body so he wouldn't feel his bones healing, he slipped. The girl approached to grab him, but she didn't calculate it correctly, since the boy fell on her chest and ended up sleeping while snoring and adjusting himself as if he were a pillow.

How soft._

That was the only thing he said, making the brunette blush and causing Misty to She laughed as she fell to the ground and clutched her stomach from the pain of being made fun of.

"What's so funny?"

The Pallet Town native asked as she put the boy to bed so he wouldn't hurt himself.

"I didn't think you'd try anything with Ash when he's hurt like that. Do you have a Savior Complex?"

The orange-haired woman asked this time, only to end up receiving a smack on her head that made her duck in pain.

"What are you talking about?" He and I are just childhood friends, she explained, remembering how they always did things together, and then Robert from Unova arrived, so she started to have feelings for the blue-haired boy. For the first time, she realized she'd left the boy behind, who started playing on his own. Then they met Serena, so the four of them started playing together.

(Did I ignore him for a while?)

She put her fist to her chest, feeling her heart beat too fast and erratically as she lowered her head with a sad expression.

"Hey, calm down, it's not that bad, hehe."

Misty thought she had made her cry, but the atmosphere calmed down when Robert returned because he had received a call from his mother and seemed somewhat worried.

"Is everything okay?"

She asked, so everyone could smile and chat pleasantly.

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X

Ash finally woke up, and this time the girls were less impulsive, but they still seemed happy that he had finally woken up recovered.

"Friend Ash, it's nice to see you well. Thank you so much for saving my life's work."

Billy approached him and gave him a hug, since he was truly happy to be able to continue researching and gathering information about Pokémon from around the world.

"Hey, sorry for the indiscretion, who are you?"

This took everyone by surprise. Did he not remember anything?

(DID YOU FORGET ABOUT ME?)_

The boy's Main Partner approached him and took his hand while looking at him with teary eyes.

Lulu, why are you crying?_

He questioned her, wiping away the tears that were falling like waterfalls from her eyes.

Chloe, Hiyomi, Mizuki, Ginger, Leaf, Robert, Eevee, Brock, why does everyone look like they didn't sleep well? Did something happen?_

She named those present, since the other Pokémon had returned to their Pokeballs, except for Pikachu, who climbed onto her shoulder while rubbing her cheek against his. This made him happy as he stroked its head.

We fought a giant Pokémon, and Mr. X returned as a clone. In the end, you were the only one who could get close to it, and we don't know what happened, since something ended up exploding in the sky, and you fell in front of the lighthouse. Apparently, the impact made you forget everything._

Robert explained. while placing his hand on his chin, wondering if it could be possible.

"Apparently you're right, my friend Robert. Part of his brain is swollen, specifically in the short-term memory area, which is probably why he forgot what happened these past two days. Maybe when the swelling goes down he'll recover his memories, but it's very likely that won't happen."

The blond man said, to everyone's concern and Gardevoir's sadness, since she had opened her heart to him, letting out her deepest feelings.

"But don't worry, he'll be fine with medication."

He took some bottles out of the first aid kit and gave them to Chloe, who put them in her bag since she was the one Ash trusted the most and would take whatever she gave him.

"Well, it's best to continue on our way."

The protagonist got up from the stretcher, grabbed his backpack, and was about to leave until he said goodbye to the blond man for his hospitality, even though he didn't remember much. The others hugged him, grateful to have met him.

When they were outside, it was Robert's turn to interrupt. Everyone looked at him expectantly, even Leaf, because he hadn't told her anything about his call with his mother.

"Guys, I was so happy to travel with you, but yesterday Mom told me Dad had an accident where he broke his legs, and the expenses wiped out his savings, so I'll have to come back to help you."

He explained what made everyone look at him as if he had a second head.

"Are you sure, Robert?" The Pokémon League is in a month, you and Leaf aren't missing many badges. If you want, I could go back. After all, I only have two, and I don't think I'll collect them all.

Ash seemed worried about his friend. After all, participating in the biggest tournament in the region was very important to the blue-haired man.

"Don't worry, it's better if I go back. Besides, I'm sure you'll manage to collect every badge before the deadline. Maybe I'll even have time to finish my trip."

He said goodbye to everyone, along with Leaf, who convinced him to come with him, but they didn't wait for Brock to speak.

"Could I go with you?"

This took everyone even more by surprise, and they looked at each other, trying to figure out why he wanted to go with Robert and Leaf.

"I haven't done anything significant these days. If I want to be a Pokémon Doctor, I must learn more, and if I go to Pallet Town, I'll be able to be close to Professor Oak. I don't want to upset you, Ash. I just want to be better so I can." Help them_

He explained with a sad face, he seemed sad and upset since he didn't want to let anyone down, but Ash approached and patted him on the back, which made him look at him with an incredulous look.

Is that all you were nervous about? You shouldn't have worried. If you want to be better, I can't force you to stay. Although I'm going to miss you, I hope you do everything you need to fulfill your dream._

Brock nodded, very happy to have found a friend like Ash, and hugged him tightly as he returned the gesture.

X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X=X

15,000 words. I wrote a little more because I neglected them quite a bit. I'll continue to upload chapters at a time, so it will take a while to finish this story. But thank you for following and reading it.

The characters are interacting better and better with each other, and their development feels organic.

I hope to continue this same pace forever and reach everyone who loves Pokémon and Ash.
