pokemon Fighting Dreamers

"It was 14 years ago, Dawn was barely 3... Mitsumi, my first daugther, was 12 at the time, she had started her own Journey in the Sinnoh Region, she called us all the time, it seemed like she was doing great, but... after some time, the calls stopped being frequent, we went from 10 calls a week to one if we were lucky, my husband, Makoto... he knew something was up, but I tried to ignore it, "She's just having fun", I said... one day she returned home... she looked like she had been running for days, she was crying, she looked so scared, we tried to talk with her and that was when it happened, somebody brought down the front door... Mitsumi had joined Team Galactic, it seemed like she betrayed them, they didn't stop calling her "Traitor", they wanted revenge and came after her, Dawn was sleeping in her room so Makoto told me to run upstairs and go with her, while Mitsumi and him took the fight outside, I locked myself with Dawn in her room and I saw the rest of the fight from the window, it seemed like between the two they could make it work, they had always been great at tag battles, but of course Team Galactic doesn't play fair... A Toxicroak aimed with a Poison Jab at Mitsumi and... and Makoto stood in the way... A Poison Jab right into his heart... he died right there trying to protect her, at least the medics told me he didn't suffer... I guess seing him dead made the Grunts stutter, they all stopped for a moment and Mitsumi's Infernape defeated all of their Pokemon they had so they retreated. Dawn was still sleeping after all that, I ran outside hoping I could do something, but Makoto was already gone... I... I didn't even let Mitsumi explain, she told it was all her fault and I... I told her to leave and never come back... and she did so..."

"Miss Johanna..." Akari looked at her in silence for a moment. "I'm really sorry about your loss, I admit you had the right to be angry, but I feel like Mitsumi deserved the chance to explain herself.

"I know." Johanna sighed. "But put yourself in my shoes, Akari, I lost the love of my life and Dawn could've been in danger too."

"And... what about that earring?"

"Ah, yes..."

"You want me to leave?" Mitsumi asked.

"I wont tell you again!" Johanna shouted.

"B-But Dad-"

"Get away from him!" Johanna shouted again seeing how Mitsumi was trying to approach him. "You... You did this!"

"But Team Galactic-"

"I don't care if it was Team Galactic, they were because of you! He was protecting you! He died because of you! You killed him!"

"Fernape!" Mitsumi's ace shouted.

"No... she's right." Mitsumi stopped him. "This... this is all my fault... I'll be on my own if that's what you want... but I... I was making something for you." She said pulling out a small box off her pocket and then openeing it to show a pair of golden earrings. "I wanted to give you this as a birthday gift... it's a communicator, for emergencies, so, even if things are going to be like this from now on, no matter what. I promise you, if you need us, if you need me, I'll be there."

"..." Johanna simply stared at the earring for a moment and then continued to sit by the side of the corpse of her husband.

"..." Mitsumi did her best to hold back her tears and left the earring softly in the grass. "...Please tell Dawn that I love her."

"...You better don't dare get close to her ever again." Johanna said under her breath as Mitsumi clenched her fists and ran away with her Infernape following her.

"And I never told Dawn about her." Johanna said. "The fact that she was so young thankfully helped with that."

"And I why did you keep the earrings?" Akari asked.

"I actually threw them away the same day... but I took them back the following, she was still my daugther, I thought I should do that at least, I've been close to calling her many times, but I never managed to build up the courage to do it until now... It's hard to admit, but I know that I failed her too, I should have known something was happening with her, but I can't change the past, neither can she... Dawn used to have some fuzzy memories about her, but... since she never returned she simply thinks she was a friend of the town who moved away, Dawn doesn't even remember her name. And when she first mentioned her encounters with Team Galactic, I acted like I didn't know anything, I thought that would be for the better... but even then, I feel like what happened played a part in why Dawn got along so well with you, in why she insisted so much in helping you, maybe she's been missing her sister and you filled that spot for her... when Danika came and attacked us in our home, all I could think was about that one time when Team Galactic came, when I lost half of my family, it was like I was living it all again... but I couldn't do anything, I failed my family again."

"If Dawn doesn't know about anything of that, how does she think her father died?"

"Attacked by a wild Pokemon, that was all I could tell her and the rest of the people in the Town." Johanna said. "Altough some of my close friends in the Town know what truly happened, but they promised to keep the secret from Dawn."

"So... when Mitsumi comes and rescue us, if she suceeds, will she tell Dawn the true?" Akari asked.

"I honestly don't know, she's been keeping herself away from Dawn so far and I... I honestly have no idea how any of them will react when they meet again."

"Well... When she looked at me and she thought I was Dawn, Mitsumi surely looked happy for an instant."

"Yeah... she kinda did." Johanna said. "Mitsumi really loved Dawn, she spent whole days by her side before starting her journey... I can only hope Dawn will forgive me for lying to her."

"And what about you?" Akari asked. "Do you think you'll get to forgive Mitsumi?"

"...I guess only time will tell."

Meanwhile in another cell in the higher floors.

"Break you down! Break you down! Break you down!" Angie shouted while repeatedly punching a glass cell where she being held along her group."You staaaaaand in the waaaaaaay!"

"Angie, could you stop that?" Regina asked, sitting next to Ursula in the floor of the cell. "We're trying to think of a solution to this."

"I'd also be thankful if all of you shut up." Horace said while fixing the rest of the cells.

"Don't you lecture me with your 30 Pokedollar sweater!" Angie shouted punching the glass again. "That thing looks horrible!"

"Just stop that, before you get hurt." Dawn said. "From what the info that Chloe sent us these cells were designed to keep people with powers from escaping, so obviously no one like us could get out."

"Well, that shouldn't matter." Ursula said. "The Dawn I know has showed me several times that she doesn't just give up."

"There's a difference between giving up and knowing when it's over." Dawn replied. "...I can only hope Chloe will make her way out of this."

"Well, I'm sorry to tell you that she won't." Horace told her. "Just think about it for a second, what is a girl who doesn't even know how to do Pokemon battles supposed to do against three chasers?"

Meanwhile with Ash.

"Palpitoad, Hydro Pump!" Ash ordered and his Pokemon shot out a huge stream of water knocking out Flannery's Chandelure.

"Talonflame, Brave Bird!" The Kalos bird descended from the skies defeating Gloria's Volcarona.

"Sceptile, Leaf Blade!" The gecko attacked with a crossed double slash and knocked out Peonia's Carracosta.

"Incineroar, Fire Blast!" He continued and the tiger expelled the attack from his belt, knocking out Acerola's Gengar.

"Snorlax, Hyper Beam!" Snorlax shot the move from his mouth defeating Bea's Braviary.

"I think that's that." Ash yawned after a long training session with the girls. "It's almost midnight already, can we go to sleep?"

"Sorry, but we have to make sure you're ready for the battles tomorrow." Selene said.

"Oh! Here, I think I got an idea to wake you up." Skyla suddenly took one of Ash's hands and brought it to one of her breasts. "How's that?"

"Skyla…" A blushing Ash smiled, but before he could say anything else Flannery approached the two and did exactly the same with Ash's free hand. "Flannery?"

"Hey! If she can do that then so can I!" Flannery said. "Besides, mine are more firm!"

"And mine are bouncier!" Skyla answered.

"Mine are more shapely!"

"And mine are bigger!"

"Ash! Which one do you prefer?" They both asked, Ash simply took a deep breath before squeezing both breasts, causing the girls to blush even more.

"Both… both is good." Ash told them and Skyla and Flannery made some smug smiles, satisfied with both the answer and with Ash's actions.

"Yup, these two will get along real well." Bea said.

"Hey, I'm here too!" Mallow said bringing Ash's face to her breasts.

"That's enough y'all." Selene said pulling Ash away from the three.

"Yeah! Small boobs are great too!" Gloria said. "Isn't that right, Nia?"

"Hey! Mine are a fair medium!" Peonia shouted.

"Small Boobs for the win!" Lana shouted. "Although Mallow's jugs were pretty tasty."

"Yeah! Small boobs!" Acerola joined them. "At least until I have kids."

"Not my point." Selene answered.

"Well, I think Ash is right about the other topic, though." Lillie replied. "He has trained enough, it's already late night and all of that effort will be worthless if he ends up falling asleep mid-battle.

"Thank you, Lillie." Ash said yawning. "Where are Nessa and Korrina, by the way?"

"Korrina's still working on your gift, it seems." Flannery said. "She's in the room you gave to her, you should've looked at her, she brought all her tools and everything, she's really focused."

"As for Nessa, remember that last night I took our shared turn alone, so she'll be sleeping alone with you tonight, she must be in your room already." Bea said.

"ASH!"

"BEA!"

"AH?!" The two shouted.

"Uh, what's the matter?" Acerola asked.

"Zacian?" Bea asked.

"Zamazenta?" Ash asked as well, the two then put their hands together so they could talk with both Legendaries at the same time.

"What's going on?" Lillie asked.

"Something Legendary Pokemon something telepathy." Peonia answered.

"Are you guys okay?" Zacian asked.

"We sensed a big Dynamax wave coming from Alola, you guys are there, right?" Zacian asked.

"We are; and don't worry, we're fine." Ash answered.

"I guess you're referring to when Ash's Melmetal Gigantamaxed." Bea said. "It was some days ago."

"Seems like that was it." Zacian answered. "Excuse the late notice, but we've been spending some days in the Hall of Origins and we had to wait to return to our Altar to contact you."

"How's everything in Galar by the way?" Ash asked. "It's been a few weeks since we left."

"Everything is under control for now." Zacian asked. "I'd like to ask you two to return now-"

"BUT we know you have your own life, so we won't do that, right, Zacian?"Zamazenta interrupted.

"Right, whatever." Zacian said.

"Still, we'll be waiting anxious for your return." Zamazenta said.

"Either way, that little false alarm reminded us that we've wanting to give you two some gifts."After Zacian said this, a white light appeared in front of Ash and Bea revealing two split-colored red and blue Dynamax Bands. "We made this for you."

"New Dynamax bands?" Ash asked.

"Improved versions."Zamazenta said. "We've been working on them ever since I helped you Gigantamax your Pikachu in your fight with Milo."

"These ones don't need to recharge and should be able to work wherever you are." Zacian said. "We hope it helps you in case the Lightbane return."

"Nevertheless, they're still limited to three moves, the Dynamax Energy hasn't stopped growing and we wouldn't want it to overload or something like that." Zamazenta said. "Also, remember that we still need to find our sacred objects. The destiny of Galar, and the whole world for that matter, is still in your hands."

"Tell me something new." Ash sighed.

"Guess that's all for today." Zamazenta said before cutting the call. "We'll be in contact."

"Uh, you're back with us already?" Selene asked.

"Yeah, sorry, we just had a call." Ash answered.

"Zacian and Zamazenta gave us this." Bea said showing the bands. "They said these are improved Dynamax Bands."

"Well, I've never seen Dynamax Bands like these." Nessa said.

"But they'll sure come in handy for the battles tomorrow." Gloria said. "Now you're totally ready for them."

"Just one more thing." Peonia said. "Listen, Ash, between six Elite Four Battles and a champion one, you'll have to use a total of 30 Pokemon against all of them, so I made a little chart for you, signaling what kind of Pokemon would be the best to use in each possible scenario. I know you don't usually like to stick to plans when it comes to battles, but I'd appreciate it if you give it a look. I'll send it to your Rotom Phone."

"Thanks a lot, Nia." Ash answered with another yawn. "I'll check it out when I can. I'm going to sleep now so-" Ash was interrupted by a group hug of all the present girls and he simply smiled feeling all that warm love.

"Hey, Bea! I just remembered something." Flannery said. "Do you still have that cheerleader outfit that Dawn gave you? Cause I brought mine."

"You gotta be kidding." Bea sighed. "Yes, I still have it."

A few moments later.

"Ash! Glad you finally came by, listen I brought-" Nessa was interrupted by a hug from her boyfriend as Ash rested his face on her breasts.

"Nessa, I'm sorry, but I'm really tired, can we just sleep for now?" He asked.

"Uh, s-sure, you do look tired." Nessa agreed to then guide him to bed.

"Thank you." Ash kissed her cheek before dropping in bed exhausted.

"Hmm... okay then, guess I can wait." Nessa said taking off Ash's clothes and leaving him only with his shirt and boxers so he could sleep better, she then kissed his forehead and slept next to him.

...

Here we go Dibidi ba didi dou dou Di ba didi dou

A few hours later.

"Ash? ...Hey, Ash, wake up... Ash... You're gonna be late for the battles."

"I'M WHAT?!" Ash shouted waking up and then looking around to see he was alone in bed. "Uh, Nessa?"

"I'm in the bathroom." She answered from behind the door.

"I... It's not late, is it?" Ash asked.

"Nope."

"...Listen, I'm really sorry about ignoring you a moment ago, but I was seriously tired." Ash said. "And I'm honestly worried about this whole thing, I mean, apparently if I lose I won't be champion anymore so-"

"Hey, it's fine, I get it." Nessa interrupted. "You're always under so much pressure, especially after you started dating us all, you deserve all the breaks you can get." Nessa then walked out of the bathroom and stood up next to the bed so Ash could take a good look of her, she was wearing a classic Playboy bunny outfit, this being a strapless black thong leotard that showed quite some cleavage, along with high heels, a white detached collar with a blue bowtie, white wrist cuffs and black bunny ears in her head. "That's why this bunny girl has come to service her master."

"Oh..." Ash stared at her for a moment as he processsed the situation. "So, when you asked me if I preferred maids or bunny girls-"

"Yup, I've had this in my luggage for a while and now that we're alone I finally get a chance to try it out." Nessa said sticking out her tongue to then sit in the edge of the bed, with Ash sitting by her side shortly afterwards. "But I thought I should at least give you some hours of sleep before getting to it... can I?" She asked pointing at the bulge in his boxers.

"Actually, I think I'm going back to sleep." Ash answered. "I'm still a bit tired."

"Are you serious?!" Nessa shouted.

"Of course not!" Ash smiled before grabbing her face and taking her into a deep kiss. "You look amazing in that... So you've had this outfit for a while or you bought it recently?"

"I might have bought shortly after we met." Nessa answered. "Am I a naughty girl, Master?"

"Y-You don't have to call me that." He stuttered.

"It's just a little pet name, don't be embarassed."

"Hey, I'm not embarassed. Ash answered.

"Prove it." Nessa teased him massaging his bulge while Ash lowered her cleavage so he could free her breasts, they were smaller than Skyla's and Flannery's, but quite bigger than Bea's. Ash didn't even hesitate and took her left nipple inside his mouth to start sucking while his fingers toyed with her right nipple, Nessa let out a short moan and a wide smile as she pulled her boyfriend closer to her while playing with his hair, Nessa then reached for Ash's boxers and pulled them down to reveal his dick, Nessa bit her lips in anticipation and quickly started masturbating Ash, who gave her left nipple a small bite in response. "Good boy..." Nessa whispered while she masturbated him faster and made sure that Ash would stay focusing on her breasts, pulling him out for a moment only to guide her to her right nipple, which he happily took in his mouth as well.

"N-Nessa-" He stopped for a moment, but Nessa quickly silenced him with a kiss as she continued masturbating him, leading Ash to cum shortly afterwards, but Nessa covered the tip just last second to make sure most of the load ended in the palm of her hand, while also squeezing Ash's dick slightly, getting him to moan into her mouth, Nessa then finally let go off him and Ash dropped in bed to try and regain some air, while Nessa simply licked clean her hand as she played with her nipples, staring at her boyfriend and happy to see him panting because of her.

"Guess I'll have to clean you too." Nessa sat next to Ash and started masturbating him again, but she quickly stopped, Ash was about to ask why, but Nessa suddenly sat on his chest facing away from him. "You tried some things with Bea so I'd like to play too." Nessa giggled and lifted herself a bit, she then moved to the side the thong of her outfit, giving Ash a clear view of her wetness and then approached her entrance to Ash's mouth, she looked down to him, apparently for approbation and all Ash could do was blush and nod, Nessa softly sat on his face and Ash started licking her immediately, while Nessa lined up with Ash's cock and gave it a few licks and once it was completely clean from the first load, Nessa took his length inside her mouth and started sucking and licking around it, Ash then moved his hands to Nessa's ass and started groping it while he continued to lick her pussy, much to the joy of Nessa herself who kept giving his dick all the attention she could, taking it out of her mouth only to kiss it and masturbate to then swallow it again.

After a few minutes, Nessa felt Ash tapping soflty her ass cheeks, she understood this as a sign and took almost his whole length deep in her mouth, letting him release his cum inside of her throat as she continued to swallow the whole thing, the stimulation was enough for Ash to speed up and helped Nessa reach her orgasm all over his face. "Huff... t-t-that's the good stuff." Nessa panted, while giving some more kisses to Ash's dick before getting off him to lay by his side, with Ash finally getting back the chance to talk and breathe from his mouth again. "All okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Ash said taking a deep breath, Nessa gave him another deep lip kiss only to position herself above him again, but time face to face as she aligned herself with his dick.

"I'll take care of this one."

"Just take it easy." Ash told her and Nessa continued to kiss him while moving her hand to his dick again, she guided the tip inside of her and both of them made a small grunt in response.

"Ash."

"Y-Yeah?"

"I love you." She smirked at him and this time Ash was the one to kiss her as she slowly descended her hips letting him take her virginity as well, the two continued the kissing session until Ash's whole length was inside of her. "T-That actually didn't hurt at all. Guess your magic tongue loosened me up."

"That's good to hear." Ash smiled as Nessa sat on his lap, both of them took a look at their current connection and Nessa made another wide smile and then massaged Ash's stomach.

"We're finally one." She said. "Now, we're doing this little session to give you luck in your battles, okay?"

"Heh, then give me all the luck you have." Ash answered grabbing both of her breasts with his hands. "I'm honestly gonna need it."

"Sure thing, now you're gonna see this outfit ain't just for a show." Nessa started moving her hips slowly, getting as adjusted as she could to Ash's size while he continued to tease her playing with her nipples. She bended towards him a little and began moving her hips up and down more quickly, making sure his dick stayed inside her the whole time, as she continued riding him, Nessa moved her hands to Ash's wrists, keeping his hands playing with her nipples, pinching them, as well as massaging her full breasts, with all that stimulation Nessa quickly reached another climax and stopped moving for a moment in order to get a quick rest while she panted, but Ash took the opportunity to bring her down and trap her with a hug, the two were face to face again and Nessa landed another soft lip kiss, but just the second after, Ash made a big thrust inside of her, Nessa quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from the biggest moan she ever felt, but that didn't stop her from shiver in Ash's arms and hide her embarassed face on his shoulder.

"AH! S-Sorry! Was that too much?" A worried Ash asked.

"N-No, just a bit unexpected." Nessa said. "Go ahead, I already had my turn, use me all you want." She added giving him another lip kiss, while Ash restarted the thrusts, honestly aroused of hearing his girls telling him such things. "Hey, am I tighter than Bea?"

"Don't start with that." Ash let out a laugh to then speed up his thrusts.

"I-I thought, hah, I thought you said we were gonna take it easy." Nessa grinned lost in pleasure while Ash continued to pump in and out of her, at the same time that he filled her mouth, face and neck with kisses, with one hand still around her back to keep her close to him, while the other hand was down in her ass helping with the motion while getting one finger just slightly inside Nessa's ass.

"W-We'll try that next time, okay?" She stuttered. "I'm honestly almost at my limit."

"I'm too... hah, here goes." Ash hugged her with both arms as he gave the final pushes, letting his load flow inside of Nessa, with both joining for yet another kiss as they kept moving their hips for a few more seconds, ensuring Nessa recieved all that Ash had for her. The boyfriend then pulled himself out and Nessa laid by his side, closing her legs in an effort to keep her lover's seed inside of her.

"This is all mine... Bea's right... y-you gift a lot." Nessa said between pants. "T-That was the greatest experience in my life, but I'm sorry, I-I-I can't take anymore...Bea surely has more stamina than me."

"I wouldn't mind using you for the rest of the night while you simply lay there." Ash answered kissing her forehead making her blush to her limit, both by the action and by the way he said that sentence.

"Well, you definitely seem more confident than what Bea told me." Nessa smiled.

"Yeah, I guess experience is... W-Wait, Nessa, I just came inside you!"

"I'm in the pill too, calm down." Nessa laughed at him. "Fine then, let's take a bath and get some more sleep."

"Maybe I should just stay awake already, I really don't wanna be late."

"Don't worry about that, I'll wake you up with a blowjob."

"Nessa-"

"I already said it, you're not gonna stop me."

That's it, fellas.

A few hours later in the Alolan Stadium.

"Fine then, is everyone here?" Bea asked as the group of nine girlfriends accompanied by Flannery, Selene and Pikachu all sat together in two of the front rows of the stands, both Flannery and Bea had their cheerleader outfits, while the rest of the girls simply got some pompons that Acerola and Gloria made together.

"Huh, Korrina's missing, right?" Skyla asked.

"She said she still needs more time to get Ash's Key Stone ready." Flannery answered. "She went back to the mansion, she'll be watching the first fights in TV, hopefully she'll get it done before this thing ends."

"Welcome aboard the train without track, everyone!" The announcer of the battle shouted. "Guess who's gonna be narrating these crazy battles. It's-a-me! Dahlia Bushnell! Sent directly from my Battle Arcade to boost you up!"

"Hey, what are you doing here? The announcer spot is a sacred space." The actual announcer said.

"Sorry man, but these vacations have been really boring, I'm already here and I ain't going anywhere!" Dahlia answered covering her microphone.

"So here's the thing, people!" She continued shouting while the announcer simply sat in the chair next to her. "For those who missed it, Ash Ketchum will have to defeat 6 members of different Elite Fours in a row, each of them representing the regions Ash has Travelled in, Lorelei Prima for Kanto, Karen Yuzuki for Johto, Juan Adán Galano de Costa Brava Cortez for Hoenn, Bertha Zutto for Sinnoh, Marshall Reich for Unova and Drasna Caena Moore for Kalos! If Ash defeats them all then he'll have to fight with one of the champions present here, who will be randomly selected between Lance, Cynthia, Iris and Diantha!"

.

As Dahlia gave the explanations, the Elite Four members and Champions mentioned all took their seats in the VIP section with the exception of Lorelei who was already walking to the battlefield as she was the first in line.

"Do you really think Ash will get through all this?" Lance said to Goodshow. "I mean, don't you feel like the tasks are a bit too much?"

"If they're too much then maybe we're just wrong about Ash." Goodshow said.

"Lance has a point though." Diantha added. "Normal challengers only have to face, well, Elite Four, but you'll make him fight six?"

"You're all worrying too much." Cynthia said. "I'm confident he can make it, Ash has handled worse than that, tell them, Iris."

"Don't bring me into this! That kid isn't my problem anymore!" Iris complained. "Isn't that right, Clair?"

"Sssh, the battle is about to begin." Clair answered.

"Don't tell me you're interested in this now!" Iris shouted.

"O-Of course not!" Clair answered. "I-I just can't wait to see Lorelei pummeling him, that's all!"

"Hey, don't worry, kid's tough, I'm sure he'll be fine." Karen said.

"I still feel like seven consecutive battles is just a tad bit much." Bertha said.

"He better makes his way to me at least." Juan said. "Because otherwise that would mean I came here for nothing."

"Well, of course I want to fight him too, but I wouldn't mind if he doesn't get to me." Drasna said. "I came to Alola mostly to have vacation with my family here."

"What's with everyone taking vacations in this region?" Marshall asked. "Grimsley, Caitlin and Shauntal all came here and left me all alone with the responsabilities of the Unova Elite Four. This is ridiculous."

.

"If Ash completes all these tasks then he'll finally be recognized as a full-fledged champion! And remember each trainer is limited to one gimmick per battle, lastly, like I told you, I'll boost this up!" Dahlia said pulling out a small red-blue roulette. "My little friend here will apply a random condition at the start of each battle, only way to know what will happen is trying it out!" Dahlia cracked her fingers and rolled the roulette, with it ending in a slot with an ice symbol.

"And it's an Ice Battlefield!" Dahlia exclaimed as the field was changed into an icy one with several ice pillars around it. "Looks like someone is seriously out of luck, don't wanna bring any names, ASH! But give it your all, kid!" She laughed as Ash and Lorelei walked to their spots in the scene.

"Oh my gosh, it's happening!" Elaine said running into the stands where the girlfriends were, with Mina walking behind her. "Did we miss anything?"

"Don't worry, it's just about to start." Nessa said.

"Oh, thank god, I just saw what was happening in the news and we had to get here." Elaine said.

"And we didn't even miss the first battle with Lorelei." Mina said. "That's great, you need to see her style in person if you ever want to become the Kanto champion."

"Y-You're right..." Elaine nodded setting her sight in the battlefield. "You can do it, brother!"

"Brother?!" Flannery and Lillie shouted.

"Right, uh, we forgot to tell you that part." Bea said.

"Trainers, release your first Pokemon!" Kukui said acting as the referee once Ash and Lorelei were in position.

"Cufant, I choose you!" Ash exclaimed releasing the elephant.

"Let's do it, Slowbro!" Lorelei released her first Pokemon as well. "Not what you expected, huh?" She asked to Ash.

"You aren't the first to pull something like that on me." Ash said.

"We'll see about that." She said adjusting her glasses. "It's been some time since we first met and we had our little battle, you really think you've grown strong enough to overcome me?"

"Yup, I think so, actually." Ash replied.

"That's what I like to hear." Lorelei smiled.

"If both trainers are ready then the battle begins now!" Dahlia exclaimed.

"Hey! You're not the referee!" Kukui complained. "Argh, begin!"

"Cufant, Power Whip!" Ash gave the first order and the Elephant rushed towards Slowbro as his trunk shined with green light.

"Dynamic Punch!" Lorelei answered and Slowbro prepared the attack charging energy in his fist while he stood still and waited until Cufant was close enough, Cufant then raised his trunk and front legs to attack and Slowbro quickly took the chance to punch him right on the stomach and sent him flying back. "Now Razor Shell!" Slowbro laid down in four legs and then raised his tail, the Shellder on it began to spin as he glowed light blue and suddenly shot himself as a rocket out of Slowbro's tail to then fly towards Cufant and impact him in a drilling motion several times.

"Steel Beam!" Cufant fired off the silver ray from his trunk, but the Shellder propelled itself away and avoided it to then attach itself back to Slowbro's tail. "Steel Roller!" Cufant jumped and curled himself into a ball, rolling at high speed towards Slowbro.

"Dynamic Punch!" Slowbro once again prepared his fist and stopped Cufant's roll without much effort, pushing him back once again.

"Lorelei is showing Ash what a true Elite battle feels like!" Dahlia exclaimed. "Our boy simply can't find an opening!"

'Coming to think about it... this is my first actual battle against an Elite Four.' Ash thought. 'And Miss Agatha was pretty strong on her own, we honestly lucked out with that evolution... Cufant, return!" He exclaimed recalling him and changing Poke Balls.

"Don't tell me I scared you, little man." Lorelei said.

"Don't worry, he'll just take a rest." Ash answered. "But I brought reinforcements. Bulbasaur, I choose you!"

"This will be fun... Psyshock!" Lorelei ordered and Slowbro shot two pink rays from his eyes.

"Use Dig!" Bulbasaur dove down in the ice and buried himself to avoid the hit and then reemerge next to Slowbro tackling him down.

"Ice Beam!"

"Power Whip!"

Slowbro fired off the move from his mouth while Bulbasaur quickly dug both his vines into the ice beneath and flipped a part of it to use as a shield, Bulbasaur then extended his whips and smacked Slowbro several times, but Slowbro eventually grabbed both vines with his arms and stopped Bulbasaur's attack to then toss him a round and smack him against one of the ice pillars in the battlefield, breaking it down upon impact. "Psyshock!" While Bulbasaur was recovering and trying to stand up from the rubble, Slowbro shot two pink rays from his eyes again, this time landing a clean hit on Bulbasaur. "Dynamic Punch!"

"Sludge Bomb!"

While Slowbro was running towards him, Bulbasaur shot from his mouth several blobs of purple poison to Slowbro's face, damaging him, blocking his vision, causing him to miss the attack as Bulbasaur jumped away to avoid him.

"Solar Beam!" Bulbasaur gathered light with the bulb on his back and then fired a huge green beam from it, knocking down Slowbro.

"Razor Shell!" While Slowbro was laying down with difficulty to stand up, the Shellder from his tail shoot itself as a rocket again aiming at Bulbasaur.

"Use Dig!" Ash ordered and Bulbasaur went underground, but the flying Shellder drilled into the same hole to follow him.

"You're not going to run away from this one!" Lorelei said.

"We're not trying to do that, Lori." Ash answered.

"What did I tell you?!" Lorelei shouted blushing.

"Do it now, Bulbasaur!" Ash shouted and Bulbasaur emerged from the ice, tackling Slowbro and then using his vines to toss him to the hole from where he just came out, right at the same moment that Shellder emerged from the hole as well, causing him to attack his partner with his Razor Shell attack, knocking Slowbro out completely.

"Slowbro is unable to battle! Bulbasaur is the winner!" Kukui said. The Shellder looked around for a moment and then slowly attached itself to Slowbro's tail again faking to be fainted as well.

"That's they call 'stop hitting yourself', right?" Dahlia asked getting some laughs from the crowd. "YES! I'll be here all day!"

"Ah, yes, that's some Ash Ketchum type of strategy right there." Lorelei sighed returning Slowbro. "You're next, Cloyster!" She released the clam who was shut closed and then opened itself to show his smirk.

"Oh, I remember you. Power Whip!" Bulbasaur attacked with both vines, but Cloyster closed himself again and blocked the move.

"Fine, if he's gonna stay there then Solar Beam!" Ash ordered and Bulbasaur started gathering light.

"Shell Smash!" Lorelei replied and while Bulbasaur was preparing himself, Cloyster was surrounded in white energy that suddenly cracked into pieces, Bulbasaur then fired off his Solar Beam, but Cloyster avoided it showcasing his new high speed.

"And there it is! Cloyster has boosted Speed and Attack while sacrificing some defense!" Dahlia said.

"A bit more than that actually." Lorelei smiled and Cloyster opened his mouth to reveal a small white feather inside of it which he then swallowed, making him shine for a brief moment. "That was a White Herb, it negates any lowered stat, reverting it back to normal."

"Situation just got a bit bad." Ash said under his breath.

"Icicle Spear!" Cloyster laughed before releasing several spear-shaped ice crystals and sending them flying to Bulbasaur, but the starter managed to avoid them all while he ran towards Cloyster.

"Sludge Bomb!"

"Smart Strike!" Cloyster made a sudden dash as his horn illuminated with silver light and then used it to stab Bulbasaur in his stomach, making him fall to the battlefield again, but Bulbasaur still managed to throw a Sludge Bomb at Cloyster's face.

"Power Whip!" He continued and Bulbasaur managed to land some hits in Cloyster's face, but Cloyster dashed away from him afterwards. "Use Dig!" Bulbasaur went under the ice again.

"Go for Brine and then Icicle Spear!" Cloyster surprisingly made both moves simultaneously firing a stream of salty water form his mouth as well as releasing the ice crystals, all of that aiming at the hole that Bulbasaur had made and causing a small icy explosion.

"Bulbasaur!" Ash shouted seeing how the starter didn't come out after those attacks.

"Looks like we got you." Lorelei said. "Smart Strike, please." Cloyster dove down in the ice using his horn to break it and eventually sending up a chunk of ice which had Bulbasaur frozen inside of it.

"What the-"

"Icicle Spear!" Cloyster show upwards the crystals while Bulbasaur fell and caused another explosion, setting Bulbasaur free from the ice, but also defeating him before he hit the ground.

"Bulbasaur is unable to battle! Cloyster is the winner!" Kukui said.

"Hahaha, you weren't ready for that, huh?" Lorelei asked. "A Frozen-solid Pokemon all at my mercy, classic me."

"Thanks, you did great." Ash said recalling Bulbasaur. "Squirtle, I choose you!" He shouted calling upon the turtle, who was wearing his trademark glasses and jacket, but then tossed them both to Ash. "Guess you don't want them to break like Krookodile's, huh?"

"Cloyster and Squirtle! Knock knock! You're about to get Shell-shocked!" Dahlia sang out loud.

"Please, just leave." The announcer said.

"Hydro Pump!" Ash ordered and Squirtle retreated into his shell as he spun around and fired off many blasts of water from the holes of his shell. Cloyster hid himself in his own shell to block the attack, but Squirtle continue to spin and the water whips were eventually enough to knock Cloyster down.

"Argh, Icicle Spear!"

"Gyro Ball!" Squirtle spun hiding in his shell again, but this time the whole shell turned silver, helping him break through the ice and land a clean on Cloyster's face.

"We need more speed, Shell Smash again!" Cloyster repeated the move, shattering his defenses to boost Attack and Speed even more, but this time without the White Herb to recover defenses.

"Not a good idea from Lorelei." Nessa smiled in the stands remembering her Gym battle against Ash.

"Kick her ass!" Flannery shouted doing some of the dance moves that Dawn taught her along with her Chandelure, while Bea limited herself to simply cheer with the pompoms along the rest of the girls.

"Yup, he learned from the best." Gary said from his side of the stands seeing how Ash had his own crowd of cheerleaders now.

"The fact that you're making your 'I'm proud of you' expression only because of that really says a lot." Leaf told him.

"Smart Strike!"

"Skull Bash!" Squirtle became surrounded in white energy as he made his move, managing to outpower Cloyster and push him away. "Aura Sphere!" Squirtle jumped in the air and raised both arms forming an orange sphere of energy and tossing it to Cloyster who blocked it with his shell but still recieved damage from the attack.

"That made quite a scratch... You ready for a new sound, Squirtle?" Ash asked and the turle nodded. "Follow my lead!" Ash took out a Fightinium-Z and activated it on his Z-Ring, making the corresponding poses which were followed by Squirtle as they built-up their power.

"So that's how you want to play." Lorelei said, pulling out her own Z-Ring and activating it along a Icium-Z. "Subzero Slammer!" She shouted making the corresponding pose as well, while Cloyster shot several white icy beams from his spikes and horn.

"All-Out Pummeling!" Ash shouted and Squirtle hid on his shell to then quickly start spinning sending various orange energy waves with the shape of punches and kicks that broke thought the ice beams and continued to fly towards Cloyster, hitting him all at once and causing a massive explosion. "Gyro Ball!"

"Smart Strike!"

Both attacks met, but after receiving the Z-Move directly, Cloyster had not much strength and Squirtle managed to push him away. "Aura Sphere!" Squirtle rolled towards Cloyster and ade the move at close range, sending Cloyster Cloyster flying onto a wall and defeating him.

"Cloyster is unable to battle! Squirtle is the winner!"

"There, I didn't know you also had a Z-Ring." Ash said.

"What can I say? This ain't the first time I visit this place." Lorelei replied while recalling Cloyster. "You're next, Jynx!"

"Let's keep going! Aura Sphere!"

"Then Energy Ball!" Lorelei said.

Squirtle tossed the sphere, but Jynx quickly dodged it and tossed the Energy Ball from her hand and knocked down Squirtle.

"Hydro Pump!" Squirtle spun in the ground while using the attack, but when it hit Jynx, it didn't affect her at all.

"Dry Skin." Lorelei grinned.

"Yup, not a fan of that Ability." Ash answered thinking about his fight with Saturn.

"Use Lovely Kiss!" Jynx blew a pink kiss that flew towards Squirtle.

"Hmmp, Squirtle, return!" Ash said recalling him before the kiss could hit. "Cufant, I choose you!"

"Little Dumbo is back!" Dahlia said.

"Lovely Kiss again!"

"Use Stell Roller to dodge it!" Cufant curled himself into a ball and rolled avoiding the kiss to then tackle Jynx pushing her into a wall.

"Lovely kiss!"

"Power Whip!"

Jynx tried to go for a direct kiss since Cufant was right in front of her but the elephant smacked his trunk against her face several times and stopped her.

"Fine then, Psycho Cut!" Jynx swung her hair around and several pink blades of energy were sent flying from it, all of them hitting Cufant spot-on and pushing away again. "Now Blizzard!" Jynx pushed her hands forwards and summoned a huge blizzard from behind her that started to freeze Cufant solid.

"Steel Beam!" With a trumpeting sound, Cufant managed to shot the move from his trunk and impact Jynx, making her interrupt the Blizzard, the elephant then broke the ice around him with the shovel on his trunk. "Steel Roller!"

"Psycho Cut!"

Cufant went on with his attack and broke through the blades to then tackle down Jynx to a wall and knock her out.

"Jynx is unable to battle! Cufant is the winner!"

"Great job!" Ash said while Cufant smiled.

"What do you know, people?" Dahlia asked. "Ash may have started this battle with the wrong foot, but now he got Lorelei cornered 3 to 1, will she able of making it out of this?"

"Well, here comes my last stand. Let's do it, Lapras!" Lorelei released her last Pokemon, who noticing the ice beneath began to slide around the battlefield, showcasing quite some speed and agility despite her size. "This will be fun. Hydro Pump!"

"Dodge with Steel Roller!" Ash ordered, but Cufant stood still and recieved the hit instead, Cufant was knocked back by it and then tried to stand up, but he began snoring and eventually fell asleep.

"Cufant!" Ash shouted.

"Oh-oh! Looks like Jynx took a chance before the final hit and finally landed a Lovely Kiss!" Dahlia said.

"Thunderbolt!" Lapras released the attack from her horn and landed another clean hit on the sleeping Cufant, knocking him out completely.

"Cufant is unable to battle! Lapras is the winner!" Kukui said.

"And Dumbo is out! But to be fair he took quite the beating from Slowbro and Jynx." Dahlia said while Ash returned Cufant.

"Squirtle, I choose you!"

"Thunderbolt!"

"Gyro Ball!" Squirtle started to spin around and avoided the thunder to then approach Lapras at high speed.

"Hydro Pump!" Lapras shot the stream of water, but Squirtle dodged it and continued to spin around her, hitting Lapras with the Gyro Ball several times.

"How does he know where he's going if his head is inside the shell?" Dahlia asked. "I don't know, but I love it!"

"Use Thunderbolt while he's close!"

"Aura Sphere!" Squirtle came out of his shell and tossed the sphere at Lapras' chin, making her miss the Thunderbolt.

"Hydro Pump!" Squirtle went back to his shell and used the attack, but once again this seemed to have no effect on the opposing Pokemon.

"Water Absorb." Lorelei grinned again.

"You gotta be kidding me." Ash said while Squirtle facepalmed.

"Well, I say we dance then!" Lorelei shouted and Lapras smiled before starting to slide along the ice battlefield chasing Squirtle, who tried to escape using Gyro Ball, but Lapras quickly caught up to him and used her neck to toss Squirtle onto a wall.

"Skull Bash!" Squirtle propelled himself from the wall and aimed at Lapras head-first.

"Zen Heabutt!" Lapras' horn turned into a pink blade and she used to slash Squirtle away. "Freeze-Dry!" While Squirtle was recovering, Lapras opened her mouth and released a light blue beam that froze Squirtle upon contact. "Thunderbolt!" The attack came from Lapras' horn again and caused an explosion that broke through the ice and defeated Squirtle at the same time.

"Squirtle is unable to battle! Lapras is the winner!" Kukui said.

"And goes down just like his buddy." Dahlia said. "Lorelei reduced the fight to a 1v1; and considering that Water Absorb, Lapras must still have plenty of health, but Ash also has one Pokemon completely untouched, how is this battle going to end, huh?"

"Tauros, I choose you!" Ash called out the bull who appeared in scene with a roar.

"We're ending this now! Freeze-Dry!"

"Fire Blast!" Tauros roared again releasing the fire kanji from his mouth, which easily overpowered the Freeze-Dry and then landed a clean hit on Lapras.

"...Well, that was unexpected." Dahlia said.

"Horn Attack!" Tauros rammed in Lapras' directions as his horn elongated and then impaled the Water-Type with them.

"Hydro Pump!" Lapras expelled the water stream from her mouth pushing Tauros back once again.

"Rock Tomb!" Three rocks formed in the tips of Tauros' three tails and he swung them around tossing the rocks towards Lapras.

"Zen Heabutt!" Lapras used her blade horn and cut through the first two rocks, but the last one hit her right on her neck.

"Fire Blast!" Tauros used the attack again, Lapras tried to ski away, but she was unable to dodge.

"Now Close Combat!" Tauros rushed towards Lapras again, this time attacking with a succesion of kicks, tail slaps and heabutts.

"Thunderbolt!" Having Tauros close to her, Lapras fired the electric blast landing on Tauros' head and paralyzing him for a brief moment. "Zen Heabutt!" Lapras once again used the psychic blade to slash away her opponent, but Tauros was still standing up. "Freeze-Dry to his feet!" Lapras quickly used the move before Tauros could react and froze his hooves to the ice battlefield.

"Use Fire Blast to free yourself!"

"Zen Heabutt!"

Tauros made the move aiming to his hooves to melt the fire that was trapping him, but while he focused on doing that, Lapras slid using the ice until she was in front of him again and slashed Tauros several times with her horn.

"Use Rock Tomb!" Tauros quickly tossed the stones, but Lapras slid away and avoided them. "Do it again!" Ash ordered and Tauros kept tossing rocks despite Lapras avoiding them every time, but the rocks ended up falling upon the battlefield, giving lapras less and less space to slide.

"That's enough of you, Hydro Pump!"

"Horn Attack!" Tauros charged towards the enemy as he recieved the attack directly on his head, but he kept pushing through and stabbed both his horn into Lapras again.

"Zen Headbutt!" Lapras slashed down Tauros, making his horn nail into the ice battlefield beneath them.

"Use Horn Attack again!" Tauro's horns elongated again and broke through the ice, once he was free, he went to stab Lapras again, but this time he sunk his horn right in the ice beneath her.

"He missed?" Dahlia asked.

"No, he didn't." Ash smiled and Tauros smiled as well just before using his horns as a catapult and toss Lapras up in the air.

"EH?!" That was all Lorelei could exclaim."H-Hydro Pump!"

"Fire Blast!"

Both moves met in the middle of the air while Lapras was falling, Lapras then finally fell on top of Tauros and kicked up plenty of ice dust and steam, once all that settled, Lapras could be seen with swirls in her eyes while Tauros was still able to fight, despite being trapped under the weight of Lapras, apparently the impact left him without strength to toss her up again.

"Lapras is unable to battle! Tauros is the winner and the victory goes to Ash!" Kukui shouted getting a roar from the stadium and some claps from the Elite Four and Champions.

"That's my boy!" Delia shouted form the stands.

"That's our boy!" Burnet cheered as well with Lei laughing in her arms.

"Wasn't that great?" Lorelei smiled while both Ash and her returned their Pokemon. "You're really better than I thought, Ash!" She shouted still from her side of the battlefield. "But you're far from done! You only got a taste of the Elite Four power!"

"Thanks a lot for the battle, Lori!" Ash replied.

"Heh... you know what, I don't much care, call me that if you want." Lorelei said before blowing Ash a kiss and walking out of the battlefield.

"That's what they call breaking the ice, everyone!" Dahlia said getting some boos form the crowd. "Oh, well nevermind, we're gonna take a little 30 minute break to let the champion get back some air." She explained as the ice battlefield changed to a normal one again.

.

"Well, that's one down." Juan said. "You're next, Karen."

"On my way. Better get some last minute warm-up" She said cracking her knuckles before leaving the room.

"That Tauros surely has some raw strength." Marshall said.

"Well, I think Cufant was great." Bertha said.

"Team Bulbasaur and Squirtle here." Drasna replied doing two peace signs with her hands. "I love Pokemon Talk!"

"Can you believe Ash actually hasn't used most of those Pokemon in years though?" Diantha asked. "Even though they seemed in such good shape."

"That's because he doesn't just store them." Lance said. "Ash's Pokemon are free to roam in Professor's Oak lab, where they get plenty of time for training. I've seen it myself some times while visiting the old man."

"Ash, yes, Ash told me something about that." Cynthia said. "Back when we met in Unova and I asked him about his Sinnoh Pokemon."

"Well, it surely is nice to have some reserves." Goodshow said. "And I hope you all brought the best too because we will decide the champion battle soon."

"That reminds me, if we're all here to represent the regions Ash has traveled in, shouldn't Steven be here too?" Cynthia asked.

"He was going to come along with us, yes. But he told us that he had unexpected business in Galar." Lance said.

"Yup, something regarding his Devon Corporation and Chairman Rose's Macro Cosmos." Diantha replied. "You know he's been quite busy with that since his father inherited him the whole thing, poor guy even had to interrupt his Rock hunt expedition."

"I-I can't believe Lorelei lost like that against him." Clair said still sitting next to Iris. "I mean, she's far stronger than me... Iris, if you get chosen for-"

"Of course I'm going to win." Iris interrupted while she simply looked at Ash leaving the battlefield.

Meanwhile with Ash.

"That was crazy, brother!" Elaine exclaimed in Ash's changing room, where they were along the rest of the girls. "I almost can't believe how strong you are."

"Hey, it's nothing, you did beat me after all." Ash answered.

"That was only because I tricked you with my Pikachu's Ability, now that you know what it really is, I most surely don't stand a chance." She answered while Ash's Pikachu nodded and Elaine's Pikachu laughed at him.

"Come on, don't say it like that, I mean, you've earned your eight badges, so you're really strong on you own." Ash insited.

"But you're a champion, so you're still stronger." Elaine answered.

"Are you two just gonna keep praising each other for eternity?" Mina asked with a short laugh.

"I can't believe you had a lost sister this whole time!" Flannery shouted. "...No, wait, actually, I totally believe it, it kinda checks out with the usual stuff we've dealt with so far."

"Well, I'm really happy for you two, I'm Lillie by the way." She said talking to Elaine. "I'm Ash 9th girlfriend, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Pleasure's all mine." Elaine answered. "So 9 already? You don't waste time." She said smirking to her brother.

"Yeah, sure, but serious talking, Elaine, thanks a lot for coming to see me in person." Ash said.

"It's nothing, that's what family is for." She replied. "After all, you promised to go and see me in the Kanto league too, didn't you?"

"Of course I did, and I wouldn't miss it for the world." Ash answered. "You also must have worked really hard to get where you are."

"I sure did, Brock, Misty, Erika, Blaine, Giselle, Visquez, Janine, Sabrina, I defeated all of them, but each battle was really hard."

"Hmm, Visquez, Janine and... Giselle?" Ash asked.

"Right, it's been some years since you traveled through and Kanto and they all became leaders rather recently." Elaine said. "Visquez is Lt. Surge's trainee, she's been the leader of the Vermilion Gym since Surge retired, Janine is from the Fuchsia Gym, she's Koga's daugther and inherited the Gym after her father was appointed as a Johto Elite Four, as for Giselle, she became the new leader of Viridian City after the whole situation with Team Rocket was cleared out."

"How interesting, I mean, I haven't met either Visquez or Janine, but I did meet Giselle back when my journey was starting, she definitely had potential, I'm not surprised she became a Gym Leader."

"Boy, my battle against her was seriously the second hardest right after Sabrina, that Marowak is insane." Elaine sighed. "Hmm, so you met her, does that mean Giselle will join your harem too?"

"What? No, I mean, she was my first crush and all that, but-"

"SHE WHAT?!" The rest of the girls shouted.

"B-B-But it was just something short." Ash continued. "I'm not sure if we'd end up in something, that's if we ever meet again."

"But if you do meet you'd give it a try?" Elaine asked.

"Well, uh, yes, I guess." Ash answered.

"Why all those questions, Elaine?" Mina asked with a teasing look.

"I-It's nothing, you know, it's that as Ash's sister, I'd just like to keep track of all the girls." She stuttered. "You can be sure that I'll be the cool aunt that gives the kids money without telling you."

"You'll have to bring plenty of money then." Selene said. "Considering all of the people here."

"But since we're at that, Elaine..." Ash got closer to her. "Tell me, do you have someone special?"

"Eh... w-w-where does that question come from?" Elaine stuttered while blushing.

"Well, you know, I'm your brother, so if someone wants to date you they'll have to get my approbation first." He smiled patting her head.

"Pftt, yeah, sure, we've barely met for two weeks." Elaine laughed. "But... well, there's this boy I kinda like."

"Really?" Ash asked.

"Yeah, but..." Elaine scratched the back of her head and looked away.

"Come on, just do it." Mina whispered.

"Thing is that it could be a problem liking him, because... because he already has a girlfriend, just one, of course." She answered and Mina facepalmed. "So I guess it's a lost cause... or do you think I should ask for a shared relationship like the one you have?"

"I honestly wouldn't recommend that to you, sister." Ash answered.

"But why not? Like, you have 9 girlfriends now, with probably other 9 in the way and it doesn't look like you're planning to stop there."

"And that's exactly why I suggest you to not even consider it." Ash said. "Elaine, I love all of my girlfriends and I know they love me too, but I know they're not entirely happy, even if they get along with each other and I find time for each one of them, it is simply not the same, I try my best, but... I know they'd be happier if they didn't have to share me... I don't want that for you."

"I... thank you, brother." Elaine sighed. "And don't worry, I'm sure they're as happy as ever." She said pointing at the girls, who all has rather worried looks towards Ash.

"Is that... really how you feel?" Bea asked. "Even after all we've talked about?"

"Ash, we all are happy, you know it." Nessa said.

"Yes, I know." Ash answered. "But we all know this still isn't fair for you, girls."

"And what were you supposed to do, huh? Rejecting us all?" Gloria asked. "Ash, you followed your heart, just like we all did, there's nothing wrong with that."

"We are your girlfriends, you are our boyfriend." Acerola said. "We're all a family, we're in this together, for the good and the bad."

"Here! I'll cheer you up!" Skyla said brining Ash's face to her breasts.

"You can't just fix everything by throwing his face in your boobs!" Selene complained.

"Who decided that?" Flannery asked.

"Hmp, fine then." Skyla laughed before taking Ash's face again and giving him a lip kiss. "I love you, with sharing and everything, that's all that matters."

"Each of us love you, we wouldn't have agreed to this if we weren't aware of the possible consequences." Lillie said.

"And please, don't think about all those things that May and Dawn said." Mallow added. "I can tell that still troubles you."

"Yeah, those two don't even know what they were talking about." Lana said. "Quite the friends they are."

"And even if what they said is right, as long as we stick together we'll be fine." Peonia said.

"Well, everyone gave you a piece of their mind." Bea talked again. "Feeling better?"

"...Thank you, girls." Ash gave them a wide smile.

"Well, I say this deserves a kissing konga line!" Gloria said and the rest of the girls laughed while they all approached Ash to get a kiss.

"Well, isn't that a charming family?" Flannery asked.

"Yup, I'll give it to Ash, he definitely knows how to find thrustworthy and loving people." Selene added.

"Oh, well, I'mma take a smooch as well." Flannery said.

"I'm still not sure about how I feel about the fact that we kissed him despite not being his girlfriends yet." Selene tapped her fingers in embarassment, but went to join the fray either way.

"Talk about chaos." Mina laughed standing aside along Elaine. "Listen, girl, what Ash said is still kinda true. But if that person you like is really worth it, then I think you should give it a try."

"No... I... I think I'm fine with the way things are." Elaine sighed.

Meanwhile in Wyndon.

"Okay, Dawn, hehe, it's been a week already! I'm gonna call Ash." Chloe said with her Rotom Phone in hand while looking at herself in the mirror as her Eevee stood on her head with quite a worried look. "...Fine, it hasn't been a week yet, but I'm really worried! What if something happened? What if the chasers found them? What if they're injured? What if-"

"Hey, Chloe-"

"What's the matter, Mom?!" Chloe shouted.

"Uh, sorry, but you have some visits, would you mind coming down with us?" She asked.

"Ugh, sure." Chloe sighed as her mother guided her downstairs, with the girl freezing in place once she saw the trio of chasers talking with her father in the living room.

"Chloe." Shunya said.

"Koharu." Goh sighed.

"Chorizo hair girl." Lyla added.

"G-Goh, Lyla, Shunya, guys..." Chloe stuttered. "Uh, how are you?"

"They already told me everything, Chloe." Her father answered. "Your... your friends has been arrested and now they came for you because you helped them... So you lied to us and to Regina's family? And you put both of yourselves in danger? Regina could've been seriously injured during the fight!"

"I-It's not what it looks like." Chloe answered.

"No, I don't wanna hear it." Professor Cerise interrupted.

"Darling, wait a moment, you should let her explain." Talia said.

"Well, I won't let her!" He answered.

"I don't need your permission!" Chloe suddenly shouted and then covered her mouth before taking a deep breath. "Y-Y-Yes, I lied, but... I did it for my friend, Dawn need me and I wasn't going to fail her."

"Koharu... just come with us, peacefully." Goh said. "Please, do it for us, you and me, for the good old times."

"You put an end the good old times." Chloe answered.

"Why did you two broke up anyway?" Shunya asked.

"Not the moment!" They both shouted.

"Eevee-"

"Don't try it!" Goh shouted.

"Sand Attack!" Chloe ordered and her Eevee swoop her tail along the ground, summoning a small sandstorm that surrounded the chasers and her parents. Chloe then quicky grabbed her Eevee and ran towards the backdoor, but she bumped onto Chrysa before she could escape. "C-C-Chrysa, liste-"

"Just keep running." Chrysa whispered, Chloe smiled at her and ran out of the lab, Chrysa then closed the backdoor and Goh, Shunya and Lyla entered the room running along Chloe's parents. "I'm sorry, she managed to escape me." Chrysa said.

"Frosmoth!"

"Vikavolt!"

"Scisor!"

"Find her!" The three chasers ordered and the bugs broke through the door to then away to go after Chloe.

"Goh, enough!" Talia shouted, but the trio ignored her and ran away following their Pokemon.

"You didn't have to break down the door by the way!" Chrysa shouted.

"We don't have time to think about collateral damage!" Lyla answered.

"I'm pretty sure that was just damage damage!" Chrysa replied. "It wasn't even locked!"

"Please don't harm Chloe!" Prof. Cerise shouted.

"That'll be up to her!" Goh said.

"Don't worry, we're not gonna hurt her!" Shunya answered. "It'll be a peaceful arrest!"

"Not sure if you should be trusting the eyebag guy's word." Chrysa said.

"Why did you let her escape?" Prof. Cerise asked.

"I heard the whole thing from back here." Chrysa asked. "I feel like Chloe did what she did for an important reason, there must be something else that Goh and his team aren't telling you."

"We have to go and help Chloe!" Talia said.

"We can't just go and do that!" Prof. Cerise answered. "Do none of you understand? They're authorized to do this! Chloe did something illegal and now she just made everything worse by resisting."

"She's our daughter!" Talia shouted. "Are you seriously not going to do anything about this?!"

"I'm afraid so and neither will you." He answered. "Sorry, I can only afford to lose one family member today."

"But Ray-"

"I said that nobody in this house is going after them!" He shouted. "Please, just... Chloe knew what she was getting into, now she'll have to take responsibility... you understand that, right?" He asked her wife.

"...Yes." Talia sighed.

"Great, now you two help me fix this door." He said.

'...Nobody in this house, huh?' Chrysa thought
