"I see that you are from Kanto. Now show me that you are not cocky."
"You asked for it."
--------- Ash PoV --------------
"Alright trainer this will be an one-on-one unofficial battle between Kalos champion Diantha and trainer Ash Ketchum. Trainers bring your Pokémon forth."
"You are up Lucario."
"Gardevoir time to battle."
"Battle Begin"
"Show me Ash that I am not wasting my time."
"Promise me you won't regret it."
"I won't."
"Alright Lucario Power-up Punch."
Diantha just nodded. With that Gardevoir dodged the attack.
'
Lucario turned around and hit her (Gardevoir) hard. Diantha and Prof. were in shock.
"We can also play that game."
"Gardevoir shadow ball."
"Well looks like we are better than you in this game." ''
Lucario created a big bone and spun it round shielding himself from the attack.
"Not bad. Looks like a worthy opponent." Diantha said.
"Don't be sad if you lose, we are training to win against anyone coming in our way." I replied.
"Alright Gardevoir lets show them. Respond to my heart and Mega-evolve."
"Okay Lucario this is our first time. Let's show them our bond. Aura is with us."
Both of us touched the necklace. Rays of aura connected the stones. And they mega evolved. A DNA symbol shined and the light died.
On the field stood mega Gardevoir and mega Lucario.
{mega Gardevoir}
{mega Lucario.}
"Gardevoir shadow ball."
Gardevoir created purple orbs of energy and shot them towards Lucario.
"Lucario bone rush." I commanded.
But Lucario didn't obey my command and just stood there. The puple orbs hit Lucario. He cried in pain. He opened his eyes. They weren't normal. They show anger inside them. This wasn't the Lucario I knew. He had lost control. I created barriers around the field and ran up to Lucario.
"Snap out of buddy."
He just gritted his teeth and punched me. I knew that there was no option left.
I slapped him across the face.
"look at me."
slap
"I said look at me."
he punched me.
slap
"why do we train??"
Slap
"Answer me!! Do we train to lose our control to power??"
Slap
"Or do we train to control the power??"
Slap
"ANSWER ME!!"
I grabbed his both hands , closed my eyes and concentrated on my Aura. I calmed down his Aura.
He slowly started to gain control. He eyes turned back to normal. He came back to himself. I put my hands-on shoulders and shook him.
"You alright."
'yeah I am fine. But my left jaw pains a bit.'
"Sorry if I hit you too hard."
'I am fine. Just the power feels too much.'
"Ready to complete our battle."
'You bet.'
"Diantha we are back in the game. Ready to continue??"
"Ready when you are."
"Battle resume."
''
Lucario concentrated aura into a sphere at shot it towards. It hit Gardevoir head on for no one able to dodge. She stumbled back but got on her feet again. It was to late. She was hit with a power up punch.
"Gardevoir psychic."
''
Gardevoir sent a beam which was about to hit Lucario when shield was formed. Gardevoir's attack was of no use.
"I think we should stop here." Prof. Sycmore said. "I have collected so much data. Thanks for your time Diantha and Ash."

"My pleasure prof. call me any time if you need." I said.
"I think I should get going." Diantha said.
"it was pleasure meeting another champion." I shook hand with her. She gestured some thing to prof. Suddenly my stomach grumbled.
"Sorry, guess I'm hungry. Can you suggest any restaurant Professor?"
"I think that you will like Sushi high roller. And I assume you have map in your cell phone."
"Thanks prof. but can you tell me where the restroom is."
"Take left to the end."
I ran to the rest room. I sent out Laura. She was angry for not letting her out for a long time. I returned in while. Prof nor champion was there. Laura joined in a minute. I returned Charmander.
Both of us went for a walk in the city. We bought some sweets, some luxury-balls. Had a hearty meal in the Sushi High Roller. We had a nice day. Then we decided to head back to pallet.
---- no one PoV -----
----- meanwhile when ash was out --------
"That boy sure is something. I wasn't wasting my time. Glad i didn't go for the shoot."
"What do you expect. He is one determined kid."
"If you didn't stop the match I would have lost."
"That's the reason Diantha I stopped the match. Both of them are training for more than 4 years now. That was just the one Pokémon you saw. Any one will run way when they will see his power."
"He really meant it when he said 'Don't be sad if you lose, we are training to win against anyone coming in our way.'" She said recalling the event in her mind.
"You heard his name, right?"
"Yeah Ash Ketchum."
"You see Ash didn't battle you for he wanted to show Calem or you or me What he has. He has another goal. They possess the power to bring down anyone and everyone who will come in his way." Prof. took a deep breath
"You remember Red Ketchum. The strongest champion who disappeared."
"Yes, I have heard a lot about him."
"He is Ash's father. Ash says that he left his family to keep them safe. Red was on team rockets most wanted list for ruining their plans. So, it wasn't safe for him to stay with his family."
"Poor boy, looks like he grew up without father's love."
"Yeah. That's they do brutal training. He and his Pokémon has a strong bond."
"It didn't look like they had"
"You mean when he slapped Lucario"
"yes"
"That's the first time I have seen him hitting like that but there must be a reason behind it."
"What's the goal you were talking about."
"That he only gave us Professors permission to tell this to champions. His quest is to stop all evil organizations so that no human or Pokémon will suffer the fate he suffered. So, all I wanted to tell you that don't be sad if he was winning."
"He is one power house. But what if he causes havoc??"
"Take my advice and don't go against him. He'll mop the floor with all the champions. Do not do anything stupid. He may not hold grudges but he won't forgive you either. I have seen him taking down 20 team rocket grunts as easily as we take a deep breath."

"why did he want information about mega evolution??"
"Well technically he is a walking pokedex. But he believes more in experience. He wants to gather every ounce of power he will need to take those organizations down."
"Well he is doing a great job I'll say."
"Yes, he is doing."
"If he needs any help tell him to give me a call."
"You are saying that I should share your number with him??"
"Why not, he is a remarkable Trainer. He knows and controls the power he has. Besides he is using it for good."
----Ash PoV----
"Hey Laura its getting late lets go home. Teleport me back to Pallet town."
'Ok Ash'
We teleported to the outskirts of Pallet town
"Thanks Laura return"
I ran towards my house knocked on the door mom opened it we went inside I told her what happened today how I met Calem and Serena. The battle I had with the champion and what happened when Lucario mega evolved. Then I caught a new Pokémon. Its name is Honedge. Then we had dinner and I went to my room I called out Lucario.
"Lucario I am sorry for slapping you today."
'No problem Ash.'
"Since when did you started to call me Ash." Ash said in a stern voice.
'Just from the noon. If there is a problem I can stick with master.'
"No, I was just kidding call me Ash I like it. Master feels distant."
'Ok Ash.'
"Lucario how did you feel when you mega evolved."
'It was like I was filled with aura then I lost control then the only thing I was seeing was Gardevoir.'
"Ok I was worried about you but now that you are good, I finally feeling fine. Now let's sleep. I am tired."
'Right tomorrow is going to be a big day.'
"Yeah."
With saying that I lied down on my bed. I was thinking about what Lucario said with that in my mind I drifted off to sleep.
(I am not bothering about outfit. It will be according to the region he is traveling.)
The morning arrived. I had decided that I will permanently keep Honedge and Laura out of pokeballs. I kept their pokeballs inside a safe and gave it to prof. for safe keeping. Team rocket wasn't going to attack any place with warning so I needed them outside.
My team right now was
Scizor, Lucario, Eevee, Togekiss, Magmar and Dragonair. Honedge and Laura were with me. I wasn't breaking any rule. I was just twisting it to favor myself. I gave Laura some pokeballs to hold, so I won't have to carry all of them.
After saying goodbyes to mom and professor I once again set on my journey. We were walking along the route 1 when Ho-oh came. The majestic bird landed in front of us.
'Hi there Ash. There is an errand for you from Arceus. I will take you to the place where it is. After that I will drop you of where ever you please. And there are a few more secrets to be revealed.'
I just nodded at sat on his back. Helped Laura to get on. The bird spread his wings and took off. There was a beautiful rainbow behind us. We decided to take a nap. But asked him first if it was ok.
When I woke up GPS told that we were in Sinnoh region.
'We are about to reach our destination. So, till then I'll tell you the story about this mission. In ancient times mother Arceus got injured in the attempt of saving the life on earth from a meteor crash. Damos was a hardworking man who rescued her when she was suffering critical injury. She created a jewel called as 'JEWEL OF LIFE' and gave it to Damos. He was told to return the jewel on the day of solar eclipse. He wasn't able to return it for it was being controlled by Marcus. Mother now has gathered sufficient amount of energy ot come here and get the jewel. Your job is to get the jewel back within time.'
"A piece of cake!"
We reached the town of Michina. I sent out Lucario. Explained him the situation. Both of us closed our eyes and searched for a place emitting massive amount of power. I left Laura and Honedge for Ho-oh's safety. When we returned I had a jewel in my hand. It looked beautiful. Ho-oh gave out a cry and the creation trio appeared. Because of them a portal was created and Arceus emerged from it.
Lucario and Laura bowed at the presence of god. I didn't know what to do. I was about to bow when Ho-oh said there was no need. I held my hands up holding the jewel. It floated towards Arceus, dismantled into plates. Those plats joined the remaining ones which were floating around her.
She regained her strength, changed into human form. She landed and walked towards. I stuck my hand out to shake.
"It's nice to meet....mmph."
She grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a kiss. We separated. I had confusion written on my face.
"What was that for??" I asked but no one had time to even look at me.
"Ashy is mine." Laura said.
"Relax we can share him. And we aren't the only ones who he will be with."
"So, what you stole his first kiss." Laura pouted.
I had no idea what's going on. No one was giving me shit so I decided to raise my voice.
"CAN SOME ONE TELL WHATS GOING ON??" they turned their attention towards me. "what's going on?? Am I a piece of cake which both of you will just share? what about my emotion??"
'seriously ash?? Everyone here knows that you like both of them.'
'was it necessary for him to speak' I thought.
"It is just one thing Ashy, there are many things to come. You will learn them within your journey. I won't be traveling with you like Laura but I will be contacting you time to time. Goodbye."
With that she changed again. A blinding light appeared and she was gone.
I returned Lucario.
"Ready to go??" I asked Laura. She pulled me into deep kiss. We departed due to lack of oxygen.
"Now we can go." She said with a smile on her face.
Ho-oh dropped us in the out skirts of Viridian forest. We reached the viridian city and booked ourselves a room at Pokémon center. Another day was gone. It was night and we were about to sleep when I sensed a different presence in the city. I decided to look into to see what was going on. I got to know that it was a Pokémon. his name was Mewtwo, which was given by those scientists. it wasn't bad. He was inside a lab. Inside a glass ball. From what he had heard he was a clone created from mew's DNA. He was created by team rocket. Time to time he was abused and was treated harshly. I promised him that I will give him his freedom.

The Shards of Sylvia's Soul
In the little village of Nyberg, Sylvia is dreaming of a future with Rebecca at her side. Together, they could move overseas. But when bandits attack, all of her tender dreams turn to ashes. Forced out of her home, Sylvia forges new bonds with the Fri, the women who have taken it upon themselves to protect their little corner of the world. She also meets Afi, a strange bandit with a stern face and a soft heart. Saving each other from certain demise, they join in a bond which irreversibly ties their souls together. So bonded, they attempt to settle down. When a distant heir to the Crown asks for aid to reunite the country, Sylvia sees her chance to finally right all the wrongs committed against her family. In the pursuit of the throne, Afi and Sylvia come to risk their very lives. Sylvia uncovers the relationship between soul, magic, and divinity itself, but even in research, there is peril. It is not an easy task to balance the strain on her soul with the demands of the upcoming battle. In this world, the soul is not an incorporeal concept. To the contrary, the human soul is a physical object, an organ which resides in the chest of each individual. It is a great source of strength, but also of vulnerability. Hardship can leave scratches and blemishes, or even break the soul in two. The soul is each person's connection to divinity, to the magic which is ubiquitous to the world. It enables the cultivation of gods, but old legends warn of demons emerging in the presence of corrupt intention, and of hollow warriors, with no soul at all. There are two sides to every page. Update ScheduleNew chapters are in the works. ScopeThree to four books in total are planned.Book 1: "Fri Women" Chapters 1-64. Find the paperback and e-book here.

8 58Sands of Elstirr (Dropped)
"Bodies are built from dust, and as the sand and wind strip the flesh from our bones, to dust we shall return." - Grand Sage Ghod The poets claim that the sands of Elstirr are red from the blood of the countless innocents slain upon them. The mages say that the is a by product of the reaction of excess elements. And the Orks, the ancient and warlike people, the natives of Elstirr claim that the sands are red from the tears of blood wept by their god Gulgirra. But one truth is known, the sands are an eternal and unforgiving place. The true edge of civilisation, they ebb and flow like the tides of the great salt seas to the south. Ever changing, and like the dunes cities rise and fall , and the tales of heroes can be heard like the howling winds across the expanse.
