Bonnie's POV:

I felt an unseen rage pass through me as I saw Ash grinning like a mad man and I suddenly began assaulting him with punches.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!! What are you doing? ", Ash asked me TOTALLY  amused. He had become extremely strong now physically. I gave him a death glare but he was unfazed.

"Are you so damn poor that you can't afford a videophone to call me and Clemont once in a while? We were worried SICK. "

"Alright! Alright! I apologize.  I was too engrossed in training that I forgot my contacts with the external world. I will make up for it!", he said defensively but chuckling at the same time.

"Alright, Ash. I expected this from you. Have you at least talked to Serena? ", I asked him to which he nodded with a grin. After that, I lost it.

"YET,  YOU COULDN'T SPEND ANOTHER MINUTE TO TALK TO US?", I roared. Meanwhile Dedenne began to play with Raichu who was ecstatic seeing the large electric mouse.

"Chespin, that's enough.  You've had lots of macarons and you'll end up fat like last time!", I heard a very familiar voice advise.

"CHE!CHE!CHE!CHESPIN!PIN!", the grass type yelled desperately trying to grab the box of macarons.

"Get back in your Pokeball. Hey Bonnie! Is that a challen......Ash?!", Clemont kinda asked hurriedly. Ash just grinned in response.

"What's up, inventor?", he replied showing him the victory symbol. Clemont ran and hugged him as hard as he could and Ash just smiled and hugged him back with equal force.

"Its so good to see you, Ash. How have you been?", Clemont asked adjusting his spectacles.

"I'm fine. Spectacular, in fact. All of my Pokemon are in their final stage of evolution and we've been training immensely hard for the Lumiose Conference", Ash said still clasping Clemont's hand. By then, Clemont had realized that Pikachu had evolved and immediately took out a small machine having two wires.

"May I run a small test on your Raichu, Ash?", Clemont asked in response to which Raichu tensed and hid behind Ash's legs.

"Don't worry. I just wanna see the strength of his electricity. This machine would help me note down the required readings", Clemont explained to which Ash nodded and so did Raichu. Clemont immediately stuck the two wires to the yellow dots on his cheeks and stuck a cello tape around it to keep it in position, and switched on the device.

"Now, Raichu. I want you to use the strongest ever Thunderbolt you can create", Clemont asked to which Raichu nodded unsurely.

"Are you sure its safe, Clemont? I mean, Raichu has grown extremely powerful, you know", Ash warned but Clemont waved it off.

"RAAAAAICHIIIIIIIII!!!"

Suddenly, the device exploded as expected and destroyed my hairstyle as I was close to the device along with Clemont. Ash was wise enough to stay a few yards away and Raichu was unfazed.

"Looks like I'll need a stronger machine", Clemont drawled half dazed. Ash gave him the I-told-you-so look and Raichu apologized.

"Raichu is insanely powerful, Ash. You must be very proud", Clemont complimented.

"Thanks, Clemont. It was 80 percent Raichu's efforts though. Hey Bonnie! Have you found Clemont a wife?", he asked me cheekily. I smirked in return.

"Not yet. I am close however. You can't find a wife on your own, Clemont. You know that, and so does Daddy. He approves of me helping you", I said placing my hands on my hips. Clemont sweatdropped and just shook his head mumbling something about crazy sisters.

"ASH!!", a silky voice was heard out of nowhere and I know that voice VERY well.

"Serena?", Ash asked half surprised and half overjoyed. She squealed and jumped onto him within a blink of an eye. My, my, my.... Serena had matured too. She had the perfect curves that would make any man drool over her, but she was balanced by Ash who could have any girl of his choice just with that grin of his, except, he is WAY too dense to realize that.

Serena's POV :

Meeting your boyfriend after 6 long years is a totally contradicting feeling. You'd wanna hit him as hard as you can but at the same time you'd want to kiss him as fierce as possible. I kept staring in to his eyes and he pressed lips to mine as hard as possible and I  began to run my fingers through his muscled abdomen and chest. I realised that this was the first time that he had ever kissed me and we continued making out for quite some time until some brown haired girl cleared her throat. Ash stopped kissing MUCH to my dissatisfaction and saw May along with Dawn. Their expressions were priceless and I cursed my luck for not remembering to bring a camera. I could have irritated them with that picture for a solid year at the most. Dawn was busy staring at Ash mouth wide open and eyes bulging out while May was finding it difficult to breathe and her expression looked similar to that of a Magikarp.

"Do you have a camera, Bonnie?", I asked her to which she simply giggled and shook her head while Dawn and May regained their composure.

"How are you guys? The last time I saw you was 6 years ago, haven't you guys changed!!", Ash exclaimed seeing the both of them.

"We would have talked to you Ash except, there was a certain honey haired girl preventing us from doing so for some apparent reason", May stressed. I gave her a death glare in return to which she just rolled her eyes and Ash chuckled.

"Someone's possessive of her boyfriend!", Dawn chimed.

"Are you guys here to participate in the Contests?", he asked.

"Well, you're in bad luck. Contests for this year are already over. You have to come back next year to participate", Bonnie told us and the three of us groaned in despair. I noticed Clemont standing shyly in he corner with his Chespin who was  trying to steal a box of macarons.

"Guys, these are Clemont and Bonnie. They travelled with me and Ash through Kalos", I introduced them to Dawn and May who waved with a small smile.

"These are Dawn and May", I introduced the girls to Clemont and Bonnie who waved back in return. I half expected Bonnie to propose to one of them but I guess she left that habit. In a jiffy, she went to Dawn on one knee.

"You are very pretty! Will you take care of my brother? You're a keeper!", she proposed straight away to Dawn and like always Clemont's Aipom arm came and snatched her away while he ran back embarrassed.

"BONNIE! I'VE TOLD YOU MANY TIMES NOT TO DO THAT!! THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING!!", Clemont lamented running away to his room, carrying Bonnie with his Aipom arm.

"Think about it anyway", Bonnie chimed in with a victory sign and a wink. May and Dawn were totally uncomfortable with that proposal and I began to explain the whole "keeper searching process" of Bonnie to them. Meanwhile, Ash was fitting on some gloves which looked like bracers with Raichu helping him. Suddenly, Piplup ran towards them.

"Hey there Piplup!!", Ash wished him with yet another grin. Piplup squealed his name and hugged Ash who rubbed his head in return.

"Hey, Piplup! I want you to meet someone", he said and threw a Pokeball. Out of it, a rather large Garchomp appeared which probably knew Piplup very well as the latter was not very pleased to meet the Dragon Type.

"Gaaaaaar....CHOMMMP!!", it yelled and shot a Draco Meteor in the air. Piplup panicked and he hid behind Dawn but somehow the attack combined into one single ball of energy and fell on the small water type who yelled in pain and fainted.

"Come ON, Garchomp. How many times have I told you not to attack Piplup with that Draco Meteor?", Ash scolded his Garchomp who simply grinned in return. Piplup regained consciousness and began to shout his name waving his fins all over in anger.

"LUP!PIP!PIPLUP!!PIP!", Piplup yelled.

"I'm so sorry, Piplup. I thought he'd just say a friendly hello", Ash apologised rubbing the back of his head. Piplup simply puffed his cheeks but went to Garchomp and patted his thighs somewhat in a forgiving manner. It was funny seeing the interaction between the 2 Pokemon.

"Hey, Ash! Can I ask you something?", May asked him to which he raised his eyebrows.

"Sure!", he replied.

"Well, Max participated in the Hoenn League...", she began.

"That's great! How did he do?", Ash asked enthusiastically.

"He...Umm...Got knocked out in his first battle. He seems to have lost all of his vigour and enthusiasm in battling. No offense, but could you give him a few tips on how to cope up after a loss?", May asked unsurely. Ash just shrugged his shoulders.

"Course. I mean, I could write a book in that field. I know how it feels to lose especially when you have trained with your heart and soul but you fall short of your dreams. Max is way too overconfident. That helps at times but when it turns to ego, that's when it all goes downhill", Ash explained.

"Why don't you call him here? The Kalos League can give him a better experience. Plus, I'll be here to help him out if at all he does require some help", Ash added.

"I'll call him right away. If he doesn't come, I'll drag him here!", May replied oozing with excitement.

"Tell him I'll give him the battle I promised him 6 years ago. That might give a push", he added.

"I'm gonna train with my Pokemon, okay?", Ash informed/asked us. We all nodded our heads and he went into the training field.

"Can I see your Pokemon, Ash?", Bonnie asked with starry eyes. He simply nodded his head and went to the training arena.

"ALL OF YOU, COME OUT!!", he yelled and the entire training arena was occupied by Pokemon. Suddenly he was attacked by green snake who rushed to him and curled around him.

"(Laughs) Serperior, let me go!!", Ash told the snake laughing. Meanwhile another grass type Pokemon was glaring at the snake and charged towards Ash.

"Mega! Meganium!!", she ran and crashed into him, but he kept his balance. So that's how a Meganium looks like.

"How many Pokemon do you have Ash?", Dawn asked eyeing each and everyone of his Pokemon while a large orange weasel like Pokemon came and hugged her.

"Buizel! You've evolved!!", she exclaimed in return to which she got a duh kinda look from the Pokemon.

"To answer your question Dawn, I have ummm..... 51 different Pokemon species. I'm stressing on species because of my 30 Tauros. If you want my total count, it stands at 80 Pokemon", Ash replied. None of us could speak after that. Our mouths hung open not because of the fact that he had 80 Pokemon but because of the fact that each and every one of them adored him, at least from my point of view. I mean, my Pokemon love me a lot too, but I haven't seen SUCH an adoration in their eyes. I don't blame them however. Ash had the ability to take care of his Pokémon to the next level. It was no rocket science to realize that they loved him a lot.

"Guys! I'm only training the water types today, okay? The rest of you can go and play. Be safe and don't blow,  freeze or tie anything up, alright?", he told them to which they cheered and ran off.

"Alright! Floatzel, you'll work on your defense by sparring with Greninja. Meanwhile, Greninja you are fast, but we need to work on the strength of your attacks. Floatzel, you are strong yet sluggish. If we focus on your speed, we'll weaken your strength. In order to avoid that, we'll bulk up your defense. You'll defend all of Greninja's attacks. Swampert, you'll spar with Blastoise. Feraligatr, you'll improve your reaction time by sparring with Samurott. Samurott, you lack stamina. So, you'll keep attacking Feraligatr until you land a hit on him. When you do so, your aim is to land 2 hits and so on. The rest of you, solo training", Ash ordered. All of the Pokemon nodded and began carrying out the orders. While Ash hadn't changed physically, his methods of training underwent massive change. All I can say is, he may take the Kalos League by storm.
