3rd Person''s POV

A week had passed after the visit in Challenger's Cove, Ash had kept his promise and let Celebi always out of it's pokeball, even Diancie.

In that one week time, the trio were training with the help of Ash's supervision, Dragonair have gotten stronger, as well as Koharu's four other pokemons. Her Galarian Ponyta also managed to evolve into her own Galarian Rapidash, making it even more beautiful. She also managed to get her final pokemon which is a Duosion, a somewhat jelly green pokemon, having a diamond-like mouth and a little bit larger body than Solosis.

Ash was no different, he had countless trainings together with his bunch of different pokemons, and with his Shiny Gardevoir's assistance, he managed the training well.

Leaf was also assisting Koharu, and she also trained her pokemons to the max.

The three are still at Kanto, staying there in order to get into the registration quickly, they decided not to jump from regions to regions for awhile because they have a tournament to attend, and is coming close.

They are now located particularly at the route that leads to Saffron City, it is still awhile before they'll arrive there but they want to call it a night and camp there until morning. They have already set up and Ash was the one who's cooking their meal, it was good since Leaf and Ash had already experienced it for the past month, he wasn't a bad cook, he was still helped and assisted by Koharu.

After that, the trio eated, together with their other pokemons, including Diancie and Celebi, but their dine was interrupted by some sort of strong gush from someone, and by that someone, it was a Dragonite landing beside them, it was carrying a duffel bag that was hanging on Dragonite's back.

And that made Ash realize.

"Wait, you're Lance's Dragonite ! " Ash exclaimed in realization, Dragonite nodded and then picked up something on it's duffel bag, what came out is a fancy looking card that has a W mark on it, it also contained Lance's signature, this is an indication that makes you a wild card of his.

Ash thanked Dragonite and it flew back to where it should be headed, Ash stared at the fancy card with awe.

"You'll gonna show it to the registrar at Indigo League." Leaf informed, Ash nodded in response.

"What does that mean ? "  Diancie wondered, she's a pokemon, obviously she has no clue about it, except the whole fact that the tournament is all about battling and chasing the top.

"Diancie, it means that he's capable of earning a champion's respect and made him enter the league without getting the necessary number of badges because he already proved that he is worthy enough of entering the league."  Koharu did the job and explained to her.

"I see."  She said.

The trio, Diancie and Celebi continued on eating as well as the other pokemons, but then, Celebi suddenly stopped and looked around, even Diancie noticed the sudden behavior of it and wondered.

"Is something troubling you Celebi?"  Diancie asked, Ash, Leaf and Koharu also noticed it.

"She's here."  Celebi plainly muttered, Ash and the others have no clue what he just meant by that.

"She's what? Who's she?" Leaf asked and looked around, but no one is there.

Koharu, again, had her instict turned on, and went closer to Ash just in case, Lead couldn't help it but giggle at Koharu's doings, much to Koharu's annoyance and she just glared at the girl.

"Enlighten me Celebi."  Diancie ordered, Celebi still looked around, hoping to find what he's looking for.

"She's here, Diancie, the melody pokemon is here."  Celebi then stated, and with that, Diancie was surprised, as well as the two girls, hearing what Celebi just said, the two quickly recognized who he is talking about.

"Meloetta's here? Where?" Leaf asked and looked around, excited.

"Her presence is blurry, maybe she's in trouble."  Celebi said, his tone is slightly shaking.

"We have to help her, Celebi, I want you to lead us to her." Ash said and he returned his other pokemons, as well as Lead and Koharu, they did the same. The three left their place and ran towards the woods, surprisingly, Diancie was able to catch up, by using Psychic on herself, which is pretty rare since the others knew it can't learn a move like that.

Celebi guided them towards some thick forest and what they saw made their eyes widen.

"What is this? I've never seen this pokemon before."

"This may cost a lot of fortune!"

"Let's sell this one and see if this thing is really rare!"

Three odd looking poachers got their filthy hands on what appeared to be a small humanoid pokemon, it's long hair swayed sideways, it has some music notes on it. The three poachers noticed Ash and the others, but Ash was the one who's more surprised and was triggered at the whole scene.

"You, released Meloetta." Ash muttered, his voice is dark, even Koharu and Leaf was surprised at this.

"Eh? So it's name is Meloetta huh? And that thing over---"

"Tha-That is a Diancie and C-Celebi over there!" The other poacher interrupted him and pointed at the two mythical pokemons beside Ash.

"What's this, what's this? We have ourselves some legendary pokemons to catch." The poacher, who appeared to be likely their leader, said and stared greedily at the two, Diancie was disgusted at this.

"You evil humans are ridiculous, the likes of you shall be perished."  Diancie uttered.

"We're taking that two too, Magmortar, get out of there!" The leader of the gang sent out it's Magmortar, it cried menacingly and glared at the three.

"Houndoom, let's go!"

"Salazzle, battle time!"

The other two sent out their fire type pokemons. Ash said something unexpected.

"I'll take care of this, you guys just protect Diancie and Celebi if something isn't right." Ash said darkly, maybe his hate for pokemon poachers kicked in, Leaf, for the first time, couldn't argue with him, this is her first time seeing this side of Ash, Koharu also backed off and grabbed Diancie and Celebi, which also did followed his instructions.

"Gardevoir, please come out." He said and revealed his Shiny Gardevoir.

"You have some valuable pokemons in there, we should take them with us, Flamethrower Magmortar!" The leader commanded.

"Flamethrower!" The two grunts also commanded.

Magmortar, Salazzle and Houndoom sent out stream of fire in any way, and it was directed towards the psychic pokemon.

"Protect." He plainly commanded, and Gardevoir followed and just simply deflected all the attacks with a single Protect.

"I feel something."  Diancie suddenly said, and that made Leaf and Koharu wonder.

"Feel what?"

"Feel the power between Ash and his Gardevoir drastically rising."  Diancie stated.

"What?"

"Just look."

And with that, the two girls stared at the battle, at Ash, and was wondering why he's so emotionless, as well as Gardevoir.

"Poachers? What a pathetic bunch, you lot don't really know what to do in life and just decided to become some cruel poachers." Ash stated.

"Huh? This is our hobby! Get lost and find your mom kid." The leader replied smugly, and with that, Ash had enough.

His raven hair covering his eyes, the atmosphere got weirder and weirder by any second, even Diancie and Celebi was surprised at this sudden change.

But what caught their attention is Gardevoir, who seemed emitting some sort of strong energy.

"Wait, Ash doesn't have a Gardevoirite." Koharu stated.

"Does this mean..."

They just stared at the scene, Gardevoir is acting strange, but then suddenly, pink sakura leaves were surrounding her, as if it was blinding them, it is a torrent of blinding sakura leaves.

"Gardevoir, we have to save Meloetta, and in order to do that we have to get stronger! Stronger and stronger!" Ash's familiar chant was now called out, the sakura leaves is rapidly circulating around Gardevoir, Leaf and Koharu noticed the change of appearance even if it was clouded by the sakura leaves, even Diancie was surprised at this.

And as soon as the torrent died down, what's infront of them, shook their minds and eyes, it was no normal Gardevoir that was infront of them.

It's appearance is somewhat new to them, it has two long pink horns stucked out on her head, pink menacing beautiful eyes and a pair of small fairy wings on her back, her skirt is quite longer and more elegant than the normal Gardevoir, it isn't a skirt like the Mega Gardevoir, it's just longer, it's light blue appearance was mixed well between her body, a blade like bump on her hands is what made her more menacing.

And after that transformation, it brought chills to the poachers, and as well as the girls.

"It's Ash-Gardevoir."

To be continued...

Is Ash-Gardevoir okay? Sorry I'm bad in naming an appearance, I hope you guys have a wide imagination and just understand what I meant by that.
