Chapter 26

3rd Person's POV

A day have passed since the registration, we can see Ash, Leaf and Koharu having their meal at the pokemon center's cafeteria, they decided to walk out from their hotel so they can get some Viridian fresh air.

"Ash, who will you use in the semi finals?" Leaf suddenly asked while eating.

Ash halted there for a while and smiled.

"You have to wait and see Leaf." Ash said while chuckling, Koharu can't help it but smile at the connection they both have. Leaf just huffed at him and continued on eating.

"By the way Leaf, you should've joined the league." Ash stated, Leaf stopped eating.

"Why's that?" Leaf asked.

"Because I want to see how strong you are, I mean, we always had duo battles but we didn't have one on one battles since then." Ash explained while eating up his curry.

"That may be a good idea, but I just prefer cheering you on from the stands with Koharu, I still have a long way in defeating you, brother." Leaf calmly said and continued on eating.

"I doubt that." Ash said casually, that perked her up.

"What do you mean?" Leaf asked.

"I mean, we've been together for two months now and you've learned so much from me, back to that day when your Bulbasaur was snatched, and the time you wanted to join me on a journey, we're both newbies back then." Ash explained, just finished up his curry.

That made Koharu's interest peaked in, the span of days on when she joined the journey sure is already long for her, but she didn't even asked about their past, so maybe it's a good time they hear them out.

"Yeah but remember, I'm not a wild card and I don't have the badges." Leaf said in a matter of factly tone, that made Ash realize.

"That's true though, well then, I'm not going to push you through, but maybe soon in some future tournaments, you're gonna join with me, and I'll see what my little sister have learned." Ash said and smirked at her.

"I'm not little..." Leaf said and pouted, Koharu can't help but laugh at that, and Ash soon followed.

"What will you do after this tournament Ash?" Koharu suddenly asked, but Ash thought where this one is going, so he made the move first.

"You mean what WE will do after this tournament?" Ash said and smiled at her, Leaf quickly understood what he meant and gave Koharu her usual sly smile, Koharu flustered at that.

"The answer is simple Koharu, me, you, and Leaf will continue on travelling, meet lots and lots of new pokemons, and I promised N to make you into a fine pokemon trainer." Ash explained, which is surprisingly bold of him, even for Leaf, Koharu's blush redenned even further, Ash noticed this and can't help but ask.

"Are you sick? Do you have fever?" Ash asked, worried, maybe he said something wrong.

"N-N-No, I-I'm fine..." Koharu murmured, she saw Leaf giving her a smirk and can't help it but get embarassed.

"Look! Ash's here!" A familiar voice called out, they turned their attention at the source of the voice and turns out the Alola gang saw them, Sophocles was the first one to greet them.

"Hello Ash! You've arrived!" Sophocles exclaimed happily.

"I see that you have also arrived as well, where is Gladion?" Ash asked him, but someone answered the question.

"He went to stroll by himself, probably getting ready for the tournament." It was his mother, Lusamine, she walked towards the three followed by the others.

"Good to see you Ash, Leaf and Koharu." She greeted.

"Likewise, Ma'am Lusamine." The three replied and offered them some seats for them to occupy, they gladly accepted.

"So, five days and the tournament begins..." She trailed off.

"Oh yeah, you were one of the spectators together with the champions and the elite four." Leaf realized, Lusamine chuckled and nodded at her.

"If you want, you can join us in spectating, Koharu can also come too, since she's the daughter of the Galar professor." Lusamine invited them.

"That'll be much appreciated Ma'am Lusamine, since we badly needed one." Leaf said happily.

"So that also means we can meet the other champions and elite four?" Koharu asked, nervous and at the same time, excited, Lusamine nodded in response.

"Hey Ash, did you know? Someone just beat both the Hoenn and Sinnoh wild cards in an unofficial double battle." Mallow asked, he and Leaf tensed up a bit at that.

"Too bad we didn't knew who defeated them, that means you have yourself some new rivals." Lana said, Ash and Leaf loosen when they said they didn't knew who their opponents was.

"Y-Yeah, I hope I can battle them too." Was all he can manage to say, he didn't want to look suspicious, and Leaf was just silent there, Koharu can't help it but giggle at them, such dishonest siblings.

"Hey Ash, after this tournament, I want to battle you too!" Kiawe declared and stood up.

"You're on!" Ash said and smirked at him, they both have this rivalry friendship.

"Set those aside, I am here as the spectator of the tournament to say to you that there might be more wild cards than the previous tournaments held last year." Lusamine stated, he tensed up a bit again, trying not to be suspiscious.

"I-I see, I shall be more formidable to them then." He lied, obviously he's also one of them, but it can be a surprise for them during the semi finals.

"Yes you should, wild cards of the champions are strong, make sure you study them." Lusamine replied, though she should cheer on Gladion more than him, but she's confident that her wild card will do fine throughout the tournament.

"Uhh mom, Gladion has called us." Lillie interjected.

"He is? Very well then, we shall take our leave for now Ash, Leaf, Koharu." Lusamine said and slightly bowed at them, they sweatdropped at the gesture, and then the gang left.

"Weird that Ma'am Lusamine had those words for you Ash." Leaf said.

"But good thing we knew that all there are more wild cards joining this tournament though, I watched the last year's conference, I only saw Tobias, the Sinnoh wild card." Koharu said, that peaked up their attention.

"What's he like?" Leaf asked.

"That man had legendaries in his sleeves, just like Ash, I saw his Darkrai and Latias on the tournament." She answered.

"That is so cool, I want to meet him too!" Leaf exclaimed excitedly.

"Maybe he'll be here in this tournament, I mean this one is popular since all of the champions and elite four in every region will be here to spectate, so clearly this will be one of the biggest tournaments ever held." Ash explained.

"I agree, but who knows?" Leaf said.

As soon as they finished up their food, they stood up from their seats and thanked Nurse Joy for everything, before heading out to the battlefield to explore what's it like.

...

"Sir, we're close on opening the wormholes!" My agent reported, my smirk grew wider and wider.

"Locate the pintpoint of where it could possibly appear." I commanded them.

"Yes sir!" They replied and focused back on their computers, I waited patiently for their result and they didn't let me down.

"Sir, it looks like it could possibly show up at Viridian City, the Indigo Plateau." He responded as he finished up analyzing things.

"And it'll take two weeks before we will successfully open up a wormhole."

Bingo.

"Ghetsis, you know the drill, get yourself ready and those Beast Balls." I said to the Plasma leader.

"Very well sir." He replied and bowed, before walking out.

"Perfect, perfect! It won't be long now! I'll be taking over that tournament!" I declared and laughed as I stared at the holographic picture of the Indigo League stadium.

...

Two legendary beasts in a deep slumber, and it was interrupted by slight disturbance.

"Who dares to disturb the ultra space dimension."  Said the lion like pokemon with a huge steel mane on it's neck, it's quite large and menacing. It roared loudly in it's dimension.

And on the other part of the dimension.

"Disturbance, unnecessary disturbance, those who did this shall pay!"  Said also by a somewhat bat like pokemon, it's huge, beautiful crescent wings flapped strongly and gave off some dust particles, it screeched loudly, triggered at the disturbance.

With those two being awakened, they're finding a way to escape their dimension and check out the outside world.
