A week after that little announcement Kaithlyn did. The crew are now at a motivated hype to do some training. Not only for the Alolan and Master's league, but they also need to prepare themselves for an upcoming shit storm from the past. And that calls for intense training which Kaithlyn conducted for her brother and their friends.
____________________________________

The first day of training was... Quite energetic. Every one of the group was on the ground exhausted from Kaithlyn's heavy training methods.

Like what Lillie told them. Aether foundation has a wide variety of training simulations that can be bend to the training ground for your choosing. Whether the coldest and highest peak of Mt. Lanakila, or the harshest and hottest point of Wela volcano.

Kaithlyn despite her mischievous nature and sometimes childish attitude. She was different person in the training field. She was ruthless, not only she was a harsh trainer for her and their pokémon. But she also added combat training sessions for them which was enough for the girls to break down and cry and the guys to have a few of their bones broken. She says that trainer and pokémon needs to be tough together, in case they will need to have each others back.

Ash and Gary were once the hot heads and number one in starting a kid's fight in Pallet town, but they were nothing more than mere punching bags for Kaithlyn, they did put up a fight. Landing three blows at her before getting demolished by her in the end.

Gladion and Kiawe at first seem that they can take her training on. Unlike Ash and Gary, they can take hits from Kaithlyn and can hit back harder. But after she increased her difficulty in their training which they asked her for. They wished they should never asked her again.

Paul and Lana even though they had taken part in an actual fist fight before, fighting Kaithlyn look them to a whole new level of pain and difficulty and she was going easy on them.

Despite not taken part in her combat training session. Sophocles, Mallow and Lillie fainted due to being nervous and never take part in brawl before, and Sophocles for reasons.

Even their pokémon weren't spared from her wrath and the following days just got even worse.

She also taught Ash a thing or two on using his aura fluently. Generating Aura spheres and his desire to master Kaithlyn's aura drive ability which physically and mentally exhausted him and his pokémon who want to master it too.

At the week's end. The group eventually can keep up with her. She thought of doing it alot stricter and heavier but they slowly grow better and better.

They weren't like punching bags like the first three days. Even Lillie eventually learned hand-to-hand combat due to being a natural book worm and was helped by Ash in the combat stuff.

Mallow joined her and learned the same from Gary.

Paul being that kind of person hating to be the lagging leg even though he isn't. Trained after their session everyday. Using Electivire and Ursaring as his sparring partners. Lana was watching him without him knowing and eventually was motivated to be better herself and joined him.

Kiawe did the same as Paul when he was in his break time.

Sophocles dropped from the physical training stuff and just focus on training his pokémon and their moves which he eventually became good at. Even giving his friends a challenge sometimes.

Gladion was Kaithlyn's top student in both training and hand to hand combat.  

Eventually. Kaithlyn challenged every single one of them. But unlike before, they gladly volunteered, some were lucky to put her down on the matt which was Ash, Kiawe, Gladion, Paul and Lana. The rest weren't as lucky but they did better than the first time they had this with her.

They made her proud and she thought of giving them a reward.

____________________________________

Now, they are at the beach, enjoying the bright Alolan sun.

"Last one in the water in a rotten Eggxecute!" Gary announced with excitement, he was in his summer shorts and sun glasses on his head as he was dashing towards the water avoiding a g uy or two like hurdles.

"You're on!" Ash was in red and yellow swimming trunks with a lighting bolt semble at the sides.

Pikachu was on his shoulder with a bandanna on his head and a pair of sunglasses on his eyes.

Eevee was aswell, having rainbow bandana that was shaped to a ribbon to the side of her head. 

"Pika-pika!"

"Eva-vie!"

The two ran like a pair of kids in a race contest.

In this good weather, it is also a good time to go to the beach to hang out, party and loosen up some beaten muscles.  

Just a bit far from beach and chilling under a shade beside a large swimming pool and with a great view of beach was Gladion in an open shirt and some red and black shorts.

Beside him was Silvally resting, and laying back on a chair comfortably was Kaithlyn in a dark red two piece bikini, she wore a red open skirt wrapped around her waist with flame patterns as a design. A pair of sunglasses on, her mega necklace rested on her cleavage with her arms folder behind her head, showing off her top quite well.

Beside her was Gardevoir and Lucario meditating with Greninja, Infernape, Riolu and Delphox.

"I know that you said we came to the beach to have some training down. But seriously? The grand Hano resort is your choice of a training ground?" Gladion questioned not getting Kaithlyn's idea as the raven-haired girl sipped and enjoyed a berry juice she ordered.

She then let out a loud sigh of satisfaction as she turned to him.

"Oh, Just loosen up a little, Edge! We've been training in the Aether foundation's battle and training simulations for a week straight. Give the kiddies some time to loosen up!" She told him with a giggle.

"It was your idea to have the first training sessions to be one week you know. Not that I'm complaining."

Kaithlyn shrugged.

"Well that's for you. But they will need a break from training from time to time, we don't want them to be complaining to our ears and besides they've improved within that week, even your sister put up a great fight with me, they deserve this time to relax. But if it makes you feel better. Later tonight we'll have some battle training up so they won't slack off too much."

Gladion sighed.

"Fine, at least we still have training to be done." He commented as he lays back on the chair.

Kaithlyn then felt a group of people walking up to them.

"And the ladies are here!" Bonnie's voice called out as the two turned to them.

Bonnie was in a sky blue cycling shorts with a blue top bra that covered her chest with her hair tied to a bun.

Lana was in a navy blue swim suit that showed her back and belly and a pair of goggles on her head.

Paul had a tight magenta shirt that showed some bulk of his muscles which he gained and black swimming trunks.

Mallow tied her hair together in a ponytail with a Staryu ornament wrapped around her head and was in a lime green two piece bikini with red floral patterns.

And finally. Lillie in a cyan and white two piece bikini with a deem see though skirt wrapped around her waist and her favourite sun hat with sunglasses resting atop with a white flower.

Kaithlyn pulled up her sun glasses up and was stunned impressed by their beach attires.

"You guys are looking smoking hot on those outfits. Even thought of going on a men's magazine once?" She asked them but really it was just a joke.

The girls giggled as it quite normal for Kaithlyn to ask stuff like that to them.

"Where's Ash and Gary?" Mallow asked her noticing the two Kanto boys are missing.

Kaithlyn sighed and pointed her finger at the direction of the two.

"There. Like a pair of children at play." The girls turned to the direction she was pointing and saw the two Kanto teens made it to the beach as they then plunge down and decides on...

"SWIMMING CONTEST!"

Tired from the swimming they need to rest and fill up in a-

"EATING CONTEST!"

Full tanks and needs to expel some excess energy to a-

"SAND CASTLE BUILDING CONTEST!"

Ash and Gary don't need to, but they went on a-

"SUN TAN CONTEST!"

Mallow and Lillie sweat drop at their antics, but then again, from a far they were hotter than the sun in their revealed bodies which got the girls to steam.

"We-well, atleast they're having fun." Lillie said to Mallow as she nodded.

"You guys should get in there and have fun as well. I have a special training session tonight so make most of this break." She told them.

They talked amongst themselves and agreed with her.

"Alright! Hey Lillie, what do you say we show Ash your look?" Bonnie suggested. "It'll be a great time to show how hot you are."

Despite having a fine body, Lillie was nervous as wearing these kind of swim wear was new to her. And she felt she's being too flashy in them.

"I think I should join you. I want to show Gary and know what he thinks of mine." Mallow said curious to know what the boy thinks about her swim wear.

Having Mallow and not just Bonnie with her made Lillie decide to give it a shot and to know how Ash will react when he sees her.

"Well, alright then. But sis, no pushing, okay?" Lillie orders her.

"Sure." Bonnie said with a somewhat untrustworthy tone, Lillie felt she just told a shipping break wall.

With that, the three walked off leaving Paul and Lana with Kaithlyn and Gladion.

Paul was thinking on what he should do in their break from training. He thought of getting in some action with Ash and Gary but they were busy, Kaithlyn and Gladion weren't an option either nor the trainers around the beach as they were too weak for him.

"So what do you want to do?" Paul asked Lana. She had thought about it.

"Well, I just want to lay back on the water and relax, maybe practise some water type moves with Brionne and Dragonaire." Lana told him as she walks off. "You can come if you want."

Paul stood there for a moment and thought about and shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I don't have anything else to do." He said to himself. "Hey, wait up, Blue!" Paul called as he caught up and walked with her. Lana hid a smirk from him.

Kaithlyn giggled at them as she pulled down her shades and went to enjoy this day.

"Which ship is going to be official next?" She said out loud as Gladion heard that and sighed.

"Hope it won't be Lillie's. It's way too soon." Gladion replied with a grumble.

Kaithlyn giggled. "Then what do you say we set ours a sail later?" 

____________________________________

Meanwhile.

People around the were in a large circle, surrounding and watching a heated battle between two hot foreigners.

"Zztt... Time to see the fruits of your training, boys! Battle, start! Zztt." Rotom exclaimed.

"Get in there with Quick attack!" Ash shouted as his long time partner dashed at fast pace at his opponent which was the shiny Alola form Rattata Gary owned.

"Counter with Quick attack!"

The black mouse complied and dashed at Pikachu as the two mouse pokemon smashed their skulls at each other while trying to push each other off.

"Too close! Thunderbolt!" 

Gary grinned.

"Sucker punch go!"

Before Pikachu can generate electricity to zap the black mouse in his spot. He received a sneaky bite attack, forcing him back while cancelling his move.

Ash grinned impressed.

"Not bad, Gary."

Gary made a quick laugh with a smug. 

"Heh, you've seem nothing yet." Gary's eyes glowed blue as did Rattata's confusing Ash and Pikachu.

The next thing they know, Rattata blasted a dark energy beam at Pikachu catching him off guard. But Pikachu manage to bended back, narrowly missing it as it was only an inch away from his face.

Ash sighed in relief as Pikachu recomposed and whipped his forehead.

"Pika- aghhh!" Pikachu grunted feeling something smashed against his gut.

"What the!"

It wasn't done as an Iron tail smacked at Pikachu's face and was thrown far from where he stood thanks to Rattata using those attacks at him while his guard was down.

Ash came to realize how he was doing this effectively.

"Telepathy?"

"Ding, ding. Yup! Just something I picked up from Kaithlyn!" Gary explained as a thought bubble of Kaithlyn doing ✌ while smirking and winking at Ash. "Who would have though eavesdropping at your aura training would be helpful!"

Ash was impressed that Gary learned and somehow mastered that where he is still learning how keep his thoughts together while doing that. But he has something which he can say that Gary knows nothing about.

"Colour me impressed. Guess I should show you the fruit of out training too, ready Pikachu?"

Pikachu turned his head to Ash.

"Pi? pikacha! (Now? Haha, let's do it!)" He exclaimed and stood on his hind legs.

Ash and Pikachu close their eyes and put their arms on their sides hanging. Ash started to glow as a blue outline surrounded him, a light breeze blow as air circulated around Pikachu, he puts his paws infront of him and as if he was holding something as a small ball of electricity was formkng.

The people watching were spooked a bit as they feel a sort of energy and vibe radiating from them. They weren't afraid but was actually excited on what will happen next.

"Is he doing a Z-move? What pose are they doing?" A girl asked the boy beside him.

"Beats me. But I'm excited on what they're going to do next." He shrugged.

Gary raised an eyebrow on what he was playing at thought but was not waiting to find out.

"I don't know what aura trick you got under your sleeve. But I'm not going to stand here and find out. Rattata, Dark Pulse!"

At the same time. Pikachu finished and was holding a ball of blue electricity on his paws. He moved his body to the right in 145 degrees and reeled his arm back in a throwing position.

"Aura bolt!" Ash shouted while the same time throwing his hand forwards.

Pikachu did the same and threw the attack at Rattata as it closed in on him in a very fast pace. Gary panicked as Rattata was not done gathering enough energy for the attack. He thought fast of releasing it before the attack could hit Rattata to buy him a small time to escape or dodge it with Quick attack.

"Fire it now! Dodge it after!"

Rattata complied and blasted the ball of black energy straight at the blue ball of electricity as the moves collided. Rattata acted quickly and ran to the side to dodge the move, but Pikachu's attack forced it way at the dark pulse before homing in on Rattata, giving him no chance to react and was smacked clean by the attack.

A small explosion was made with Rattata was thrown in a rapid pace, passing over Gary and into a coconut tree. On impact, the tree shook as a coconut snapped off, falling on Rattata's head resulting for him to faint with swirly eyes.

After that. The people who watched burst into cheering and clapping for the winners.

"Alright! Way a go, Pikachu!"

"Pika pika!" He celebrated with Ash as Eevee ran to him.

"Evei-vi! (That was an awesome battle, Bolt!)" She said to him as Pikachu scratch his head. Eevee went to rub her cheeks at Pikachu's, sending a small charge of electricity to her yet she wasn't affected by it.

Ash smiled at the two as he notice Gary walking up to him.

"Heh, good battle, Ashy-boy. You still got it." Gary told him.

"I never lose it, man." Ash responded.

"Yeah, but still second to me that is." He countered but stuck him hand out to Ash. Ash let Gary slip with his arrogance for now and accept his hand and shook it.

The crowd cheered for them in putting up a great battle and a display of sports. While the applause was going on. They notice that two or three claps were alot harder and near them. They turned to the directions of the claps and they were approach by lovely ladies.

"Good sport there, Gare-bear." Mallow told him as she clapped.

"Hey, Mal."

Ash noticed Bonnie and behind her with her hands on Bonnie's shoulders was Lillie.

"Lillie too." Ash said causing Lillie to feel nervous near him in her new beach attire.

Bonnie grinned and puts her foot between her feet and pushed her sister causing her to trip face first to the sand.

"Oops..."

"Bonnie!" Lillie yelled at Bonnie as she shrugged with a thought why Ash as didn't caught her.

Lillie shook the sand off her and noticed her hat was off her head, she looks around until someone put it back.

"Heh, let me do it." Ash said as he caught Lillie's hat before she fell.

"Here you go."

He puts it back on her head and helped her get up. Lillie's face lit up and showing signs of getting nervous.

"So... Uh... W-what do you think, Ash?" Lillie asked him, referring to her swim suit.

Ash blinked as his eyes went through but kept his eyes off some parts of her. There was one thing though. She looks really elegant in white swim ware.

"Uh... Is stunning a great answer?"

Lillie let out a quiet yelp as her face flared red at his comment.

"Re-really?"

"Of course, you always look elegant in white." Ash said with a smile as Lillie's face felt it was on fire.

"Th-thank you. I'm glad you like it."

That sounded silly to Bonnie as her face had the shipping grin.

"I don't think that's even the right answer, Lillie." Mallow commented.

Bonnie sighed and shrugged. "Good grief. And here I though the dense wall was down."

"I heard that Bonnie. And it's true. Your big sis is beautiful." 

Uh... Bonnie shouldn't have brought this up but.

"Better than Serene?-- Oops." She smacked her mouth realizing she said without thought as it brought an eerie silence to them after.

Ash flinched as Lillie, Gary, and Mallow froze hearing a traitor's name. And it's the bitch that dumped Ash especially.

Pikachu had a cross look hearing that name and now he wishes to zap one of them for what they did.

"Oh... Sorry, Ash. I didn't mean to-"

"It's fine. I'm over with her anyway." He calmly said confusing them as he continues.

"What she said to me back there was enough to tell me that what we had before was nothing more than her way of bitching around." He said with disgust.

Gary nodded.

"Yeah, no need to think of the past, Ash." Gary said. "Live in the present and work for your future is my motto, you could use that right now."

That sounded like a quote from the internet to Ash if he wasn't mistaken.

"Ha-ha. What's that? A quote you got in the internet?"

"Maybe. What is it to you? I love what it means." Gary laugh as Ash chuckled.

"If you're going to give advice. Make sure it's original to make meaningful."

"Well, at least I can give you advice you would need." Gary countered.

"Oh yeah? Give one that is yours then." He demanded Gary.

Gary didn't say a word as a smile crept on his face knowing he can't answer him.

"See? Ha-ha." Ash laughs making Gary laugh.  

Lillie smiled on how fast Ash turned the atmosphere back to his liking. One other thing she likes about him. How he turns and overcomes bad stuff that might or just occurred.

Mallow decided to pitch in on their talk.

"Right, right. Well, I think you guys need to rest up pokemon at the center. Especially that Rattata of yours Gary." She said to Gary directly.

"Yeah. I could also use a drink after that battle..." A thought then came to Gary and whispered it to Mallow as she nodded liking his plan.

"Hey Ashy, Lillie. Care to join Mallow and me on a date? My I owe you for winning, so my treat." He offered to them.

The raven haired teen blinked and soon smiled liking Gary's idea and turned to the lovely blonde girl beside him.  

"Well, what's your call, Lillie?"

Lillie yelp in his sudden question.

"Um... A date? Well, sure, anywhere is fine as long as we are with our friends." Lillie said to him, expressing her joy that the guy she likes is asking her out.

Bonnie had a smirk and thought. "Primary shipping task: Is setting sail."

"Guys, if you two get any sweeter, you might attract Dorants. Come on, Mallow and Gary already left." Bonnie said to them and had Pikachu and Eevee with her to let her sister and Ash have some lone time later on.

Ash and Lillie nodded as the raven haired teen took Lillie's hand and run off passing by Gary and Mallow with Lillie almost stumbling but she got her footing back.

(Insert anime boy super strength.)

Ash grinned as he suddenly carries Lillie bridal style and makes a dash for it.

"You're paying double once I beat you in a BRIDAL CARRY CONTEST, Gare-bare!" Ash yelled passing by them as the girl he was carrying let out an enjoying scream.

Being his rival. Gary had no plan on backing down. He looks at Mallow as the girl stared at him before she was scooped up bridal style by the Kanto teen.

"Wait, Gary-"

"Challenge accepted Ashy-boy! Mal hold on tight!" As he boast up his legs and burst running after Ash and Lillie as Mallow too screamed with enjoyment.

Bonnie sweat dropped. "Sooo... Am I the one right now that should say they're acting like kids? How cute..."

Pikachu, Eevee and Dedennei nodded.

She sighed.

"What do you guys say we head for a Malasada shop? I got some allowance left and I want to try some. Care to join me?" Bonnie suggested to them as Pikachu, Eevee and Dedennie likes the idea. Bonnie won't be surprise if Hau will be there as she was told how he loves Malasadas.

Kalos Pokemon league.

In the field. Calem and his Greninja was in battle with a veteran trainer who challenged his league and defeated his elites. But now, this veteran trainer was in the mercy of this young yet strong battler who wiped out five of his pokemon with the champion's black Greninja.

Just in the sidelines. Serena was standing by as she cheered her boyfriend on, beside her was a new Braixen Calem caught for her, only this one didn't have the blonde fur but ash gray fur and this one look like the sassy type.

"Tsk. What a disappointment. And here I though his rivals would be a challenge." He mocked the trainer he was up against. "Shade, let's get this over it and use Night slash."

The shiny form of Greninja vanished upon dashing a few feet. Their opponents panicked as the trainer's Charizard sharpened his senses as he feels a shiver at his back.

Greninja reappeared with a purple blade in hand. Alain quickly let out a command.

"Thunder punch!"

Charizard swings his body around as well as his right arm folded with his fist crackling with electricity.

Greninja vanished again, dodging the attack as the dragon nearly fell down due to punching thin air.

Grennja appears again this time with six clones surrounding the dragon.

"Dragon tail, go!"

Charizard powers his tail with dragon energy and makes a clockwise swing, hitting the Greninja and revealed that they're all fakes.

Charizard anticipated in his mind that the frog will appear at his back or have some clone tricks again. He did it without command and slashed the air in a 180 degree swing, but he hit nothing.

In front of him. Greninja appears and slashes the dragon's belly with a Night slash as it forced Charizard back.

In frustration. Charizard unleashes searing flames at the frog but he was gone yet again. Charizard was about to recompose only to feel a sharp stab of pain on his back as he growled in pain.

"You're pathetically weak." Shade told the Kanto fire starter with a low voice.

"Shake him off Charizard!" Alain cried as his partner thrashed about to get the black frog off him.

"Use Flamethrower then!"

"You're boring. Wonder how my brother loss against you... Water Shuriken."

The Ninja frog jumped skywards doing a back flip while reaching to his thighs to do the water based move.

While Charizard gathered blue flames on his mouth and unleashed it at the frog.

With swift and precise movement. Greninja hurls a dozen of dark water stars at the attack, resulting in a puff of steam to appear, almost like a cloud. Out of the cloud, another wave of shurikens zeroes in on Charizard in a rapid pace, each dealing loads of damage while pushing the black dragon back.

As the onslaught of shurikens stopped. Charizard received several cut marks on his body and was panting badly. A moment later he reverts back to his normal form as he toppled over in exhaustion.

The referee went to inspect the downed dragon.

"Charizard is unable to battle. Greninja is the winner which means Calem has successfully defended his tittle!"

The people that manage to watch the battle roared in cheer. Serene was cheering her boyfriend's name with "I love you".

Alain sighed and returned his partner and glares at the trainer who claims as Ash's older brother.

Calem went to return Greninja and looks at Alain. He knows who's this guy is and was disappointed in his performance in battle.

"You're the guy that kicked my bother's ass in the Kalos last year, right? But I came to wonder how a so called veteran like you beat him. You're not that strong after all." Calem said. He admits that even though his brother is gone now. He, and only he stood up to Calem and Greninja in battle, even to the point showing him mercy which he still can't get over with.

Alain grunted. "Ash never mentioned to me that he had a sibling. However, he would never say this to an opponent he defeated, which makes me me doubt whether you guys are related... You guys aren't alike." He said with a hiss in the end.

Calem just kept a straight look at Alain as he turns around and walks away.

There is a big difference between him and Ash indeed, both personalities and traits as a trainer. Ash was the humble kind and accepts a lose nobly, while Calem thrives at being better than anyone else, and considers those beneath him, incompetent. 

Until someone out of that tier, beat some ego out of him.

"Congratulation, baby!" Serena shouted as she runs over to him with a hug which turns to a kiss. Many people let their phones and cameras out and started to take pictures, some were parts of the media and made use of this moment.

After 2 or so minutes, the two broke off before the crowd, mainly the media trampled over the guards and wanted their views, especially the one Pokémon win by the young Kalos champion.

A news guy of Kalos Time News squeezed himself through the crowd and pointed a mic at the young Kalos champion. "Sir. Calem X. Ketchum, what can you say about this successful tittle defence you pulled off with one pokemon!"

The others wanted that question to be answered as well as they pointed their mics at him.

"All I can say that as long as I'm alive, no one can take the champion title from me." He replied. Some people talked amongst themselves after his reply as some have dislikes to it.

One nodded and pitch her question.

"So you're saying you're unbeatable?"

"Do you have doubts?" Serena answered that for him which Calem didn't like. 

"Get him the greatest trainer you know so he and my Calem can duke it out and for that question to be answered." Serena replied with sass in her tone.

Receiving that reply. The reporters had an inching thought in their mind.

"Then what about Ash Ketchum?"

Serena and Calem froze hearing that name.

"He's arguably one of the non-champion but skilled battlers around and probably the best with his Greninja and other ace pokemon. You two would make a great match in battle. And who knows, maybe he can say a word or two about you boasting being unbeatable."

Calem thought for a while on how to answer that without getting unwanted info out.

Serena's eye brow ticked as Calem kept a straight look.

"Sad to say it won't happen though, but-"

"Then why did you brought that up! Don't you have any respect! Talking about a dead person and in front of his brother even!" Serena said almost yelling.

Some news reporters step back a little.

Serena was about to continue until Calem raised his hand infront of his girlfriend for her to back off.

"Um..."

"My brother was a skilled battler indeed. I say this because we had a battle, before..." He pause while biting his lip. "He was murdered."

"And what you said about him saying something or questioning me about being unbeatable. Perhaps, he could answer that. If he's still around." He said as Serena notice there was emotion in his tone when he said that.

She look in surprise and shock as what he said was partially true, apart from what they did to Ash. She only sighed as he didn't say any further and walks off.

"W-wait Champion Calem! I still got-"

Reporters tried to wedge and squeeze through, but guards  blocked them from doing so.

"Sorry, that's all the views for now. Kindly please make your way to the exit, please." As Guards prevented and pushed the pesty reporters away as two escorted the Queen and Champ to the back.

Serena told the guards that their fine to leave them alone and even demanded this as she wants Calem to be alone with her for a little talk.

"(Sigh) what was that all about? You nearly blown out secret to them." Serena said to Calem as his face was zoning out.

"Calem?"

Calem shook his head and blinked a few times before turning to the honey blonde.

"Yeah?"

"I said you nearly gave away out secret, about Ash."

Calem look infront and took awhile before he answered her.

"Oh... Of course I won't say that to them." He said but he sounded unsure.

Serena did not dwell on this as he must have stress about that report.

"But I wonder. Why gave Ash that comment being a great battler. Sure, he was and he nearly beat you but he's gone now and forever be a loser-" Serena wanted to continue but was cut short by Calem glaring at her.

"Babe. I don't want to hear his name ever... But don't you call him a loser. Ketchums are winners. Whether they are runt in the litter." Calem told her with some aggression.

"Hey, what's with you? You're acting strange about your brother."

Calem kept a straight look at her before stomping off leaving the honey blonde queen of Kalos confused.

Unova region, Lostlorn forest.

"Arm thrust go!" A familiar Pignite throws an arm toward followed by another until turning into a rapid repeat of blows at Sawk and pushing him back while he has his arms covering him.

"Tch! Sawk, use Counter now!" Stephon shouted.
(A/N: did I get his name right?)

Sawk jumps back a few feet away and leaps back at Pignite with his arm glowing red.

"Flamecharge!" Trip commanded while snapping his finger as the fire pig pokemon ignites his body and rams towards Sawk.

The karate pokemon's fist meets the Flamecharge trying to over power it with force but it resulted in a standstill.

"Dynamic punch, go!"

Sawk kept his right hand forward to hold Pignite in place as his left hand glowed bright orange. He thrust it forward but was blocked by Pignite's hooves.

Sawk attempted with his right but end up with the same result.

"If that won't work then finish him off with Zen Headbutt!" Stephon grinned as Pignite did endure some strong attacks a while a go. This attack with finish the job he thought.

Sawk focus his mind and power on his skull. He then smashes it at Pignites's as the psyche prevented from fire getting to his eyes. 

Being part fighting type. Pignite felt his head vibrate as well as pain. He gritted his teeth as the flames around him became intense and hotter that Sawk was sweating badly.

The fire then turned brighter and bigger and eventually was absorbed surprising Trip.

As the fire turned down. Sawk was faced to face with a big bulk of black belly fur with big tusk and fire for a beard.

It's hooves/claws crushed Sawk's at the Karate pokemon winced with pain.

"Booar!" It roared. Trip grinned as he manage to evolve Ash's former Pokémon in no more than a week where it took him to evolve him once in his entire travel through Unova. 
 
All the more reason why to call himself the greatness non-champion trainer ever.

"That's right! Show him your new power!"

Emboar pressured Sawk down as the karate pokemon barely can hold up to him and was put to his knees easily. Sawk's face was well written with pain.

"Sawk use Bulk up!" Stephon yelled desperately as Sawk's muscles grew raising his power but was not enough to handle Emboar's

Trip grinned.

"I think Sawk has enough pain for one day. Emboar. Kindly put him to rest with Hammer Fling." Trip ordered.

Emboar lets go of Sawk's crushed hands and pins him down with his left massive hand that was enough to break a rib or two on Sawk. Emboar grins and reels his right arm glowing. Sawk's eyes widened and shook his head rapidly, pleading him not to do it but that was no avail as the mega fire pig's fist meets Sawk's to head with enough force to shook the ground beneath him.

He then picks up the half conscious karate pokemon as his trainer only watches him as Stephon reach for his pokeball but was off his hand due to him panicking.

"Oh crap. Trip, that enough, man!" Stephon cried but it was ignored by the blonde trainer as Emboar flings Sawk to a big tree as the force was enough to shake it as Sawk slides down unconscious and heavily injured.

"Sawk!" Stephon runs over to him and reach for an oran berry on his poket and feeds it to him.

He then turns to the blonde Unova trainer.

"Hey Trip! That was going way too far!" Stephon yelled at him but Trip only smirked at him.

"Its not my fault that Emboar was too much for Sawk. But I think you should be thanking me, Stephon. Now you know how weak you are. That just means you need to try harder to be stronger... But don't expect to win against me." He smugly said and returned Emboar.

Trip took in possession of Ash's strong pokemon. He was pissed that Gary took the aces but didn't know that they weren't planning to join the traitor pokemon. He had high aims to atleast have Infernape and Sceptile or the powerhouse Charizard after hearing from Brock how champion level strong they are. But now that they're not available, he took Pigbite now an Emboar. Oshawott which recently evolved to a Dewott and Scarggy.

Max snipped off Heracross after hearing how he went toe to toe with a Darkrai. Snorlax and the remaining Hoenn team.

Misty took the majority of Ash's water types while Brock took the only Rock type being Boldore. The rest were distributed to their friends.

"Hmm... Wonder how the loser's big brother is doing? Would have loved to mop the floor with him right now." Trip said out loud.

"I think battling him with the level you are in is still not enough, Trip."

The males heard that familiar female voice at a tree top as Iris appears hanging upsidedown on a tree branch. Her dragon partner, Axew, now a Fraxure appeared out of her long bushy hair.

"And who are you to tell me that I'm no match for that Ketchum, Ms. Tarzan?" He mocked her but Iris just giggled.

"Well. Let's just say that you have a hard time with Ash and loss against him before. What makes you think battling his big brother won't have the same result?" She asked him. "By using his younger brother's pokemon against him? I think not."

Trip chuckled.

"Huh, you remember that Ash is a loser. And that loser just have the Kalos champ eat dirt with mercy, right? That means that he's just as weak as Ash."

Stephon however can't get his logic in his explanation.

"But you still loss against Ash." Iris countered with a taunt as Trip's eye brow ticked but kept his smirk up.

"How about you just warm me up right now? You're actually one of the trainers I want to add in my winning spree list, and fatass there insulted me for being way too weak and giving me an easy win just now."

Stephon didn't took that insult lightly as it got him to snap.

"Are you looking a fist fight, Wires!"

Trip glares at him with squinted eyes and a dark cruel smirk which gave Stephon shivers.

"Anytime, anyplace fatass. But I think that Sawk might need medical treatment and attention right about now. I mean, if you don't want him to die with a burn." Trip reminded him as Stephon returned Sawk and glares at Trip before running off.

Iris throws herself up, doing a flip before landing safely and walks up to Trip.

"I saw that you wrecked him and Sawk with one Ash's former pokemon... But was it necessary that you broke Sawk's ribs? I heard them break even when I was resting on the tree." Iris said.

Trip shrugged his shoulders and could care less about it. What was trash in his eyes will always be trash, regardless his relationships with them.

"Just letting him know that there's no one that can stand up to me in a battle. But enough chit chat about me, beauty. How was the errand I sent you to the old gizzard Alder?" He asked Iris.

Iris giggled and gives him a file with the Pokemon Leagues Association's name on it.

"He said that if you can beat his elites and at least three of his pokemon. He'll let us join the Master's league Tournament as Unova's other representative. But we'll be on our own when the Tournament's elimination round where only 12 teams will remain and battle it out for the top prize." She explained to him as Trip smirked while reading through the file.

"Atleast three? Why? Is he that scared of losing his tittle to me? And I'm sure we'll make it pass the elimination rounds. I'll bet that winning this tournament will be a breeze anyway."

Iris giggles and approaches him only an inch away. "I love that over confident talk that has something to show. Unlike bull talk what that kid used to say."

Trip knows what she's playing at and leans towards her for the kiss. Iris kiss back fiercely.
(A/N: Yeah. I had them to be like this.)

They broke of as thin line of saliva connected them.

"But I hope what you are saying isn't just talk as well."

Trip giggles.

"Oh, I'll do more than saying bull talk, beauty. I'll do what the loser only dreamt of: To be the very best. Like no one ever was."

Iris giggles in response.

Trip thought that Ash will be rolling around his grave in frustration when he becomes the pokemon master. 

"Wait til the strongest are dethroned. Because the real master will be declared soon." Trip smirked as Iris resumed the kiss.

____________________________________

Alola, Grand Hano beach resort.

At this grand resort's pokemon center. Ash and Lillie along with Gary and Mallow are up waiting on a table with drinks as they waited for their pokemon to get fully healed and rested.

Although, Bonnie was not around as she told these teens that she's going to get some Malasadas along with Pikachu and Eevee but even so. It worried her sister, Lillie about her being out on her own.

Somewhere around crowds of people on the beach was Paul was under some shades with four chairs as he took one to rest on to have the day pass him by and wait for the next training session will come around.

He was bored. Not having anyone to battle tires him as all he was doing to entertain himself was counting Wingulls flying by while keeping eye on Lana's stuff being her towel and clothes and any girl stuff she has stuffed on her bag. He was also watching the blue haired girl in her own training with Brionne and Dragonair. 

"Brionne, use Aqua jet! Dragonair, counter with Dragon tail!"

Brionne zooms in on Dragonaire as she powers her tail up and whips it at Brionne, sending the Pop star pokemon back.

"Alright. Fire away with Ice beam! Dragonair, counter that with Aqua tail!"

The pokemon did what they were told as the Aqua tail Dragonair had was solid thanks to it getting freeze by Ice beam. Lana then told her to use the ice on her tail as a mace and use Slam at Brionne to shatter it but was end up getting dodged but it got the ices to shatter.

Brionne followed up with an Aqua jet but was stopped thanks to Dragonair using Dragon breathe.

Paul keeps watch while observing her in battle until deciding to get some shut eye.

"Yo, yo, you fool! Got balls to sit at our seat, fucker!" A guys with red spiky hair, no older than Paul yelled and was accompanied by three more. They were in the same uniform being a black singlet, black shorts, and bandanas wrapped around their mouth.

That alone triggered Paul. Not only for disturbing his sleep but also for the insult which he didn't take lightly.

"What you say to me?" He said with a growl.

This time a chubby tall guy told him.

"He said you got balls in taking our seats, stupid!"

Paul felt like punching him. But with people around. It's best not to start trouble. And these guys seem to be locals.

"Look. If these are your seats. Then I'm sorry. You can have them back if you want." He said still having the touch tone. He reaches for Lana's stuff until it was kicked away by another guy.

"That's not how to say sorry to us. Idiot!"

Paul was extending his patience.

"You know, it's bad to call people in bad names. You might get hurt if you messed with a wrong person." He growled getting annoyed just explaining it to him.

"You lookin' for a fight, Plum-head!"

Lana's ear twitch as she heard that even in a distance.

"Look. I already said I was sorry for crashing in on your seats. I don't want any trouble, so back off." He said it more like a warning.

He reaches for Lana's stuff again but this time a green haired grunt with shades snatched it.

Paul sighed and showing signs that he was getting frustrated.

"Give that back." Paul demanded him.

"Not until you say sorry!" The chubby one said.

"Jeez, what is it with you guys in the saying sorry stuff?"

"Do you even know who are you talkin' to, punk!"

Paul looks away as a sign of disrespect while shrugging his shoulders.

"Could care less what shit gang you're part of. Just hand over my stuff!" He replied to the grunt's question.

"We're team Skull, punk. Losers like you should show some respect!"

"Team what now?" Paul doesn't know the team these guys are part of and could care less about it.

All four grunts got around him as they have a grin on.

"Yo, I repeat. You got balls to talk like that to our team, punk!" The chubby one cracked his knuckles.

"You know that you're in our turf, punk. I suggest you to drop the tough guy act and say sorry in a more polite and sincere way." A bulkier guy told him.

"My ass, as if I'll say it like that!" Paul said with a hiss.

"Yeah? Guess my foot will have your ass say it then!" The bulkier grunt from behind Paul wanted to kick him until the Sinnoh native teen twirls around and sucker punches him to the face and knocking him back. That punch was enough to knock his lights out though. Shocking the others.

"Whoa the! Do you got a death wish or something?!" A grunt stuttered a bit.

"What about you?" Paul had a sadistic look on as he cracks his hands.

Things will probably go out of hand soon if this keeps up. And Paul was in his last nerve of patience with them.

"What's going on here, Plum-head... Oh, its just Team Skull." Lana's voice called out with an unamused tone in the end.

Paul grumbled as the remaining skull grunts turned to here.

"You know them, Blue?" He said and notice the grunt were a bit sweating seeing her.

"Unfortunately, yes." Lana replied to him.

"Crap, bro. It's a trial captain!" The chubby grunt told the others.

Lana narrowed her vision at the grunts before walking over to one and snatch her bag out of his hand and walks off.

She stop for a moment before turning to Paul.

"I'm thirsty, Paul. Let's head to the juice bar in the Pokémon center for a drink." She told him with demand.

She has her stuff back so Paul just went with her, leaving the grunts standing awkwardly.

Realizing they were ignored, they ran in front of them.

"Yo! Don't you turn your backs on us yo! And you owe us a sorry for knocking out our bro!" One of the grunts yelled at them while pointing his finger at Paul while the other two backed him up.

Lana looks at Paul and saw he had an annoyed look.

Lana gives a long sigh before turning to the grunts.

"Well. I'm the one that's asking a sorry for what this idiot did to you. So kindly move out of the way, before he drops a bomb at you." Lana warned them.

Stupidly, these grunts took it as an insult as they reach for their pokeballs.

"Yo, we don't take orders from a lame trial captain like you. And don't act tough because you got your boyfriend with you!" The spiky red haired grunt yelled and releasing his Magmar.

The chubby grunt let out his Alolan Muk as the last one with a Mareanie.

Lana's face flare up hearing that grunt yelling Paul as her boyfriend.

"Make's me wish the twins were here right now." Paul teased her as Lana glares at him.

"You owe me a Sitrus and Mango shake later at the juice bar for that, Plum-head." Lana told him.

Paul chuckles in response and let Electivire out, Lana had Brionne.

"Mareani, use Spike cannon!"

"Sludge bomb, Muk!"

"Lit them with Flameburst, Magmar!"

"You two. Hydro-Electric storm!" Lana and Paul said in sync.

Brionne burst a pressurized water stream as Electivire backs it up with Thunder to do that special move as it easily pushes through their opponents' moves.

The grunts panicked and forgot to follow up command their Pokémon to do something as the attack knocked them up and send them flying across the sky and disappearing in the distance. Paul and Lana had this feeling the sight was familiar somehow.

Brionne high fives Electivire after pulling of that move again and even doing it better.

The tee s shrugged that feeling about the skulls grunts blasting off being familiar to them and decide to walk off.

"I'll say this once, Blue. We make a great team." Paul said as Lana giggles.

"You can say that again."

Elsewhere.

Somewhere around the resort was a Malasada shop. Bonnie enters with Pikachu, Eevee and Dedennie, making the bells of the door's entrance to ring and gaining the attention of the staff which she didn't notice.

Bonnie looks around for a particular someone, but strategy. He wasn't here. Bonnie shrugs that thought off and walks to the counter.

"Morning, ma'am. How may I help you?" The Lady in the counter greeted Bonnie.

"Morning. Um... Do you have any Malasadas for pokemon?" She asked her.

"Yes ma'am, we do. In fact, Malasadas is a treat for both trainers and pokemon. Would you like a menu for you to choose from?"

Bonnie shook her head.

"Well, since it's good for people and Pokémon. Get me these Pecha and Rawst berry Malasadas for four, please."

The Lady bowed.

"Will do ma'am." She answered and did her job. She gives the bag to Bonnie as she bows to her as the young lady walks off.

Upon exiting the building. Bonnie bumps into someone as she fells backwards.

"Aw! Hey watch where you're going... Twerp!" A familiar female voice called. Bonnie reels up and had an annoyed look seeing these goons. Pikachu and Dedennie went on a defensive stance as Eevee stayed put.

"Team Rocket? Not you again." She said with an unamused tone.

James heard Jessie calling out Twerp as he comes to scene after.

"You're right. It is one of the twerps, Jessie. But why is she alone? And I don't see the Twerp troop anywhere." He said as he looks from left to right.

"Yo, it doesn't matter. She's all alone with an Eevee and that Twerp's Pikachu! I'd say let's make us of this opportunity to finally catch them!" Meowth said and was pumped up about catching the electric mouse.

"Indeed." James agreed.

"Woaaaaa-buffet!"

"What are you guys doing here?!" Bonnie demanded them. She then knows what was coming up next.

Team rocket removes their casual clothing and got into their uniforms.

"Prepare for trouble, we heard you whine!"

"And make that double, so do that louder, it's fine."

"To protect the world from-" they were cut off noticing Bonnie wasn't in here place anymore but was walking off casually.

"I don't have time for this shit. Come on guys let's go." She told them as Pikachu and the rest agreed. They were tired of dealing with these annoying goons anyway.

Team Rocket had their jaws hanging and was standing there awkwardly. As they realize they just ignored, this got on Jessie's nerve as she runs in front of her.

"Hey watch you're language, little lady. And have your brother taught you that it's rude to turn your back on people while they're talking?!" Jessie cackled away as Bonnie wore the same look as before but winced when she said brother. And she knows this bimbo was referring to Clemont.

"I don't got time for this, go bother someone else for once." Bonnie said with a hiss and walks pass her.

Bonnie had a pokéball out just in case they decide to make things rowdier.

"Well, let us teach you that lesson then! Seviper, Gourgeist, Mimikyu, battle time!" Jessie released her pokemon as James followed up by releasing his Mareanie, Inkay and Amoonguss.

"Not even tough ol' Pikachu can take them all on!" Meowth said confidently but cringe when he felt Mimikyu's angry presence towards Pikachu behind him.

Pikachu, Eevee and Dedennie confronted them as the two electric types discharged electricity on their fur. Eevee was growling at their opponents.

People on the streets surrounded them as they knew a battle was about to erupt. Some called the police as they have concern for the little girl that was up against grown adults and strong looking pokemon.

"I will say this. You guys annoyed me from the first time we met in Kalos. I'll make sure you'll be blasting off far from Alola after this." Bonnie said to them as she tosses a pokeball from her hand releasing the pokemon inside.

The light slowly materialize in the air and gradually grew bigger almost over shadowing them. It landed behind Bonnie with a loud thud as it made a monstrous roar as it made the cars around them to go haywire and was heard a mile away.

Meanwhile.

In the pokemon center where Ash and the others were staying to rest, they heard that faint roar but it started the people inside and eben got the people on the streets to turn their heads to that direction. Ash can tell it's no pokemon he knows of, and no existing Pokémon today that is capable to roar that loud. Lillie was the first to stand as her big sister instincts to find her younger sister kicks in. 

"We need to find Bonnie!" Lillie said with worry that her sister in caught up in this.

Ash, Gary and Mallow stood up and nodded agreeing to her as they made their way outside and followed to where that roar was.

Team Rocket's hearts almost jumped in fear as this pokemon was huge. It was reptilian in appearance and bipedal with two small arms but equipped with sharp claws. It towered over them, almost standing in 8'2.4"(2.50m) tall with tough maroon scales to reinforce it's body. A enormous jaw with a set serrated monstrous teeth that can chew a auto mobile in half as if it were paper. It had murky cold looking black eyes and a gold crown on it's head that makes it look like a king.

In the sight of it. Team Rocket's pokemon backed off in fear for it as Pikachu's jaw dropped with Eevee hiding behind him. Dedennie only stood there and looks at the bulk with a smile.

Bonnie had her arms folded as her hair partially covered her eyes as she was smiling.

"Team Rocket, I would like you to meet, Terence. Terence, meet your chew toys." Bonnie told the massive fossil behind her as it glared at Team Rocket before having Bonnie ride on his head.

The people around stood astounded in the sight of massive fossil that once ruled this world during its time. And this little girl is in complete command over it.

"Ha-how did you." Jessie stuttered terrified of it.

"I'm sure you know him. He knows you well you know." Bonnie told them as they recalled. James was the first to remember him.

"Aha! That's the Tyrunt we tried to steal back in Kalos!" He called and pointed.

Bonnie giggles in response to yes.

"Very well, we'll take that fossil pokemon and deliver it to the boss." Jessie said, confident that they can take it down as they got numbers on their side.

"Think of the promotion we'll get once we hand that colossal fossil over to him." James added.

Meowth was nowhere in sight though.

"Alrighty. Seviper, use Haze attack! Gourgeist, Mimikyu, you use Shadow ball!"

"Okay, Inkay, use Psybeam. Mareanie, Amoonguss, Sludge bomb!" James followed up as the attacks went straight to the large target.

"Earth's power, go!"

Tyrantrum raised his massive foot and smashes it back, sending a shockwave that blows his opponents' moves in multiple directions but no bystander got hit by them.

"Inkay, use Light screen!" James called as he notice the effect of the shockwave was not done and was heading towards them. Inkay goes up front and raised his tentacles as a pinkish screen appears over them but was barely holding the attack off as the force shatters the screen and Inkay flying backwards to a wall where he fainted on impact. 

James jaw dropped in shock. He returned Inkay and thanked him.

"Ugh, fine! Seviper, use Poison tail! Mimikyu, Shadow claw!" Jessie called as the three did what they were told. Seviper powers his tail with toxins whereas Mimikyu's eye gleamed in a yellow colour as rake like claws appeared from it's back. 

Two range attacks came from both sides as Seviper and Mimikyu were coming at the center.

Bonnie was surprised as she underestimated these goons, they've seem to have gotten better since the last time she saw them.

Pikachu and Eevee thought of battling Saviper and Mimikyu as the Kanto native pokemon nodded at each other.

Seviper was only a meter or two away from Tyrantrum before he was stopped in his tracks by a lumpy ball of darkness knocking him back as Eevee landed and growled at him.

Mimikyu had the pleasure to be intercepted by his hated rival as the two then clashed with Wood hammer and Iron tail.

"Terence, back them up with Dragon Pulse!" Bonnie started.

"Not happening Twerpet! Lovely Gourgeist, shut him up with Grass knot!" Jessie shouted with confidence.

Tyrantrum was about to fire the dragon type move until the leaves on bushes and trees merged together and wraps around his jaw shutting him up.

"Now's my chance. Mareanie, use Sludge bomb. Amoonguss ol' chap, you use Solar beam!"

"And use Seed Bomb, lovely Gourgeist!"

With the intense sun raise of Alola, the Solar beam was done quickly as Amoonguss unleashes the grass type move, Mareanie and Gourgeist follows up with a barrage of toxic balls sludge and round seeds at Tyrantrum.

Bonnie panicked and forgot to command her pokemon as the attacks made contact with Dispute pokemon's belly as it threw Bonnie off his head as the girl was about to fall on the cemented hard street until someone caught her being a tall blonde teen and was accompanied by a girl with raven haired with scarlet coloured streaked hair.

"Gladion! Sister Kaith!" Bonnie cried i  relief as they nodded at her.

Greninja, Delphox, Riolu and Lucario were behind them with Gardevoir floating over them.

"How did you guys know I was here?" Bonnie asked a bit surprised.

"Well, we heard that roar earlier and Edge here said his sibling senses were tingling for some reason so we decided to check it out." Kaithlyn explained. "Who would have though his senses were that sharp when it come to his lovely sisters."

Gladion turned to her. "You should know that feeling too, Kaith. You are Ash's sister." He said to her as she shrugged.

Gladion then turned to team rocket.

"You dare to hurt my sister!" He growler at them as Silvally was at his back and growler at them aswell.

"Sister? You won't happen to be the nerdy twerp now would you?" Jessie asked dumbly.

Of course not! The four eyes usually has his futuristic backpack with him and the nerdy shit talk he blabbers. 

"Of course not Jessie. He's the edgy twerp that has that scary Lycanroc." James told her as she remembered him now.,

"So in short the twerpet has two brothers? I can't see similarities between you guys aside from the blonde hair."

Bonnie's eyebrow twitch in annoyance of her being dumb as a rock.

"Clemont's no longer my brother!" She yelled at them confusing them.

"What do you m-" Jessie was cut off short as some people got into scene.

"Bonnie. Gladion! Are you guys okay?" Lillie yelled as Ash, Gary and Mallow were behind her.

They noticed the Tyrantrum and their pokemon up against Jessie and James's pokemon with Pikachu smacking away Mimikyu and Eevee blasting Seviper back with Swift.

"On no. The twerp troops are here!"

"What the? Team Rocket, you guys again?!" Ash called with annoyance.

"Prepare for trouble-"

"Come on! This is getting old. Greninja, Water Shuriken!"

"Ice beam!"

"Hyper beam!"

"Psyshock!"

Ash started with Greninja hurling Shurikens at them followed up by Lillie with Ninetales, Gladion with Silvally and Kaithlyn with Gardevoir as the attack hit their marks and blasted team rocket out of the sky.

"Team rocket's blasting off... Wait? Where's Meowth?!" Jessie yelled before disappearing in the sky hearing a faint "Waaabuffet!!".

Gary walks up with his hand shading his eyes as he watches them blast off.

"That, never gets old." He said as everyone aside for Gladion laughs.

However, Bonnie was pouting in an annoyed manner.

"Come on! I was the one who wanted them to blast off for once!" Bonnie complained while flailing her arms up and down.

"No. Not until you're at least fifteen years old." Gladion told her as he search for any injury.

"I'm fine, jeez."

"Hey sis. How did you guys get here?" Ash asked his sister.

"Same as how you guys got here. That Tyrantrum has some power in that roar." She replied to him while complementing the Despot pokemon.

Lillie thought of this and went Ash.

"Say Ash. Is it okay that team Rocket saw you? I mean, them knowing that you're alive will cause trouble." She said to him as Ash thinks it over.

"What? If you think that they'll report this to those bastard is highly unlikely, Lillie." Gary said.

"But it's just. I have this feeling of meeting them here will cause some form of trouble." She claimed.

"I don't think so." Gladion countered at Lillie's claim gaining her attention.

"True." Kaithlyn added. "They don't seem to be shocked earlier when they saw Ash. And if they wanted to report this. I think they'll just keep to themselves about it. I doubt they would even care if he's alive. No offense, Ash."

They think it over as they had their separate thoughts about team rocket knowing stuff about Ash.

"But still. I'm guessing that these guys are trouble, right?" She asked them.

"Oh, you have to idea." Bonnie replied.

"Then I will suggest we continue our training later." As she said that everyone groaned, aside for Gladion who smiled hearing that.

____________________________________

A few hours later.

Jessie and James made it back to their makeshift home base. Bewear was asleep with her daughter Stufful snuggled up together.

Aside for the muggy cave base. They had a trap door that leads them to their base where Meowth was at their large screen computer and was talking to their boss's secretary being Matori as she signed off.

"Hey Meowth! Where were you back there? We could have caught that Tyrantrum with one of those Mechas of yours. And what's that whore doing on the screen just now?" She said with great hate for the Rocket's secretary at the end.

"I got a call from her when you guys challenge the twerpet. Of course hearing it was important I and it was a direct order from our boss, I had to ditch you for a while. How did it go?" He asked them.

"Not good. The twerp troop arrived just in time before we were able to catch her pokemon." James explained.

"So the usual results huh?" Meowth said with chuckle.

"We'll get them back somehow. But back to what I asked you. What were you and that Kappa-Matori were talking about?"

Meowth chuckled a bit as he shows them on the computer screen a portal like gate. James and Jessie went to see it.

"What's that?" James asked curiously. "Looks like one of those time travel gate thingies I read in some manga."

"That my ol'pal is our boss's latest project: The gate for dominion. Edgy name I know. But has ring to it." He said as he present more info about the gate Matori sent him.

"Then what this gate for then?" Jessie asked this time. 

Meowth gulped and reluctantly showed them some photos that will make their blood curl in horror as he turns away.

A joined team of the Rocket grunts, some other grunts and their medical staff with blood soaked gloves and and aprons, were picking up burned, crushed and blood soaked dead fellow grunts as if a war erupted here. Some of the dead grunts were unrecognizable, either they were burned black to bones, were sliced in half or were a crushed bloody mess on the floor as they were just stuffed in a crate as their coffin.

The humans stood astounded in horror at the sight and what they were seeing.

Wobbuffet was shivering at the sight at the screen.

"Meowth, what is this? What happened in that and why are you showing this to us?" James said as Jessie felt her gut turn seeing a severed head of a handsome grunt as she covers her mouth to prevent her from puking.

Meowth clears his throat.

"That my friends was a result of the gate's test drive. It's made to make a portal to access other world." He explained. "The boss... I mean our bosses want to-"

"What do you mean our "bosses"?" James questioned, interrupting him.

Meowth blinked and thought of what he said.

"On yeah. Boss Giovanni is the leader of our new organizational name. Anyway, we are invited to join a now allied group with Team Aqua, Magma, Galactic, Plasma and Flare for a common cause." Meowth paused as the humans turn their attention for the end.

"To catch the legendary pokemon in those world and rule this world." He finished with smirk as Jessie and James thought about it and likes what they heard.

"I'm heading back to Kanto for a little expedition project, he invited us to join. Care to join me?"

James and Jessie looks at each, they then smirked darkly and nodded. "Wouldn't want to miss it."

(E.N.D.)
