THE SONG ABOVE IS SERIOUSLY LIT. IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE CHAPTER, BUT I WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU GUYS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN IT. 

5442 WORDS, READ AT YOUR LEISURE.

FAST FORWARD: - WEEKEND

The summer morning rising above the skies of the campus was filled with happy exclamations and the air was filled with excitement.

It was the first weekend for the freshers of the K.R.A

It was 8 in the morning, when Serena and Lillie were having coffee on the couch in the dorm lobby, chatting with Ash and Gary, who were sitting on the couch opposite to them.

"You know that the K.R.A gives a welcome party to all its students on the first weekend of their academic year, right?" Serena asked. She was dressed in her usual black sleeveless top with white collars. However, instead of her short skirt reaching down to the edge of her knees, she wore a long skirt overing almost three fourths of her legs. A large hat, like Lillie's adorned her head. However, instead of white, hers was deep pink.

"Yeah, seriously, I have heard that those parties are absolutely gorgeous. They have dance and drinks and food and an all-night fantasy there. I can't wait to see it with my own eyes." Lillie said excitedly. She was wearing a plain pink dress, reaching down to her knees. Along with that, she also had a black jacket on her dress. Her jacket was decorated with silver decorations, and on the jacket's, center was written. "B A D A S S!" Her jacket was open, so the words could not be seen.

However, the jacket very closely matched Lillie's attitude.

This time, Lillie did not wear her hat, revealing her lemon blonde hair done in various plaits and curls, falling down to her back, and some strands also falling down her face.

"Umm...Interesting. Is it formal or something casual?" Gary asked

Lillie daintily kept her cup on the coffee table between them.

"No! Not at all. It is a youngster disco party. However, we have heard that in the party some people do indulge in brawls or petty fights." Lillie said.

"Yeah, we don't want either of those. I have heard that the seniors also indulge in ragging there.If anyone refuses to do their bidding, they have a pokemon battle, and if the fresher loses, then his life for the rest of the year is sure to be a living hell." Serena said worriedly.

"Yeah, our pokemon are not that strong. We have never battled in our whole life."

"Oh, for that you don't need to worry. We will be there if anything turns out that way." Ash said confidently.

"Oh hello, you need to worry too! They can start battles whenever and with whoever they want. Some of them have also competed in leagues! And if you are still cocky, remember that some of them even have a mega-evolving pokemon." Serena exclaimed.

Ash chuckled internally. Royal princesses are telling the champion to beware of registered trainers and mega-evolving pokemon.

Classic!

"Oh, c'mon sis, don't spoil the mood!" Lillie admonished her sister.

"I am only telling the truth! And even Gary here does not look like he has had any experience in battling. These are just two novices who have got a pokemon and are considering themselves some great champions or scientists!" Serena exclaimed, moving her hands for emphasis.

Ash and Gary winced,

We are not considering ourselves; we are champions and scientists.

"Anyways" Lillie said, "I am going upstairs to rest and change. The party begins at seven, and will continue till six the next morning. So, we will see you boys at six thirty?" she asked.

"Why at six thirty? The party is at seven, right?"

On hearing the question, the girls' discomfort suddenly came into existence.

"Well....you see...." Serena was trailing off.

"See what?" Gary asked

"Oh, the party has a dance floor. So, whoever wants to dance, has to bring with them a partner, to dance with. So, w-we thought t-that you two c-could c-come with u-us." Lillie was stuttering, with a red wash over her face.

"So, it is like a date?" Gary said bluntly.

"Y-yes!" The two girls said in unison.

"Again, what is a date?" Ash asked.

"U-uh, y-you s-see." Serena was practically sweating in embarrassment by explaining the word.

"Ashy boy, as you are uninterested in romantic things, I will explain you in simple terms. Hanging out of a girl and a boy, together, is called a date." Gary explained.

"Gee, thanks for the compliments Gary!" Ash exclaimed sarcastically.

"No problem." Gary waved his hand in acknowledgement, grinning.

"Well, if you boys are done, we are leaving." Lillie and Serena said, rising up.

"Oh, farewell ladies." Gary bowed.

"We hope to see you two princesses in the evening." Ash took off his hat in mock-respect.

"We told you not to call us that!" The girls shouted from the lifts entrance.

"Well, sorry!" Was the last thing the girls heard as the lift door closed.

Sitting on the couches, both the girls sighed, the red on their cheeks slowly fading away, then reigniting at the thought of the boys.

"This is going to be a long year." Both of them thought.

Ash and Gary had gone out. Gary had gone to the science lab, which was situated at the edge of the forest, while Ash had gone to the fields to train.

He was walking across the fields, searching for anyone to battle with. Suddenly, a hint of green caught his eye.

"HUH! DREW!!!" Ash yelled.

"ASH!!! SO LONG SINCE I HAVE SEEN YOU!" It sure was Drew, not a bit changed. However, Ash noticed, he had gone a little taller.

He was wearing the same black long-sleeved shirt with a purple jacket, and black trousers. He still had his smooth green hair, well combed to one side.

He was taking a walk around the field, his Absol by his side.

"Well, Drew, how have you been doing?" Ash asked as he started to walk with Drew. Even Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder and started walking, a little behind his trainer, with Absol.

"I have been doing fine. After leaving the secret service, I utilized the training to develop interesting moves, and I am a performer now." Drew said.

"Cool, so you did become a performer huh?" Ash said. Then he laughed, "I remember you trying to battle performer style when we used to go on missions. However, do you battle now?" Ash asked.

"Yeah, I do. My father was never that rich, so to afford my travels around the globe I used to do battles and with the money, roamed around the world." Drew said.

Then his smile became prouder, "I saw your battles you know. I saw you the day you became the Alolan Champion."

Ash scratched the back of his neck, "Well, Alola was an easy league. I want to go higher, achieve more, and show the world that if pokemon and their trainer bond, their power becomes limitless." Ash fisted his palms.

"Yeah, the same way you caught Froakie, when You, Clemont, Gary, Paul and I went on the Kalos mission. I remember the bond between Greninja and you. It was thrilling to watch. Too sad he had to go." Drew said.

Ash sighed, Greninja was the closest he had ever come to bonding with a pokemon. Out of all the pokemon who had agreed to voluntarily come to him, Greninja was the one who had the highest determination. The other had it too, but Greninja was different. Ash felt the dfference when they battled, when they bonded. Ash still had not been over the fact that Greninja had to go to clear the vines made by Lysandre, with the help of Zygarde after Lysandre had been bashed to pieces in the Kalo crisis. Ash missed Greninja.

Suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, "Hey Drew, you have your Absol right. Let's battle!" Ash exclaimed.

Even Drew sounded pumped up, "Let's do it!"

Ash and Drew stood on the opposite sides, occupying a small patch in the corner of the lawn,

"Go Absol!"

"Pikachu, I choose you!"

"Let's begin easy, razor leaf."

A hurricane of leaves began started advancing towards Pikachu.

"Pikachu, use thunderbolt on the hurricane, and break it!"

Pikachu sent a wave of electricity, which tore the leaves apart like thin paper.

"Oh yeah! Now Absol use water pulse on the ground!" Drew shouted

What is Drew thinking? Ash thought.

Absol's water pulse created a wall of dust, not allowing any trainer to see anything.

"Now Absol, use Iron Tail!"

Oh no!

Absol used the dust veil to his advantage and slammed at Pikachu, sending him flying to the corner of the field.

"PIIKAAA!" He cried.

"Pikachu! Are you okay!?" Ash called out.

"PIKAA!" Pikachu came limping back to the arena.

"Now Pikachu, use Quick Attack!" Ash had a trick up his sleeve.

"Absol, use razor leaf everywhere to protect yourself!" Drew shouted.

He has good strategy!

"Good, now Pikachu, use Iron Tail on the ground!" Ash yelled.

The rocks went flying everywhere, and many of them hit Absol in the face.

"AAABSOOOOL!" He cried out in pain.

"Hold your ground Absol, now wait for my command!" Drew yelled.

"Let's finish this up! Pikachu, electroball!" Ash shouted.

"Absol, on my command, let it draw close!"

Just two seconds before the attack hit Absol, Drew shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Absol! Flash!"

Absol released a blinding light, which blinded both Ash and his pokemon.

"Now Absol! Use Razor Leaf!" drew yelled.

"Pikachu quick, use thunderbolt!" Ash yelled.

The attacks hit the two pokemon at the same time, giving no time to dodge.

Both Pikachu and Absol collapsed.

"You did well Pikachu, take a rest." Ash petted the pokemon, which snuggled into Ash.

"You did a good job Absol, now rest." Drew returned Absol to his pokeball.

"Wow Drew! I never knew you had improved so much!" Ash exclaimed.

"Well...Seeing you battle helped me too." Drew said as they walked toward the healing center.

1 HOUR LATER

Pikachu sat on Ash's shoulder, while Absol was safe in his pokeball. As both the trainers exited the healing centre, they heard a voice coming from their left

"Hey Drew!" The voice said, and Ash almost immediately recognized it.

It was May.

"yes Miss June, anything you require my help in?" Drew asked as he bowed down.

Ash sweatdropped,

He is as bad as Gary when it comes to girls

"My name is May, not June." She seethed through her teeth.

"Okay Okay April, I understand." Drew was teasing her.

He will never change.

"My name is MAY!" The girl screamed as she ran after Drew, who was running for his life, as if a bull was behind him.

"Fine, fine, geez. You are so loud. Anyways, what help can this poor boy be of this beauty here." Drew said smoothly.

May instantly reddened. She was playing with her fingers as she started,

"Umm.....W-would y-you like t-t-to c-come...I mean...today i-is t-the p-party s-so...." She was cut off.

"I think you are asking me to be your date for the party, I am honored to be asked by such a beautiful lady, so I cannot refuse at all." Drew finished for her.

"T-thank y-you!" May happily exclaimed.

"No problem m'lady." Drew bowed, and out of nowhere, whipped out a white rose.

"A beautiful gift for a beautiful lady." Drew said solemnly.

May's face reddened intensively, as she took the rose with shaky fingers.

"T-t-t-h-hank y-you." She mumbled, and ran away.

"Well, that was real smooth Drew. I have to say." Ash said.

"Oh oh oh, the dense Ash Ketchum understands these things!" Drew was shocked.

"Understand what?" Ash asked.

"Hash! So, you are still dense I see. I don't know, but I get a feeling like a twisting in the gut, a light headed feeling, a peacefulness spreads around me whenever I am around May. I am pretty sure I have a crush on her." Drew said.

"Well, what is a crush? and the things you have mentioned, I feel them too." Ah said.

"With whom?" Drew was suddenly jerked up. He asked with an overwhelming amount of interest. It was as if he was a child who was waiting for his gift on Christmas.

"Umm....Princess Serena...." Ash trailed off.

EVENING 6:30 PM, LOBBY, FRESHERS DORMS

Ash was sitting on the same couch he was sitting on in the morning. Gary had already gone with Lillie, around fifteen minutes ago. Gary was wearing a black full sleeved shirt, with brown trousers, whereas Lillie was wearing a white top, which led down to her thighs, with her back jacket from morning.Beyond, she had on black jean shorts, and high black boots with heels.

His memories of the afternoon were rolling in his head.

FLASHBACK

"Man! You do have a crush on Serena!" Drew exclaimed.

"What..is...a...crush?" Ash asked, slowly this time. He was irritated by this word.

"Well, crush is a liking for certain person. It is as like a want, a desire to spend time with the person and spend your whole life with that person. It is a sense of attraction basically." Drew explained.

"Well, my feelings do match with your explanations." Ash said, then he asked.

"Now, what shall I do?"

"Spend time with her, get to know her, form a bond with her, and if you feel that she likes you back, and the time is right, then confess your feelings." Drew instructed.

"How will I know if she likes me back?" Ash asked.

"Did you see May, how she blushed when I acted smooth?" Drew asked.

"Blushed meaning?" Ash asked.

"Did you see May's face get red, and saw her nervousness?" Drew asked exasperated

"yes, so?"

"If Serena behaves like that around you, goes a deep red if you compliment her, acts a little different around you, and likes to spend time with you, and cares for you for a long time, say, one or two months, then she likes you." Drew said.

Then he looked at his watch, "Oh no! Bye Ash, I have to leave. It is 5:45 already, and if I don't come on time May will very surely kill me." He said running away.

"Yeah, bye Drew. See you at the party!" Ash waved as he made his way towards the dorms, in the direction in which Drew went

FLASHBACK END

"hey Ash, how do I look?" came a sweet, gentle voice, which lured him back to reality

Ash looked up to see a gorgeous girl. Literally, Ash's eyes were absolutely glued to her slender figure.

The girl wore a long, black skirt, with a high black, woollen collar. Her long black sleeves ended in a wave pattern at her wrists, and she wore a gold-buckled, silver lined belt at her waist. Below her waist, the skirt had two oppositely faced, diagonal, red checkered designs. She wore her usual knee-length socks, with high silver chained boots, with pencil heels. She had done her hair, and had set a pink bow on her it. She was carrying a platinum-chain handbag, which was slinged across her shoulder.

(kindly ignore the pokemon) 

Ash was literally drooling, when Serena shook him,

"Ash!"

"Oh! What happened!" Ash asked, coming back into his surroundings.

"How do I look?" Serena asked again.

"Absolutely beautiful!" Ash said, before realizing what he had said.

Serena blushed a dark shade of red, before mumbling,

"Thank you, Ash."

"No p-problem." Ash grinned, showing all his teeth.

"Well, let's get going." Serena said as she grabbed Ash's hand and walked out.

Ash looked at Serena and then at her hand, clasped to his.

Serena realized, and immediately let go. She folded both of her hands behind her, as they entered the party hall.

As soon as they entered, the icy cold gush of the air conditioner literally froze them. Ash felt thankful that he was wearing a navy-blue jacket, over his black full sleeved shirt. Pikachu literally hid under Ash's jacket

"PIPIPPPIPIKA!" It shivered.

"its okay buddy, you will get used to it soon." Ash consoled him.

Serena went over to the girls, who were at a cocktail table, where some of the boys were also sitting.

Ash went over to the boys, who were standing at one end of the hall, eating the starters the waiters brought.

There he saw Gary, Clemont and Drew talking to each other. However, he also saw a new face among the group. On closer inspection, he yelled,

"PAUL!!"

"Hello Ash, nice to meet you here." Paul greeted back in the same serious way.

"How have you been doing?" Ash asked.

"Oh, just battling. I did defeat the Battle Frontier, including Brendan. So, you can say that we are on equal footing." Paul replied. He then added,

"I have been doing Business studies for over a year now. I did my schooling in Sinnoh, and then tried here. However, I don't know how, but I got an 86, in spite of fluking 10 questions." Paul chuckled.

"Hey! Me too! Even I had 25 questions fluked, but somehow got a 90!" Drew laughed nervously. He was wearing a red jacket, instead of a purple one, and in place of his black shirt, there was a white one.

"Yeah, me too! I had actually placed a bet with Bonnie, on who will enter the K.R.A. Bonnie really studied hard, and as for me, I fluked some questions and cleared, whereas Bonnie passed with a 95, without fluking, and got a seat in the last year of middle school here at K.R.A. Even she must be somewhere in the party by now. She had asked Max Maple, May Maple's brother, who had been in the academy since fifth class, and is heard to be quite a smart boy, for the party." Clemont said. He was wearing a yellow shirt, with two black bands at the ends of his sleeves. He had on black trousers, with horizontal yellow stripes at the knees, and parallelogram shaped yellow patches at the ends of both of his legs. He was wearing a white sleeveless jacket with zip pockets, and black and white sports shoes.

"I had been asked by my neighbor Lilia Elens, who is the daughter of Orangis Elens, the owner of the robotics behemoth Orangics, to be her date in the party ." Clemont nervously laughs.

"Wow, and how about you Paul? Did someone ask you, or did your scowl scared the girls away?" Gary asked.

"Excuse me blockhead, but I have been asked out by my neighbor Dawn Lorris, the daughter of the famous media tycoon Harris Lorris and model Dardania Lorris. So, you better shut your mouth before I make you." Paul snarled.

He is still the same!

"Geez. Take a chill pill. I was only testing you. By the way, me and Ashy Boy here have been asked by the royal princesses, Lillie and Serena respectively? What do you think of that!? Gary asked.

Everyone's jaw dropped to the ground.

"No way!" was the chorus.

"Yes way! You see, we live on the same floor and Ashy Boy is their neighbor, wo they found us suitable." Gary explained.

Everyone nodded in understanding.

The music was blaring out of the speakers and girls and boys of all ages were drinking, eating and dancing with full vigor. Some wore gold chains, some wore diamond earrings, others had on leather coats sewn with gold thread, and some had gold plated, pencil heeled platinum boots, in-lined with the softest cushions, and on the exterior, studded with rubies glistening in the disco lights emitting off the dance ball hanging and rotating in the center of the roof. Not less than 200 were dancing and grooving to the music on the dance floor. In total, at least 500 students were there in the ginormous party hall.

GIRLS POV

Serena walked to the girls, her heels clicking all the way. She saw all her friends drinking soft drinks at the bar table. She saw her sister, talking with May, who was wearing an orange sleeveless tops, with her usual blue shorts, and had her shoulder length hair open, along with her wrists adorned with a silver colored bracelet.

(KINDLY IMAGINE HER WITH OPEN HAIR)

How is she not feeling cold

"Hey May! What's up with the bracelet?" Serena took a seat next to her.

"Hehehe! It was a friendship gift from her neighbor Drew Tanaka!" a voice answered.

Serena turned, to see a navy-blue haired girl, wearing a black sleeveless top, with a white three-fourth sleeve shirt underneath. She was wearing really mini mini skirt, and under it were blue full-length jeans. Her attire finished with pink high flat boots, with a white border at the hem.

"Yeah, as a symbol of their everlasting friendship!" Another voice spoke.

Serena looked towards the owner of the voice, seeing another black-haired girl, wearing a dark blue skirt, reaching down to her knees. Under it, she was wearing deep blue jeans, and finished off with black boots.

"Hey Dawn! Hey Lilia!" Lillie greeted.

Okay, so the bluenette is Dawn, and the black haired one is Lilia

"Hey Lilli, and Hi, Serena! It is nice to meet you!" Dawn greeted.

"Hey, and you must be Lilia, right? It is a pleasure to meet you." Serena greeted the other one.

"Yeah, nice to meet you too!" Lilia greeted back.

"he Lilia, you used to have two pony tails, right? Where are they?" May asked.

"Oh, yeah, but today is party right, so I have opened my hair." Lilia said.

"Yeah, open hair suits you very well!" Serena exclaimed.

"Ah! There you are! Another worthy woman!" came a childish voice.

Serena turned to see a lemon haired girl, not more than 10 years of age, on one knee, holding Lilia's hand.

"Will you take care of my brother?!" the girl exclaimed.

"Well, who is your brother?" Lilia asked the girl.

"Oh! my brother is a very clumsy boy, who cannot do half the things when it comes to survival. He keeps his head dug in his inventions. So, as his younger sister, I consider it my duty to find a responsible wife for him who will take care of him." The girl explained.

"Wait! Are you talking about Clemont?" the girl asked.

"You know him!? And aren't you Lilia Orangis, the heir to the Orangics, of whom my brother talks day and night!?" The girl exclaimed.

"Well, Clemont is my neighbor on the fourth floor of the Fresher's dorms, and we are.....friends.." Lilia spoke hesitantly.

"Well, someone is certainly more than a friend to you." Lillie teased.

Lilia immediately reddened a little, but shook it off immediately.

"No, just a friend. Nothing more, nothing less." She spoke with mock-confidence.

"Very well, as you wish. Now, who wants to dance?" Dawn asked.

"Oh, the young ladies want to dance! May I be of any service to you in this case." A guy mocked from a table near them.

The girls ignored him, and went to find their partners.

However, as soon as the girls got off, he chairs, five more seniors surrounded them

"Oooh! Looks like the   high-boot gang is leaving!" One guy sneered.

"They are foolish to ignore the hottest guys in the whole campus!" The other laughed.

Suddenly, a well-built senior blocked their way. He spoke in a low sensual voice, which caused some of the girls of the group to gag. One thing was for certain, they could not fight. There were too many guys out there. And secondly, it would create enough complications for them to last a year.

"Listen here, you, and all of you bigheads. You don't know us, and so, back off, before you force us to do something we regret." Lillie threatened.

The leader laughed, "I may not knw all of you, but I certainly know you princess Lillie. After all, I am one of your suitors from the royal family of Unova, Austin Hernandez."

"If it is so, then you might as well listen to me, as, if you do not leave us now, one day there may be trouble to you, your country and your people as a whole!" Serena spoke confidently, with the grace and elegance which one must expect from a mighty and powerful princess.

The guy did look a little nervous, but he would not back down so easily

"Okay princesses, since you declined my offers, I challenge you to a pokemon battle!" He raised his voice, such that everyone vacated the dance floor, to see the first round of ragging begin."

BOYS POV

They were eating the starters, and relaxing against the walls of the hall in a corner, when suddenly the music abruptly stopped. The lights at the edges shut down, and the dance floor was in focus.

They struggled through the crowd, and on emerging out, saw something which made their blood boil.

An older boy was harassing five girls.

"Oh, c'mon! Don't know how to battle? Why don't you forfeit, then you will be teased only four times a week, or else, if you lose, you will be teased only all the days of the week." They saw the girls' stance weaken. The hunk released a Metagross beside him.

The fully evolved pokemon roared, echoing on the walls of the hall, scaring the wits out of the girls' pokemon, who rushed in their luxury balls, and refused to come out.

"What is going on here?" Paul, the impulsive one, stepped up.

"Who are you punk? And who allowed you lowly being to speak when the mighty are talking?" The senior spoke, annoyed.

"Oh! Don't worry about that! We know when to speak. And we definitely know when to speak when you are harassing five girls in a public place." Gary spoke confidently.

"Oh yeah! If you think so, then why don't I fight you in place of these flashies." The older boy smirked.

"If I win, understand, I will make yours as well as those girls' lives a living hell."

"Bring it on! We won't back off! We aren't scared!" Clemont spoke up.

"Yeah! Bring it on!" Ash snarled, Pikachu already sparking his cheeks.

The boys stood on the opposite sides of the dance floor, which was twice the size of a normal battling arena.

The bully, Austin called out, "Boys! Time for action!"

Immediately fourteen boys came out of the crowd and threw their pokeballs, revealing varieties of Pokemon from four skeptiles, six houndooms, a charizard and three Jolteons.

Just by their looks, Ash determined that they were forcibly evolved. Also, the trainer and pokemon did not seem to have a strong bond.

"Well, losers! It is fifteen is to five, are you ready to go and lose or ready to forfeit!" Austin laughed.

"You idiots! What do you think you are doing! You can never win this! Forfeit!" Serena yelled.

However, a plan was already forming in Ash's mind. His famous unpredictability was kicking in.

Just a look at his other four comrades, and Ash knw they had understood the plan.

They released their pokemon. Absol snarled as he landed on the field, Electivire roared as he sparked his antennae, Luxray stealthily landed in attack formation and Blastoise literally broke the floor under his feet.

"Pikachu, take the field." Ash told the pokemon in his shoulder, who immediately landed on the floor.

"well, I am feeling extra mean today! So, to give you an even humiliating battle, I will take the first call." Austin said, and immediately yelled,

"METAGROSS FLASH CANNON!"

"SKEPTILE LEAF BLADE!"

"HOUDOOM SHADOW BALL!"

"CHARIZARD FLAMETHROWER!"

"JOLTEON THUNDER!"

The attacks went in all directions, some hit the roof, some broke the floor, some damaged the pillars, and some very nearly hit the bystanders.

"We have to end this quickly. DREW! BEGIN THE OFFENSE!" Ash yelled.

"ABSOL! WATER PULSE ON THE GROUND!"

The entire floor was covered in dust. Austin and his gang could not see anything.

This was the chance!

"Blastoise! Hydro cannon on the entire field and all the pokemon!" Gary yelled.

"Others! Keep on charging the attack!" Gary yelled,

His ideas were always top class. Ash did not even think of that.

As soon as the Hydro cannon hit, all the dust settled down. If Gary had not asked the others to charge up their attacks then probably the opponent would have fired before they could attack.

"ELECTIVIRE! THUNDER!" Paul shouted.

"LUXRAY! QUICK ATTACK!" Clemont yelled

Water, being a good conductor of electricity, soaked all the pokemon and the entire field. When the electric attacks were fired, Electivire's thunder paralysed the pokemon, and Luxray's quick attack gave enough blow to faint many of them.

However, there were six pokemon still in the battle. Sustin's Metagross one of them.

Austin was enraged,

"METAGROSS! HYPER BEAM ON EVERYONE!"

Ash was shocked, so were the others. There was one beam rapidly heading outside the arena, to the spot where the middle schoolers were watching the match. They were absolutely paralyzed, just gaping at the beam rapidly heading towards them.

"PIKACHU! ELECTROWEB QUICKLY!"

Pikachu shot the Electroweb, which reflected the Hyper Beam and weakened it.

However, it reflected the Hyper Beam towards Ash!

"ASH! WATCH OUT!" His comrades yelled.

The attack hit Ash and sent him flying across the hall, to the bar table, with a crash.

He rose up, without any injuries, as the Hyper Beam had been weakened, and there was nothing on the Bar Table to hurt Ash.

However, his rage was reaching breaking point!

The hall had gone completely silent. It was so silent that one could think that he had gone deaf. They had witnessed an inhuman wretch fire an attack towards defenseless children.

Ash stomped to the field, and growled in a low, dangerous voice,

"Pikachu..." He says,

"Pika?" Pikachu is worried.

"GIGA VOLT HAVOC!" Ash yells.

"PIIIIKAAAACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!"

The attack literally blew the roof off.

The electric type fired such an intense ball of energy that the Pokemon had fainted the moment the ball touched them. It created such a shockwave that everyone was thrown away by the force.

Austin was shaking with rage. He, the best of the best trainers of the K.R.A, had been wrecked to pieces by some unknown trainer, that too a Fresher. He could hear laughter behind him. He glared at those who dared to open their mouth in a smile.

However, what use would it be. He had been publicly destroyed in a 15 V/S 5 pokemon battle.

Austin summoned Metagross to his pokeball,

"You, useless piece of junk! You are worthless!" He yelled at the pokemon.

"Hey! Who gives you the right to insult your pokemon, who had fought a long and hard battle for you? You should thank him! But instead of that, you show how you suck by yelling at it!"

Gary yelled at him.

"Shut up! It is my pokemon. I decide what to do with it!" Austin raged as he walked out, with his gang, out of the hall, towards the last-year dorms.

"C'mon guys, we should leave. I am in no party mood now." Ash growled as he walked back to his dorms, with the four other boys by his side.

However, the very people whom they fought for were in shock! Pokemon too were agape! They had never seen such a one-sided match. The commoners were only five in number, but they absolutely dominated over the fifteen pokemon in opposition. They were feeling guilty for saying those things which they had said earlier. Everyone had only one thing on their mind.

I must apologize as soon as possible!

However, the girls decided that it could wait till tomorrow, as they turned to enjoy the remaining night of the party, under the light of the moon, dancing on the dance-floor, which miraculously was unharmed, except for a few indentions at some places.

JUBILIFE CITY, SINNOH REGION

An official convoy was passing through the streets of the prestigious Ambassador's area. Suddenly, the front and the rear cars of the convoy having the Prime Minister's daughter suddenly exploded. Masked men, having blue hair, dragged the nine year old girl out of the car and subdued anyone seeing anything. They spread Amnesia powder throughout the area, so that anyone seeing anything would forget everything.

2 DAYS LATER,LUMIOSE CITY, KALOS

A blue haired man came to the black-haired figure sitting behind the rosewood desk.

"Sir, the girl is in our custody."

"Good, send the letters. Let's begin the political reshuffling of Kalos."

"On your command sir!" The blue haired man exited the office.

The black-haired figure looked out to the skyline of the great city, until one caught his glance.

His mouth turned into a malicious smile

"Lumiose will fall for sure this time. I will make sure it will."
