(Ash's POV)

"Ash," Someone yells out. It's Suyoshi. She's running towards me. I think I know what's gonna happen. Yup. She's now wrapping me into her arms. "You always surprise me!" She says. Sawyer gasps. Suyoshi quickly lets me go. I think she just remembered that Sawyer's here. 

"EVERYONE!" We hear the commentator say. Me, Sawyer, and Suyoshi run up to the stands where everyone else is. "We have to go right to the finals! Everyone has dropped out of the competition except for these two contestants." On the big screen shows a picture of me and Lysandre wearing his mask. 

"Wait what?!" Clemont yells out. "Ash made it to the finals!"

"But not the way I wanted to," I say in a disappointed tone. "I can't be crowned champion if I don't play the game properly!"

"It's fine, Ash," Sawyer says. "You can be crowned champion if you beat this guy! He's tough!" Everyone starts talking again. Me and Gary make eye contact and he sits beside me.

"He forced everyone to quit!" I whisper.

"Makes sense," Gary says. "But why not you? Not that I wanted you to! Just wondering why he left you in the game. He didn't threaten you!"

"He wants to beat me," I say. "because I destroyed him and his plan to take over the world.

"The finals will take place tomorrow at 3:00PM!" The commentator says.
