Author's Notes:
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and children of..... well there better not be any children reading this, as this is listed as a mature story. But anyway, welcome to the latest update of Alpha and Omega.

Before I let you all start enjoying this story, I have a confession to make. My writing progress has been slowed, as I keep getting pulled into the endless abyss that is YouTube. I keep watching so many random videos about a bunch of different anime's, and Pokémon AMVs. I can't help myself, I just spent three hours on the YouTube app on my phone. If it wasn't for my alarm I set on my phone to make sure I didn't stay up too late, I wouldn't have remembered to write this before I went to bed. I just hope I can get over this recent addiction and refocus on my writing.

Anyway, if you like my story please vote, feel free to comment, and please share this story with your friends. I now present to you chapter 38, enjoy.

"Alright Larvesta, string shot," Ash commanded of the bug and fire type.

It's been a few days since Ash caught Larvesta, and was now working on his training. They were currently at the Pokémon Center in the town of Hellin. Serena was working on her performance routine with her new Oricorio, and things were working great while they were training. Oricorio was a bit of a pre madonna when they weren't performing, which was wearing on Braixen's nerves. Oricorio didn't mind listening to Serena since she seemed to respect her talent as a dancer, but she saw the other Pokémon as beneath her and more as servants.

Currently, Ash would be pleased if Larvesta would act like that, as he was making little progress with the new Pokémon. Ash had set up some targets for Larvesta to see how good his aim was, again. After Ash made the command, he saw nothing was happening, and looked down to see Larvesta was fast asleep with a bubble coming out of his nose.

"Larvesta," Ash irritably groaned.

The other Pokémon sweatdropped from this behavior. It appeared that all Larvesta ever wanted to do was eat and sleep. Ash knew Larvesta was going to be a fairly difficult Pokémon to train, and only experienced trainers could really train them, but Larvesta wouldn't even give him a chance. Ash wasn't sure if Larvesta was just lazy or he didn't respect him, but regardless this needed to end. All he needed was a chance to show him that he was a strong trainer.

Training ended and Ash and Serena were now back in their room to clean themselves up before eating breakfast. Ash was sitting at the foot of their bed waiting for his turn to use the shower. He was currently passing the time by using his Pokédex to go through his Pokémon, to decide which of his older Pokémon he should train next.

Serena was in the shower washing up. She was done rinsing the shampoo out of her hair and started to wash her body. As she washed her chest, she started to feel lonely. She wished that Ash was in the shower with her lathering her up, and then she could do the same to him. Then thoughts of what they could do in the shower afterwards entered her mind. A second later, her body froze and her breathing became erratic as her heart rate quickened. Memories of the incident with Tierno flooded her mind, causing her to drop to her knees as tears came to her eyes.

This had happened several times since the attack, but not recently. Serena was starting to feel like she was finally getting better, but this showed her the opposite. She longed for Ash's intimate touch, for him to run his fingers along her body. She wanted him to kiss her with passion, to take her clothes off her and make love to her. But sadly that couldn't happen, as every time the thought of having sex entered her mind, flashbacks of the attack would come and drown out the thought with fear.

During the attack she felt powerless, as it seemed all she could do was slow him down. Upon regaining conciseness, Serena was happy to hear Shauna sent Tierno blasting off, but now she wished she didn't. Knowing Tierno was still out there scared her, scared that he could try again, and this time no one would be there to save her. They reported the attack to Officer Jenny, so that way they would hopefully find him and arrest him. They checked with an Officer Jenny every time they saw one, but still Tierno had not been captured. Serena's mind then drifted to the feeling she felt before she lost consciousness. Somehow she was able to stop him, but was left vulnerable after. She wanted to know what this power was and how to control it, hopefully without losing consciousness.

A little while later, Serena had recovered and Ash was able to take his shower. They then left for the cafeteria for breakfast. As they entered the lobby to get the cafeteria, two other trainers entered through the main entrance. They quickly spotted Ash and Serena, but they didn't see them. One of them, the more teasing one of the duo, quickly and quietly started walking behind them.

"Mmmm, what a fine ass," a male voice said.

Both Ash and Serena quickly spun around and looked behind Serena, but no one was there, as he was still behind Ash. They then turned back around to start walking again, before the same voice stopped them.

"Damn it Ash! Stop turning around!"

Ash and Serena quickly spun around to see none other than Calem.

"Grrr, Ash! How am I supposed to admire that ass of yours if you keep turning around!" Calem said with a smirk, trying to sound angry.

"Calem!" Serena said excitedly, as she gave her old friend a hug.

"Hey Calem," Ash said, trying not to sound uncomfortable by the comments.

"Don't worry Ash. He's just messing with you," said another voice.

Ash turned his head to see Brendan walking up.

"Hey Brendan," Ash said happily as they shook hands.

"He's right Ash, you need to lighten up a little. Besides, as far as I'm concerned, Brendan's ass is much nicer," Calem commented casually, resulting in Brendan blushing a little.

"Are you guys heading to breakfast?" Brendan asked trying to change the subject.

Ash and Serena didn't get a chance to respond, as if on que, Ash's stomach started grumbling. Several other people heard this and started looking around for the source.

"Something must be wrong with the air conditioning," Nurse Joy guessed out loud to herself.

"I'll take that as a yes. Mind if we join you?" Brendan asked.

"Of course you can join us," Serena replied as Ash scratches the back of his head and gave a sheepish grin.

"We'll drop off our Pokéballs and meet you in there," Calem replied.

Calem and Brendan dropped their Pokéballs off with Nurse Joy and then headed to the cafeteria. Once inside, they saw Ash and Serena were already at the buffet. They were split up. Ash was waiting on a fresh omelette while Serena was getting some fresh fruit. Brendan and Calem split up to get their breakfast.

"Hello again," Calem said to Serena.

"Hey Calem, how have you been? Are you and Brendan official?" Serena asked.

"Why yes we are. And since we're asking questions about each other's relationships, how are you and Ash? Have you two done it yet?" Calem replied in a teasing, but curious tone.

"Calem! That's none of your business," Serena replied, sounding flustered.

"I'll take that as a yes. So how big his he?" Calem continued.

"Calem!" Serena said sounding even more flustered.

"What? You're my BFF. We share things like this. Ok, I'll go first. Eight inches," Calem replied with a smirk.

"What?" Serena relied as she tried to recover from Calem's questions.

"You heard me. Brendan measures eight inches. So how big is Ash?" Calem repeated.

"I..I..I don't know. Umm, big? I've never cared to measure," Serena replied.

"Well next time you two do it, measure," Calem teased.

Serena's mind then went back to the attack, causing her body to shake, which was noticed by Calem.

"Serena, are you ok?" Calem asked.

Serena didn't reply as tears started to form in her eyes. Calem quickly took her tray and set it down and walked her away.

"Serena talk to me! What's wrong? Did Ash hurt you? Force you to do something you didn't want? You can tell me. If he did anything...I'll...I'll...I'll remove his manhood with these tongs," Calem threatened, then grabbed a set of tongs.

"No. Ash hasn't done anything wrong. He's been nothing short of amazing and understanding," Serena finally replied as tears started to fall.

"Then tell me, what's wrong?" Calem asked with a concerned tone.

Serena then proceeded to tell Calem about the attack from Tierno. Calem was shocked, and quickly took Serena into a hug as he tried to console her.

"Don't worry, the police will catch him," Calem said as he held her.

"I hope so. Because as things are now, I can't even think about having sex with Ash without having a flashback," Serena said as she started to calm down, but then another thought enters her mind getting her worked up again. "What if I don't get better? What if Ash gets frustrated with this and goes to have sex with another girl? What..."

"Shhh shhh. Calm down Serena," Calem said as he petted Serena's head. "It is way too soon to think like that. And besides, this is Ash your talking about. He loves you more than anything. He will be patient and wait for you, no matter how long it takes."

————————————————————————

Brendan and Ash were heading to a table when they saw Calem whisking Serena away. They sat down at a table, where Brendan noticed Ash was being a lot angrier than he had ever seen him.

"Ash, remember they are old friends, and Calem is gay. Serena is not cheating on you," Brendan said, thinking that was the issue.

"What? No, that's not my problem," Ash replied.

"Then what?" Brendan asked.

"What they're most likely talking about, what happened to Serena," Ash said, then explained what happened with Tierno.

"Oh my Arceus. At least you got the police involved. I'm sure they'll find him," Brendan replied.

"I hope they don't," Ash said in a cold tone.

"What?!" Brendan replied in shock.

"I want to find him first. He'll get off too easy if they catch him. They'll just throw him in prison and that's it. I want to find him first. I want to beat that fat tub of lard until I can't lift my arms. I want to turn him into my punch bag for a few days, breaking his bones, making him suffer for every second that Serena has been forced to suffer. Only after I'm done the police can have him," Ash said in a cold tone as his body shook with rage.

"Ash breath, drink some water, just calm down," Brendan urged, slightly scared as he didn't think emotions like this even existed in Ash.

Ash chugged a glass of water and then took a few deep breaths.

"Thanks, sorry about that," Ash said as he continued to try and calm down.

"It's ok. Someone you deeply love was hurt, it makes sense. If someone hurt Calem like that, I'd probably be in the same shape," Brendan stated in an understanding tone.

A few minutes later, Calem and Serena returned. By this point, Ash and Serena were more calm, but Calem and Brendan gave each other a look that said they needed to try and keep things light hearted.

Everyone started to eat quietly when Ash saw Pikachu taking a piece of toast off his plate, reminding him he forgot to feed his Pokémon. He quickly prepared food for them all, reminding everyone they also forgot. As the food was prepared, the Pokémon were released for breakfast, and the trainers apologized.

"So Ash, how have your gym battles been going? Brendan asked, after they sat back down to eat.

"Pretty good. Got four badges, heading to Valencia for my fifth," Ash replied.

"We just left there. That gym leader is tough. We both struggled with him," Calem chimed in.

"Both? You're both entering the Torrent League?" Serena asked.

"That's right. I wasn't planning on it at first, but after seeing Brendan training so hard for his gym battles, I don't know. I guess it just resparked that drive in me to challenge the leagues," Calem replied.

"That's great. I always find the leagues are more fun when competing with friends," Ash chimed in.

"But wouldn't that put both of you at a disadvantage when battling one another? I mean you probably train with one another, so you'll know how the other battles," Serena asked.

"Actually, it makes it even more interesting. It forces us to adapt mid battle, since we can predict how one another will battle, something we could face with other opponents," Brendan replied.

"We go back and forth beating one another. Sometimes I win, some times he wins. I mean just the other day I really beat the pants off of Brendan," Calem said with a smirk, putting emphasis on the last part of the statement.

"Wow, he beat you that bad?" Ash asked Brendan.

"It..It..It wasn't that bad," Brendan stuttered as he blushed.

Even though Ash didn't notice the blush, Serena did. Combining that with how Calem just spoke about beating Brendan, and Serena's knowledge of Calem and his tendency of making bets, she realized that Calem somehow literally beat Brendan's pants off of him.

The group finished breakfast and continued to talk, keeping things light hearted. Then suddenly the doors in the cafeteria that lead out to the battlefields swung opened, and a young man walked in. He was a little older than Ash and about the same height and build. He had wavy black hair and a clean shaven face, wore fitted dark wash blue jeans, a red button up shirt, and a black leather jacket.

"I am looking for strong opponents. Is there anyone in here who thinks they can stand up against me?!" The man yelled.

Many of the people in the cafeteria looked at one another, unsure of what to make of the man. Ash picked up his glass and chugged the rest of his water, then put the empty cup back down as he stood up.

"Well that's my que," Ash said to the people at his table as he stood up. "My name is Ash Ketchum, and I accept your challenge," Ash replied to the man.

"Battlefield three, now," he said, then walked off.

"Alright guys, let's go battle," Ash said to his Pokémon.

Most of Ash's Pokémon gave a determined cheer.

"Ash be careful. We met this guy in Valencia. He's bad news," Brendan stated.

"What do you mean?" Ash asked.

"His name's Damion, and he's a very strong, ruthless trainer. He aims to show his superiority over other trainers by finishing them quick and hard. My mega Absol was barley standing, and he had his Blaziken used blastburn to finish her off," Calem explained.

"That sounds a bit like overkill," Ash replied.

"I think that's the point. He wants to use this to intimidate his opponents. That and use ruthless tactics to inflict as much pain as possible to your Pokémon, so you don't want to face him again," Brendan explained.

Ash looked down at his Pokémon. They all heard what Brendan said, and they looked up with even more determination, as this made them all want to battle this opponent even more. The only one who didn't have this look was Larvesta, who was taking in the scene, and couldn't understand why the other Pokémon were this loyal to Ash.

Ash and the others made their way outside to the battlefield. Ash's Pokémon stood behind him out of their Pokéballs, while Calem and Serena stood off to the side. Upon seeing there wasn't a referee, Brendan volunteered for the position.

"Three on three work for you?" Damion asked with a cold voice.

"Works for me," Ash replied.

Damion turned to his left where there was a man wearing a suit standing, holding up an opened metal briefcase. Damion then reached in and pulled out a custom painted Pokéball that resembled a Pidgeot.

"Pidgeot, go," Damion said as he released his first choice.

"Alright then, a flying type battle. Fearow, I choose you!" Ash announced.

Fearow took to the air and flew over Ash, and waited in front of him.

"Both trainers ready?" Brendan asked.

Ash and Damion nodded.

"Battle begin!"

"Pidgeot, mega evolve!" Damion yelled as he revealed the key stone bracelet around his wrist. The bracelet however didn't look normal. It resembled what Alain wore when he worked for Team Flare.

Bands of light left the two stones and connected as Pidgeot mega evolved. Upon Pidgeot's mega evolution completing, Damion had a confident smirk on his face. However, it quickly faded to a look of frustration, as he saw both Ash and Fearow looked excited.

"Pidgeot, razor wind!" Damion yelled.

Pidgeot began flapping its wings, sending white crescent shaped blades of wind at Fearow.

"Dodge with agility, then use tailwind followed by drill peck!" Ash called out.

Fearow quickly dodges the attack, leaving a white trail of energy. He then flaps his wings creating a strong wind around himself, then charges at Pidgeot with blinding speed as his beak appears to be spinning like a drill.

"Pidgeot, dodge!"

Before Pidgeot could get away, Fearow's beak slams into Pidgeot's back, forcing it into the ground.

"Keep up the pressure. Razor wind," Ash calls out.

Fearow begins flapping his wings, sending white crescent shaped blades of wind at Pidgeot.

"Pidgeot, dodge now, then brave bird!" Damion roars.

Pidgeot manages to narrowly dodge the razor wind, then charges at Fearow as he becomes covered in a blue aura.

"Fearow, dodge it," Ash calls out.

Using the speed boost he gained from tailwind, he managed to narrowly dodge the attack. Pidgeot then came back again, clearly not allowing Fearow to get away. Seeing this, Ash knew dodging wasn't going to continue to work.

"Fearow, attack using sky attack and steel wing together!" Ash yelled.

Fearow's wings glowed white as his whole body became covered him an orange and gold sparkling aura. Fearow then quickly turned around and charged right at Pidgeot. The two Pokémon crashed into one another, creating a large explosion, and in seconds were seen falling to the ground. Both of them hit the ground with a thud and created small dust clouds around themselves. A second or two later, Fearow was seen, conscious but not moving, except for the small rapid movements of his chest as he breathed heavily. Then Pidgeot was seen fighting back up to its feet. Once back up, Pidgeot just stood there breathing heavily as Fearow just laid there.

"Fearow has till the count of ten to get back up, or will be declared unable to battle," Brendan said reluctantly.

Ash could read Fearow's aura. He was barely keeping conscious, and in a lot of pain, clearly in no shape to continue.

"Fearow's done. He can't continue," Ash stated.

"O...ok. Fearow is unable to battle," Brendan announced, not believing that Ash just said that.

Damion smirked again, as Pidgeot tried to stretch its wings and cry out in victory, but as Pidgeot tried, it became clear that he couldn't. As Pidgeot raised his left wing, it stopped and cried out in pain as it dropped to the ground.

"Pidgeot, get back up!" Damion demanded.

Brendan saw how Pidgeot reacted, and had a good idea what was wrong. He then walked up and examined Pidgeot's wing.

"Pidgeot's wing is sprained, and is unable to battle," Brendan announced.

Fearow smiled triumphantly, right before he passed out. Ash then returned him and thanked him.

"No, he is still conscious, so he can still battle!" Damion argued.

"Because of this injury, Pidgeot can barely move, and most definitely can't fly. Any Pokémon League referee has a right to declare a Pokémon unable to battle if the Pokémon has sustained serious enough injury, which I would say this is. Forcing him to continue would be just cruel. But if you disagree with me, feel free to bring it to Nurse so she can evaluate it. I'm sure your challenger won't mind waiting," Brendan stated.

"Humph, my time is too valuable to waste on that," Damion said, then returned Pidgeot to its Pokéball. "I'll deal with you later," Damion said to Pidgeot, then dropped the Pokéball onto the ground, as he reached for his next one.

Murmurs were heard from the crowd as he dropped the Pokéball as if it was nothing but trash. Damion then grabbed his next custom Pokéball, and let it fly.

"Blaziken, Go!" Damion called out, as the man beside him in the suit picked up Pidgeot's Pokéball.

The fire and fighting type takes the field and enters a battle stance. Quickly, Ash notices a mega stone in a bracelet around its wrist. Ash is mildly impressed, as having one mega stone is rare, but two is even more so. But he also knew that this wasn't going to be a threat, since Damion already mega evolved his Pidgeot. Ash then looks to Pikachu, who had been cheering by his feet.

"So what do you think, buddy?" Ash asked, although they already knew the answer.

"Let's me at him! I'd love a good battle right now," Pikachu replied in Pokémon speech.

"That's the spirit, buddy. Pikachu, I choose you!" Ash announced.

Pikachu took the field with his cheeks sparking, ready to fight. However, Damion looked at Pikachu with disgust.

"What kind of joke is this?! Send in a strong Pokémon like your Greninja, or that Lucario standing behind you. Don't waste my time with that rat!" Damion spat.

"Pika!" Pikachu yelled back angrily.

"If you want a good strong battle, then Pikachu can deliver. He's beaten a Regice, and tied with a Latios, and has beaten plenty of mega evolved Pokémon," Ash stated.

"Your kidding me? That little electric rat?" Damion questioned.

Ash merely nodded.

Damion shrugged, "Fine! It's his funeral."

Damion then touched the key stone on his wrist.

"BLAZIKEN, MEGA EVOLVE!"
