AN: I have decided to turn this story into a harem one, kinda. （￣～￣;）Now now, I understand your confusion but I wanted to include a less popular shape in my book so for the story, ash will  fall in love with two girls Serena and Aria. Yes,  it is an amourshipping and  KalosKingshipping(ashxaria) book.  I understand but please,  Please just understand my love for this ship!! And also a special sorry To MinunAmour since he  must have been  disappointed in me. He  must have thought while making the cover that it was an Amourshipping book!!😭😭 Sorry I turned to the Dark Side of The fandom!! But I know you are a nice guy and if you are reading this you will forgive me!! 😄😄(I hope so 😅😅😅)

Ash's POV
I still can't believe that I have committed such a mistake. It can only mean two things, either I intentionally made the biggest and stupidest mistake of my entire life or that my old age is really starting to get the better of me. In both cases, I am totally screwed. Greninja just kept looking at me with a face half of surprise, half of anger and a bit of mockery and teasing. Oh come on! Not you too greninja! Anyways, the champions said that we would have to set camp and we would set course to the temple at dawn. Luckily we did not have to sleep outside as the lodge had plenty of rooms and the champions took the liberty of paying for the rooms. I went into my room and contacted my old friend. Within mere moments, lucario entered the room. He said while kneeling down on one knee, "You summoned me master?" I answered him and said "Rise lucario, yes, I summoned you for discussing an important matter." As soon as he heard my words and stood up, he had a smug grin on his face. But he paused for a moment and replied, "I understand master, but before that, I think someone is excited for meeting you." he said while pointing towards my bag. Once I realized what he was talking about, I rushed to my bag and opened it hurriedly. But soon as I opened it, I received a thunderbolt to the face. Lucario and greninja just sighed as pikachu jumped out of the bag, stomping his foot on the ground angrily. "Pika! Pika! Pi! Pika! (You promised to let me out as soon as possible!).  At this greninja only chuckled while lucario sighed. "So master, seeing the conditions, I suggest you to continue your act. It is the best option for you. "
I nodded in understanding but lucario had another question ready for me. "So master, I have another question, what are you planning to do about your second crush?" he asked with a sly grin on his face. I quickly realized what he was talking about and replied while stuttering "I - I think it's just a celebrity crush, nothing more!" Lucario spoke with a questioning look on his face and said "But you have met so many famous people and even girls who have traveled with you but you never had a crush on them, then why her? ". I stayed silent unable to say anything out of embarrassment  but lucario  understood it and said "But don't worry master, it won't matter that much because of your  lineage, you can also married to two women."
"What!!!" I shouted in disbelief
"Don't be stupid lucario! There's not even a remote possibility of it happening!" I said while looking the other way. Lucario chuckled and said "Oh, and there's not a remote possibility of you returning to that temple after all these years". I turned behind to answer him but he was already gone. Ugh!! I really hate it when he does that! Anyhow, I make  to my bed in order to sleep.  The next morning I woke up to find out that, greninja was  on a scouting mission all the night.  I sighed, knowing that it was just his nature and I could not change it and besides, he loves being one with the dark.  Nevertheless, I got up and saw that all my friends along with the Champions  were waiting for me including Mr Xavier. Serena was the first to greet me.  She cheerfully said" Hello and good morning ash! How was your sleep?"I replied to her with a smile on my face, "It was quite nice and I hope that we get to see something exciting today!" but in my mind I hoped  that nothing exciting comes off today because I really don't want to spoil my secret. Suddenly Bonnie said with a grin on her face "You seem to care a lot about ash and his sleep, don't you serena? It's as if you want to sleep with.. " Before she could say anything more serena covered her mouth and shouted while her face was red "Bonnie! Please keep your mouth shut for once!!" Seeing this everyone including the champions let out a hearty laugh except for Mr. Xavier. Confused by the ordeal, I made my way out of the lodge towards the temple. As we made our way to  the temple, I had kept a constant watch on Mr. Xavier who was trying to get close with Serena.  Luckily his attempts were screwed  and unsuccessful as serena  tried to get as far away from him as possible. We made our  way to the temple and it filled me with a sense of nostalgia. Outside the temple, I saw  professor Sycamore along with his assistant waiting for us. He was surprised as he clearly was not expecting some extra guests. He said while almost screaming, "Ash! what are you doing here at this secret location  and that too with the champions! Are you sure they invited you!" Ms. Cynthia merely chuckled and said "Don't worry professor, ash along with his friends wanted to explore the temple, didn't you ash?" I simply nodded in order to continue my act but suddenly I heard a voice which definitely was more melodious than meloetta and equally melodious as Serena's. It was if someone were screaming "Professor! Who are you talking to? After that I saw  someone who I never expected to see again, the princess of kalos, Miss. Aria herself.

I thought in my mind, Damn it lucario!! You had to jinx it! If I get through this ordeal I am going to stop his chocolate supply for a decade!!  Miss. Aria saw me and said while stuttering "A- Ash! What a pl- pleasant surprise it is to see you here !". Her face was clearly red due due to some reason and  it was just like Serena's face yesterday.  Is this some sort of illness that is spreading among women? Regardless I decided to calm  myself down and replied "I understand your surprise Miss. Aria since it was highly improbable and unexpected of me to come here but regardless, It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance once again on this fine morning mademoisselle!" After I finished I saw everyone was looking at  me with  a surprised expression on their face 😮😮😯😯 . I quickly understood the cause of their surprise as I realized that in my embarrassment(and excitement)
of seeing Miss. Aria I spoke in my Royal accent and used a word from the old kalosian dialect!! Flustered, I said "I - I just saw those things on TV! Isn't that how you're supposed to talk to royalty!"After hearing it almost everyone except Miss. Aria and serena face palmed. Miss. Aria just said while giggling "Oh ash!  You really are something else!" I scratched my nose nervously. Suddenly Miss Aria said "Hello pikachu! Good morning!" to which pikachu merely replied Pika!Pi!(Admit it you all read that in pikachu's voice in your mind!!😂😂😂) Man!I really am starting to forget about pikachu!(Me too ash,Me too😂😂) I guess it must probably because of my old age... Suddenly out of nowhere, greninja along with virizion entered the scene. Greninja merely greeted me with a nod but Virizon bowed down and touched my feet with her head. Along with her, cobalion and terrakion surrounded Mr Xavier  and said angrily,  "So you are that filthy mortal who enslaved virizion and even disrespected Lord!" Seeing Mr. Xavier's terrified face filled me with satisfaction but still I shouted "The Swords of justice! True to your name you must serve justice! And for that purpose I order you stand down!!" My sudden change in tone terrified everyone except Miss. Aria and serena. The swords of justice simply nodded and stepped back. Miss. Aria and professor sycamore were more surprised than terrified. I quickly explained the situation to them.
After my explanation was done professor sycamore stood up and nearly shouted in his kalosian accent "Marvelous! Truly marvelous! Researchers and trainers alike waste their entire life only to get a glimpse  of legendary pokemon and here you are, commanding and ordering an entire trio of them!"
Miss. Aria said shyly "But ash,  why are they so cross with that guy over there?" I merely replied "The truth is, Mr. Xavier here enslaved virizion against her will and even tried to attack me when he lost a match against me, fairly and square." After hearing this,  Miss. Aria seemed furious for some reason. Instead of her calm tone, she  replied angrily "How dare you attack ash! And that too just because you lost a match! And on top of that you enslaved a legendary! You don't deserve to be a trainer! Because of people like you, the image of the entire kalos region gets spoiled!" I myself was surprised seeing the quick change in her tone, while Mr. Xavier kept his silence. I decided to calm her down and said, "Please calm down, Ms. Aria" she let out a sigh and said "Very well ash, if you say so..."but I asked her another question,  "But what are you doing  here Miss. Aria?" she said without any hesitation "Since I am the princess of kalos region, it is my duty to be present at any historic site which may or may not contain a significant importance to the history of the world. "suddenly Steven stone,  the champion of Hoenn region,  said with a smirk on his face, "And there is no other reason or should I say another person because  of which  you want to visit here Miss. Aria?" Miss. Aria's   face turned red and she looked  the other way.  I decided to shrug  that off as the others kept laughing except Serena and Mr Xavier. Virizon and the swords of justice said, "Lord with your permission,  we would like to accompany you inside the temple.."I thought for a second and simply nodded while Virizon went ahead along the other two to speak with Serena and Miss.  Aria but they spoke with them in a closed connection telepathy because of which I could not hear them. I wonder what they are talking about??

Aria's POV

I saw virizion and the other other legendaries approach me and serena. Virizion was the first to speak, "So your Highness, with your permission, we would like to carry you on our backs as we navigate inside the temple. " We both were shocked to hear this. But Serena was the first to reply, she said, "I can understand why you are calling and treating  aria with respect since she is royalty but why me?" Cobalion merely laughed and said, "Of course we must treat you both with respect! You are the future life partners of master!!" Serena and I only listened to them with disbelief until realization hit us and we quickly covered our red faces!!
Terakion let out a hearty laugh and said "It does not require one to be a psychic type to see how much you both love master equally!" Serena quickly asked me while stuttering "S-So when d-did you love with a-ash?" I was surprised since I didn't expect that question but nevertheless I calmed myself down and said "I was proposed by many suitors but I rejected them all since I felt no sort of connection to them. But when you first saw ash, I felt some sort of weird attraction towards him. I-I think it turned into love when I first danced with him. He ignited in me some sort of a fire that I have never felt before. I then realized that I had fell in love with my raven haired crush!" Serena just kept her head down, not saying anything. I instantly said "But don't worry serena! I won't come between you and ash!I mean, if being with you makes him happy, then I am happy too! But I have a small question...." Serena took a deep breath and simply nodded. I asked her, "If ash loved both of us, would you mind sharing him?"

Serena's POV

I was shocked to hear aria say that. I certainly wasn't expecting to hear her say that. I just said "I-I d-don't know... "Aria sighed and said "It's alright... " Luckily ash entered the scene and asked us to hurry up. I obliged and sat on virizion's back while aria sat on terakion. Ad we made our way inside the temple we saw a number of carvings depicting the aura Guardian's adventures. But my and aria's attention was focused on a raven haired boy. Suddenly we halted as we come across a stone wall that bore some kind of inscription. Aria and I got down as we saw ash trying to  inspect it. Suddenly ash spoke in some sort of weird language, "candidiora die mediis noctibus fugerint mala mihi. Qui virtutem colunt mali timent meas aura lucis custos"
We all kept looking at ash in surprise as ash read the inscription. After that, ash spoke in a normal language, "The oath of the Aura Guardian, In the brightest day, in the blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, FEAR MY POWER, THE AURA GUARDIAN 'S LIGHT!"
Suddenly alder the champion of unova, said "How the hell are you able to read the language of the ancients ash?"  Before Ash could say anything three nets came out of nowhere and captured the swords of justice. A voice emanated from the shadows and it said "You never cease to amaze me, ketchum... " Suddenly a man with red hair appeared along with atleast a hundred armed men, it was Lysander, leader of team flare. He said "Ash ketchum, surrender now or all your friends die!" Ash merely let out a laugh and said, "You think you can defeat me and that too here?? You are sorely mistaken! Lucario, lets give them the last show of their life!!" Out of nowhere, a lucario jumped in front of us whilst bowing on one knee with its arm on the ground. He landed with so much force that the ground shattered.  Ash said in a devilish tone "Lucario, execute Order 66.. "
Lucario nodded and in the blink of an eye he  started to tear down the soldiers with his bare hands. Aria said in q frightened tone "Order 66... It's a militaristic term used by Generals in older times. An army with this order had one goal, Ravage everything in their path... " Suddenly a soldier in fright, fired a bullet at ash. Aria and I both screamed at the same time but it was too late for ash to dodge it. Afterwards we saw a splatter of blood on the ground, but it wasn't Ash's, it was of pikachu.. After the bullet hit him his whole body started to turn pitch black. Ash kept looking at pikachu's dead body in disbelief as he fell to his knees. He gently picked up his body in his Hands and said softly, "Lucario, return... " Lucario hesitated for a second,  but he returned unwillingly. After that,  the remaining soldiers came and captured all of us except ash.

NO ONE'S POV

After that Lysander let out a maniacal laughter and said "It's no use ash, the poison in the bullet was... " Before he could complete his sentence, ash said in an eerie tone, "Necroprotus... The toxin of evil, capable of killing someone and turning them into a monster..." Lysander looked at him in disbelief while ash let out a laugh which was a part pain, a part of wrath and a large part of insanity. Suddenly a blue glow emanated from Ash's hand and soon it covered pikachu. After a few moments, the light went back into ash's body as pikachu's body disappeared. Ash got up and from his fingers one could clearly see, were protruding blue claws, each atleast three inches long. Terrified, lysander ordered his men to attack him. But when one of them tried to attack him, ash simply passed his hand into his stomach and it came out through his mouth. After ash pulled back his hand, everyone saw ash had that dead soldier's heart in his hands. He threw it on the ground and crushed it with his feet. He went on to kill each and every soldier who stood in his path. Some he merely tore in half, while some he killed be crushing their skulls with his bare hands. Some who were  unfortunate enough had to see their lower body being torn in half from their waist. They would still die a slow and painful death due to blood loss... Many of them tried to run away but ash made sure that whoever tried to run, would suffer a more painful death. Between his carnage, ash let out me maniacal laugh and said, "You bang On The Devil's door and expect him to invite you in, but the only a invitation you are getting is on his dinner platter!!" after that Ash  continued to slaughter everyone who came in his path, whether human or pokemon. Lysander terrified to see this carnage spoke on his holo caster in a terrified tone, "Get me out of here now!!!" Suddenly the roof bursted and a helicopter threw a ladder for lysander on which he quickly got inside the helicopter. Any grunt who tried to get up was simply pushed down by lysander. Ash rushed in order to catch him and shouted, "Come back here you filthy swine! Stand and face me like a man you filthy mortal!!" But before ash could catch him Serena stood in his way and said, "Ash stop it! Stop this bloodshed!" Ash said to her in a tone of anger, "Serena get out of my way! This bloodshed will only stop when I finally drink my Lysander's blood from his Skull!!" To say Serena was terrified would be an understatement.  She said to him,  "You are not acting like the ash I know!! Look at you! You are becoming a monster!!" After hearing those words ash stopped in his path and fell down on his knees.  He looked at his blood covered hands and immediately his claw were retracted back into his fingers. Ash said to lucario "Lucario, contact the nearest ones in this area! I want transport ready as soon as possible ;right now!!" Ash got up and wiped  his hands with a  handkerchief and stormed his way out of the temple. The others ran behind him in order to see where he was going.  Outside they were greeted with a sight that they were truly not expecting; they saw lugia and  ho-oh and the kanto Bird trio and  the legendary beasts (dogs) of johto waiting for Ash...
