[Pallet town, Ash's house, inside his room]

Ash was wearing a black suit, while Serena was wearing a white bridal dress. Ash was carrying Serena in his arms, as he walked up to his bed and placed Serena on it.

Ash looked back at the door of his room, just to double check if it was closed and locked. He turned his head towards Serena, who was looking at him in a love-filled manner. Her cheeks were completely red.

"Come on, Serena--- Now's our chance---" Ash said, getting on top of her. "As a newly married couple---" He added, as he leaned towards Serena's face.

Serena wrapped her arms around Ash's face, and the two leaned into each other. 

Suddenly---

"Whip it out, Ashy-Boy" An echoing voice said. The voice belonged to Gary.

"Huh?" Ash said, looking around. He looked at the door once more, but couldn't see anyone. "Weird." He said to himself, before turning his head back towards Serena.

"AAAH!" Ash screamed, as soon as he looked at Serena's face, which was now gone and was replaced with Gary's face. The Bridal dress remained, and so did Serena's body.

"Come on, whip it out, Ashy-Boy--- you know what I'm talkin' about" Gary said to Ash, as he firmly placed his hand on Ash's crotch and gripped it tight.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" Ash yelled loudly.

Suddenly--- 

"AH!" Ash exclaimed, as he got up from his bed. It was night time, and the lights were turned off. Everything was faintly illuminated due to the faint white moonlight coming from the window of Ash's room.

Ash looked at his side, where Serena was lying down in her pajamas and in deep sleep. Ash looked at his body, seeing that he was also in his pajamas.

"Phew--- Thank goodness--- what a nightmare---" Ash said to himself, wiping the sweat off of his forehead. He then lied back on the bed, right next to Serena.

(In Ash's thoughts) "The last few days--- have been quite different---" Ash said to himself, looking straight at the ceiling.

(In Ash's thoughts) "Serena's been really trying her best to help me with my training--- I hope it all pays off in the end--- just one more day to go till my Elite Challenge---" Ash said to himself, placing his arm over his forehead.

(In Ash's thoughts) "Totodile evolved into Croconaw barely an hour after Gary told him he was too weak to be a part of my Elite Four Team. Guess I'll have to make sure to at least give him once chance at that" Ash said to himself, thinking back at what happened a day ago.

Ash looked at the wall at the edge of his room, filled with his achievements so far. He turned his sights towards the P1 Grand Prix belts, and then at the Entrance Outfit Hawlucha wore when he competed in the Kalos League.

(In Ash's thoughts) "Hawlucha's been acting really stubborn after being told he's gonna be missing out on competing with me for the title of Elite Champion--- He even tore the casts off of his neck and arm just so he could train with us yesterday---" Ash said to himself.

*sigh* Ash sighed deeply, thinking about what happens next. 

"huh?" Serena said, as she woke up. "Everything okay, Ash?" She asked in a sleepy manner as she rubbed her eye.

"Y-Yeah---" Ash replied. "Just--- having trouble sleeping" He added.

Serena leaned towards Ash, and kissed him on the cheek. "Everything will be fine, Ash" She said. "I believe in you" She added, before closing her eyes and placing her head on Ash's shoulder.

"Thanks, Serena---" Ash said to Serena, as he wrapped his arm around her.

"You're welcome, Ash--- G'night" Serena said while smiling and blushing, as she went back to sleep.

"G'night" Ash said, as he closed his eyes.

...

...

[One Day later, The Indigo Plateau]

Ash, Serena, and Gary were at the waiting area of the Arena. Ash was sitting on a bench along with Serena, while Gary was standing in front of him, holding a laptop in his hand.

"Okay, Ashy-Boy" Gary said, typing something on the laptop. "I searched all there is known about Will's Pokemon, and all I've managed to find solid proof of is that he uses a Metagross, a Medicham, and a Gardevoir. No idea on the rest of the three." Gary said. 

"Hmm---" Ash said, thinking deep.

Gary kept on typing something on his laptop. "He most likely has a diverse team even though his main Pokemon typing is Psychic." Gary said.

"Yea---" Ash said while in deep thoughts.

"You'll be fine, Ash" Serena said. "Just don't think too much about it and give it your best shot!" She added, forming a fist.

"Thanks, Serena--- Gary---" Ash said, looking at the two.

Suddenly, a door in the distance opened up, with a Nurse Joy coming in from it. She was joined by a Chansey, who was pushing a cart that had Five Pokeballs and Pikachu on it.

"Hello, Ash. I am glad to say that your Pokemon are fighting fit for your first battle!" Nurse Joy said, as Pikachu jumped off of the steel cart and ran up to Ash. "We hope you excel!" Nurse Joy added.

"Pika-Pi!" Pikachu said, as he jumped up into Ash's arms.

"Ahha! Glad to see you're doing great, buddy!" Ash said to Pikachu, as Pikachu crawled up to Ash's shoulder and sat on it. 

"Thanks a lot, Nurse Joy!" Ash said, while looking at Nurse Joy as he got up on his feet and grabbed his Pokeballs.

"That one Pokeball has a different pattern on it--- What team did you choose, Ash?" Serena asked.

"You'll see---" Ash replied, smiling as he got ready for his battle.

A few Moments later---

Serena and Gary were seated at the VIP section of the Arena.

"Hope Ashy-boy knows how to cover all of the weaknesses of his Pokemon" Gary said, looking on at the empty Battlefield which was a standard Dirt field.

"What do you mean?" Serena asked Gary in a concerned manner.

"The Elite Four are on a completely different level than the Trainers Ashy-Boy is used to battling." Gary said. "Will probably knows that he's gonna face Bug, Dark, and Ghost-type Pokemon, so he'll make sure his Pokemon have moves that can counter those types" He added.

"Ash can do it--- he knows that he'll be facing Psychic-type Pokemon, so he still has one advantage already." Serena said, looking up at the huge screen above the battlefield, which had a VS picture of Ash and Will on it.

Announcer: "Ladieeeeeeeeeeees---- AAaaaaaaand Gentlemeeeeen!!! Welcome to this year's Elite Four challenge! What a tremendous clear day for an exciting series of battles! The first match is about to begin, as the Indigo Conference Winner Ash Ketchum faces the first Elite Four Member Will!"

*Crowd Cheers*

Announcer: "We await for the Challenger now, as the cameraman focuses on the point of entry. Thousands of Pokemon fans around the world, including Family and Friends are ready for today's great event!"

*Crowd Cheers*

Ash walked through the hallways, with his best buddy Pikachu on his shoulder. He walked into the bright light, and out into the edge of the battlefield.

[In Pallet Town]

"Ohh--- I hope my little Ash wins today--- he's been training so hard ever since he got back from Alola---" Delia said.

"Don't worry, Delia--- Ash will do just fine!" Professor Oak said.

"Although he sure picked a colorful team to go up against Will" Tracey said.

"Be on alert, Tracey. Make sure each and every one of Ash's Pokemon are fighting fit in case he asks for any of them" Professor Oak said.

"Y-Yes, Professor. I'll go do a double-check." Tracey said, as he left.

[At the Cerulean City Gym]

"So he's finally taking on the Elite Four and Champion---" Misty said, looking at the TV in her Gym.

[In the Hoenn Region]

[In the Sinnoh Region]

"I wonder how weird it'll be to meet Ash again after he wins and Becomes the Elite Champion of two whole Regions." Brock said, working on his original recipe Pokemon Food for Dawn's Piplup.

"I wonder if he wins--- I hope so---" Dawn said, looking at the TV.

[In a random Pokemon Center in the world]

"Hmm---" Paul said, looking back at the TV where Ash's battle was about to be broadcast live.

[The Kalos Region]

"Serena just wouldn't talk about anything else besides Ash's matches today--- guess we should cheer him on." Grace said, looking at the live stream of the battle.

[At Professor Sycamore's Lab]

"Huh?" Alain said, as his sights got set on the TV. "It's starting already?" He asked himself, as he walked up and stood in front of the TV.

Professor Sycamore and Sophie were walking by from the hall, and noticed Alain standing and watching TV. "Is everything okay, Alain? Why are you not doing the task I gave you?" The Professor Asked.

"It's Ash--- He's taking on the Elite Four and Champion of the Indigo Plateau" Alain said.

"This is Marvelous! I want to watch it too!" The Professor said, as he walked forwards.

Sophie quickly stepped forwards and stood in front of the Professor. "Our Wedding won't go as planned if we keep getting off-schedule!" She said to the Professor, while holding her head in pain. Her left hand had a ring with a Keystone in it.

"I know, Honey" Professor Sycamore said to Sophie, grabbing her hand. "That's why, We'll do double the effort once we're done watching the battle! Isn't that right, Alain?" He said while looking at Alain.

"Yeah--- whatever you say, Professor." Alain said, with his sights set on the TV.

"*sigh* All right, Augustine---" Sophie said to the Professor.

"Marvelous!" Professor Sycamore said, turning his sights towards the TV.

[In the Alola Region]

"Must--- keep--- eyes--- open----" Lillie said, as she struggled to keep her eyes open. She was lying down in bed, watching the live broadcast on her white PokeGear in the middle of the night.

(Muffled voice) "Lillie dear--- you're not using that PokeGear in the middle of the night, are you? The download speeds are getting low." Lusamine's voice came from the door of Lillie's room.

Lillie didn't respond, and quickly pretended to sleep as she locked her PokeGear instantly.

At the rest of Ash's Alola friends----

*Snoring loudly*

[At the Aether Paradise, Aether Island]

Gladion was in a huge dimly-lit hall, and sitting on a couch in front of a 96-inch Curved TV. Ash was visible on-screen.

"Master Gladion--- why did you want to come here at this ungodly hour---? *Yawn*" The Butler Hobbs asked.

"Mom wouldn't stop bugging me and telling me to go to sleep if I saw Ash's battle at home. Also, Pokemon Battles look epic on this giant curved screen Mom got for the researchers." Gladion said to Hobbs, while having his eyes locked at the huge TV screen.

"S-Sure--- *yawn*" Butler Hobbs replied, yawning and rubbing his eyes.

------

[Back to the Venue of the Battle]

Ash looked around at the huge crowd present in the arena, cheering for him loudly. He smiled, and then adjusted his hat while looking at the opposite edge, as his first Elite Four opponent: Will entered the battlefield.

"Welcome to the Pokemon Elite Four Challenge! Allow me to introduce myself. I am Will. I have trained all around the world, making my Psychic-type Pokemon powerful. And, at last, I've been accepted into the Elite Four. I can only keep getting better! Losing is not an option for me!" Will said.

"Losing isn't an option me either!" Ash said, forming a fist.

The referee came up and stood at the edge of the battlefield. "This will be an official Elite League Battle! Only Will will be allowed to make any substitutes in their Pokemon." The referee said.

"Wait. No substitutions for me?" Ash said in a surprised manner.

The referee continued. "There will be a limit of only One Mega-Evolution per Battle. That includes the Bond Phenomenon in the Challenger's case" The Referee said, looking at Ash.

Ash nodded his head, while thinking. (In Ash's thoughts) "I need to be sure about which Pokemon I'm gonna use with it's complete powers---" Ash said to himself.

The referee continued. "Furthermore, The Challenger will be required to choose their Pokemon before Will." The referee said. "As a Psychic-type Specialist, Will is required to use a minimum of Four Psychic-Type Pokemon during this match." He added.

The referee then looked at Will. "What are your Battle conditions?" He asked Will.

"A 6-on-6. Single Battles. Keep the classic Dirt Battlefield. I like it plain and simple" Will replied, getting ready.

"Okay then! This will be a 6-on-6 Full battle!" The referee said, and then turned towards Ash. "Choose your first Pokemon!" He said to Ash.

"Uh---" Ash said, as he went for his waist and took out a Pokeball. "My first Pokemon! Go! Butterfree! I choose you!" He said, throwing the Pokeball in the air.

*Pop*

"Freeee-e-e-e!" Butterfree exclaimed, as he came out of his Pokeball, flapping his wings in front of Ash.

Announcer: "Ash has chosen a Butterfree! Will we see some precise strategies from Ash this time just like in the Indigo Conference?" 

[At the VIP section]

"Butterfree--?" Serena said in a surprised manner.

Gary face-palmed. "What a dumbass" He said. "Just because he got lucky the last time, doesn't mean that Butterfree is a powerhouse Pokemon--- Ashy-Boy's gonna get a reality check soon." He added.

[Back to the Battlefield]

"A Butterfree? Are you sure you picked the correct Pokeballs?" Will asked.

"Nope!" Ash replied, forming a fist. "Butterfree's the first Pokemon I ever caught! So it's the first Pokemon I'm gonna use today! No matter what anyone thinks!" He added. "Pika-Pika!" Pikachu said, forming a fist as well.

"Hmm--- very well, let's see what your Butterfree is capable of doing with typing match-up alone" Will said, throwing a Pokeball in the air.

*Pop*

"Grrrump--PIG!" Will's Grumpig exclaimed as it came out of it's Pokeball, ready to battle.

Announcer: "And the first Pokemon chosen by Will is a Grumpig! The Battle is about to begin!"

*Crowd Cheers*

"The first move will be chosen by coin toss!" The referee said, taking out a coin from his pocket. He tossed the coin and slapped it on his wrist. "Will get's the first move!" He said, aiming a Flag towards Will.

Announcer: "And Will get's to make the first Move! Looks like the challenger Ash is off to a 'Buggy' start!"

"Battle Begin!" The referee said, raising the flags up in the air.

"Grumpig! Use Power Gem!" Will said in a serious manner, looking straight ahead.

"Gruuuum---PIG!" Grumpig exclaimed, as the two jewel-like circular parts on Grumpig's forehead glowed red. It then fired a pale pink beam of energy with a bright white energy around it from the jewel aimed straight at Butterfree.

"A rock-type move?!" Ash said with wide open eyes. "Butterfree! Quick! Dodge it!" He exclaimed.

"Free?!" Butterfree said in a shocked manner with popped open eyes, as the attack hit him.

*BOOM*

"AH!" Ash said, as he looked at Butterfree get launched away and hit the wall behind him, forming a small crater. Butterfree's body was completely covered in marks, as it fell down towards the ground.

"Butterfree!" Ash said, looking at Butterfree. Butterfree tried to get up, but then collapsed with spirals in his eyes.

"Butterfree is unable to battle! Grumpig wins!" The referee said, as he raised a flag towards Grumpig.

Announcer: "WHOA! A one-hit Knockout! Looks like this event might be just one battle long!" 

*Crowd boos*

[At the VIP section]

"What?! They're booing him?!" Serena said in a surprised manner, looking around at the crowd.

"Makes sense. They're not here to see Pokemon like Butterfree get knocked out in a single hit" Gary said.

[Back to the Battlefield]

"They're--- mad---?" Ash said, looking around.

"piiika---" Pikachu said in a sad manner, looking around at the whole jam-packed stadium.

"Looks like they hate you already" Will said to Ash. "Might as well just leave now with the ounce of self-respect you have. You look dumb this way, kid" He added.

"Have you tried a mirror?" Ash asked Will, ignoring the crowd. "I don't care what other's think of me! I'm just getting warmed up!" He added, forming a fist. "Pika-Pika!" Pikachu said, forming a fist as well.

Ash aimed a Pokeball at Butterfree and called it back. "Don't worry, buddy--- we'll take care of this. Thanks for being a part of my first battle." He said, putting the Pokeball away and taking out another one.

"Go! Greninja! I choose you!" Ash said, throwing a Pokeball in the air.

*Pop*

"Gren-Nin-Ja!" Greninja exclaimed, as he stood in front of Ash, ready to battle.

[In the VIP section]

"What? He's choosing Greninja already?!" Gary said.

"He might have a trick up his sleeve--- Don't go bananas just yet" Serena said.

[Back to the Battlefield]

"Agh-- Let's show him how much strong we really are! Together!" Ash exclaimed, forming a fist. Greninja did the same, as he formed a fist.

"Nin--JAAA!!" Greninja yelled, as a vortex of water formed around his body completely. The vortex split, and went straight into his back and formed a giant Water Shuriken.

"Ninja!" Greninja said, getting ready with his sights set on Grumpig.

The referee looked at Will. "Would you like to make a substitution?" He asked.

"No" Will replied in a serious manner, looking straight at Greninja standing still in it's Ash-Greninja Form. "I will show him the power of Psychic-types is superior above all!" He added.

"All right, Greninja! It's time to even up the score! Night Slash let's go!" Ash said, waving his arms and going into his rhythm.

*Ash-Greninja theme plays*

"Nin-jA!"

"Grumpig! Signal Beam!" Will said.

*BOOM*

Announcer: "Will is down to Five Pokemon!"

"Metagross! Use Meteor Mash!" Will said.

"Night Slash and end this!" Ash said.

*BOOM*

Announcer: "WHOA! Will is down to Four Pokemon!"

"Jynx! ICE Beam!" Will yelled.

"Aura Sphere to Counter it, Greninja!" Ash exclaimed.

*BOOM*

Announcer: "Will is down to Three Pokemon!"

"Medicham! HI-Jump kick!" Will said.

"Dodge it!" Ash said instantly, causing Medicham to miss and go straight towards the stiff ground.

*CRASH*

"Aerial Ace let's GO!" Ash yelled.

*BOOM*

Announcer: "Will is down to Two Pokemon!"

"Xatu! Use Quick Attack!" Will said.

"Night Slash and end this!" Ash exclaimed.

Greninja smashed his fists and unsheathed his dark purple sword, while Will's Xatu came charging towards him with it's body glowing with a white outline.

"Nin--JA!!!!" Greninja yelled, slashing his Purple Sword on an incoming Xatu.

*BOOM*

Announcer: "WHOAAAA!!! Will is down to his LAST Pokemon, while Ash still has FIVE Pokemon remaining!!! History is being made, folks!"

*Crowd Wildly cheers*

Ash looked around the whole stadium, with a smile on his face as he adjusted his hat. He then looked at Will in the distance. "I haven't broken a sweat, will! Hit me with your best shot!" He exclaimed.

Will aimed a Pokeball at his Xatu, calling it back. He then took out his last Pokeball and threw it.

*Pop*

"Gaaar-devoir!" Will's last Pokemon: Gardevoir exclaimed as it came out of it's Pokeball. It had a Megastone hanging by it's neck by a locket.

"We Psychics don't give up even when we're down to the last Pokemon! That's what makes us so formidable!" Will yelled.

"Well, then show me!" Ash said, forming a fist.

"Here's my full power!" Will said, as he took out a Keystone from his pocket. The keystone glowed bright, as it reacted to the Megastone hanging from Gardevoir's neck.

"Gaarr---de-VOIR!" Gardevoir exclaimed, as her body glowed and transformed into Mega-Gardevoir.

Announcer: "Will's Gardevoir has Mega-Evolved! will it be enough for him to turn the tide? This battle will prove it all!"

"Greninja! Water Shuriken let's go!" Ash said, raising his arm just like Greninja, who pulled the Water Shuriken on his back and launched it straight towards Gardevoir.

"Gardevoir! Moonblast!" Will said, as his Gardevoir put it's hands together and formed a pink ball of energy between them.

The two attacks hit each other mid-air, canceling each other out.

*BOOM*

"Greninja! Water Shuriken! Full power!" Ash said, as Greninja grabbed the Water Shuriken from his back and raised it above his body.

(In Ash's thoughts) "As scary as that Nightmare I had---" Ash said to himself, as his eyes glowed with a dark purple Aura.

Suddenly, the Water Shuriken above Greninja shifted colors from Blue to a dark Purple color, turning into a Ghost-Type Shadow Shuriken.

"What the---? Gardevoir! Double Team!" Will said, looking at Greninja's Shadow Shuriken and then ordering his Pokemon.

"Gar-devoir!" "Voir!" "Voir!" "Voir!" Gardevoir exclaimed, as she formed multiple copies of herself around the whole battlefield.

"Not gonna work!" Ash said with glowing blue eyes, as he looked at the Aura of the multiple fake copies. He easily spotted the real one. "That! That's the real one! Greninja! Use Shadow Shuriken!" He exclaimed, pointing at one of the multiple copies.

"Nin--JA!" Greninja exclaimed, throwing the huge dark Shuriken straight at the real Gardevoir.

*BOOM*

Dust formed and cleared, revealing that the fake copies had disappeared, and a single Mega-Gardevoir lying on the ground with spirals in it's eyes as it reverted from it's Mega-Evolved form.

"Gardevoir is unable to battle! Greninja wins! Which means that Ash Ketchum moves on to the next round!" The referee said, raising a flag towards Ash.

Announcer: "I can't believe it! Ash just swept Will's complete team with just Greninja!"

*Crowd Cheers*

Ash stood still, as Greninja reverted from his Ash-Greninja form and looked back at Ash.

"Ninja!" Greninja said in a serious manner, forming a fist. Ash did the same.

"I--- can't--- believe it---" Will said, as he fell to his knees. "My whole team of strong Psychic-Type Pokemon--- taken out by a single Dark-Type?" He said to himself.

"That's what Greninja and I are all about, Will!" Ash said. "We just keep on getting stronger and stronger and we don't look back!" He added.

Will looked at Ash, as he got back on his feet. "Very well--- move on forwards--- But remember--- I am the least strongest of the Elite Four. You won't win this easily with the rest of them!" He said to Ash, before calling his Gardevoir back to it's Pokeball and leaving.

About 15 Minutes later---

The Crowd cheered, as Ash and Koga entered the two separate edges of the battlefield.

"Ash!" Koga said. "It's been years since we both battled--- when you used that Charmander of yours to defeat me in the Fuchsia City Gym---" He said, pointing at Ash.

"Yeah! It sure has!" Ash replied.

"Your father tells me you have mastered in the art of Ninjitsu--- I must congratulate you on that before we proceed---" Koga said.

"Thanks--- Thanks a lot, Koga!" Ash replied.

"Now--- Show me how much stronger you've become since that day in the Fuchsia City Gym!" Koga said, forming a fist.

"Don't worry! I've got plenty of power to spare!" Ash said, as he took out a Pokeball in his hand.

The referee stood at the edge of the Battlefield. He stated a similar set of rules as before, saying that Koga would be required to use a minimum of Four Poison-Type Pokemon.

"Standard Dirt field. 6-on-6. Single Battle" Koga said, getting ready.

The referee nodded, and then turned his head towards Ash. "Choose your first Pokemon!" He said to Ash.

Ash took out a Pokeball, and got ready. "Go! Noctowl!" He said, calling out his Noctowl.

*Pop*

"Towww---" Ash's Shiny Red Noctowl said as it came out of it's Pokeball, standing in front of Ash.

Koga took out a Pokeball in his hand. "Crobat! It's time to battle!" He said, throwing the Pokeball and calling out his Crobat.

*Pop*

Crobat came out of it's Pokeball, and hovered in front of Koga.

"The Challenger Ash get's the first move!" The referee said, after completing the Coin Toss.

(In Ash's thoughts) "Crobat is a poison-type Pokemon--- which means this is already over---" Ash said, as he made an internal grin.

"All right! Noctowl! Extrasensory!" Ash said, pointing at Crobat.

"Towww---!" Noctowl exclaimed,as his eyes glowed with a gold color. He then opened his beak, releasing a multicolored circular beam with white crescents around it aimed straight at Crobat. The beam surrounded Crobat, as Noctowl lifted it into the air and slammed it onto the ground with it's Psychic power.

*BOOM*

The referee raised a flag towards Ash. "Crobat is unable to battle! Noctowl wins!" He said.

Ash (Narrating): "We fought through every Pokemon Koga could throw at us. Me, along with Noctowl, Pikachu, Croconaw, and Charizard--- we did our ultimate best to stay one step ahead---"

Announcer: "Koga is down to Five Pokemon!"

"Swalot! Explosion!" Koga said.

*BOOM*

"Both Noctowl and Swalot are unable to battle!" The referee said.

Announcer: "A double Knockout! Ash is down to Five Pokemon, while Koga is down to Four!"

"Pikachu! Thunderbolt! Let's Go!"

"Toxicroak! Go! Use Cross Chop!"

*BOOM*

"Toxicroak is unable to battle! Pikachu wins!" The Referee said.

Announcer: "Koga is down to Three Pokemon!"

"Stuntank! Use Dig!" Koga said.

"Right under you, Pikachu!" Ash said. "Look out!" 

*BOOM*

"Pikachu is unable to battle! Stuntank wins!"

Announcer: "Ash is down to Four Pokemon!"

"Croconaw! I Choose you! Give it your best shot!" Ash said.

"Croco--NAW!" Croconaw exclaimed, stomping his foot on the ground hard.

"Venomoth! Get out of the way!!!" Koga yelled.

*BOOM*

"Croconaw! You just Learned Earthquake! Awesome!" Ash said.

"Venomoth is unable to battle! Croconaw Wins!" The referee said.

Announcer: "Koga is down to Two Pokemon!"

"Muk! Use Sludge Bomb!" Koga said.

"Get out of there, Croconaw!" Ash said.

*BOOM*

"Croconaw is unable to battle! Muk wins!" The referee said.

Announcer: "Ash is down to Three Pokemon!"

"Charizard! Flamethrower!" Ash said.

"Grrr---!!" Charizard exclaimed, as he spewed a stream of red-blue flames aimed straight at Koga's Muk. Charizard was in his bonded Ash-Charizard form.

*BOOM*

Dust kicked off and settled, revealing Muk lying on the ground completely spread-out, with spirals in it's eyes.

"Muk is unable to battle! Charizard wins!" The referee said, raising a flag towards Charizard.

Announcer: "And Koga is down to his last Pokemon! What will he choose?"

*Crowd Cheers*

Koga aimed a Pokeball at Muk, and called it back. He then put the Pokeball in his Pocket and took out another Pokeball, and looked at Ash. "You know, your Father bet on the fact that you would defeat me--- Let's see if he's right!" He said, throwing the Pokeball in the air.

*Pop*

"Veeee---nusaur---!" Venusaur exclaimed as it came out of it's Pokeball, and stood in front of Koga.

Announcer: "And Koga's last Pokemon is a Venusaur!"

*Crowd Cheers*

"A part grass-type? This'll be a walk in the park with Charizard by my side!" Ash said, forming a fist. 

"I thought you might've realized by now that we here at the Indigo Plateau always plan one step ahead---!" Koga said to Ash, as he went for his shirt's cuff and took out a Keystone from it. "Venusaur! We face a powerful challenger! Let's respond with power as well!" He said, as the Keystone glowed bright.

A Megastone fitted on one of Venusaur's hind legs glowed brightly, as it responded to Koga's Keystone and triggered Venusaur's Mega-Evolution.

Announcer: "And Koga's Venusaur has Mega-Evolved!"

*Crowd Cheers*

"All right, Charizard! We've got this!" Ash said, forming a fist.

"Grr--!!!" Charizard replied, forming a fist as well.

"Venusaur! Sludge Bomb!" Koga said, aiming ahead.

"Charizard! Use Earthquake!" Ash said.

*BOOM*

...

*BOOM*

...

"Charizard! BLAST---- BURN!" Ash yelled, as he formed a fist just like Charizard and punched the ground.

[In the Kalos Region, at Professor Sycamore's lab]

Alain smiled a bit, while looking at Ash and Charizard's movements.

[Back to the battle]

"Grrr---!!!" Charizard exclaimed as his body got covered in completely blue flames. He punched the ground hard, causing an underground red energy to travel and reach Venusaur. The energy blasted up with red-blue flames, causing the ground to blow upwards.

*BOOM*

Dust formed, as Charizard's Blast Burn attack hit Venusaur. Everyone looked on, as the dust cleared and revealed Venusaur lying on the ground, with spirals in it's eyes as it reverted from it's Mega-Evolved form.

"Venusaur is unable to battle! Charizard wins, which means the victory goes to Ash! The Challenger!" The referee said, raising a flag towards Ash.

Announcer: "There it is! Ash has defeated the Second Elite Four Member and will be moving forwards!"

*Crowd Cheers*

Charizard reverted from his Ash-Charizard form, and looked back at Ash while forming a fist.

"Good job, Charizard! Return!" Ash said, calling back his Charizard in it's Pokeball. "You were awesome, buddy" He said to Charizard's Pokeball, putting it away.

Koga also called back his Venusaur. "You battled well, Ash. With precise knowledge about the opposing Pokemon's strength's and weaknesses. You have what it takes to be the Elite Champion." He said to Ash.

"Thanks, Koga! I appreciate those words!" Ash said.

Koga nodded and smiled, before turning around and leaving. Ash also turned around and left for the waiting area, in order to heal his Pokemon and make any changes.

[In the hallways for the Elite Four]

Koga walked through the hallways, and into a special room where the next Elite Four Member was picking his Pokemon and getting ready. The two Elites got face-to-face with each other.

"I see you lost--- has that Ash kid gotten really that good? I remember him as a weak trainer with no control over his Charizard and begging to become my student years ago." Bruno asked Koga.

"I can bet you're gonna get your ass handed to him. He is his Father's Son all right." Koga said, walking past Bruno and leaving.

Around 15 minutes later---

Ash walked into the Battlefield the third time, with Pikachu sitting on his shoulder as usual. The next Elite Four Member Bruno walked into the Battlefield in the opposite side.

*Crowd Cheers*

"I see you've made it this far!" Bruno said to Ash.

"I sure have, Bruno! I listened to your advice all those years ago!" Ash replied.

"Huh?" Bruno said, surprised. "What advice?" He asked.

"You said that the true secret to training Pokemon is taking care of them and earning their trust! And the Unbreakable Bond between me and My Pokemon is what's brought me here!" Ash said, forming a fist. "Pika-Pika!" Pikachu said, forming a fist as well.

"Ahahah!" Bruno said, laughing. "You amaze me, Ash! I see some simple words of wisdom have great weight! Now show me how much you deserve to move forwards!" He yelled, getting ready to battle.

The referee stood up to the edge of the battlefield. He stated similar rules again, saying that Bruno will be required to use a minimum of Four Fighting-Type Pokemon. He then asked about any conditions.

"Full 6-on-6. Double-Battle. Rock Field. As hard as these Abs!" Bruno said, flexing his muscles and making his Abs twitch a bit.

The referee nodded, and took out two different Special flags from his back and raised them up in the air.

Announcer: "OH! it's a Full Double Battle on a Rock Field! 

The standard Dirt Field went down, and a Rock Field came up in it's place.

The referee looked at Ash. "Choose your Pokemon!" He said to Ash.

Ash took out two Pokeballs and threw them in the air. "Go! Pidgeot! Staraptor! I Choose you!" He said, calling out the two Bird Pokemon.

*Pop* *Pop*

"Pidgeot! Pigoo---!" Pidgeot exclaimed, as he came out of his Pokeball.

"Staaar-Raptor!" Staraptor exclaimed as he came out of his Pokeball.

"All right, you two! This is it! I want you two to give it your best shot! We can win this!" Ash said to his two Bird Pokemon.

"Pigooo--!" "Raptor!" The two Pokemon nodded while looking back at Ash, and then straight ahead.

Bruno took out two Pokeballs and threw them in the air.

*Pop* *Pop*

"Steelll---Iixx!" Steelix exclaimed as it came out of it's Pokeball.

"Hit-mon-Chan!" Hitmonchan exclaimed as it came out of it's Pokeball, ready to battle as it punched in the air repeatedly.

Announcer: "Ash has chosen a pair of Bird Pokemon, while Bruno has chosen a Steelix and a Hitmonchan! I smell a tasty strategy!"

*Crowd Cheers*

The referee flipped the coin. "The Challenger Ash get's the first Move!" He said.

Ash (Narrating): "Bruno and Karen were both great challenges, equally stubborn and powerful--- but I wasn't gonna give up any time soon---"

"All right! Pidgeot! Use Brave Bird on Hitmonchan!" Ash said.

"And Staraptor! Use Close Combat on Steelix!" Ash said, pointing ahead.  

"Pidgeot---Pigooo---!" Pidgeot Exclaimed.

"Starrr---APTOR!" Staraptor exclaimed.

"Hitmonchan! Ice Punch! Steelix! Use Dig and dodge it!"

*BOOM*

Announcer: "Ohhh---my Arceus! Pidgeot and Hitmonchan took each other out!"

"Staraptor! It's right underneath you! Use Close Combat as soon as it comes out!" Ash said, with glowing blue eyes as he looked at the Steelix's Aura underground.

*BOOM*

Announcer: "Steelix is out!!!"

"Such--- power---" Bruno said in a surprised manner.

"Go! Bulbasaur!" Ash exclaimed.

"Go! Machamp! Hitmonlee!" Bruno yelled

"Staraptor! Brave Bird on Machamp! Bulbasaur! Seed Bomb on Hitmonlee!" Ash exclaimed

"Machamp! Grab that Bird! Hitmonlee! Blaze kick on Bulbasaur!" Bruno exclaimed.

*BOOM*

Announcer: "Who-HOA! I don't even know what's even happening anymore!"

*BOOM*

..

*BOOM*

Announcer: "Machamp is out!"

*BOOM*

Announcer: "Bulbasaur just dodged that Blaze kick at the last moment! Unbelievable!"

*BOOM*

...

"Infernape! Use Acrobatics!" Ash exclaimed.

...

*BOOM*

Announcer: "WHOA!!! Another Double Knock-out! Ash and Bruno are down to their Last Pokemon!"

*Crowd Cheers*

Ash aimed Infernape's Pokeball and called it back. "You were great, buddy. Thanks for the assist" He said to Infernape's Pokeball.

Bruno called back his unconscious Hitmontop in it's Pokeball. He then took out another Pokeball and threw it.

"GO! Lucario!" Bruno said, calling out his Lucario.

"RA!" Lucario exclaimed, as it came out of the Pokeball and stood in front of Bruno. It has a belt around it's waist, with a Megastone attached.

"It's a Lucario!" Ash said, looking on. He then took out his last Pokeball and looked at it. "I'm counting on you, buddy" He said to the Pokeball.

[In the VIP section]

"Oh my--- This is too much stress to deal with!" Serena said, grabbing her head.

"Is that an okay thing? Y'know--- in your 'condition'--?" Gary asked Serena.

"Shut up, Gary" Serena said in a serious manner, releasing her head.

"Which Pokemon is Ashy-Boy gonna choose?" Gary asked.

"He'll choose his--- uh--- Hawlucha---?" Serena said in a doubtful tone.

"WHAT?!" Gary said in a surprised manner. "That's not the PLAN! Hawlucha isn't fit to battle! Ashy-boy has tons of Pokemon that can do the Job! Charizard! Lucario! Torterra! but he chose this unfit Pokemon?!" He yelled. He then looked at the battlefield while holding his head in pain.

"Well-- uh--- Hawlucha wanted to battle--- He even agreed to put aside his unique battling style in order to get a chance." Serena said, sweat-dropping.

[Down in the Battlefield]

"GO! Hawlucha! I Choose you!" Ash said, throwing Hawlucha's Pokeball in the air.

"Lucha-Lucha!" Hawlucha exclaimed as he came out of his Pokeball, flexing his muscles and wearing his entrance Outfit.

"All right, Hawlucha! You wanted a chance, this is your moment to shine!" Ash said, forming a fist.

"Lucha!" Hawlucha said, forming a fist while looking back at Ash. He grabbed his Entrance outfit and threw it away.

Bruno adjusted his belt, revealing a keystone set in it. He then placed two fingers on it, triggering Lucario's Mega Evolution.

"We've got some tricks under our sleeves as well!" Ash said, forming a fist. "Hawlucha! Let's power it up!" He exclaimed, raising his arm up in the air. Hawlucha did the same, as his body suddenly got surrounded by a golden glow.

"LU--CHAAA!!!!" Hawlucha exclaimed, as he opened his arms wide, completely transformed into his Ash-Hawlucha form.

*Crowd Cheers*

Announcer: "Both Pokemon have Transformed! Things are heating up!" 

"Okay, Hawlucha! We agreed to do this my way! The quicker we do this, the better!" Ash said, as he adjusted his black Z-Ring. It had a Fightinium-Z fitted in it.

"Lucha!" Hawlucha replied, nodding his head.

Ash crossed his arms, causing the Z-Crystal to glow bright. Ash and Hawlucha's bodies glowed with a faint orange-red outline, as they began to trigger the Z-move.

Ash and Hawlucha repeatedly punched in the air, as a bright yellow Z-energy came out of Ash's body and transferred into Hawlucha's Body, causing it to glow brightly. A holographic upwards icon of a yellow arrow formed in front of Hawlucha.

"What the---?" Bruno said with popped open eyes, looking on.

"Hawlucha! Let's do this together! This is everything we've got! All-out-Pummeling!" Ash yelled, as he pointed the palm of his hand straight at Lucario. Hawlucha did the same, and then repeatedly rammed an orange, hand-shaped energy aimed at Lucario.

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

...

"Luchaaa----!!!" Hawlucha yelled as he jumped up and charged straight towards Lucario with his body completely covered with a huge orange energy. 

Lucario and Bruno looked on in a shocked manner, as Hawlucha reached Lucario in a flash and rammed his complete body straight into Lucario's chest.

*BOOM*

Dust kicked off and cleared, revealing Lucario lying unconscious on the ground behind Bruno, and Hawlucha standing straight in the middle of the Battlefield.

Lucario reverted from it's Mega-Evolved form.

"Lucario is unable to battle! Hawlucha wins! Which means that the victory goes to Ash! The Challenger!" The referee said, raising a flag towards Ash and Hawlucha.

Hawlucha raised both of his arms high up in the air. "Lucha-Lucha!" He exclaimed loudly, as he celebrated his victory.

Announcer: "There you have it! Bruno is out! Ash moves on the last Member of the Elite Four!"

*Crowd Cheers*

"All right, Hawlucha! Way to go!" Ash said, as he ran towards Hawlucha and hugged him. Suddenly, his sights went to Hawlucha's arm. "It's--- darkening---" He said, looking at the arm.

"Luc-lucha---" Hawlucha said, as suddenly he started shaking a bit. His arm was hurting him badly.

"Let's get you to a doctor, Hawlucha--- Thanks for being a part of my team" Ash said to Hawlucha, calling him back in his Pokeball. He then stood up and looked at Bruno.

"Well done, Ash--- you surprised me---" Bruno said to Ash. "The bond between you and your Pokemon is clearly visible--- I hope you go ahead and defeat the last Elite Four, so you can take on Lance." He said.

"Thanks, Bruno." Ash said.

Many--- Many--- Moments later---

"Lucario! Aura Sphere!" Ash exclaimed, ordering his Mega-Lucario. His opponent was a Mega-Absol that belonged to the last Elite Four Member Karen.

"Rrrah!" Lucario exclaimed, putting his hands together and forming a blue ball of Aura between them. He then launched the ball straight at Karen's Mega Absol.

*BOOM*

Dust formed and cleared, revealing Absol lying on the ground, with spirals in it's eyes as it reverted from it's Mega-Evolved form.

"Absol is unable to battle! Lucario is the winner! Which means that the victory goes to Ash! The Challenger!" The referee said, aiming a flag towards Ash and Lucario.

Announcer: "There you have it, Ladies and Gentlemen! The League Champion has defeated all Four of the Elite Four!"

*Crowd cheers wildly*

Announcer: "We'll be right back, as the final battle begins with Ash going against the Dragon Master Lance!"

Ash looked up at the huge screen above the battlefield, showing that he was the winner and then showed a 'VS' picture of him and Lance.

(In Ash's thoughts) "I'm comin' for you, Lance---" Ash said, before calling back his Lucario. He then nodded at the Dark-Type Elite Four Member Karen, before turning back and leaving for the waiting area.

A few moments later---

Ash was sitting on a bench inside the waiting area. He looked at the Five Pokeballs he had chosen for the match.

"It's time" Serena said to Ash, standing in front of him alongside Gary. 

Ash got up on his feet, and looked into Serena's eyes. 

"if" 

"if"

The two said "if" at the same time.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah?"

Ash and Serena said at the same time again.

"Okay, You first"

"Okay, You first"

They said at the same time again.

Ash quickly grabbed Serena's arm, and pulled her closer. "If I win this--- you get a gift" He said to Serena.

"Wh-What---?" Serena said in a surprised manner. "A gift---?" She asked as she started blushing.

Gary looked at the time. "Ugh! Get on already! It's probably his dick in a box. Move on! That trick doesn't work! I tried it!" He said.

Ash looked at Serena in a serious manner. "It's something else" He said.

"Wh-What---?" Serena said, surprised. "What is it then?" She asked.

"You'll get it later---" Ash replied. "What did you wanna say to me?" He asked.

"Um--- I--- uh--- I have something to give too--- I'll give it to you after your match---" Serena said, blushing.

"All right, then--- Looks like I have to end this battle as quick as possible" Ash said, picking up his Five Pokeballs that were fitted on a belt. He then raised his arm towards Pikachu, who quickly jumped on it and then ran up to his spot on Ash's shoulder.

Ash was about to walk towards the Battlefield, when Serena quickly grabbed his arm. "Huh?" Ash said, turning around and looking at Serena's smiling and blushing face.

"You don't wanna forget your good luck charm, do you?" Serena asked Ash.

Ash looked at Serena, and smiled. "Almost forgot" He said, as he leaned towards Serena as the two shared a kiss.

Gary looked on at the two lovebirds. "So this is what Brock and Clemont felt like the whole time through your journeys? A damn third wheel?" He asked.

Ash and Serena separated. "Maybe---" Ash said, while looking at Serena. He then turned towards the entrance to the battlefield. "I'll see you guys after I become the champion" He said, looking at Greninja's Pokeball in his hand.

"Love you, Ash! Do your best! Go for broke!" Serena said, as Ash walked through the short hallway and straight out into the open Battlefield.

*Crowd Cheers*

Ash walked up to his edge of the Battlefield, as the crowd chanted his name repeatedly.

Crowd Chanting: "Ash-Ke-tchum! ----- Ash-ke-tchum! ----- Ash-ke-tchum!"

Ash looked around at the whole Arena, filled with people who were chanting his name.

Lance walked up to the opposite edge of the Battlefield, looking around in a surprised manner.

[at the VIP section]

Serena and Gary came and sat at their positions.

"Are they chanting Ashy-Boy's name?" Gary said in a surprised manner.

"Y-Yeah! I can't believe it!" Serena said with a wide smile on her face, looking around. 

"These are the same people the were booing him earlier. That's some skill Ashy-Boy has to convert them" Gary said.

"Yeah! Ash can win this! I believe in Ash!" Serena said, forming two fists.

"By the way--- that gift you were saying? What? You finally gonna tell em' that you're pre-go--?" Gary asked.

"Um-- uh-- that's none of your concern!" Serena yelled at Gary. "Can't even figure out how you know about this in the first place--- I told Brock and Misty to keep it a secret." She said in a low voice.

"It's simple--- You told Brock and Misty about it, and told them to keep it a secret--- Misty then told Tracey, and told him to keep it a secret. Tracey then told me, and made me promise that I'd keep it a secret. Now all I have to figure out is who I'm gonna tell it to" Gary said.

"Just-- ugh--! I knew Misty couldn't keep it a secret!" Serena said.

"Well, I can keep a secret--- at least for a few more days since this is seriously juicy stuff" Gary said, rubbing his hands together like a villain. "No Pun intended" He added.

"Ugh--- Brock is so much better than all of you jerks--- Instead of gossiping, all he did ever since finding out is call and check up on my health to make sure I was okay--- He runs his car around while you run your mouth" Serena said to Gary.

"Hey, at least I don't run my thumbs and post it on Twitter" Gary said.

"If you feel the urge, post it on Myspace. I dare you." Serena said.

"Really? How do you even remember about that old thing?" Gary asked.

"My Mom mentioned it once---" Serena said.

"Creating an account now---" Gary said, pulling out his PokeGear.

[Back at the Battlefield]

"I see you have a fanbase, Ash" Lance said.

"Just a side-effect of being strong" Ash replied.

"Very well! Let me see how strong you really are!" Lance said to Ash.

"Don't worry--- I will---" Ash replied, taking out a Pokeball.

The referee stood up to the edge of the battlefield and stated the rules of the battle. 

"Although the Champion Lance is a Dragon-Type Specialist, he is only required to use One Dragon-Type Pokemon in this battle." The referee said.

"What?" Ash said, surprised.

"Ash! Let me tell you this: Five of my Pokemon are Dragon-Types. I'm not afraid of any other Dragon, Ice, or Fairy types you have in your arsenal!" Lance said in a serious manner.

"A Battle that only the stronger trainer can win!" Ash said in a determined manner.

"What are your Battle conditions?" The referee asked Lance.

"6-on-6 Single Battle. Rock and water Field." Lance said to the Referee.

The referee nodded and raised a flag, ordering a change of field. The Standard Dirt Field went down, and a Rocky Battlefield with a stream of water in the middle came back up.

Announcer: "And the Champion has chosen a Rock and Water Field!" 

"Choose your Pokemon!" The referee said to Ash.

Ash looked at the Pokeball in his hand, smiling. He then tightened his grip on the Pokeball. (In Ash's thoughts) "Thanks for coming at the last second" He said to the Pokeball.

"Go! Goodra! I choose you!" Ash said, throwing a Pokeball in the air.

*Pop*

"Goodra-Goo!" Goodra exclaimed, coming out of it's Pokeball and standing in front of Ash.

"All right, Goodra! Let's do this! You with me?" Ash said, forming a fist.

"Gooo--dra!" Goodra said, turning around and looking at Ash while forming a fist.

"A Dragon-Type Pokemon. Very good, Ash. It shows you're not afraid to battle me using your strength and strategies. Any other challenger would've just packed a team of Fairy-types." Lance said.

"I'm all about using my strength! Just like Serena said! Go for broke!" Ash said, forming a fist.

"I like your style, Ash! That's why I'll use my complete power too! Go! Haxorus!" Lance said, calling out his first Pokemon.

*Pop*

"Haaxxx-oouuuRUSS!" Haxorus exclaimed, as it came out of it's Pokeball.

"A pure Dragon-Type Pokemon" Ash said, looking on.

The referee did the coin toss, and then looked at Ash. "The challenger gets the first move! Begin when the countdown timer reaches zero!" He said.

Ash adjusted his hat, and then looked up at the huge Screen above the battlefield. A countdown from 15 seconds started on-screen.

The whole crowd got up on their feet, and started chanting the timer.

Crowd: "10--- 9--- 8--- 7--- 6--- 5--- 4--- 3--- 2--- 1--- Battle begin!" 

*Crowd Cheers*

Ash looked straight into Lance's eyes, as he adjusted his hat.

https://youtu.be/Dbqo972MHUU

*XYZ Theme starts*

I stand tall 'cause I know I'm a winner

"Goodra! Dragon Pulse let's go!" Ash said.

You've met your match, yeah, I'm no beginner

"Haxorus! use Dragon Pulse as well!" Lance said.

No beginner...

The two Dragon-Shaped attacks hit each other mid-air, cancelling each other out completely.

Gotta catch 'em all!

*BOOM*

*Crowd Cheers*

"Haxorus! Dragon Claw!" Lance said.  

"Now! Goodra! Use Bide!" Ash yelled.

"Dragon Claw again!" Lance said.

"Let em' have it, Goodra! Twice the power!" Ash yelled.

*BOOM*

Announcer: "Whoa-aa! Haxorus is out! Lance is down to Five Pokemon!"

"Go! Druddigon! Use Dragon Tail!" Lance said.

"Counter it with Dragon Pulse!" Ash said.

*BOOM*

"Outrage!" Lance said.

"Go! Hydreigon! Fire Blast!" Lance yelled.

Serena (Yelling): "Ash! Give it your all! Go for Broke!"

With the wisdom of years to guide me,

*BOOM*

Announcer: "Sceptile is out! Ash is down to Four Pokemon!"

"GO! Decidueye! Use Low Sweep!" Ash yelled.  

*BOOM*

Announcer: "Hydreigon is out! Lance is down to Three Pokemon!"

"Aggh-- GO! Salamence use Flamethrower!" Lance yelled.

*BOOM*

Announcer: "Decidueye is out! Ash is down to three Pokemon!"

"Salamence! Come Back!" Lance said.

"Charizard!" Ash yelled, ordering his Charizard.

"Mega-Charizard!" Lance Yelled, ordering his Mega-Charizard Y.

Ash & Lance (At the same time): "BLAST--- BURN!!!"

*BOOM*

Announcer: "Both Charizards are out! Ash and Lance are down to Two Pokemon each!"

"Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!" Ash yelled.

"Salamence! Earthquake!" Lance yelled.

Both Pokemon's attacks hit at the same time.

*BOOM* 

*XYZ Theme End*

Dust formed and cleared, revealing both Pikachu and Salamence lying on the ground, completely unconscious with spirals in their eyes.

"Both Pikachu and Salamence are unable to battle!" The referee said, raising two flags 

Announcer: "WHOA! A double Knockout! Ash and Lance are both down to their last Pokemon!"

*Crowd Cheers*

Lance aimed a Pokeball at his unconscious Salamence and called him back.

"Pikachu!" Ash yelled, as he ran ahead and picked his little buddy in his arms.

"pi--ka---pi---" Pikachu said in a weak manner, looking at Ash.

Ash smiled. "You did great, buddy!" He said, as he walked back to his spot on the edge of the battlefield. 

Ash placed Pikachu down on the ground next to him. He then took out his last Pokeball, and so did Lance.

"This is the last stretch!" Lance said, as he wiped the sweat off of his forehead.

"Yeah!" Ash said, as he wiped the sweat off of his forehead as well.

"All right!" Lance said, turning his arm back as he got ready to throw his Pokeball. "It's been a long time since I threw the last Pokeball! This is my last hope! My most powerful Pokemon! Go! Dragonite!" He yelled, throwing the Pokeball up in the air.

*Pop*

"Drra--!" Dragonite exclaimed as it came out of it's Pokeball, and stood in front of Lance.

"This is it--- Go! Greninja! I Choose you!" Ash said, throwing his Pokeball in the air.

*Pop*

"Nin-Ja!" Greninja exclaimed, coming out of his Pokeball and standing in front of Ash, ready to battle.

"Greninja! Let's do this! Power it up!" Ash yelled, raising his arm in the air and forming a fist just like Greninja, triggering Greninja's bonded form.

"Ninnn---JA!" Greninja yelled, as a vortex of water burst from under him and covered his whole transforming body. The vortex split and and went straight into his back, forming a giant Water Shuriken.

Lance looked on and smiled. "This is the Ash-Greninja that defeated Will all by itself---" He said, looking at Greninja in his bonded form. 

"Yep! And we're gonna defeat you as well! Together!" Ash said, as him and Greninja formed fists together.

"Very well--- show me how you will defeat me!" Lance exclaimed, getting ready.

"Like this!" Ash said, as him and Greninja smashed their fists together, with glowing blue eyes. The set of glowing blue Samurai Armor formed over Greninja's body, increasing his defense and adding the Bulletproof ability.

"What the actual--- ?" Lance said in a surprised manner. "I didn't know about this---!" He said.

"Nope. This is new!" Ash exclaimed, as the armor glowed over Greninja's body.

Announcer: "What just happened?! It looks like Greninja just created some sort of water Armor over his body! This is the first time I'm seeing this!" 

*Crowd Cheers*

"Greninja! Aerial Ace! Let's go!" Ash said.

*Ash-Greninja Theme plays*

"Nin-JA!" Greninja exclaimed, sprinting straight towards Dragonite at full speed with blue glowing hands and feet.

"Dragonite Dragon Rush!" Lance said, ordering his Dragonite.

"Drr-aa!" Dragonite exclaimed as its horn glowed blue and released a blue, dragon-shaped energy that covered its body. It then charged straight at Greninja with full force.

*BOOM*

The two Pokemon hit each other with full force, forming a dust cloud. Greninja jumped out of the dust cloud, doing double back flips and then stood in front of Ash. He had barely any marks of injury on his body.

"We didn't even feel that!" Ash said, looking on as the dust cleared, revealing Dragonite standing still with some marks of injury on it's body.

"You'll feel this! We've prepared to battle your Greninja! Dragonite! Use Focus Blast!" Lance exclaimed, pointing ahead.

"Drrrr---aA!" Dragonite exclaimed as it put it's hands together and formed a sparkling yellow orb between them. It then launched the orb straight towards Greninja.

Ash and Greninja stood still, as the Focus Blast came and hit it's mark with full force.

*BOOM*

Dust kicked off, as the Focus Blast made contact.

"Ha! Super-Effective hit! This battle is over!" Lance exclaimed, forming a fist. "I actually thought you were gonna beat me!" He added. 

The dust started clearing.

"You've still got a long way to go, kid. You're not gonna--- WHAT?" Lance was saying when he suddenly spotted Greninja standing still, with zero damage to him. 

Announcer: "I can't believe it! It's standing still after taking that Focus Blast!" 

*Crowd Cheers*

"And now it's our turn! Greninja! Use Double Team!" Ash exclaimed.

"Nin---JA!" "JA!" "JA!" "JA!" Greninja exclaimed, as he formed multiple copies of himself around the battlefield.

"Now, Greninja! Power it up! Water Shuriken! Stronger!" Ash yelled, as Greninja grabbed the Water Shuriken on his back and raised it up the air. The Water Shuriken absorbed all of Greninja's fake copies and the Samurai Armor on his body, causing it to increase to an enormous size. 

Ash raised his arm up in the Air Just like Greninja. (In Ash's thoughts) "As cold as the icy mountain I traveled through to get to the Samurai Aura Guardians!" He said to himself as his eyes glowed with a light Icy Blue color.

Suddenly, the Giant Water Shuriken glowed with an Icy Blue color, changing from a Water-Type Shuriken to an Ice-Type Shuriken.

"Let em' have it, Greninja! Ice Shuriken!" Ash yelled, as Greninja threw the Giant Ice Shuriken at Dragonite.

"Dragonite! Thunderbolt!" Lance yelled at the last second, as Dragonite quickly charged up the two antennae on it's head, releasing a yellow beam of electricity aimed straight towards Greninja.

*BOOM*

Dust formed all over the Battlefield, as Greninja's powered-up Ice-Type attack and Dragonite's Electric-Type attack made contact.

"-- agh---" Ash said in a bit of pain, holding his stomach.

*Complete silence*

Serena and Gary were on their feet, looking on with a surprised manner.

Everyone in the whole Venue were completely silent. The wind flowing through the air, piercing the upper edges of the Venue were audible.

Every one of Ash's friends and family that was watching the battle looked on in silence, as they waited for the dust to clear and the result of the battle to get visible on-screen.

*heart beat*

...

*heart beat*

...

*Heart Beat*

...

The dust cleared, revealing Greninja and Dragonite standing still on their feet. They both had marks of numerous injuries on their bodies.

Suddenly---

Dragonite dropped to the ground, as it's eyes turned into spirals.

The referee quickly raised a flag towards Ash and Greninja. "Dragonite is unable to battle! Greninja is the winner! Which means the Victory goes to Ash, The Challenger! and the new Champion of the Indigo Elite Four!" He said.

Announcer: "He's done it! Ash has defeated all of the Champion's Pokemon, and has earned the title for himself! Ladies and Gentlemen! Ashton L. Ketchum! The Champion of the Indigo Plateau!"

Suddenly, the crowd started chanting Ash's name loudly.

Crowd Chanting: "Ash-ke-tchum! --- Ash-ke-tchum! --- Ash-ke-tchum!"

 Ash looked around, as he looked at his name up in the huge screen, declaring him as the winner and the new Elite champion. He then looked at Greninja, who was walking up to him as he reverted from his Ash-Greninja form.

"Nin-JA!" Greninja said to Ash, forming a fist.

"We did it!" Ash said, as Greninja walked up to him. The two Trainer and Pokemon hugged each other. "After all--- this time--- finally----" He said, with his eyes closed as a tear formed in them.

"J-Ja---" Greninja said, as his feet shook with powerlessness.

Ash released Greninja from his hug. "Greninja--- Let's celebrate properly later--- Take some rest for now---- you totally deserve it" Ash said to Greninja, calling him back in his Pokeball. He then put the Pokeball back on the belt on his waist.

"pii--kaa--chu--!" Pikachu said in a weak manner, sitting on the ground and looking around as the crowd chanted Ash's name.

"Yeah, buddy--- we did it!" Ash said to Pikachu, forming a fist.

"Pikaa---" Pikachu said, closing his eyes while smiling widely.

Suddenly, out of nowhere---

"ASH!" Serena exclaimed as she came running and jumped right in Ash's arms.

"You did it! You won!" Serena said with a wide smile on her face.

"Yeah--- I won, right---?" Ash said to Serena as she placed her feet on the ground and released Ash.

"Time for your gift---" Serena said, looking into Ash's eyes. She leaned forwards and locked lips with him.

Announcer: "Wait! Is that the Kanto Queen? And WHOA! What a steamy gift to the new Elite Champion!" 

The whole crowd cheered, as they saw Ash and Serena kiss each other in front of them.

Serena released Ash, and looked into his eyes while smiling and blushing.

Serena was going to speak, when Suddenly Ash cut her off.

"Serena--- how do you like my gift---? My Elite Challenge win?" Ash asked.

"Y-Yes--- It's a great gift, Ash--- but what is it for--?" Serena asked.

"It's--- your wedding gift---" Ash said.

"Wait--- what---?" Serena said in a surprised manner. Ash quickly took a step back, and knelt down on one knee in front of Serena. He went for his pocket and took out a small plastic box. He opened the box, revealing a ring inside it that had a pink Aura Crystal on it.

"Oh my goodness--- no--- this isn't happening---" Serena said with wide open eyes, as she froze into her position.

Announcer: "WAIT! Oh, SNAP! Is THAT what I think it is?! Can the Cameraman zoom in on the Champion please?!" 

*Whole Crowd goes silent*

The live feed of Ash and Serena up close got on the huge screen on top of the battlefield. The whole world was looking and listening at the moment clearly.

[In Pallet Town]

"Oh my gosh--- he's finally doing it---" Delia said, as she covered her mouth.

Tracey and Professor Oak had popped open eyes, and dropped jaws.

[at the Cerulean City Gym]

"WHAT?!" Misty said with a dropped jaw, before dropping down to the ground in shock.

[In Vaniville Town]

Grace Quickly stood up on her feet, with the laptop in her hands. "It's finally happening---! My Girl is all grown up---!" She said, as a tear formed in her eye.

[In the Sinnoh Region]

"WHAT?!" Dawn and Brock said, with popped open eyes.

"WHY am I the ONLY one that's Single in the whole universe---? WHY?!" Brock said, as numerous tears rolled down his eyes.

[Over at Paul]

"What does he think he's doing?" Paul said, looking at the TV screen in the Pokemon Center.

The rest of Ash's friends had dropped Jaws, as they looked on in their devices.

[Back to the Battlefield]

"I-It's--- just that--- I--- " Ash said to Serena, looking up at her. "I really love being with you, Serena--- and--- if we get married--- we can be together just like how we've been this whole week---" He added.

Serena looked on, as tears formed in her eyes.

"I-I wanna say it to the world that I love you--- s-so I don't think there's a better time when the whole world's watching us---" Ash said.

"You once said that when two people wanna be together, they get married--- So--- t-t-tell me--- Serena Zay Yvonne--- w-will you Marry me?" Ash said, taking the ring out of the box and raising it in front of Serena.

"Oh my---   -.-- . ..." Serena said, as she tried to say Yes, but the word just didn't come out of her mouth.

"Uh--- is it a---?" Ash asked, looking at Serena.

Serena started crying, placing her one hand over her open wide mouth. She then repeatedly started nodding her head.

"Yes?" Ash asked.

"Oh my gosh, Ash--- YES!" Serena yelled as loud as she could, causing her voice to echo in the whole Venue.

Echo: "Yes! --- yes! --- yes---" 

Announcer: "Folks! She said YES!" 

*Crowd goes wild*

[In Pallet Town]

"She said YES!" Delia said, as she jumped up with joy. "Oh my boy---!" She added, getting teary eyed.

Tracey and Professor Oak looked on with dropped jaws not reacting a single bit.

[In Vaniville Town]

"She said YES!" Grace said, as she jumped with joy. "Oh my goodness, what am I doing?! I need to pack a bag!" She added, placing the laptop in front of her Rhyhorn. "Fletchling! help me with the packing!" She said, running inside the house with Fletchling following her.

[In the Sinnoh Region]

Brock kept on shedding tears. "I am extremely happy and extremely jealous at the same time!" He said, biting through his shirt. "I can't even decide if these are tears of sorrow or tears of joy---!" He added.

"Uh--- you'll find someone, Brock---" Dawn said, patting Brock's shoulders while sweat-dropping.

"Oh look! It's Nurse Joy! These are tears of Joy!" Brock said, as he quickly jetted off.

"Aand he's back" Dawn said, with squinted eyes as she looked at Brock kneel in front of Nurse Joy.

[In Kalos, Professor Sycamore's Lab]

"MMmmmARVELOUS!" Professor Sycamore exclaimed, as he quickly hugged Sophie as tightly as he could.

"Hm--- good for Ash" Alain said, getting up on his feet. "I hope Mairin doesn't get any ideas. I have my own Elite Challenge ahead of me." He added, before walking away.

All other of Ash's friends rejoiced, as they looked on.

[Back to the Battlefield]

*Whistles*

Ash quickly stood up, as Serena inserted her left hand's ring finger through the Ring Ash was holding.

Ash wrapped his arms around Serena's waist, while Serena wrapped her arms around Ash's neck, and the two shared a long and passionate kiss.

The whole crowd got up on their feet, and started clapping their hands.

*Clapping*

Ash and Serena smiled, while looking into each other's eyes while having their foreheads touching. 

"Where did you get this ring---?" Serena asked Ash. "And it even has a Pink Aura Crystal in it--- So it must be made by a female wielder of Aura---" She added.

"I-I got it from my travels in the past--- the Sensei from the Ninja Village got one for me--- and the frame was from Sir Aaron" Ash replied. "You like it?" He asked.

"I love it" Serena replied. She then got her sights on Pikachu.

"Oh--- Pikachu---!" Serena said, as she picked a wiped out Pikachu from the ground. She carried him like a small baby, and then closed her eyes as she focused her powers. Her hands glowed pink, causing Pikachu's body to glow pink as well. 

All of the marks of Injury on Pikachu's body quickly disappeared, replenishing his body completely.

"Pika-Pi!" Pikachu exclaimed in an energetic manner, as he quickly jumped from Serena's arms and landed on top of Ash's shoulder. He quickly rubbed his face against Ash's, while smiling widely.

"Oho-- hey, Buddy--- So--- what do you think about Me and Serena, huh?" Ash asked Pikachu.

"Pika---Pikachu!" Pikachu said, looking at Serena and forming a thumbs up sign.

Serena giggled a little, placing her hand on her mouth. 

"Of course you like her--- she makes sure your Ketchup Supply is filled!" Ash said to Pikachu in a silly manner, rubbing the back of his head.

"Pika--" Pikachu replied in a silly manner, rubbing the back of his head as well.

Ash, Serena and Pikachu smiled, with Ash having his arms wrapped around Serena. The Ex-Champion Lance walked up to Ash after crossing the whole Battlefield, and calling his Dragonite back in it's Pokeball.

"Ash---" Lance said, as he stood near Ash.

"Oh-- hey, Lance! Great Battle!" Ash said, looking at Lance while forming a fist.

"It's over. I am no Longer a Champion. But I feel strange--- The pride of having fought a good match is greater than the anger of losing. You have become even more powerful than I ever was." Lance said.

"Th-Thanks, Lance!" Ash said.

"I must say--- the way you battle with your Pokemon--- The strong bond you share with them--- I hate to admit it, but you are a Pokemon Master!" Lance said.

Ash's eyes opened wide in surprise. Serena grabbed Ash's hand firmly, and leaned towards him.

"Ash--- No--- Elite Champion--- come with me--- we must insert your name into the Hall of fame." Lance said to Ash, walking straight inside the hallways behind him.

Ash and Serena followed, holding hands.

Lance, Ash, and Serena walked up to the same waiting room Ash was in earlier. 

Gary was lying down on a bench, with his PokeGear in his hand as he scrolled through his social feed.

"Well well" Gary said, getting up on his feet. "Ashy-Boy has finally made his move, huh? I'm proud of ya. You're a good student" He said.

"Student?" Serena said, raising her eyebrow.

"Oh-- It's just-- Gary has been teaching me a lot about relationships and stuff---" Ash said, rubbing the back of his head.

"So that's how you've been making all of those moves on me--- and I thought you were losing your denseness---" Serena said, sweat-dropping.

Lance walked up to a closed door that was nearby. He took out a card and placed it on it's lock, causing it to beep and unlock instantly. 

"Come, Champion---" Lance said to Ash.

Ash walked ahead, along with Serena and Gary.

"I'm sorry-- only Ash is allowed to enter. You two must wait here" Lance said.

"Go, Ash---" Serena said, as she released Ash's hand. "I'll be right here" She said.

"Go on, Ashy-boy." Gary said.

Ash nodded, and then proceeded through the door with Lance.

Ash and Lance walked through a long passage, and then down a set of stairs. They then came across a huge well-lit hall that had golden decorated walls. The walls were filled with small pictures of past champions and their Pokemon.

"It's been a long time since I last came here." Lance said, looking around at the hall.

"Whoa---" "Pi--ka---" "What even is this place---?" Ash and Pikachu said, looking around at the hundreds of framed pictures on the walls.

Ash turned around and looked at Lance standing behind him.

"This is where we commemorate the Elite Champion and his/her Pokemon for all eternity. Here today, we witnessed the rise of a new Champion--- a Trainer who feels compassion for, and trust toward, all Pokemon. A trainer who succeeded through perseverance and determination. The new Indigo Elite Four Champion who has all the makings of greatness! Ash! allow me to register you and your partners as Champions!" Lance said, as him and Ash walked up to a large table with a small machine at the center of the hall.

Lance pressed a button on the small machine.

"Place the palm of your hand in the scanner, Ash." Lance said, as a small palm scanner popped out of the machine in front of Ash and Lance.

Ash placed the palm of his hand, causing the machine to beep. Lance then inputted all of the names of the Pokemon Ash had used in the whole competition.

"This is going to be probably the biggest picture--- with so many Pokemon since you're the first challenger who's come here after the rule change." Lance said.

The machine beeped, as a picture of all of Ash's participating Pokemon appeared on the huge empty frame. Then, Ash's picture appeared as well, standing right in between his army of Pokemon.

"Congratulations, Ash--- Pikachu---" Lance said, looking at Ash and Pikachu. "You are now Hall of Famers---" He added.

"Wow--- thanks a lot, Lance--- This is so great---" Ash said, looking at the picture of him and his Pokemon.

"You have battled bravely to come to this point--- be proud of yourself, Ash" Lance said.

"Yes--- Right---" Ash said, as he looked around at the numerous framed pictures of the previous Champions and their Pokemon. "I won't bring shame to the title of Elite Champion---" He said, looking at the pictures.

Ash then looked back at his huge picture in the center of the Hall. He then looked down at the palm of his hand. "Pokemon Master---" He said, forming a fist.

Suddenly---

"Hm-? What's that sound coming from the battlefield?" Lance said.

"Yeah--- I hear it too---" Ash said.

"Let's see what's happening---" Lance said, as he walked towards the exit of the Hall. Ash followed.

*Freeze Frame*
