We are inside the mansion, it has everything. Inside it looks fantastic, aged, painted and vintage furniture and accessories, lots of wood and natural materials. Various hand-painted paintings of famous people, legendary Pokémon, and beautiful landscapes.
Cynthia is explaining to them the importance of mega stones, while I am sitting at the bar 'be champion if you leave a lot, maybe I should aim for the same when I become human'
Across from me is Cynthia's butler. Jervis is a butler, who is around 50 years old and has gray hair and brown eyes, he wears the usual clothes of any butler.
"Would you like some juice?"
I shake my head and point to a bottle of alcohol.
"Would you prefer a whiskey?" I move my head up and down over and over again.
"You're not supposed to serve guests, but ..."
"Don't worry, I'm of legal age"
"..." He doesn't seem to understand me.
When he was about to give up from the bar he takes out a bottle. He takes a glass, puts a couple of ice on it and pours me a drink.
"Slurp" I finished it in one gulp. I bring him the glass again.
"..."
"..."
"I did not know that mythical Pokémon prefer alcohol"
He refills my glass again, I lift it and move my head up and down once toward the butler.
"Cheers"
The butler seems to understand my intention and likewise shakes his head and serves me another round.
As I am having fun at the bar, I notice that Meloetta is watching me from afar. She is sitting on Ash's lap, our eyes meet. She takes Ash's hand and puts it on her head as he caresses her and she just turns to look away.
"Humph!"
"Ladies problems?" the butler seems to notice our interaction.
"My friend, if I told you" I sip my drink while the butler does his best to understand me.
'It seems that Cynthia has already finished explaining to him'
"Because Victini gives such an impressive gift to a boy" says the wild girl.
"He must have felt something special from Ash" the green waiter affirms as if he is trying to uncover a mystery
"He's always so lucky" says the girl in the pink cap dejectedly
"It is not just any stone, it is a Charizardite"
"A Charizardite?"
"That's right, it only works with a Charizard"
"However, Ash doesn't have a Charizard" the wild girl says it laughing.
"Yes he has one" Daw seems to know Ash better, most likely she is his partner.
"Seriously?"
"Yes, but he's in Professor Oak's lab."
"How did Victini know you had that Pokémon?"
"Maybe I guess"
In these moments I am happy to be a Pokémon for not giving explanations.
"It will be a great trump card for the league"
"Mmm" Ash seems hesitant to use it. Well I tried, if he decides to occupy it or isnot his problem.
While they are arguing, Cynthia walks over to the bar.
"You are not too adorable to be drinking alone."
" Madam, I just ..."
"It's okay Jervis, it doesn't bother me"
She takes the seat next to me and takes a drink anyway.
"I heard the rumors that a Victini beat a small group of the plasma team"
Shit, she knows ... Luckily I have a secret weapon that I prepare in advance.

Flashback
*
*
This happened when Meloetta was losing, she did not return to base, so I had no choice but to keep looking for her. I checked in all of her favorite places, but no luck.
"Zorua! Didn't you see Meloetta? "
"Zoru"
"I've already searched the entire building and I can't find it"
"Zoru" he shakes her head.
"Yes, she did not return yesterday and I am worrying"
"Zoru"
"I guess you're right" I'm afraid that she was captured.
"Zoru"
"Congratulations on winning the contest!"
"Zoru" apparently they put a lot of effort into the movie, I haven't seen it yet 'it was shot in one day' I honestly don't have confidence in seeing it.
"Hey, can you do me a little favor"
"Zoru?"

End Flashback

"I would never do something like that" I put my hand on my chest, I act as offended as possible
"It seems that he is saying that he did not, madam"
"The description they gave was of a Victini"
'Yes, it seems that he does not trust me' from my backpack I take a photograph, in it I am with a shy and innocent pose with another Pokémon. If you guessed it, I'm with Zorua who transformed into my form. He is in a bad boy pose, he has sunglasses and a leather jacket.
"..."
"His brother," Jervis comments.
They both turn to see me and I do the same innocent pose in the photo.
"..."
"I guess there are two." Cynthia finishes her gulp, gets up from the bar, gives me a sideways glance as she walks away.
Yes, I'm not that stupid, of course I didn't fool her, but at least I made her hesitate for a second. As long as I deny everything and act like an idiot, I'll have a chance.

Again we are outside the mansion, in the training field, they are going to start doing practice battles, the first to fight is the green waiter against Daw.
The young green man chooses a green ape, while the girl uses her penguin. Jervis is the referee for this fight.
"Pansage, use Bullet Seed." He uses a series of projectiles that come out of the creatures mouth and go directly at his opponent.
"Piplup, dazzle with your Drill Peck" his beak begins to glow and grows five times the size of him, he turns to collide with the projectiles and somehow manages to return them to their owner.
"Bom"
Well, that is a good strategy, even though the two Pokémon are at the same level, what differentiates them is the coach's strategy.
"Way to go, Daw, Piplup" the stands are thrilled by the wonderful counterattack.
"Now try this, Pansage, Rock Tomb" the ape raises his hands and a rock materializes with a green aura and throws it at the penguin. The rock flies at full speed and before hitting directly it breaks into several pieces creating more chances of hitting the target.
"That's not a problem, Piplup, turn and use bubble beam" the pokemon spits out several bubbles and begins to rotate on its own axis. As if they were small bombs, the bubbles explode against the rocks, but not before giving a small show of light and colors.
"Wow!"
"fantastic!"
"So that's the power of a coordinator"
"What is a coordinator?" Meloetta asks me.
"Well let's see ... it would be kind of a trainer, but instead of just relying on strength, like Ash's case. They are also based on the beauty and dexterity of both attacks and Pokémon. They participate in contests that qualify the union between the coordinator and the Pokémon "
"marvelous!"
It seems that we reached the climax of the fight.
"Pansage, use sunbeam"
"Piplup, ice beam"
The two energies collide, but instead of creating a strong explosion, small fireworks are created.
"how nice!"
"handsome!" the audience seems satisfied with the show. Meloetta runs right in the middle of the fight and starts dancing around the penguin.
"It seems that Meloetta was drawn to Piplup's beautiful pageant moves."
"Sure, I understand, I can't believe it!"
"Ha, ha, ha" everyone is happy for the conclusion of the battle
"Osha" the snowman comes out of his pokeball and looks angrily at the dance of Piplup and Meloetta"It seems that things are starting to heat up"
"If that means it's my turn" Ash yells excitedly.
It's my chance, I quickly fly in front of him and strike a battle pose like he's a Saiyan prince.
"But what?"
"It seems that Victini also wants to fight" I shake my head up and down over and over again.
"Well this will be exciting" she says while his pikachu is on his shoulder with an equally excited look
We quickly get onto the battlefield 'I've never been excited to fight, but I'm in front of the child of the world. I hope he chooses Pikachu, I would love a good fight against both of them. '
"That the fight between the trainer Ash and the Pokémon Victini begins"
Ash puts his cap back on and his Pikachu begins to release electricity from his cheeks. His auras begin to rise and gradually synchronize
'Our battle will be legendary'
"Osha"
"Wow"
"What the fuck?" the snowman jumps to the battlefield. He looks at me with great anger, as his would have killed his mother of snow.
"It seems that Oshawott feels a great rivalry with Victini" comments the wild girl
"Do you want to fight Oshawott?"
"Osha, osha"
"Well then, Oshawott I choose you"
"Osha" puffs out his chest proud that he was chosen to fight.
"Let the combat begin" the butler raises a red flag.
'Damn snowman son of ... ditto!' My long-awaited battle will have to wait. This is already going overboard, our level is very different. I will teach him that you do not play with me.
"Oshawott, Water Gun" from his mouth releases a torrent of water.
I use a small Fire Blast to counter it. The two powers collide creating a cloud that covers part of the field.
'It's now or never' I use Quick Attack to hit him head-on causing him to rush off the battlefield and crash into a tree to knock him unconscious.
"Hey"
"Oshawott cannot continue, the winner the Victini"
"that was fast"
"Oshawott, are you okay?"
Everyone ran when they saw the state of the snowman, all except Cynthia who did not take, her gaze from me. I hold her gaze, after a few seconds of meeting her eyes and I put myself in a combat pose.
"We dance" it seems that she understands what I am trying to say and she advances to the battlefield.
Well, it seems that I already have her attention, I just need to measure her power and somehow get her to let me train with her Pokémon.
The butler notices our interaction and announces our combat.
"That the fight between the champion Cynthia and the mythical Pokémon Victini begins"
