Handing out Rewards!

He released Noivern and returned to the group, talking with Ash about things while looking at his Frogadier.

[Frogadier (Male) (Battle Bond)]

[Level 31]

[Ability- Protean]

[Note: Battle Bond doesn't take up an Ability Slot. But the Ability may change after transformation]

[Moves-...]

Ace took out a few disks, handing them to Ash, "Teach these to Frogadier when you have time." Ash nodded and smiled, Ace rubbed his head and turned to Clemont, "When you're done traveling with Ash, come to Paldea. Specifically, come to Raimon City."

Clemont wilted, "Do I have to…" Ace nodded seriously, "Of course! Bring Bonnie along with you." Bonnie pointed at herself in shock. Ace rubbed her little head, smiling, "There's a very prestigious Academy in Paldea. I happen to be a Teacher there. The benefit is that you can own Pokemon at any age."

Bonnie's eyes sparkled, "Okay!" Clemont sighed and rubbed her head, "I'll talk to dad." Bonnie cheered and Serena smiled gently. Ace turned to her and nodded, "How is it?" Serena looked serious, "Good! Training is going along fine. I can keep up with Ash, Teacher."

Ash was stunned, "Teacher?" Serena smiled, "I'm a student too~" as she winked, spitting out her tongue cutely. Ace nodded at her and got serious, "You come along with Clemont too, after Ash is done with this region. You can go with him to Kanto when he brings home the Trophy."

Ash rubbed the back of his head, laughing, "Teacher sure does have confidence in me…" Ace smiled at him, "Nonsense! If I don't, who will? I'm still waiting for you to put together your strongest team to come challenge me! Why else would I train you, for fun?"

Ash shrugged with a smile, Ace shook his head at him with a smile, looking back at Serena, "Misty, May, and Dawn already came to Paldea to learn." Serena froze and felt a sense of crisis.

Taking away my Ash!?

No, this won't do!

Tripling training!

Ace nodded at her under pressure look. Good, good! When you're under pressure, you'll grow faster! Then Serena can knock down Diantha and Ace can have a good laugh.

Look, even a newbie trainer I trained for a bit can slaughter you, what are you the Champion for?! Zehahahahahaha!

It's a good thing he got to Serena first. Otherwise she'd be like the rest and some kind of coordinator… What kind of garbage is that? No, No. Listen, two coordinators are enough! One is a Gym Leader! Now the next one is the Champion!

Worthy of being my Disciple's harem!

Ash ate Serena's donuts happily, not knowing that his future life was set up a long time ago…

After settling everything, Ace left the group.

He didn't go far and found the Rocket Trio, giving them a thumbs up, "This time you made a huge contribution! I have rewards." Jessie, James, and Meowth were excited, "Rewards?!"

Ace took out a string of Pokeballs, "Ahem! First, James! I give you this Pokeball Collection that has Pokeballs that aren't released to the Public!" James held the Pokeballs and burst into tears, "THANK YOU, BOSS!"

Ace smiled gently at him, flicking over something, "There's also this Diamond encrusted Bottlecap. There's only 4 in the world!" James nearly fainted from happiness as Charizard popped out, cheering happily. The duo hugged each other, crying tears of joy.

Ace turned to Meowth, taking out a book while clicking his tongue. Meowth took the book in confusion before opening it and fainting with a nosebleed. It was a magazine of Perrserker in various sexy(?) poses.

Ace saw this thing and didn't really understand, maybe this was a culture barrier between Humans and Pokemon… He also tossed two TMs for Payday and Make it Rain on top of Meowth's fainted body.

Finally, Ace turned to Jessie and rubbed his chin as she looked excited. He snapped his fingers and took out a large box, "This box has all the new styles of dresses, shirts, pants, shoes, etc from Elesa's Clothing Lines." Jessie hugged the box and stroked it gently, "Oh my babies… Mama will take care of you~ Heheheh~"

Ace shook his head and smiled, taking out another box, "This is filled with all kinds of Make-up, brushes, beauty products, and various masks." Jessie was going to cry, what a generous boss!

Ace leaned over and whispered, "Also, there's lingerie in the clothes box…" Jessie blushed and stuttered, "W-W-What a-are you sa-saying?! Ha-Haha!" as she glanced over at James a few times subconsciously.

Ace smiled happily, "I also called Giovanni a while ago and he agreed to give you guys a raise in funds. Thanks to your efforts, there's a Team Rocket base in almost every region! The only ones left are Alola, Galar, and Paldea."

Jessie was happy but asked, "We didn't make one here?" Ace smiled and waved, "Don't worry, Dahara City is gonna have one. I still have this bit of skill." Jessie gave Ace a thumbs up, "You're awesome, Boss!"

Ace smiled and waved, "Keep doing good work, you guys. When you're tired of it all, come find me and I'll get you a place to retire." Jessie and James laughed, "Retire? Not until we get Pikachu!" Ace grinned, "That's the spirit! Keep training hard! Oh, and train Meowth too…"

They nodded and Ace smiled at them, "I'll see you guys when I see you, my precious Elite Squad! Hahaha~!" as he jumped on Noivern and flew away. The three jumped up and hugged, laughing happily.

Ace returned back to Paldea to tell Elesa the good news, it only took a day to get there under Ace's hurrying…
